  1. What are you talking about? An insider was able to 50x off of this clownfiesta!
  2. this is MBA brainrot thinking in action. You know, the kind of shit where a new asshole comes in and says "YOU'RE SPENDING TOO MUCH MONEY!! WE NEED TO LOWER SG&A!!! Nevermind that the SG&A expendatures are driving a 10x in revenue for the money they're spending. It's just completely decoupled and intentionally uncritical thinking. It's how the corporate business world works, and that's what's running the show now.
  3. https://www.cnbc.com/2024/08/12/spacex-repeatedly-polluted-waters-in-texas-tceq-epa-found.html https://defenders.org/sites/default/files/CBBEP_Boca Chica shorebird nests losses - June 6 2024_0.pdf Turns out aerospace chemicals and a massive level of noise is really REALLY bad for wildlife. It poisons the water and literally crushes eggs with sound Fortunately for SpaceX, that pesky Clean Water Act juuuuuuust got gutted so he's probably in the clear on that. (not an expert but expert findings aren't hard to find)
  4. lmfao Drummond is now "Evil Hodor" to me. I am really interested to see what they do with the Burt story thread, and to see how deep the rabbit hole goes Really nice detail to find too, with the linkage to Operation Paperclip and how a file with a backward paperclip indicated a candidate to be recruited
  5. the description on the video says "inspiration behind the video" and it reads exactly like a prompt for a video generation LLM Either way, not a real trailer
  6. No longer sharing intel with planned and/or incoming missile attacks is absolutely directly attributable to increased deaths in Ukraine. That includes shit like timely notifications of launching equipment moving or getting set up, or attack aircraft fueling up on the apron before taking off to sling death at civilians. It doesn't take a fuckin' rocket surgeon to add two and two together. And honestly? I completely fucking disagree with respect to if it's a terrorist attack or not. There is no objective to these attacks BUT TO CAUSE TERROR in the civilian population. Would you argue that nazi germany's V-1 and V-2 weapons were not terror weapons?
  7. just in case anyone has some free hours and feel like signing folks up for cat facts...
  8. and just like that, ACB became a """DEI hire"""
  9. about that https://www.newsweek.com/us-intel-block-blamed-russian-missile-strike-americans-2040507
  10. The UK and France both are keenly aware of what happens when you give a dictator an inch. And they aren't separated by an ocean, so they can't just play fuck fuck games in their legislatures
  11. Dancing and bouncing off of $570 and change a bunch. 2 hours to go, let's see if we can get through it without another major geopolitical shift or tarrif announcement
  12. A pretty key difference is that the Gazans getting carpet bombed didn't vote for Israel to do so. If you want to make a hollow argument that they voted Hamas in the 2000s and so 20 years later they deserve what's coming to them that's a weird stand to take. Candidly, the Hamas leadership IS getting their turn of getting burned on the stove. They fucked around with the initial attacks, they're still finding out. The civilians trapped in the middle are hostages, not the consenting public. Here in America, the people fucking around and doing generations of damage were JUST put into office by the consenting public. They need to be disabused of their illusions that they're on the right path. The only way to make the scales fall from their eyes is to impose the pain on them they impose on others. It's the whole reason there's a leopards eating faces thread.
  13. This is a pretty solid description of where we're at
  14. Taking over the railroads? Now he's just playing the fascists hits.
  15. Zelensky: US Citizens in Ukraine Hotel Struck by Russia Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said U.S. citizens were among those who had checked into a hotel that was hit by a Russian strike overnight. The strike came a day after the Trump Administration paused sharing intelligence with Ukraine as it applies pressure on Kyiv over peace negotiations with Russia. "All night, a rescue operation continued in Kryvyi Rih at the site of a Russian missile strike," Zelensky posted on X. "A ballistic missile struck an ordinary hotel. Just before the attack, volunteers from a humanitarian organization—citizens of Ukraine, the United States, and the United Kingdom—had checked into the hotel. "They survived because they managed to get down from their rooms in time. Unfortunately, four people were killed in this attack. My condolences to their families and loved ones." Newsweek asked the State Department for comment outside of normal hours via its online media request form. Newsweek also emailed the Russian foreign ministry's press office for comment.
  16. He really is filling in the role of chief propagandist in a goebbels sort of way. He's specifying cultural things the Party shouldn't like, and then the Party is animated by his action to target the newly ID'd "out" groups
  17. Ukrainian refugees? Believe it or not, DEPORTED! https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-plans-revoke-legal-status-ukrainians-who-fled-us-sources-say-2025-03-06/
  18. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-plans-revoke-legal-status-ukrainians-who-fled-us-sources-say-2025-03-06/ Time to deport all the Ukrainian refugees that we accepted!
  19. All those genZ trump voters could be looking at getting conscripted if things really go off the rails BBC: China says it is ready for 'any type of war' with US
  20. Also, cross posting from DT - trump never planned to help Ukraine. It was always a setup Classic revisionist history, a favorite of authoritarians and death panelists everywhere
  21. All those words and you still can't actually lay out a thesis to explain your fucking point. Plus, Ukraine didn't cancel their fucking elections you death panelist - their constitution does not allow for an election during a war and martial law. https://war.ukraine.ua/articles/not-sacrificing-democracy-why-ukraine-cannot-hold-elections-under-the-martial-law/ Again, more empty speech. Many people are saying they knew where it was headed! Where was that, exactly? Everyone knows, tovarich! It's what many people are bigly saying
  22. Well duh, dude. There's trans mice out there! They had to lose their jobs
  23. incredible levels of disinformation that can and will destabilize a democracy
  24. My customers migrated off of Dbricks and into Snowflake and cloud-native tooling years ago, with alot of the same gripes as BL above. The biggest thing is that their platform doesn't really do anything novel, and if you know how to build a K8s cluster or manage a server or two, you can just lift and shift the spark jobs. It's what my customers did, at least. And they haven't looked back
  25. lol they did a bang-up jorb with the new MLB uni's (Nike get alot of blame there too), I'm sure they'll make ticketing GREAT again
