    Yeah the system certainly has a bunch of slack in the line. Prosecutorial discretion, plea deals, and so forth. Lots of gray area. A President going after people who said mean things about him does not have as much gray area. Sorry, grey* area, @Doctor-Phibes

    The PC is the diagonal, and the internet is the frog. Because a good analogy is like a diagonal frog.

    apparently some of us are coming around to the realization that there can be legit principled people who made up the maga movement. Just kidding, that realization is not within their grasp.

    @89th said in The one thing that can save traditional media?: @Mik said in The one thing that can save traditional media?: @jon-nyc The problem with that is they are sampling things that have already been created. Once AI is most all of what's out there to sample you get into this content death spiral. Funny, I was just thinking this morning how content could get into its own self-referencing vortex. It seems like a solvable problem. Not too worried about that one.

    In fairness, public messagers like the Bee are different from TNCR posters, in their culpability.

    I've actually never listened to her. My strongest impression about her was when she was standing at Trump's left shoulder in some speech he was giving in his first run. I remarked about how beautiful she was. She has taken some turns, because the culture has given her leverage. It wasn't the culture that directed her, it was her inclinations. She's as crazy as people will be, without boundaries.

    That is cool. Their whole goal was frequent, reusable, economic launches. I posted in the New Glenn thread, the Blue Origin stuff gets a lot of jokes because how far "behind" it is than SpaceX, but I really enjoyed the 1.5 hour watching of those 2 behind-the-scenes tour with Jeff Bezos, it really, really, dare I say, really shed light into all of the work and decisions that goes into building reusable boosters and orbital vehicles. It also shows you what can happen if you have 100 billion dollars and are very smart. Kind of like @jon-nyc if he had 99 more billion dollars and 99 more smart.

    I liked this one - “"You're a pest, Dennis. A menace. A selfish, spoiled little boy and I've no use for you.” He always came around at the end, though.

    Indian accent too fake. But it's a promising concept. Just need better execution.

    I like Vance OK, but he's vulnerable. His association with Trump was the fast track to a potential WH bid, but it comes with a whole lot of baggage. The GOP also has a far deeper bench of attractive candidates.

    @89th said in A good day for Mason Rudolph: Rudolph reminds me of Trent Green or, more recently, Kirk Cousins. A talented backup that never much of a chance earlier in their career but seems to have the arm to lead a team if he's given enough of a real chance (i.e., a multiple games). He was given an opportunity in Tennessee last year, but it was a real cluster **** of a situation.
