Ah yes, Elon Musk deciding who gets government contracts to build spaceships. Move along, no conflicts of interest to be seen here.

Wittingly or not, it’s quite clear they are.

What a well-chosen photo at the top of this article. Two utterly uninspiring men with no ability or will to relate to ordinary people and their problems.

“We are picking the most important fights and lying down on the train tracks on those fights,” Schumer toldThe New York Times earlier this month.

That’s a more accurate metaphor than he intended. The fascist train will not even slow down as it runs over him.

Jon Stewart had an hour-long interview with Hakeem Jeffries the other day, and it’s just painful to watch. Jeffries resolutely refuses to offer even a single hint of anything the Democrats intend to do beyond expressing vague sympathetic feelings towards unhappy voters. It becomes quite clear the Democratic leadership has no intention of even trying to take part in the resistance the USA needs, and would rather drain the energy of any such movement into their morass of vapid messaging, meandering non-promises and wearying inaction.

The senior Democrats have no intention of fighting for the people. Any effective resistance will have to come from elsewhere.

but it will protect itself.

Or, facing conditions where it can no longer do this, it will boil off into fascist autocracy, which seems to be where we’re headed.

I agree with the [email protected] elsewhere in this thread. Corporations are the dangerous artificial intelligence, and “line go up” is the paperclip problem. We’re already facing it, and it’s destroying the planet and everything we depend on to stay alive.

it is just a matter of very carefully the drive before booting it up

I’m curious about what the missing word is. Cleaning? Inspecting?

What are the chances the hard drive would still be readable, I wonder?

And keep backups, folks.

But how can techbros get rich from bees? Bees just make themselves for free then serve the greater good, the little buzzing communists.

It should be noted that Hugenberg didn’t ever suffer any real consequences for what he did.

Also the way all the formerly “anti-Nazi” businesses just suddenly switched when it was clear where the money lay, and ended up building concentration camps and supplying the poison gas for them, all for profit. Capitalists have a sickness and nothing will stop them from pursuing more money, not even the prospect of helping murder millions of their fellow citizens.

These white supremacists are thrown into confusion whenever a white person isn’t chosen for anything at all. Which would just be pathetic, but they run the country so it’s a problem.

In response to an emailed series of questions, a spokesperson for the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said the agency still deems the risk to human health for the general public to be low.

For how much longer can we trust their pronouncements? All the US government departments are under the control of compulsively lying anti-science Nazis.

Why is dictating gender the government’s business? Where are all the Republicans who always objected to the government intruding into people’s lives? Was it all bullshit from all of them? Was there not a single Republican for whom this was more than a veiled demand that they be allowed to be a bigot and an asshole?

And where are the protests over this? Think how tough transgender people have it, and how much tougher the Nazi government is making it for them. Think how this is denying people basic rights. There should be mass protests in support of transgender rights. There’s so much irrational hatred and cruelty. All of us who can see the inhumanity should be doing something, even some little thing, to help trans people and obstruct this program of cruelty designed to drive people to despair.

He should use more. Parts of his brain are still encouraging him to move around and do harmful things. He needs to be more comatose.

I guess her crime was to try to employ more people who weren’t cishet white men. Unforgivable to the fascists in charge. And anyway, they just get off on cruelty because it distracts them from the emptiness inside.
