And another big ass canal, for good measure.

And spend 30 years building high speed rail through it, just to flex.

There's an ongoing political effort to get it on the ballot called "CalExit"

I'm going to be fucking shook if Gavin actually does it. So far, the only people I've seen him meaningfully stand up to are bay area NIMBYs and homeless people.

"Copy" is essentially 200-OK

I remember hearing how Truman had a "the buck stops here" sign on his desk. One is very hard pressed to find that kind of accountability and ownership anywhere in today's world, especially among executive leadership, be it corporate or political.

And not a single one of them paused and went "wait, maybe the choices we're making are the problem here?" Instead, it was "keep being evil, but now with bodyguards!"

cia.world gave me a giggle

"We conjured 10,000 gibbering mouthers into boxes and just pipe their outputs over runes and components all day; we figure that eventually, we'll come up with some pretty incredible spells, though most so far have been pretty weak, buggy, and weirdly horny."

I think there's a very low but not zero chance because it really feels like Trump is trying to make Putin's Russia here in the US. When the rich and powerful men start talking shit in Russia, they very quickly end up being not so rich and powerful.

Remember when Trump said he was going to end this war even before taking office? Then proceeded to try and extort Ukraine, whined at Putin, and gave up when neither of those worked?

Unless he gets sent to CECOT

Elon's going to lose this fight. All the other rich people backing Trump still think the snake won't bite them, and Elon doesn't have the same cult of personality Trump does. He had some good will for a while, but he's been burning that ever since the weird pedo guy thing, and that's nowhere near Trump's fucking cult energy. Forty years from now there's still going to be dumbasses and edgy teens talking about how they heard a rumor that Trump is still alive out there in the wastes that used to be middle America.

I think this is smart, businesses should always strive to lower their employee-hit-by-a-bus factor as much as possible instead of relying on a social nicety. I think that would also reduce a lot of the pressure to not call out sick or take PTO.

Good meme!

Answer you probably weren't looking for:

Because while you might not be political, the Nazis are. They're political enough for both of you, actually, and they prefer it that way.

Yeah, I got close to volunteering, too, but honestly, my plate is too full doing more important stuff in the real world atm.

Yes, actually. I probably could have stepped up to be an admin, but tbh, my plate is already overfull.
