Mick Mulvaney warned that the flagpoles could pose a problem for landing the president's helicopter.

Hmm. Not sure how to feel about that. Depends whether he's in it.

Extremely depressing to read that. People don't understand that you can't have a society that truly respects everyone's rights except those people. Trans rights are the frontline of the fight for everyone's rights, not some optional extra.

Thanks. So this may not be the best source but this particular story is confirmed to be true. The exact positions of these execs makes this all the more concerning:

The four new Army Reserve Lt. Cols. are Shyam Sankar, Chief Technology Officer for Palantir; Andrew Bosworth, Chief Technology Officer of Meta; Kevin Weil, Chief Product Officer of OpenAI; and Bob McGrew, advisor at Thinking Machines Lab and former Chief Research Officer for OpenAI.

On the plus side, they're now legitimate military targets and it looks like Trump's about to start a huge war.

Congress isn't stopping him doing anything. I don't see them suddenly changing just to prevent global nuclear war.

This is how you get Mothra.

Sounds like science stuff and facts. MAGA doesn't have any time for those.

For a couple of minutes.

Everything happens "in two weeks" with Trump, but perhaps this isn't the worst thing for him to procrastinate.

On the other hand, they are openly admitting to arresting and deporting people for their political views:

The point isn't justice, it's white supremacy.

They have to know by now. They all think they're the special one. The whole MAGA fascist project is built on the principle of "leopards won't eat my face.*"

They probably don't want a double agent. Those are the ones who secretly spy for the other side while pretending to spy for you.

This policy brought to you by the party of "bird flu is everywhere and only vaccines got us through the recent pandemic, so cancel all vaccine research and stop distributing vaccines," and "climate change is already having devastating effects and will destroy everything we have if it continues to accelerate, so make renewable energy prohibitively difficult and expensive and attempt to expand the coal industry," and also "natural disasters are becoming more frequent and intense, so dismantle FEMA."

America, why did you not listen to Cruxifux?

I suspect many of them will be willing to die for Trump. Their love for that man makes no sense.

Sheehan was driving home when the Cybertruck “left the road” and struck a large concrete culvert, after which the vehicle’s “hyper volatile” battery system went into “thermal runaway” – a chain reaction of short-circuits ultimately resulting in uncontrollable temperature escalation – and caught fire.

Once power was lost, it was impossible for Sheehan to open the Cybertruck’s electrically operated doors in the normal way, the complaint goes on, highlighting a major issue that has similarly doomed others riding in Teslas. The external door handles also failed to work, and the emergency manual door release handles within the Cybertruck are “unreasonably difficult to locate in an emergency,” the complaint states.

These design problems are so glaringly obvious that the fact Tesla hasn't bothered to fix them gives big "fuck you" vibes. A company's culture comes from the top.

It will matter when the USA attacks Iran, which was looking imminent last time I checked.

Saudi Arabia and Israel. The best allies.
