Gonna have to go the Bill and Ted route.

I'll figure out what I need in the next 50 years and let him know there. Now the time traveler can just tell me whatever I want to have wanted to know.

You have more confidence in the American voters than I've had since 2016.

I think the obscene amount of money we give them is more to do with our nation's whole 'military industrial complex' grift. Gotta keep those bombs blowing to keep the money flowing. As they say. I assume.

As always, Australia is deeply conflicted on the issue.

You know who I bet it was?

Barbara Streisand

“For 30 years, I am very consistent and I am saying something very simple: this conflict is not on the lack of a state of Palestinians, but the existence of a state, the Jewish state,” Netanyahu said, according to a translation on i24NEWS. “Every area that we evacuate we receive terrible terror against us. It happened in South Lebanon, in Gaza, and also in Judea and Samaria [the West Bank] which we did it.”

It turns out, when you terrorize people and steal their land for decades they are still angry at you when you('re forced to) let them borrow some of their land back while continuing to terrorize them.

Certainly not the only accomplishment, but I expect between the agency itself and the politicians who pushed for the budget allocations, they would want to advertise the biggest number they can come up with to justify the funding. What I think is that $520 million was the biggest number they could reasonably justify reporting.

I don’t think we (as developed societies) are going to take that risk for some phone batteries…

Not unless it's profitable, at least....

But the additional money was effectively $8 billion per year ($80 billion over 10 years). I very much want to force the rich to pay taxes...but I want it to cost less than the taxes they collect to do it.
Hopefully it keeps ramping up in the coming years.

I remember when they pretended to be that. The fact that the board got replaced when it tried to exert its own power proves it was a facade from the beginning. All the PR benefits of "taking safety seriously" with none of those pesky "safety vs profitability" concerns.

You mean the military with access to a massive trove of illegal surveillance (aka training data), and billions of dollars in dark money to spend, that is always on the bleeding edge of technological advancement?

That military? Yeah, they've definitely been in on this one for a while.

Even Jesus was only probably around 15% alcohol with his blood/wine condition.

Big missed opportunity on Ani-conda

I'm pretty sure I would immediately drown of I fell into the water in that thing

A clown car is famously a very tiny car with more clowns in it than you would expect to be able to fit.

Abortion, guns, medical costs, student loans.

It's more a list of generally winning issues for Democrats to be trotted out ever 2-4 years. With the added 'benefit' of Republicans fucking up abortion rights so bad that now it's a flagship issue for Dems more than it has been since Roe.

“I just hope we get fair treatment,” Trump said at an Iowa rally Friday. “Because if we don’t, our country’s in big, big trouble. Does everybody understand what I’m saying?”

That's the part right there. We say he says the quiet part out loud, but he doesn't. He says what used to be the quiet part out loud. Now the "quiet part" is calling for an outright government coup. We thought it was hyperbole prior to 1/6 and it wasn't. He's saying worse now.

I saw some idiot today following his wife around the grocery store with his trump shirt, hat, and jacket. It's just such a dumb thing to make your whole personality.

Considering last year was six days ago.....I agree.

"Just walk in with a big briefcase full of cash and sign some papers, what's so complicated?"
