Hey y'all. Scott here.

I love the top comment on YouTube.

I vaguely recall someone saying that a porn group were going to make a porn based on the image due to its popularity?

From the original actual news article:

Christie explained that he sees the term “woke” as referring to a “new age of thinking that's quite left and quite Green” but isn't factual. “It's based on the surface on good principles — let's protect our native bush. But then when you actually are educated and you look into a little bit further, it's like, no, that actually doesn't make sense,” he added.

Somehow in these people's thinking they're the educated ones. They know that state parks are good but national parks are bad. Smashing up the bush with your diesel soaked 4WD protects the environment. Logging native forests is good for the environment.

I see echoes of the old 'carbon is actually good for the environment' in these weirdos.

The Matthew McConaughey Salesforce AI ads make me feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

I cannot fathom in what world AI helps solve an issue where Matthew McConaughey is sitting in the rain eating a hot dog. It's infuriating.

It doesn't make sense from any angle, especially considering Salesforce is a enterprise software company who deals almost exclusively with massive B2B companies.

Average monthly share of search is a leading indicator of total market share.

This was exactly the same approach the Australian government took with its 'pacific solution'. Offshore detention into remote, hard to access locales, classify all reporting of 'illegal immigration' under national security laws. Makes getting news in and out nearly impossible.

I like it.

The faster they move the more they can get done before their opponents can mobilise resistance.

I would say that so far, there appears to be much less public resistance to Republican policies than in previous years. The Democrats appear to be at sea. The left's working class base is split. Public institutions are too busy protecting their turf, making gestures at cooperating with the new world order rather than trying to resist.

It feels like last time there was an assumption that Trump and MAGA politics a criminal dictator and fascist politics were a blip or aberration from the norm, now there's an acceptance that they're institutionalised.

This is what a kleptocratic oligarchy looks like folks. Suck up to the big man and he'll let you fleece the joint.

We do have that here. All our food comes from one of only three grocery brands. Two of which make up 90% of the market. There was a government commission into the cost of groceries but nothing has really been happened other than one CEO quitting under public pressure. But then again eggs are only $AUD 5.19/dozen so maybe it worked more than we realised.

Hope you all enjoyed government services. You're not getting any more.

It's about the same price where I am in Australia. We had a bird flu outbreak last year which meant there was some shortages but prices haven't gone crazy.

I would like to apology

He's got one trick folks.

Oprah herself was picked for her role because she was explicitly a neo-liberal individualist who did not believe that structural systems where as relevant as how an individual 'feels'.

There's a quote that came up in a 1989 profile of Oprah in the New York Times,

“When Winfrey was hired for AM Chicago, the station manager was, according to her executive producer, Deborah Dimaio, delighted that he had managed to find someone who wasn't, an "Angela Davis type who'd pickett the station with a gun in her hair."

It's runs PS2 perfectly at 2x resolution and 60fps. The only game I had problems with was Snake Eater.

Didn't you guys just declare a energy emergency? Surely that means the needs of the people must come first? Or is that not how emergencies work anymore?
