Everyone should send his office “fundraising” emails three times a day since Senate Democrats aren’t willing to be the opposition. (If you aren’t a New York State resident, use an address of a Tesla showroom or Trump Tower or a random NY address. Staffers read constituent emails.)

Albert Sellars LLP had the proper response.

Why would a separate entrance stop drug trafficking? I’ve never been to that library but from the photo, it seems like you could just walk like 500m away, be in a forest, and hand someone a whole bucket of that sweet Canadian fent we all know and love.

I’m not sure Russia could conquer any reasonably-sized country at this point. Ukraine’s tenacity, resourcefulness, & drones plus western weapons has basically ensured that no matter what concessions Russia “wins,” it’ll be a Pyrrhic victory. It’ll probably take them a decade just to get back to where they were prior to the invasion.

According to independent estimates (that I just googled but seem fairly consistent across different sources from different countries), Russia has had almost 1,000,000 casualties and lost over 10,000 tanks. They’ve even lost a few T-54/55 tanks, which were designed in the 1950’s and stopped being produced in 1981. One report even said they were taking tanks out of museums and putting them back into service. (I couldn’t verify that but it’s probably not a good sign that any 40+ year-old tanks have been spotted on the battlefield.)

At this point, I’m less worried about Russia attacking an EU/NATO country than I am about Russia collapsing and all the regional instability that would follow.

If this isn’t the first Brand Nubian joke on Lemmy, I’ll be shocked. It might be the first for the whole Fediverse.

Punks jump up to get beat down. Or I guess climb up to get beat down in this case.

I’m not sure if this is still true but awhile back, I read that setting up factories in India can be expensive due to lack of energy infrastructure. A lot of factories expect to run 24/7 and the added cost of backup power systems was an issue for investors, especially in low-margin, high volume, competitive industries where every hour of downtime (or fuel costs for backup generators) made a difference.

Those grid capacity issues may have been fixed in the time since I read about it. It was a few years ago and the energy-sector has changed a lot. But if that’s still a problem, it would be a better place to invest government funds, especially now that renewables+battery backup are relatively cheap and don’t have to be imported.

There’s so many reasons India would make an ideal manufacturing hub. If they can fix whatever issues (infrastructure or bureaucracy or whatever), they won’t need a subsidy scheme to attract investment.

Half the 2000s Silicon Valley star executives seem to be there. Mark Zuckerberg even dresses like he’s in a Limp Bizkit cover band now. They’re not irrelevant due to money/power but they aren’t culturally relevant anymore and are seemingly all having a collective midlife crisis.

I revoke Trump’s security clearance to my secrets. If he submits an FOIA request, within 90 days, I’ll be happy to send him 40 pages of redacted text where the only words not redacted are “Ivanka” and “BOFA.”

Gifts to public officials are property of the United States if they’re above a certain value so it’s a good thing fascist art is always worthless. We, the people, don’t have to collectively own what’s no doubt the worst painting seen since Saddam Hussein’s mansions were seized.

For Non-Catholics, a pope being seemingly on his deathbed and then rising again gives him double the powers of a Level I pope. He now controls Episcopalian doctrine and has unlocked a new pope-mobile with an extra turbo boost and some customization options like cool flames on the side.

On all microblogging platforms, I just follow people and periodically pare it back to something manageable. The sweet spot for me is following 200 or so people where a handful post all the time (and are fun and smart) but most are just friendly people, experts who don’t have poster’s madness (but add a lot when they do post). And some bots here and there for weather or breaking news but I’m very selective there. (I only want breaking news alerts that are actionable like, “A natural disaster happened.” and not 20 posts a day about political drama.)

That strategy has worked for me since the days of Twitter. It ensures there’s content for me to read when I’m playing with my phone but not so much that I’m unable to keep track of it all.

If their tech team is as incompetent as reports indicate, it’ll all be publicly available (along with every other government secret) soon enough.

He doesn’t need his voters anymore. None of the scenarios where he inevitably leaves office involve an election.

I’m now boycotting GEO Group. Henceforth, I will only do IRL heist missions in places where there’s a public prison option.

I mean, it’s in the federal register with his signature on it: https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2025-03-20/pdf/2025-04865.pdf

There’s no way to know if it was done with autopen, his hands, or some intern using the Annotate->Add Signature feature on their MacBook or whatever but his signature is on it.

If I were a journalist or columnist or any other media member, I’d try to find answers instead of asking questions we already know the answer to. Like, “Trump promised a salad. Will it contain lettuce? We asked experts.” is not journalism. “Trump to make potato salad.” is journalism. We already know Trump isn’t eating leafy greens and is just dumping mayo on potatoes and calling it a salad.

Marco Rubio must be so proud to be a part of all this.

Even ignoring geopolitics, I don’t think Tencent is going to accept shares in an unprofitable start up in an unproven and possibly permanently unprofitable industry in exchange for one of the most valuable tech properties on Earth.

That’s probably the Occam's razor explanation. I obviously have no proof for my little pet theory.
