And stealing from other people's works. Don't forget that part

I can't make money without using OpenAI's paid products for free.

Checkmate motherfucker

He came out and said multiple times that he wasn’t going anywhere

This was always going to be one of those things where "despite saying 8 hours ago that he was committed to the election and was not going to drop out, he has now dropped out". You're never going to see someone in these situations say "eh might drop out, not sure"

Sorry, what the fuck. This is a complete failure on engineering controls and safety. A safety analysis on an industrial plant would find something like this to be a major safety vulnerability that needs several redundant safeguards.

Jesus fucking Christ.

Excellent job by Lauren Windsor. A full mask off, candid discussion that shows blatant partisanship is a step up from the other wrongdoings we've heard of Alito and Thomas so far.

Republicans are a craven mafia family so they'll do nothing, but this is still a very important news story. Change to the Court will only come once the public passes a critical threshold of distrust for it, and this story brings us closer and closer to that tipping point.

The Court will be reformed in our lifetimes. It's gone too far and will be course corrected. It's just a matter of when. And I can only hope it will be while Alito and Thomas and McConnell are all still alive so they can see the consequences of their partisan actions.

Look, can we just collectively agree -- all of us who are left of center -- to work together and set our differences aside until after this election? Now really isn't the time for us to be divided. We need to first curb stomp the fascists, so we don't all get killed

still need someone knowledgeable in the loop to describe the things it needs to do, and handle exceptions

And any engineer or technician will tell you, exceptions are 80% of their job.

I'm in favor of calling the bluff, but leave it peaceful:

• Army bases remain US army bases and the national guard remains US. Texas must raise its own military without any US military equipment. Existing US servicemen must resign if they wish to join the Texas military, and will be treated as foreign army -- they must leave US bases.
• Any companies headquartered in Texas will be considered foreign companies and subject to all relevant taxes and laws. Employees will be considered employed by foreign companies. Any subsidizes and other credits to these companies are forfeit.
• Employees of the state government will be considered foreign state agents.
• Trade deals must be negotiated with the US. Any US facilities providing goods and services, like water or energy, will now charge a fair market rate.
• Texas must renegotiate trade with other countries.
• For the first five years, Texas and the US must allow people to freely move out of or into Texas. If any Texas resident wishes to live as a US citizen, Texas must pay for their relocation.
• After that, or if they choose to renounce US citizenship, Texans are considered foreigners and will be treated as illegal immigrants if they enter the US without proper documentation.
• Texas universities lose all US accreditation. Current Students may transfer to a US university at no cost, and have their existing credits recognized. Texas will pay for any moves. New students from Texas will be considered foreign students and applicants for admissions and tuition at US universities.
• Any attack on US people or property or facilities will be seen as an act of war.
• Texas senators and house representatives are expelled from Congress.

They'll be crying and begging to rejoin the US within a month. They'll be a fourth world hell scape within a year if they don't.

"Well-behaved women seldom make history."

I won't agree with her every decision nor statement, but I completely agree with her sentiment. After working for one of these oil majors, I believe it's going to take a lot of public pressure to get them to do the right thing. They'll do it, eventually, but the crusty execs need to be made to bend. My coworkers were all into sustainability and excited at new initiatives we'd hear about. It was the executive leadership that inhibited everything.

I think the only thing we lose is community -- I'm jealous that religious people automatically have that.

The solution of course is trying to return to having neighborhood communities.

On this day, McCarthy remembered -- this is exactly what everyone said was going to happen and why no one understood why he wanted the position so badly.

Imagine the outcry if instead this was a liberal justice at a Soros donor event. You'd have so many antisemitic dog whistles that it would attract every canine in the tristate area.

I really don't understand how anyone who likes logical consistency can tolerate Republicans. The hypocrisy is mind boggling.
