He must not keep up with the news if he doesn’t realize DOGE has been a failure. Unless he’s actually signaling that he wants Trump to cripple the FCC into uselessness while not saving the taxpayers anything.

Not necessarily. I just meant in the context they provide for the event.

No. How did you reach that conclusion?

Seems like a good opportunity to frame Musk and Erdogan as allies.

Where can you buy it from that’s not subject to a global tariff?

Let’s not be satisfied until they suffer their worst quarter ever.

And then go further.

Sadly I’m sure he already has a golden parachute prepared.

I wish he felt that it was his job to make Israel anti-genocide. Not that it would matter, since he fails at everything.

US/Engineer

At my first job, a fairly large firm with a few hundred people, I remember the furtive glances around the table as everyone didn’t want to be the first one to order a beer. Once a single person ordered one, several others would too. The boss was fine with it, but nobody did it in front of the boss’s boss. We never had more than one, though.

At my second job, a small, new company with 12ish people, it was pretty common. Sometimes someone would bring a six pack to share into the office on a Friday afternoon. Usually, the owners would join in.

At my current job in the public sector, the culture just isn’t there. Nobody drinks at all during work hours. I don’t drink as much anymore, anyway.

That Mangione fellow, what a peaceful guy.

My thought always was that DDG was good to set as my default, and if I’m not happy with the results then it’s not a big deal to use Google once in awhile.

They couldn’t make everyone hate him, so now they’re trying to make everyone forget about him.

Excited to see what they’ll do with Revanced for cars.

I’m morbidly curious how they’ll manage it. It’ll be like a slow moving car wreck you can’t take your eyes off of.

I don’t know the guy’s politics, and I don’t care to know them, but if you have a super generic, easily replaceable export, you should avoid presidents who fuck around, because you’ll be the one who finds out.

The media really moved swiftly back into “Stop the fucking presses, Donald Trump just sneezed twice in a row” status

If we’re talking about breaking tech oligarchs hold on social media, no closed server anywhere comes close as a replacement to meta or Twitter.

Too high of a barrier to entry is doomed to fail.

I recall reading early on that DNC campaign advisers were recommending against continuing with the “weird” rhetoric, and the article mentioned some specific people who had worked on the 2016 campaign. It floored me that those people still had jobs. I guess they got their way eventually. I now have no expectation that they won’t be doing the same shit in 2028.

DNC Leadership would rather lose with a neoliberal candidate than win with a progressive one.

Is it, though?
