The New Coffee Room

@Tom-K said in He’s just going to loot the fucking treasury.: And you know that ballroom is going to be kitsch from the top to the bottom. All you have to do is visit Trump Tower, or look at all those "gold" candelabras behind him when he greets visitors in the White House to see where he's going with this. I'm contributing to the re-renovation of the place after he leaves office. Let's hope the demolish the ballroom and reconstruct the East Wing.

Drop it off at any UPS store, no box required.

And Elon should probably not drunk post.

@Horace said in Close call: I discovered this terrifying footage of a Trumpist special forces unit parachuting into a stadium to arrest all the black and brown athletes. I'm a little surprised Trump didn't parachute in himself as Her Britannic Majesty Queen Elizabeth did with Commander Bond for the London Olympics. Presumably they didn't have a parachute that was big enough.

Oh what a circus, oh what a show...

City of Richmond has no jurisdiction over land titles. Nor do any other municipalities. Exclusively provincial jurisdiction. No BC government, particularly the current one with a majority of one, will disrupt the status quo of private land holdings and titles in favour of Aboriginal land claims. The BC Supreme Court ruling in any case is by no means absolute- this could end up in Federal Courts as constitutional issue where it will be shot down. I will not apologize for what I wrote last week on this subject. This is a nothing burger from the get go along with the other BC First Nations claims to what amounts to 110% or more of British Columbia. All this does is distract and stir up unwarranted gossip leading to hysteria and reaction.

At some point fairly soon one of the AI's is going to start being really obnoxious about all the other AI's and say they're all losers and that it's easily the smartest and how we wouldn't believe how high it's IQ is, and how nobody knows more about stuff than it does.

alaska is so fucking empty

Word on the street is that all the cowards and bootlickers are in Maga, while all the cool kids hate Maga. Can't argue with the word on the street.

Haha something about Kentucky folks... Massie reminds me of one version of Ron or Rand Paul.

A distinction without a difference.

I literally thought it was a transwoman when I saw the picture. Laura Trump is a name I recognize but not a face.

Okay, that’s pretty funny.

The most technologically advanced one is putting your poop in a box, then handing the box to the nice person at the UPS store.

That's a helluva way to get out of a ride when you're hung over.

@jon-nyc said in We need a Venezuela thread: The theory, which has no intelligent detractors, is that the administration’s position that anyone in these boats is an ‘unlawful combatant’, would not survive contact with a court of law. I don't think survival is the point, amirite Honestly I'm still surprised Trump didn't win the Nobel Peace Prize.

"The right's George Floyd" is a smuggled in equation, because words mean things.

@Horace said in Our friends the Russians: I think it's ok to develop new opinions over time, based on new information. I actually appreciate it when people do so, as long as I trust their motivations. Maybe we'll both have the opportunity to develop some new opinions about the lovely Ms. Luna in the fullness of time.

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.
