It's so cool living in the USA and getting to see these headlines on a weekly basis. No notes. Country's doing great. /s

You said it. I spent the first six months at a FAANG convinced that everyone could look at me and instantly tell that I didn't belong there. Glad I was able to flip my thinking on that one.

This is a good time to plug a book: 1177 B.C.: The Year Civilization Collapsed: Revised and Updated (Turning Points in Ancient History)

Try to live a happy life while impinging on others as little as possible. Pretty much the exact opposite of right-wingers.

Instead of turning us against each other, Putin is turning Americans against those of us who no longer look and sound all American.

No, we've always disliked them.

In a sane world, that they were duped into working for Russian disrupters would damage their brands and they'd lose their audiences. I have little expectation that that'll happen.

I looked up a supercut of his appearance on the miniatures show. Dude is quite good. I'm glad they didn't strip him of his ribbon.

“I do the weave. You know what the weave is? I’ll talk about, like, nine different things that they all come back brilliantly together. And it’s like friends of mine that are like English professors, they say: ‘It’s the most brilliant thing I’ve ever seen,’” he told a bemused audience.

This is what Kevin Smith did in his university Q&As fifteen years ago. He would tell an amazing and hilarious story that would loop back around ten minutes later to land on the originating topic in a brilliant manner. Trump, not so much.

But when you talk about those numbers compared to the kind of numbers that I’m talking about by taxing foreign nations at levels that they’re not used to, but they’ll get used to it very quickly. And it’s not going to stop them from doing business with us, but they’ll have a very substantial tax when they send product into our country.

He still thinks tariffs are paid by other countries as opposed to American citizens. Completely unfit to govern.

I've seen people comment on a tech-heavy web forum about their smart TVs connecting to wifi against their wishes. I'm talking about software developers and hardware engineers who say this.

 

The dialog makes more sense, but the narrative flow is wrong. Interesting to see this version and ponder how much the later edit saved the scene and heightened tension.

 

How you can say something like that and not be run out of politics is stunning, but that’s how far we’ve fallen. Dude also was addicted to porn booths in the 90s.

 

With 60 days left in the campaign, election denial group True the Vote has rolled out a new app so supporters can share, boost, and report election conspiracies.

 

But evangelical leaders warn that’s no guarantee their rank and file will stay involved in politics if Republicans abandon socially conservative issues, like abortion and gay marriage, even as they lean in on others, like banning transgender kids from participating in youth sports. In July, Trump nearly sparked a platform fight at the Republican National Convention over language that couched abortion as primarily in the hands of the states, a position anti-abortion advocates almost uniformly oppose.

We can only hope that he continues to piss them off and they abandon him.

 

While promoting the interview on X, Carlson praised Cooper as “the best and most honest popular historian in the United States.”

Article is actually kinda thin, to be honest. But the couch-fucker gets clicks, I guess.

 

New Mexico is seeking an injunction to permanently block Snap from practices allegedly harming kids. That includes a halt on advertising Snapchat as "more private" or "less permanent" due to the alleged "core design problem" and "inherent danger" of Snap's disappearing messages. The state's complaint noted that the FBI has said that "Snapchat is the preferred app by criminals because its design features provide a false sense of security to the victim that their photos will disappear and not be screenshotted."

 

An excellent commentary can be found here.

 

Lumma is an information-stealing malware-as-a-service (MaaS) that has been rented to cybercriminals since 2022 for $250-$1000/month and distributed via various means, including malvertising, YouTube comments, torrents, and, more recently, GitHub comments.

 

If he had been less greedy, he might have got away with it.
