  1. and just like that, ACB became a """DEI hire"""
  2. about that https://www.newsweek.com/us-intel-block-blamed-russian-missile-strike-americans-2040507
  3. 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
  4. 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
  5. 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.
  6. This is a pretty solid description of where we're at
  7. Taking over the railroads? Now he's just playing the fascists hits.
  8. 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.
  9. 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
  10. 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/
  11. 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!
  12. 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
  13. 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
  14. 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
  15. Well duh, dude. There's trans mice out there! They had to lose their jobs
  16. incredible levels of disinformation that can and will destabilize a democracy
  17. 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
  18. 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
  19. Same move as COVID - if you have no data, then nothing is wrong
  20. Interesting, next time Zelensky goes to the White House he'll be backed by world leaders https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2025/03/05/starmer-and-macron-plan-to-accompany-zelensky/ "Diplomatic sources told The Telegraph that Mr Trump was now looking for Mr Zelensky to offer more than just the minerals deal to move peace talks forward." aaaaaaand there's the goalpost move by trump. Nothing Zelensky ever gives up will be enough. We've seen this tactic used before in the late 1930s to great effect.
  21. What the fuck are you talking about? The fire conditions yesterday (and that persist today) were as bad as 2011. Where is this victimhood and grievance about "fear and evil" coming from? Is the mere mention of California, who just had massive-scale wildfires and is topically relevant, enough to short-circuit your brain? I don't understand your performative grievance here. You haven't even stated an idea aside from "everyone is just overreacting". What do you want to discuss?
  22. At my office when they first did RTO, the building's shared parking garage ran out of space and we had at least 2 people per desk in the office, with extra tables and temporary workspaces littering every hallway. DOGE doesn't give a shit just as management largely didn't give a shit about if RTO actually would be positive for the business or not. It's about expressing their power over the workers.
  23. I'll let my brother in law know who had to evacuate that it's all just overstated hype. Go eat a bag of dicks, slorch. People are trying to NOT die in a fire.
  24. You mean all those people getting fired by DOGE? Our national parks and forestry service have been gutted already, the defense mechanism you hang your hat on has already been undermined. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-forest-service-fires-3400-workers-park-service-cuts-1000-2025-02-14/ Yeah, I did. All it takes for them to be complicit is to do nothing because they've been fired and have no authority to act. If they protest what's to stop the president from doing as he did before and threaten to pull funding over their "illegal protests"? The sawmills are necessary to get something for destroying our national forests. They can still be destroyed and wasted, sawmills or not. Shit man, he's already ordered the army to dump 2.2 billion gallons of water out of resiviors just to feel like he did something https://www.latimes.com/environment/story/2025-01-31/trump-california-dams-opened-up I'm just saying, it's ok to be aware of current events and our presidents decision making pattern. It tends to be a pretty good guide for his actions, even if it makes you feel uncomfortable
  25. My guy, what is your problem with my post? It's 100% factual. I think you're lazily using your dislike for me as a convenient excuse to ignore a national tragedy moving in slow motion
