  1. The immigrants took our league championships.
  2. Also, I imagine since it's an EPA grant, it's related to climate change increasing the flooding risk. It looks like Kipnuk is along a river delta emptying into sea, which tend to be at the greatest risk. It's the economics of pollution: the rich profit from releasing the CO2 and the poor pay the costs. But, if you don't believe in climate change, it's easy to ignore the root cause.
  3. I guess I should have provided a quick synopsis: Two of the five seats of the Georgia Public Service Commission is on the ballot for Nov 4th. They are the only thing on the ballot, so turnout is expected to be miniscule. Currently, all five seats are held by Republicans, despite Georgia being a purplish state. This commission regulates the utilities for Georgia. The private companies (Georgia Power, a subsidiary of Southern Company) have monopolies which are regulated in what additional capacity the build, what the capacity includes, and what rates they can charge. They very much want a "pro-business" commission and have invested in re-electing the Republicans. But, with the tiny turnout, any kind of grassroots campaign can help turn the tide. So, please contact folks you know in Georgia and urge them to vote for Alicia Johnson and Pete Hubbard. This will affect their utility bills, and I don't think people understand how big of a deal that will be in the next five years.
  4. So, there is a tiny election going on that affects how the AI-centric electrical capacity will be funded: that split between by households or by the big techs. But, it's also something that can be easily won with some attention. With all the incessant doom and gloom on this board (*and for valid fucking reasons), it would be nice to have a win in the next two weeks. So, please consider voting in this seemingly meaningless election that is occurring this month. Watch the video. Share the video. Reach out to friends in Georgia and implore them to do likewise. What the fuck else are you going to do?
  5. Seattle, Spokane, and Boise are not playing that shit. Honestly, Seattle might lose a monitor if they played it. (And I might miss my flight.) King5
  6. They are praying to their idiot god.
  7. That looks like more like a vet clinic than a hospital room. I don't what the fuck that whole getup is, but it's definitely nightmare fuel. There is some supervillian origin story in the making.
  8. Sounds like your weapon will be concealed.
  9. Thanks for the translation. So, this dickhead has a major hardon about beards in the military, likely as a proxy for practicing Muslims. And he "taught" counter-insurgency in Afghanistan, a country where 99.9% of the adult male population has beards due to the theocratic mandate. It gives you some insight to his version of counterinsurgency, one that makes absolutely certain that our otherness is highlighted, rather than trying to blend in. It's a vision that makes it clear to the conquered people that they are conquered by foreign invaders, who do not share their religion, culture or values. They are not welcomed to join unless they convert. I am so thankful we got out of Afghanistan before this shitshow.
  10. I wonder what percentage of those generals have read Whiskey Pete's personnel file.
  11. The party in power always gets the credit or blame for the economy. I am open to counterexamples, if you have any.
  12. What's been the reception at the Party meetings you've been attending? Or have you been more focused on volunteering for candidates?
  13. The biggest thing that would put the 2026 midterms at risk is a robust stock market and economy. That's not why the Dems should hold their ground here, but Trump and the GOP has way more to lose on a recession, and they know it.
  14. Yep. And I want any general not on board with this bullshit to do everything they can to keep their jobs as long as they can, including nodding along to the meaningless bullshit.
  15. There is a certain irony that the President of the United States says this shit all the time and then says it's not politically correct. No, it's not factually or morally correct, but apparently it works just fucking fine for politics.
