I've seen you in the markets
I've seen you in the streets
And at your political convention
Talking of your crusade
Talking of your nation
And other things too terrible to mention
And you proclaim your Christianity
You proclaim your love of God
You talk of apple pie and mom
Well I've just got one question
And I want an answer
Tell me, who would Jesus bomb?
-David Rovics

How many trannies are on psych drugs? (All of them?)

My son isn't on any psych drugs.
His best friend in HS also trans wasn't
a third trans person in his HS also wasn't

So pretty far from all of them I would say since my personal experience is none of them. I'm sure my personal experience is not fully representative but still if I know 3 trans people not on psych drugs that already eliminates "all of them" as a possibility.

And what protections are there that this isn't just an easy way to bribe trump.

None? Of course not that would defeat the whole purpose.

Of course those liberals at the NRA would say tans people can have guns

-Trumpublicans probably

475 is an absolute ton. There is no way Hyundai didn't know. What fines or penalties will Hyundai face or is it just the immigrants who will pay?

Why does every day feel more like a Neil Stephenson book?

When is Elon Musk going to buy an aircraft carrier to help fund the Navy and build a cattle ranch on the flight deck?

The Google Library of Congress? Plantir Intelligence agency I don't know just spitballing here.

Sadly Patel's trades are some of the most ethical in this government. He resigned from the board of DJT (truth social) when he was confirmed. The other trades mentioned were sales of stocks he owned prior to confirmation in order to avoid any conflicts of interest. The only sketchy stuff is the $DNUT trade which was a meme stock so maybe he just reads /r wallstreetbets and not because he thought a related investigation would cause it to pop. The big one though is Elite Depot Ltd (Shein) which he got through "consulting" with them and has refused to divest and in fact is still getting vested in it.

So while the subject of the article is a nothing burger it did lead me to learning about the Director of the FBI getting payment from a shady Chinese company.

Russian bots like stopped watches can still be right twice a day. :P

The Black family unit was destroyed, on purpose, by the drug war Nixon and Reagan ran.

To be fair Johnson's war on poverty had already taken a bite, it was unintentional to be sure but it still had a large impact.

though pilots relied on paper maps

Wonder where they learned that from?

Dora the Explorer?

I'm afraid a good guy with an AI is just as mythical as a good guy with a gun.

That said I've been playing with AI a bit just so I'm not completely behind the curve. I still trust my own logic and thinking more than AI but it does have me beat in speed.

Doctors offices will have to have good prompt writers to get the claims through AI.

Much like the current job application hellscape where Employees have to have good AI resumes to get past the AI screeners Doctors offices will need good AI claims to get past the AI denials with an ever escalating battle to see who can develop and get around the newest prompts.

And that guy is only one of 3 that left when the director was fired, but sure act like the most controversial one is the only one we care about.

It's not like an agency losing 4 of the top people in a week will have any affect on their ability to do their job.

Cary on following RFK Jr. I'm sure no harm will come to you from swimming in sewage.

Is Bluesky dependent on child signups?

I don't think more than any other social media company. It's either lazy, they don't want to do the work to put age verification systems in place, or performative like the porn companies that decided to close in all the states that required age verification. You will see that quietly after the big announcement many of them now just have age verification I imagine after a bit the social media companies will to.

I thought Bluesky was basically liberal truth social. So what now the 12 liberals in mississippi will be blocked? I'm sure everyone is broken up by it.

What's the actual logistics need for camps?

Bulk shipping rates.

I mean it was a Subway sandwich that makes it a bit egregious, also the reason why dude was willing to lose his sandwich.

Trump is going to negotiate Peace with Erin!

Right now only one model shows it hitting land. Hopefully Trump is too distracted to get involved or he'll probably accidentally convince Erin that Willmington will look better as pristine coastline.

I ran into this one a bit ago. Didn't even know they were still recording in 2001.

pay for needed upgrades

See your mistake is thinking that's needed upgrades to the grid. It's actually needed upgrades to their stock price.

I know Duke uses a tiered billing system. Residential and commercial rates are different and there are, I think, 3 steps where, as you use more power the rate per kWh changes. So in theory a data center would be paying more per kWh then a homeowner, but not sure if that difference is enough to cover the cost of the rapid expansion.

Either way the rates they are allowed to charge are set by the state but the state frequently approves increases for pretty pathetic reasons. Recently they got to increase it due to the coal ash cleanup lawsuit. We're sorry we poisoned you. We'll clean it up, and by the way here is the bill for cleanup. So I'm sure if the utilities argue that this rapid expansion to support business in the state requires a bump to the residential customer they will be approved for it.

So my ultra right wing, Fox watching, Trump voting mom is complaining about the weather this summer, and grudgingly admits that climate change might potentially have possibly made the situation maybe a bit worse.

Yet our Energy Secretary still won't see it.

#1 Brilliant, no notes.

Reduce your expectations and we'll all leave happy

My last contractor said the same thing. He isn't my contractor any longer. I had to do the thresholds, backsplash and glass in cabinets myself. Actually the work he did was fantastic but I did those last three things myself because I wanted a finished kitchen before halley's comet comes back.

Conservatives have never been the "party of small government" that's just a saying they use. They love big government as long as it's the big government they like.

They are small government for any assistance programs, but big government for any police or military action.
They are small government for protecting your rights, but big government for spying on you.
They are small government for preparing for the future, but big government for keeping us in the past.

Been that way since at least Regan and the merger between Republicans and "Christians".
