Fucking dipshit.

This explains the "periphery of a deal" that Trump was blithering about yesterday; the US is on the periphery of a deal that Iran is forging with Oman.

Seeking voter rolls is only part of the story. If successful, the admin will lean on swing states to agree to purge people the admin says is ineligible (likely dems), which WOULD change the election outcome. It wouldn't quite be: "All I need is 11 thousand votes" but it would be close.

This is VERY bad. Congressional investigation immediately. They’re trying to use Palantir to figure out who you voted for. 0% chance this ends well. Stop it ASAP.

Hey there, want to seed my hedge fund? My strategy is simple: 1) aggressively buy names of thinly traded securities that are somehow connected to current frenzy, 2) short the related index so I can concentrate even more, 3) capitalize on media frenzy and sell to bagholders, 4) repeat or liquidate.

I'm an experienced programmer. I've spent the entire day working with various AIs to simply provision a pi w/docker and nginx. They all failed horribly. Security vulnerabilities wide open, trying to download from untrusted sources, etc. Absolutely crazy stuff.

This is awesome.

Overnight, a masked bandit broke into our kitchen. Armed with opposable thumbs, he proceeded to sample everything on offer. I’d just visited the farmers market, so the menu was extensive. I can now share a highly specific peer-reviewed list of what this particular raider did & did not enjoy. 🧵

For any aspiring journalists out there, a good follow up question would have been: Then why did you start a war with Iran, knowing that Biden left you with diminished stockpiles?

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last wk.

Trump just blamed Biden for low weapons stockpiles, said he'll ask Putin if he's helping Iran target US troops but takes his word for it that he isn't, refused to say where the money he's pillaging from VZ is going, threw Bibi under the bus, & capped it off by snapping at a woman reporter Supercut:

Legend has it that Pinky Herman is the sole transgender hired as a result of the CHiPS Act.

PS., I'm cranky.

I dislike the way AI sensationalizes responses. I wish I could just turn off the hyperbole and have the AI model spit out factual answers, melodrama free. I guess we're in the age of the influencer and it would be impossible to leave their content out of datasets used to train the models.

Via 2 appeals, I fought the town. By citing their clear and obvious negligence they had to reduce their insane assessment by 70%. What boils my blood is that if I had to hire an attorney, I wouldn't be able to seek reimbursement for legal expenses. One of the most unfair systems I've ever seen.

Since Republicans are lying about voter ID again, I recorded this episode to explain what they are really up to. Please watch, like and share. youtu.be/FZn4uu8PMWE?...

Let's hope! I don't like economic chaos but I think it's one of a very short list of things that would turn fringe maga against him.

Me, pretty much:

Alexi Lalas is an idiot.

Could it be that maga is actually not fearful of transgendered people, rather what they're really afraid of are transistors? I mean, transistors are literally everywhere! Transgendered people, not so much. I can't decide whether Trump's (and maga) abject stupidity is more funny or sad?

OMG, when I saw this at first, I just thought he was giving a propaganda speech and threw in transphobic stuff to rile up the base. I was wrong. It turns out that, the president of the US doesn't understand the difference between a transgender and a transistor. He's stupid beyond compare.

Trump on the CHIPS Act: "If you weren't transgender, you didn't qualify. So they'd get the money, they'd look all over for transgender people to run the company."

Oh, hey there kitty, want some milk? On a serious note, this explains why I'm not seeing many squirrels and chipmunks in the yard this year. We're on good terms just as long as he doesn't mess with my sweet puppy who has no clue how to defend himself against anything.

Can somebody please check Kaishi for the over/under on how many times this thing has said: "look what you made me do" after some sort of terrible act?

Best half of this world cup, so far.

What, did the Norwegians party a little too much last night in the city. Probably the worst strategy they could choose is to toy with the ball midfield. Brazil is WAY too fast to play that kind of game.

The greatest thing about the World Cup is listening to the countless people who know more about astrophysics than they do about soccer all saying "bogus red card". LMAO
