  • The mainstream conservatives (i.e. those within the Overton window of what’s acceptable in mainstream society, or not open Nazis/KKK) have the big corporate networks. Those Nazis who are too Nazi for Elon Musk have their own instances which everybody else fediblocks from orbit just to be sure, where they can run around, sieg-heil and shout racial slurs all day to their hearts’ content. Which leaves those to the left of the centre-right, who are divided between the tankie-triad instances (full of people who think that Stalin did nothing wrong and Putin’s OK too) and the rest (which ranges from liberals to ancoms).

  • He’ll be parachuted into 10 Downing St. to run the UK.

  • I should probably give The Illuminatus! Trilogy another read.

  • This is the future conservatives want

  • It’s called the Switch 2 because you take one look at it and switch to a Steam Deck

  • Given that Boeing and SpaceX are planning to collaborate on designing and building the next Air Force One, which will be a novel design fit for the DOGE era rather than a workhorse like the 747, and Trusk want them to have it ready ASAP, your hopes may yet be rewarded.

  • To be fair, the pensioners only need to install a remote-admin app and click OK on a few dialogs. The nice person calling from Microsoft tech support to help them get rid of their virus can do the rest.

  • Germany will exit it next. Orban has already provided the language, and not doing so will be incompatible with the Staatsräson.

  • Well, do you want your children playing that and getting nightmares?

  • Are they automating their jobs away to let the rest of humanity live lives of joyous leisure, or will those non-owners who no longer provide utility to the owners just be starved to death?

  • They should also make plans to fund a Radio Free America, for once the corporate US press starts fully parroting the party line.

  • The key to popularity and success is to be yourself—after you have ensured that your self is likeable and not creepy or offputting.

  • Which is also how you spell Putin in French. (I did a double-take when I first saw a French newspaper headline mentioning the Russian dictator.)

  • Nicole endgame

  • This is my surprised face

  • Maglevs could revolutionise the future of inflexible point-to-point links (they’re mostly used for things like showpiece airport trains, and future plans are fixed single-line systems like the Japanese one). IIRC, unlike legacy double-rail systems, you can’t have switches for diverting trains between two lines at speed, meaning that the sorts of flexible railway networks that currently exist can’t be replicated with maglev.

  • I was against school bullying, but now am of the opinion that Musk should have been shoved into many more lockers.

  • Do they believe that, somewhere, there is still a dole like the one punk rock was built on in the 70s, or have romantic visions of sleeping under the stars and making enough coin begging/busking to buy the odd kebab? Or are these people who have generational wealth they can tap into, making unemployment into a sabbatical of sorts?
