  • do not envision a similar fate for him.

    Just like Musk, Giuliani, Herman Cain, My Pillow asshole, etc., they all thought they were special. They thought they were in the "in" crowd. It's a fragile position no matter who you are, because you're "in" only until they don't have a use for you.

    Bezos, Zuck, Miller, they'll all find out eventually that they aren't special too.

  • Louis Anthony “Tony” Cox Jr, a Denver-based risk analyst and former Trump adviser who once reportedly claimed there is no proof that cleaning air saves lives, is developing an AI application to scan academic research for what he sees as the false conflation of correlation with causation.

    Cox has described the project as an attempt to weed “propaganda” out of epidemiological research and perform “critical thinking at scale” in emails to industry researchers, which were obtained via Freedom of Information Act requests by the Energy and Policy Institute, a non-profit advocacy group, and exclusively reviewed by the Guardian.

  • I don't think the media understands how pissed everyone is. Red, blue, and in between, most are pissed. Especially in cities where everyone isn't scared by a person with a different background.

  • See, this is where the arguments come in. The holy book for all is pretty vague, and they kind of go with the times of the period one reads it and what religion (or non) you are. Jesus was Jewish and Christianity didn't start until much later. Every single disciple and follower that Jesus knew, called themselves a Jew until they died. There was a lot of overlap.

  • I'll never understand the anti-other, Abrahamic religion people. They all worship the same god with the Christian having a bonus of Jesus add-on. "No, our version of Judaism is better!"

  • Ackman said he was “gravely concerned” because he believed the left-wing candidate’s policies would be disastrous, triggering an exodus of the wealthy that would endanger New York’s public services by hollowing out its tax base.

    wtf? Is this really the route they're going to take? I know, pay your fucking share of taxes and then there wouldn't be a "hollowing out."

  • That had to be made by Elon because he's the only one that looks decent in that video. Hilarious that trump shared it. Incredibly insane that it was made at all, it's about as evil as evil can get.

  • Ah, maybe. I don't like either one of those, Jeffries is a sell out and has been for a long time. I guess I just don't listen to them and consider them the mouthpiece of the worst of the democratic party. Bernie Sanders is more my speed and I consider him establishment.

  • BTW, Sh.itjust.works isn’t US based.

    I know. Reuters is owned by a Canadian billionaire family if that's important to you.

  • I wouldn't exactly call this melting down and a few people aren't the "establishment":

    On Wednesday, many Democratic lawmakers and officials either denounced Mamdani or notably declined to rally around him. Republicans — including President Trump — crowed about Democrats embracing a democratic socialist who has called for reduced police funding and sided with Palestinians in the Gaza war.

    • The top two Democratic leaders in Congress, Sen. Chuck Schumer and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, both New Yorkers, declined to endorse Mamdani even as they applauded his victory.
    • New York Rep. Laura Gillen, from Nassau County, called Mamdani the "absolute wrong choice for New York."
    • Rep. Tom Suozzi, also from Nassau County, said he had "serious concerns."
  • From the outside looking in, the pageantry of it all is probably why it sticks. You also have someone to talk about. We get the drama of US citizens and immigrants being sent to concentration camps or prisons in other countries.

  • I'm glad you are. I love the "No Kings" slogan and that other countries are taking it up. I wish they would call the next protest in America "No Kings II, then whatever they were going to call it here." I guess we could could call it unofficially, "No Kings II."

  • The Guardian isn't horrible, but not perfect. Reuters, if you squint, is pretty good 3/4 of the time. Propublica is great for investigative journalism. All of them have horrible headline writers at least half the time. Politico isn't worth checking, but every month or so, you might miss something. It's a mixed bag basically, so you have to check out a few.

    I try to post the "real" stuff (not what trump says, but what he and the republicans are doing) on politics at sh.itjust.works on weekdays. It's US based and I'm anti-right.

  • They're not that great anyway. They're barely holding on to my personal list of reliable sources. If I really need something, there are other places to go. Good luck BBC.

  • I really like the pre-identity thing, especially if you're going to other types of activity pub applications or switching instances.

  • Someone said at the bad place that he died for our gains, lol.

  • trump effect, all the people that work for him turn evil villain looking.
