  1. Musk seems to be having a schizophrenic break. He literally paid people a million dollars to vote for his friends the fascists and now...
  2. I thought the show was definitely decent and basically enjoyable esp compared to what Apple has in any non-science fiction genre. IMO Jon Hamm was basically reprising Don Draper though not as depressed and angry. Nothing wrong with that I just kept think about "Don." I agree with what's already been pointed out about the sister becoming a tough watch and the annoyance when Oliva Munn became a narrator when she was supposed to be acting. There were also some annoying holes in the plot and a lot of contrived bs just to fill time. However much of the filming was outdoors in a gorgeous NY setting and that was a step-up from Apple's tendency toward dark CGI filming techniques.
  3. (an example of a politician using white supremacist language in recent history?) Gosh where to start...
  4. The problem is much larger than terrorism and that's perhaps where the discussion is taking a turn. Antisemitism is currently being used as a cudgel by people who either know better and dgaf, or are in a position where they SHOULD know better, to destroy lynchpins of our society and economy. I think it's wrong -- probably irresponsible -- to waive off differences or say there is no difference between anti-Zionism and antisemitism. There should be no confusion and to pretend otherwise is to either accede the domain or play into the hands of the truly evil in this country.
  5. I can't imagine how demented and repulsive someone has to be to write "lighting Jews on fucking fire", "assassination of Israeli(s)" and "messaging problem" in the same sentence. But here we are.
  6. To bring up the number and strength of the christian zionists in the US is no doubt treading CR. Maybe I'm not getting your point because I usually agree with you but I think you're painting with too broad a brush here. For example, I'd label current US gov't policy as pro-Zionist, but also explicitly antisemitic.
  7. My mistake. I think he's also confused between the two "antis." It's clear he targeted Jews. They were out there trying to bring awareness to the fact that there are still Jewish hostages being held by Hamas. Obviously that doesn't also automatically make them Zionists. I'm Jewish and the amount of time I spent before last year distinguishing in my own mind between anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism is near zero. What I think is not in doubt is that the policies of the governments of Israel and the US are making life for Jewish people in the US, whether Zionist or not, more dangerous.
  8. I think they're still waiting for the capability to be able to use the Taurus missiles, which are the missiles with longer range. They may have possession of the missiles, or they may be in staging, but I've read the wait now is the aircraft have to be configured to use them.
  9. The defendant is now a nominee for father of the year.
  10. Anti-Zionism is not the same thing as Antisemitism. edit - and I'm not sure what Zionism has to do with the attack anyway. He was going after Jews, not Zionists. They've charged the suspect with a hate crime. I'm going to go ahead and assume that's a much more appropriate and winnable charge than terrorism.
  11. As if I'm going to watch a 8+ minute video on an accident from weeks ago I have no remaining interest in. lol. Look, either FSD works and you're going to live your dream of renting out your car as a taxi, or it doesn't. Multiple expert vids posted later conclusively state the latest version of FSD doesn't reliably work and makes mistakes very similar to that which occurred in the video you posted today. I think you're so far deep into Elon's shit, you can't see the forest.
  12. You didn't specify the brewing method but I was traveling with a group of friends a couple weeks ago and one of 'em was using a C3 hand grinder for an aeropress brew. But if you're doing a one-off, it's probably throwing away money. I'd just buy a cheapo thing off amazon.
  13. I can see I've given you more credit for being an intelligent person than you deserve. You "breathlessly" ran over here with a yt video that debuted online just yesterday claiming it conclusively disproves something posted here. But you ignored that it's totally inconclusive AND that an EV website -- one historically very pro-Tesla -- wrote an article about the crash you're trying too hard to disprove in which the journalist SPOKE WITH the driver of the automobile. You're completely full of shit.
  14. I've tried to give you the benefit of the doubt but...<jfc dude.>
  15. https://boulderreportinglab.org/2025/06/01/boulder-attack-during-peaceful-pro-israel-walk-on-pearl-street-leaves-multiple-injured-some-critically-suspect-in-custody/ That's a local news source that's being kept updated.
  16. I keep intending to move on with my day but I keep running across good stuff. Here's a narrative of the plan. repeating for emphasis
  17. Just massive - appears to be Olenya
  18. Defense Editor for the Economist is skeptical about how much advance notice US was given He also shares what is know about numbers of RU strategic aircraft
  19. FT report https://www.ft.com/content/16f33b02-b337-49da-802b-18659582f723
  20. My opinion - Putin has no plans to stop committing war crimes and finding new targets, including a Baltic nation. The only way for him to stay in command is to find new ways to expand the war.
  21. It's been an unexpectedly glorious morning Sky News https://news.sky.com/story/ukraine-war-latest-more-than-40-russian-bombers-hit-in-drone-attack-video-shows-aftermath-of-deadly-russian-bridge-explosion-12541713 Operation Spiderweb, as probably noted somewhere above.
  22. There's supposed to be peace talks tomorrow so they probably felt compelled to reveal the plans in an opaque manner, at least.
  23. New Voice of Ukraine report: edit: adding -
