Yeah, it's technically illegal to sell blood and plasma but they get around this by paying you for your time instead. Gee, I wonder why this loophole doesn't work for prostitution.

China isn't just winning, it has actually won. There's just some lag time for its victory to be recognized. America only holds supremacy in naval and air projection, but with our waning industrial output and China closing the technological gap it is a foregone conclusion that they will catch up in a decade or two.

Oops, spoke too soon. America's mayor is still recognized for saving 9/11!

Giuliani must be seething that he doesn't get invited to these things anymore.

Look at this champagne socialist decadently feasting on, uh, bread, while riding a train.

New P.U.M.A. just dropped (www.haleyvotersforharris.org)

When your only political ideology is "girlboss".

They're only 3 years apart but it looks more like 20 on stage. Biden is the perfect foil to make a senile Trump look full of youthful vitality. Literally could not have chosen a worse opponent from the entire gallery of DNC ghouls to face him. Wait, I take that back. Hillary would still be worse.

Whatever intern came up with this deserves a raise.

In mid-March, the Israeli army acknowledged that it has been facing the biggest mental health crisis since 1973.

Yeah, slaughtering innocent civilians tends to weigh on your conscience. If it was this traumatizing to pull the trigger, just imagine how the other side felt.

This AI bubble is rapidly accelerating and it will take the entire market (and global economy) down with it. And while Sam Altman didn't singlehandedly ignite the new silicon arms race, OpenAI (and ChatGPT) did usher in the era we are now living in.

Much was said about Nvidia overtaking Microsoft today to become the world's most valuable company, but take a look at the top 3:

They are ALL beneficiaries of partnerships with OpenAI. Microsoft added a trillion dollars of market cap since partnering with them last year and Apple hit new all time highs after their announcement that ChatGPT will power "Apple Intelligence". And Nvidia? Well, they were just a $300 billion dollar video game card maker 5 years ago and now they are the biggest company on earth because their cards train AI models.

I'm just flabbergasted at how quickly and thoroughly the promises made by one small startup has become the economic backbone of the entire stock market. The bubble popping for this hype cycle will be one for the ages.

And with their bottomless stupidity, Dems will attempt to overcome this defeat by moving further right to appease "moderate" conservatives rather than courting the progressives that should be energizing their base.

We're having these false "existential threats to our democracy" crises with such frequency and regularity now that everyone will be too desensitized to the warnings when the actual threat does arise.

2 parties with identical policies but one of them is openly racist while the other is kind of ashamed of appearing racist so it tries to conceal it in public.

Clearly Hamas is the very caricature of evil so anything less than sadistic violence must be done for propaganda purposes

It seems like everyone just accepted the idea that the barbarous hordes from Gaza must obviously be raping any Israeli girl they could get their hands on, repeating those claims as if it were accepted fact. But it never made sense to me- not because such acts are beneath them, but due to the time and logistical constraints they were under during their limited time beyond the Gaza borders. But it seems like everyone, including every media outlet, wouldn't stop adding the accusations of rapes to the list of horrors Israelis faced that day.

That said, I am under no delusion that the hostages, once secured and taken to their base, are not at risk of being sexually assaulted. But nearly every interview I've seen with family members of (female) hostages seems to be highly concerned with rape as a likely outcome as if this is a common practice among Palestinians. I've seen many of them repeating that "Hamas is ISIS" and let their imaginations run wild with the worst possible scenarios.

But based on the hostages who have been released so far, we can at least say they were treated FAR, FAR better than the captives under US detainment in Abu Grahib or Guantanamo Bay.

I wonder just how much more provocation is necessary for libs to accept that violent retaliation is justified.
