  1. https://web.archive.org/web/diff/20250601021212/20250806023110/https://constitution.congress.gov/constitution/ Kind of crazy, the constitution on congress.gov is now missing sections. Sections 9 and 10, and portions around the Writ of Habeus Corpus.
  2. That last bit? Yeah we don't believe in measurements or empirical science anymore. It's all whatever people believe, because facts are just so partisan these days
  3. Update: NASA is being ordered to DESTROY two perfectly functional weather satellites https://www.irishstar.com/news/us-news/white-house-orders-nasa-deliberately-35680658 We will simply ignore the dangerous weather. When's the last time a bunch of kids died in a preventable tragedy but for a few minutes of warning, anyways??
  4. Lordy. Matt and Trey are really gonna be teeing off
  5. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/05/us/jeffrey-epstein-mansion-photos.html https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/aug/05/jeffrey-epstein-letters-photos Everyone from Pope John Paul II, Mick Jagger, Elon Musk, Donald and Melania Trump, Fidel Castro, Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, Richard Branson, Saudi Arabia crown prince Mohammed bin Salman and Steve Bannon; right down to a signed $1 bill by Bill Gates that says "I was wrong!"
  6. More sly pricing games to drastically increase prices without sticker shocking, like keeping the price the same but making it be per unit instead of per lb. Happy to hear from Chickensandwich why it's actually a good thing though
  7. New still was released for tomorrow's episode NoCR, mmmkay?
  8. Goosing the national debt by $4,000,000,000,000 is good for inflation right? https://www.cbo.gov/system/files/2025-08/61466-DebtService.pdf
  9. It's almost like pasteurization is a critical step in food safety or something https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/florida-reports-21-cases-ecoli-infections-linked-raw-milk-2025-08-04/ Aug 4 (Reuters) - The Florida Department of Health said on Monday that there have been 21 cases of Campylobacter and E. coli infections linked to drinking raw milk in the state, including six children under 10. The state health department reported seven hospitalizations linked to the consumption of raw milk containing disease-causing bacteria from a particular farm in Northeast/Central Florida. "Sanitation practices in this farm are of particular concern due to the number of cases," the health department said. The Shiga toxin-producing E. coli and Campylobacter infections can cause diarrhea, vomiting and stomach cramps. In severe cases, they can cause kidney failure, which is of particular concern for children, the health department said. In Florida, raw milk is sold only for non-human consumption as pet or animal food, which limits sanitary regulation efforts. Containers must be clearly labeled that the raw milk is for animal consumption only. Federal health officials have warned against consuming raw milk due to the bird flu outbreak in the United States. U.S. Health Secretary Kennedy has been a proponent of raw milk.
  10. Wait, so the July jobs report that added a miniscule 70k jobs is actually good news, based off of April income numbers for only "native born" Americans, however they track that? Lotta qualifiers and mix and match, but I hear they've got new numbers people in charge now anyways
  11. This holocaust survivor does https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2025/3/25/i-am-a-holocaust-survivor-uk-police-interviewed-me-for-protesting-genocide
  12. nevermind that the last voting rights act was declared null and void because racism had been solved, according to Roberts.
  13. the slavish insistence on treating their idiocy as a reasonable counterparty in a discussion is maddening. It's not """being equitable to both sides""" - it's equivocating alchemy and chemistry. One is bullshit fantasy and one is hard science.
  14. It was SO GOOD back when COVID was hitting in Feb 2020 and President Trump fought against nation-wide testing because if we had no positive tests then we had no pandemic!
  15. It's not like our president has a history of running whatever he's in charge of into the ground and then moving on to the next thing. It's hard to predict how a failure will happen, given the variety of unnecessary risks and stresses on the "free" market system, but at this rate there's not gonna be any money left for consumers to consume and participate in capitalism
  16. My family had a beloved Volvo 240, my sister claimed and destroyed every single front frame assembly from Pick n Pull in San Antonio learning to drive it lololol. What a great car to learn how to work on cars
  17. Small businesses owners are the lifeblood of any fascist movement. They always fall for the lie precisely because they think they're temporarily embarrassed oligarchs/billionaires, only to get tossed on the pyre with the rest of the rabble. The 1930s budding reich under Hitler enjoyed broad support from small businesses owners that got him his seat and power, only to get gutted or consumed by state-sponsored cartels ran by the old money ruling class
  18. When """moderate""" means ok with Alligator Alcatraz, fuck those fascist apologists
  19. Private funding is always obsessed with growth above all else, even business model sustainability. When your only goal is growth, and you don't give a shit about outcomes for the people consuming your product/service, you're gonna run that enterprise into ground and ruin everything that made it successful in the first place. It's half the reason I have a career - cleaning up that mess of bad foresight is a very very reliable means for finding work and engagements
  20. Trump is literally a WWE half of famer. He's carnie to the bone
  21. Discussion is much more active in other threads where posting facts and discussing them is less likely to cause crashouts. But seriously, maxwell getting transferred to jail in aggyland is just too fuckin absurd. It's completely ridiculous how the president is protecting this child sex trafficker, but even talking about it too rude for polite company
  22. The qanon crowd exists BECAUSE they lack the curiosity to look critically. Of course they were unaware of empirical facts that were easy to look up. If they weren't, they wouldn't be qanon
  23. Unfortunately, the conflation is intentional by the fascists. It is a means to preempt discourse and discussion on the topic, and ultimately control the dialogue. It's why any criticism of Israel is met with accusations of antisemitism
  24. Your argument is that PBS was crowding out the TV viewership market for wholesome programming? Please say more, and provide some supporting info
