I don't blame anyone for cutting MAGA folks off at this point, but it depresses me that it will just make the problem worse. Even if minimal, your contact with them impedes propaganda by, even a little, preventing their reality from going unopposed.

It's not your responsibility, but disconnecting is a natural vicious cycle, a radicalization accelerant.

“It’s really hurtful for the president to insinuate that you don’t exist or that your job consisted of sitting at home doing nothing and cashing the paycheck,” he says. “I’d like to see him sifting through spiny naiad in 120-degree weather looking for parasitic snails. He’s the one that goes golfing on the government dime. I don’t even know how to golf.”

Although I don't think much will get through to MAGA people, the hypocrisy is what gives me the most hope. Trump's mind is so unlike his voters' that he doesn't deserve to represent them.

Like, I wake up earlier than my wife. She has back problems, but I like to keep the kitchen nice for her and not remind her of it. So every day I unload the entire dishwasher, carefully putting away every plate, knife, glass without making noise. I don't mean it as a virtue-signal, we all probably do little things like this. I just mean, can you even imagine Trump doing something like that? Imagine him caring about someone other than him that much? Imagine having to live so intentionally and carefully for any reason at all?

That should get through to them, right?

To save everyone time, here's a draft set of productivity bullets for "turtle tester":

• Conducted thorough evaluations of turtle shell durability and structural integrity under various simulated environmental conditions.
• Monitored and recorded turtle behavior to assess mobility and adaptability in controlled habitats.
• Ensured all testing procedures adhered to ethical standards and guidelines for animal welfare.
• Collaborated with team members to analyze data and improve testing methodologies for accuracy and efficiency.
• Prepared detailed weekly reports summarizing findings and providing actionable recommendations for ongoing research.

It's important Elon Musk knows these things.

And of course the "hide extensions" option is by default.

Windows: "I helped!"

Yep, almost certain a sampling bias.

Not much more scientific, but the YouTube suggestions showed me recordings from the speech from major national networks and they had like 1.5k, 1.2k, etc views. I gave that a chuckle.

This is the best answer. The money they paid to Trump, on a case they had a nearly sure-thing defense to, would have paid for everyone's salary and the site upkeep.

This will go over well. Take that veterans, what did you ever do for your country anyway!

Indeed.

I'd say that fighting off Russian invaders so your country can return to the peaceful state it was in is working towards peace.

Alternatively, has he asked Russia if it would just go home? Seems like another pretty efficient way to achieve peace.

Someone is winning, but it ain't us.

Oh, what's this, an inconvenient truth? Can't have that...

Because politics are no longer about outcomes for half the country, just identity.

Yeah, it sounds right, but like I'm gonna trust a guy who barely lasted one Scaramucci during Trump's first term.

Yeah, even Trump took over a party and molded it to him rather than created a new one. It's not possible in a FPTP system to have more than two viable parties.

I'm eagerly waiting. For now, it's at best a circular firing squad with the world in the middle. They have terrible aim but statistically we're still all gonna die.

Emulators with rewind and save states mean regular humans can finally enjoy this game.

You mean, people of Brazilian descent in Japan?

No no no no...we just need to run out the clock - it must be almost time for another election. Let me just check the calenda-... ...SIX WEEKS? It's been six weeks?!

Senator Thune will receive an Industry Champion Award for his work on policies that encourage innovation and competitive choice for customers. We’re not aware of any pioneering copyright policy the Senate leader was involved in, but he did extensively advocate for consumer freedom, including the Filter Bubble Transparency Act.

The MPA hasn’t mentioned Thune in any communications on its website before, aside from the fact that MPA’s Senior Vice President of Federal Government Affairs worked for him previously. That said, the award shows that the movie industry group values his work and achievements.

"Here's an award!"

"What for?"

"For what you're going to do!"
