Any word on when TXSE will start up? Supposedly the infrastructure was laid months ago and the rumor was early 2026…

Somehow I can't quite fantom that the US is about the same as Malaysia or Romania. On the other hand free countries are all about equal, you're free to go where ever you can go.

An implicit admission that they are glorified babysitters.

@Horace said in Free Press to be bought by CBS parent: Shades of Musk at the beginning of Doge. Hopefully it works out better for Bari than it did for Elon.

He likes to lead with an air of objectivity, research and facts. But I remember a few years ago he had a polemic against a topic I understood very well. It became really easy to see the distortions and lies through omission. Haven't seen his show since.

So a bit of creative accounting to keep certain people happy while others suffer.

It got way too mainstream for progressive heads to be so far up progressive asses, that they assumed they could virtue-shame everybody into accepting anything. Interesting to see the trans thing was the turning point. Reasonable case to be made that it was a necessary if not sufficient part of the platform that got Trump elected. Well done, progressives. You led with your hearts, and your hearts led you right into fascism. Oh, the irony. Whatever will the world do now.

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

Drinking to forget.

@Axtremus said in The Dogs of Chernobyl: Cerberus coming? Boris the Insult Comic Dog.

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

Since when did it become OK for law enforcement to wear masks?

said in Trumpenomics: https://x.com/scottlincicome/status/1954557849712894030?s=46 I assume ‘70%’ refers to the portion of the tariff that will hit consumers come fall. Updated for August. Apparently Goldman didn’t fire the guys doing this. [image: 1760476503495-img_8315.png]

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?
