🚨 Rep. Max Miller again alludes to blackmail material he has on Sen. Bernie Moreno: "He felt the political pressure because some of the rumors that were circulating about him that he doesn't want to get out. I have no intention of sharing what will eventually become public."

Seems like Alec Baldwin hasn’t done anything horrifying in a couple months. Hope he’s ok.

I think you can make art with AI but I don't think that it's as easy as typing a prompt in and saying "that's art"

if a source file has a \0 in a string or something Github will treat the whole file as binary

The only difference between the rabid incompetent idiot who was hired for ideological purity and the senior staffer is when they were hired. In 15 years the rabid incompetent idiot will be anonymously whining about the quality of the next crop of rabid incompetent idiots.

Not only did they absolutely beg for this, they made it so that “merit” was synonymous with being white so now you’re stuck with precisely the kind of moron who believes that. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

Everyone knows what the problem is: The organizations that bring young staffers to Washington, D.C. have spent the last decade prioritizing blind ideological loyalty instead of competence or intelligence,” said a senior GOP congressional staffer, granted anonymity to discuss sensitive personnel issues. “We have a generation of rabid, incompetent idiots.”

The Justice Department is admitting that a $14 million renovation on the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington, DC, was flawed, and is dropping the criminal case against a former Olympian that accused him of damaging the pool, according to a new court filing. https://cnn.it/3RJJnwj

Under-studied dynamic: when someone thinks they’re in on the joke, and they kinda are, but there’s another larger joke that they are massively NOT in on

every couple weeks I remember the time where it looked like Zuck was going to run for president. I have to assume the consultants ultimately just said "look, this just isn't gonna happen"

This is all a crazy effort to rewrite the past, yes. But what's really terrifying is hearing these people tell us how badly they're going to fuck up the *next* pandemic they're now creating without that nerd Fauci holding them back.

Peter Navarro: "I had a million doses of hydroxychloroquine in warehouses as the defense policy coordinator that I was trying to distribute to hospitals. And Fauci got the FDA stop me from doing that."

Domestic Abuse Allegations Rock Max Miller’s Ohio House Race

Representative Max Miller, a Republican, is facing accusations of abuse from his ex-wife in a bitter family feud that might put his otherwise safe seat in play.

Reminder that on his last day of his first term, Trump awarded a commendation to Dr Fauci "in recognition of his exceptional effort on Operation Warp Speed"

I’m not sure why people are surprised by this. Christianity is, at the best of times, a marketing-focused ideology. But when there’s any significant pushback, it rapidly becomes an exercise in raw power, which is what this is. She’s asserting dominance, not trying to persuade.

Evangelist Whitney Lynn says she preaches on planes because she loves “a captive audience.” She's not alone. It's becoming a trend. If spreading your message requires listeners who can't escape, maybe it's not as compelling as you think. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/christian-...

I will reiterate: Christians in the West evangelize in public for the same reason men catcall. Neither is trying to persuade you; both are reminding you that the public sphere belongs to them and you exist in it at their sufferance.
