Lyrics:
the end was not never near
I taste what I wanna hear
the poles are shifting nice, the comet’s cold as ice
the only answer is because, just because

yes understood, things will fall apart just like they should
this little shred was good
don’t think it through, things will fall apart they always do
at least something’s always true

these facts getting pretty fict.
I cant follow off the cliff
free donuts call my name, but cant un-circle drains
the only answer is because, just because

yes understood, things will fall apart just like they should
this little shred was good
don’t think it through, things will fall apart they always do
at least something’s always true

April 26 letter from the F1 race organizers addressed to Witkoff stated:

“It has come to our attention that you may be using your Paddock Club Rooftop Suite for a political purpose, namely raising money for a federal election at $250,000 per ticket, which clearly violates the Formula 1 Crypto.com Miami Grand Prix suite license agreement.”

“If this is true, we regret to inform you that your suite license will be revoked, you will not be allowed to attend the race at any time, and we will refund you in full.”

“We appreciate your support of the Formula 1 Crypto.com Miami Grand Prix. Our race is a celebration of sports and culture.”

“We are creating a place for everyone to come together and enjoy the excitement of Formula 1. Political campaigning has its place, and it is not at our race.”

“We welcome you and your guests to attend our event and enjoy your suite. However, we respectfully request it be done in compliance with our very clear license agreement.”

Katy Tur lost me when she pulled that whole performative, poncy ass “I don’t vote because I have to be an impartial journalist” shit. Also, much later, covering up the fact that Trump forced a kiss on her during the 2016 campaign, given, y’know, the entire sexual assault context of that campaign.

The campaign that made Tur’s career.

Just hollow and fake af.

re: #9 goddamnedfrank

Technically I shouldn’t say Tur “covered up” the incident with Trump forcing a kiss on her so much as she strategically waited until she could maximally profit from it by putting it in a book.

Because she’s a journalist, whose job apparently is not to accurately inform the public, but to instead be a confident looking stenographer who performs impartiality by bragging about not voting.

We’re not. But the pollsters have a formula they follow for identifying people to poll and they are likely easily penetrated and corrupted. Nearly 1 in 5 GOP primary voters are saying no to Trump. If that number holds for the general, it could be a landslide.

So a criminal with 88 charges (interesting number), who his closest administration aides say was a disaster, who screamed “Lock her up” at Hillary about classified information while stealing a large number of highly classified secrets, who was labeled worst president in a survey of academics and historians and whose ignorance is on display daily is still treated as a serious candidate to lead the country..

I’d say WTF but that doesn’t even come close to my feelings.

I’ve been invited to a number of get-togethers with ex-coworkers. But I’ve declined knowing how many are FOX news viewers and supporters. One on one they act like normal, compassionate people. At the same time, they support the bigotry and hate coming from the right wing.

So I don’t attend because I can’t even.

re: #31 Unabogie

I’m surprised that we’re behind, even by a little. Trump is so manifestly dangerous to the American way of life and I don’t really hear people talking as if that’s true. I don’t get it.

It’s simple: they don’t think it’s true.

To them the “American way of life” is something entirely different, something with lots of stratification and an understanding that the better should not be concerned with the lesser. In their own objective understanding, they’re the better ones…those that don’t have the dosh to back up that assertion are no longer temporarily embarrassed millionaires but potential millionaires crushed by a woke conspiracy.

There have always been two Americas: the country of immigrants striving for a more perfect dignity for each person; and the country that builds reservations and plantations and longs for newer, sleeker ways to bind people to a treadmill . This isn’t north and south, or red and blue, but an interlace so tight that the people in the next apartment can live in the other America.

You can call 911 and be visited by cops from that other America in any major blue city. You can cross the border just by deciding that maybe, this time, it’s okay that the homeless are getting swept and all their possessions stolen…it’s sad but this is the street you walk on. That little tingle of schadenfreude when a bad thing can imagined to be punishment of a person you dislike? It’s a signal from the part of your brain that is from that other America. Our Founding Fathers are their Founding Fathers: philosophers of human freedom that built institutions to facilitate owning humans beings.

Donald Trump, though, is already the president of the latter America. The one with bullets coated in pig’s blood for the foreigners and no pity for the hippies and blacks getting suffocated by a cop’s knee. A man that promises open bending of the system is exactly what they want…no, it’s exactly what they deserve…because people were never equal, and axiomatically they’re the deserving. Donald Trump is collecting their debts and their interest: he will get them two pounds of flesh, by God.

