Wasn’t a hook em, yo.

The clip I saw where people were upset, there was a hook em. I didn’t watch it. 

and I thought there was some culture where the hook em sign is “satanic” to them?

Elon losing an internet argument to Laura Loomer is just further proof that he’ll never be a true poaster, he’s just a c-tier reply guy.

Vivek’s argument for needing more foreign born, educated workers is that Americans are fat and lazy? So is the bigger plan to 1) get rid of lower skilled undocumented workers, 2) bring in more foreign born engineers, and 3) the lazy American engineers can transition to working in agriculture, construction,  and kitchens?

I missed this platform during the gop convention.

This never happens after virtually every D administration. No sir. It’s Rs who are good on the economy. What’s that?  Ds come in and clean up the mess after an R administration and the Rs get credit?  Couldn’t be the case. I don’t believe it.

They deserve each other.

I mean, he was an H-1B holder.

“I was on a J-1 visa that transitioned to an H1-B,” Musk wrote. “They know this, as they have all my records. Losing the election is making them desperate.”

But experts told CNN those details raise additional questions Musk hasn’t answered.

The J-1 visa is for exchange visitors and can be used for foreign students to pursue academic training or research. It requires a sponsoring program, such as a university. An H-1B is a temporary employment visa for specialty occupations.

Why Musk’s student status matters

Musk didn’t detail what institution sponsored his J-1 visa, or which years he had the visa.

So magats have taken to social media to proclaim the following after yesterdays Beyoncé NFL show
 

- that wasn’t really Beyoncé and you can tell because her facial expressions felt “off”

- They were in all white because it meant “white party” and you know what that means

- Her white hat was a symbol 

- Her hand signal (was a hook em) was a signal was the devil horns

- white party = war dance

Laura Loomer, the hero no one thought we needed or wanted.  Finally Trumpco and Musk have scorned a bipolar OCD wackjob that occasionally actually does know what she's talking about.

This is fucking hilarious.

[Pancho 46487]

Yup

And vote. Unlike this fuck did until he was in his mid 30's.

He is a fence sitting fleecer. So what visas did his parents come over with? Did they secure legal status? How? Is he an anchor baby? So many questions.

America has always had this banal aspect to its popular culture.  It didn't stop us from being the greatest technological power on earth for the last 50-75 years.  And, yeah, sure, we depended on the odd Hungarian, Kraut, Brit etc. to pull it off.

The main problem has been the underfunding and devaluation of public education that comes from you-know-who.

And let's not forget a culture of unrestrained capitalism that redirects some of the best minds and best educated into dubious rich-making endeavors like VC and PE.

[TexasHooch 5266]

Both of my kids are teenagers, and we are very involved in their school- wife teaches there.  I can assure you that there are no shortage of really, really smart kids with an interest in, and aptitude for, STEM.  

The "not enough engineers" argument is mostly a red herring.  The real problem for them is that the home grown ones know their value.

We do not prioritize education. And I consider trades to require education. Underfunding? Not when we need a new football stadium or art class.

This. My kiddo had a very normal life in school. Also won State of Texas in BioChem and went to international science fair. White/Latina. Got her ride to an East Coast school paid by NASA. Still has a very normal life.

And she grew up watching the Simpsons, etc, but was also surrounded by books and taught learning is not bad.

That was kind of my comment: The tweet said Putin "wanted the Panama Canal" but what he really wants is to retaliate.  The ships mentioned in the Bloomberg article could be anywhere. 

I'll look up where Panama stands in the ranking of ships in the world in just a second.

(Edit: here it is.  So, Panama is about to have a regime change, I guess.  The canal thing is a red herring for our intelligent and discerning voting populace.  The real problem for Putin that he's asked Trump to make go away is the banning of Russian LNG on Panamanian flagged ships).

WHAT?  You mean the unholy alliance between populist nativist fascists and evil oligarchs turned out to be....an unholy alliance?  Well, shock and surprise.

CSB. I added a new Twitter X account the other day to test something out. Used a new throwaway email account. I was asked my interests and who I wanted to originally follow. I didn't care about any of that so I picked sports, business and tech. Then followed the Major League Baseball account. X is showing me all of these far right tweets including Elon, Vivek and Charlie Kirk.

This. If anything there is a glut of Ph.Ds in this country. Why do you think so many are bouncing from post doc to post doc trying to find permanent work?

The problem is you can’t work a domestic Ph.D or Computer Science M.S. 80 hours a week for 60k a year with the threat of revoking their visa if they complain.

Gen X here who has seen a wide range of industries and employers throughout my career. I definitely have had bosses who demand too much and some who demand very little of their team. There is more attention to life balance today than in the 90s but I don't see a lowering of intelligence. I also find very dedicated employees in their 20s today. Sure a 20-something is never dedicated to a employer for life but they know that occurs in the opposite direction as well.

Oh how the turn tables. I wonder how MTG became such an authority on the intricacies of managing and staffing a large corporation? Maybe it was from her experience as a “part time coach” at a CrossFit gym? 
 

Poor, uneducated MAGA voters are learning just how little they matter. Like Trump said - “I love the uneducated!”
