George Cuckanopolous got cucked (as is his birthright) by the vice president on national TV, and cut the interview off in a huff. For the record, Cuckanopolous did indeed "insinuate" that the cash transfer was an illegal bribe. But "the cuck", as his friends call him, has no more evidence than anybody else has. That the provider of a certain above-board service, accepted some cash in return for, presumably, that service. Maybe if your entire case would crumble to literally nothing if a check had been written rather than cash, you don't really have much of a case. Here's some discussion. Link to video

Is anyone going to tell him how capital letters work? Jesus, it's painful to read.

In the past technology generally threatened workers in one industry while providing benefits to everyone else. I’m not sure we’ve had a single technology that threatened so many jobs across so many industries before. Also it’s not clear to me that the average Joe sees its benefits. So I can imagine a broader resistance to it than we’ve seen in the past.

Another case of the the government wanting immigrants but the people do not: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/14/world/asia/china-stem-visa-racist-backlash.html China Wants Foreign Scientists. The Public Says No, Thanks. Since Beijing announced a new visa to attract young science and technology graduates, a backlash has erupted online, forcing the government to respond.

I always thought he was a bit of a twat. Apparently, I got it the wrong way around.

Let's hope so. Could it also be that guys figured out they were always going to be ugly ass girls?

Hate has no home here, Ax.

@89th said in Hay LD!: I’m in DC. It’s amazing how safe I feel as the military is glued to their phones and eating ice cream. [image: 1760355219180-877a70f6-3fc8-4498-a268-921bdd8195a8-image.png] I don’t get it. I see a couple walking by the water, but otherwise it’s all lawn, paved walkways, and stone walls…

I could possibly see it to try and protect local stores from Amazon, but this actually hurts local restaurants and other businesses that provide local delivery.

Looks idyllic. I could retire to a house with a view like that

I feel indigenously resentful.

@Mik said in “Get Flacco” you said. “It’ll be…..: Shouldn’t be Thursday night football. I don’t disagree, especially for divisional play. Stats say that visiting teams are at a much higher disadvantage than normal away games.

Didn’t get exercised. Sad. But it’s what I was hoping for when I chose not to de-risk on Friday.
