It really is fucking insane... Like I get stupidity I guess, but you'd think out of their own greed and self interest they wouldn't want a rubber stamp idiot to "run" the fed, doing whatever they're told to do with the economy...

Although considering the people we're dealing with they're the worst of the possibilities, greedy and stupid...

Your testimony raises serious questions about the project’s compliance with the National Capital Planning Act, which requires that projects like the Fed headquarters renovation be approved by the National Capital Planning Commission,” Vought wrote.

“The plans for this project called for rooftop terrace gardens, VIP private dining rooms and elevators, water features, premium marble, and much more,” he wrote.

But Powell, in his testimony, said, “There’s no VIP dining room. There’s no new marble. There are no special elevators. There are no new water features. There’s no beehives and there’s no roof terrace gardens,” Vought wrote.

“Although minor deviations from approved plans may be inevitable, your testimony appears to reveal that the project is out of compliance with the approved plan with regard to major design elements,” Vought wrote.

....ummmmmmmm, am I reading this correct?

"You're spending too much money! It says there are supposed to be all these crazy expensive things being built!"

"There aren't any of those cartoonishly expensive things being built"

"Ah-HA! GOT YA! The plans say they NEED to have those cartoonishly expensive things! You're out of line here!"

...like wtf did I just read?

Biden would be like "the end" boss in the metal gear series. Just go to bed and he'll be dead when you wake up.

Trump administration: We cut FEMA, it was a bad program. Let the states take care of it.

Texas has emergency.

Trump administration: We did a Wonderful Job™®© helping Texas, it would be so much worse without us!!

The map’s staunchest critics called the map “racial gerrymandering”, while the county judge, Tim O’Hare, claimed it was just about politics

"Hear that SCOTUS? I'm following the rules YOU set! I'm only rigging it for political reasons so we always win! It's not racist at all which makes it totally fine and cool by YOUR standard! Political gerrymandering, denying a majority their say is what we're allowed to do! Yay America!"

Aside from all of them being aggravating, the ones that truly infuriate me are the ones like he's using against Brazil... Mother fucker already corrupted the "justice" system in the US, now he's using economic terrorism to corrupt the justice systems of other fucking countries.

I can't wait to be able to piss on his grave.

I hate that I'm already depressed about what they're going to do to him or NYC in general...

I know nothing has happened yet and the election isn't until November, but there isn't a single goddamn thing about this country, especially with the so called leader we have now, that makes me think they will simply allow him to become Mayor. Socialists, Democratic socialists, whatever, simply aren't allowed to hold real positions of power. The entire system is freaking out over the prospect... A single seat in Congress isn't worth causing a mess over, but running "the financial center of the world" and a city that contains the richest people on earth definitely is to them...

Ether Trump takes over NYC like he's already threatened, they deport him, or the Democrats commit political suicide and get caught sabotaging his election. I have 0 faith that he simply wins and gets to be Mayor.

US media company Paramount Global has agreed to pay $16 million (£13.5m) to settle a legal dispute with US President Donald Trump regarding an interview it broadcast on CBS with former Vice President Kamala Harris.

As usual corporations looking for special treatment, hoping to have their merger accepted, refuse to fight the fascist...

I wish someone would sue Fox for fucks sake..

91°F (32.7°C) in the factory I work at.

The law states "all factories must maintain a reasonable temperature and humidity."

Nowhere is reasonable ever defined. I am mildly infuriated. And very hot lol

Edit: 94° (34.4C) now and this post has made it close to the top of "Hot"... The gods are having a laugh lol

25 minute exposure of NGC 2264 taken with a seestar s50. Testing the new denoise function added in the most resent seestar firmware update.

No further post processing so colors seem to be a bit off as a result of the denoise feature, but otherwise an amazing result as most images from the seestar s50 contain a lot of RGB noise!

Hey Lemmy! Time to do some digging!

I was sent a link from a friend about some Totally Cool™ guy who has close ties to JD Vance: Curtis Yarvin. Anyone aware of this guy and his desires? I won't put the link in here as my last post was removed because of it, but a comment within the thread is copied below.

Apparently Japanese media covered the story as was posted to Reddit, but there doesn't seem to be too much talk of this in the US.

From a comment in the reddit discussion: “Curtis Yarvin is a far-right ‘intellectual’ that wants to end democracy and install what I can only really describe as cyberpunk feudalism. He’s suggested turning the United States into a patchwork of corporate fiefdoms ruled with absolute impunity by CEOs, as well as putting mandatory ankle monitors on all unemployed and poor people. This sounds like a joke, but I’m serious. JD Vance is not just a fan of him intellectually, but also a personal friend. As someone who has known about Yarvin for several years, it’s been really concerning seeing how he could potentially become a Rasputin-like figure in the event of a Trump victory. Beyond this, Yarvin has also spent many years advocating for what sounds eerily like Project 2025.”

For those familiar with Star Citizen lore, he apparently wants to turn the US into the Stanton system “lol” …