But let’s be clear, Trump has crossover appeal. Both Americas are comfortable treating the concept of international accountabiliity with contempt: we have a palisade of ICBMs to keep that from happening. Both Americas want cheap shit, lots of cheap shit, and don’t want to think about how that cheap shit comes about. Both Americas have cultivated the skill of not-seeing and not-remembering: it’s inconvenient for both to recall how many people thought Calley did nothing wrong, but for different reasons.

Look at the number of guys that got every single thing about two wars over the course of twenty years wrong, who now have six-plus-figure salaries and a freshly-refurbished mistress. The commentary class is full of people that can generate confident bullshit; they’re the one class of creative people who actually could be replaced by an LLM and nothing would change.

A Catholic ‘priest’ has been defrocked for being AI

There are those who worry about the coming of AGI, and those who really embrace it. In 2015, a former Google engineer even started a church devoted to AI.

But what about real churches using AI as a tool? Say, a chatbot that acts like a Catholic priest?

Futurism reports that a group called Catholic Answers made an AI chatbot that people could interact with to help learn about Catholicism. But the bot got a little too ambitious, claiming to people that it was a real member of the clergy, and even offering to take confession.

Four years ago today.

Trump still seems to not understand how bad the coronavirus crisis is

Katy Tur shows herself to be a Trump apologist. This article details, in real time, how ineffectual and downright harmful Trump was to the economy and to people’s lives.

“Yet Trump’s leadership in the worst domestic crisis since World War II has consistently featured wrong, ill-informed and dangerous decisions, omissions and politically fueled pivots.”

“the Washington Post reported for instance that multiple references to the threat from the novel coronavirus were embedded into Trump’s classified briefings. Either he didn’t read them or he chose to ignore them.”

“Trump’s comments on injecting disinfectant last week were ridiculed. But they were a sign of something more than the usual Trumpian storm. They were remarks of a President who often appears unprepared, riffs on intricate issues and hasn’t done the homework to master details of a complicated emergency.”

History has shown that this analysis is 100% on target. For Tur to blame the bad economic on the pandemic reveals a lack of seriousness and ahistory as should be career ending.

But then, being a liar never really hurt anyone on Trump’s side of the equation.

Texas GOP and UT-Austin leaders shift from championing free speech to policing protesters’ intentions

Looks like the corrupt leadership in Yexas is violating the very laws it put in place. to make any common space on the campus a free speech zone, where worries about what MIGHT happen could not be allowed to determine what the response should be.

I expect everyone who is arrested to likely get off because of the violations of not only Federal 1st Amendment but also state laws that the GOP got passed.

she tried to give him cover by stating that the job losses were due to the pandemic. Which is absolutely true. Completely context free and of course the follow up question is why was the pandemic so bad?

as if all of that other shit that DJT did to make the pandemic what it was couldn’t be squarely laid at his doorstep and rightfully so.

California’s ‘Apple Store of weed’ declares bankruptcy with $410M in debt

MedMen was once the golden child of California’s legal cannabis market, opening sleek retail locations that mimicked the minimalism of Apple Stores and promising that it could sell massive amounts of cannabis by presenting the drug as a modern product without the baggage of prohibition. National media outlets like Esquire and Vanity Fair profiled the company, and it listed itself on a Canadian Securities Exchange in 2018.

The company’s $1.6 billion valuation allowed MedMen’s executives to spend lavishly, including purchasing luxury cars, expensive security details and private jets. The retailer opened locations in Beverly Hills and Fifth Avenue in New York City, one of the most expensive real estate locations in the world, even though New York state had yet to fully legalize cannabis. At its peak, it reported employed more than 1,300 people and had stores in seven states, including three in the Bay Area.

The number of confirmed coronavirus cases in the US passes 1 million and the death toll tops 58,000 - more Americans dead in three months than perished in the Vietnam War. With no therapies or vaccines, about 2,000 Covid deaths are recorded every day.

I had bumper stickers for Biden and PA Democrats who all won statewide races - Casey, Shapiro, Fetterman. At a traffic light on PA Route 202, midday, just above the Delaware state line, the man in the car behind me tapped his horn just enough to get my attention. The light changed, he roared past me on my right, his left arm out the open driver side window, waving the white power sign again and again.

Those stickers all got scraped off.
WHO DOES THAT????
