  • So what are they teaching in U.S. criminal or constitutional law school classes right now?

  • Nothing is true. Everything is permitted. Payments up front.

  • FBI raids home of former Trump national security advisor John Bolton

    Jump

  • Bolton is a massive piece of shit and he deserves to be eaten by the monster he helped create. That said, this is still wrong. Prosecuting critics is not an acceptable fascist escalation just because the target is a fascist. If John Bolton doesn't have rights, then neither do you.

  • BREAKING: Trump’s $515 Million Fraud Penalty THROWN OUT by Appeals Court

    Jump

  • Aren't fraud penalties supposed to be excessive? Like if I could save $20 with fraud, and the fine was a reasonable $20, it wouldn't just be an ineffective deterrent. It would be a bad financial decision to not commit fraud.

  • Senator Amy Klobuchar learned that a video clip of her was going viral. So she clicked on it and saw her face and her voice saying things she had never said. It was an AI deepfake.

  • It's kind of upsetting that anyone is shocked or surprised by this.

  • Ugh that drives me crazy. The human eye is a perfect example of observable evolution. Organisms exist with every stage of eye development, from a photosensitive spot to a more advanced convergent evolution of our eye. And the human eye is poorly designed for it's current use, resulting in a significant percentage of people requiring corrective lenses.

  • Google will pay $30 million to settle a lawsuit claiming it violated the privacy of children using YouTube

    Jump

  • How much privacy for children can you buy back with the $30 million?

  • Texas Democratic legislator to stay in state capitol after refusing law enforcement escort to leave

  • So, she's been incarcerated for dissent.

  • TIL you shouldn't bring camouflage on a cruise.

    Jump

  • I'm going to call it that now, and probably seem really clever and funny at the next luau-themed party I attend. Then people will like me.

  • Do you remember what the first kind of alcohol you drank was?

    Jump

  • When I was like 4 or 5, I remember vividly that we would go visit my aunt and uncle. My father and my uncle would drink ouzo out of these fancy glasses with silver around the rim. Seeing a clear liquid, and being very thirsty from running around the yard, I went to one of the glasses for some water. I don't remember exactly if the adults encouraged me or tried to stop me, but I remember thinking that those glasses made water taste really bad. I still have a visceral reaction to silver-rimmed drinkware to this day.

    In high school, we drank beer, sometimes wine, and vodka or rum if we could get it.

  • Trump is losing his foolish trade war. This will cost ordinary Americans greatly

    Jump

  • Trump Is Not Losing Because Trump Is Not On Our Side. Trump is winning.

  • Wait, I thought that was a meme.

  • Five-star-ratings everywhere

    Jump

  • We do net promoter scores, out of 10. 9 and 10 are positive, 6-8 are neutral, 1-5 are negative. We get scores like "Good job, no complaints, 5 points" or "Best service ever, but my internet went down, so I knocked it down to 8 points."

  • "I support it only if it's open source" should be a more common viewpoint

    Jump

  • Sure, and I recognize that it's not a great metaphor. But I'm thinking about it from the developer side. Open Source software is not motivated by profits, and profit motivates a lot of developers. Some of the best software projects were actualized by a few committed individuals who were passionate about the purpose. But then you have Microsoft which tries to tie bonuses to lines of code, and ends up with bloated garbage because peoples is peoples.

    Open source is good, in the same way free lunches for school children are good. The benefits are innumerable. But it's not feasible to expect every developer to commit to open source projects when their efforts might not be rewarded.

  • US July budget deficit up 20% year-over-year despite record Trump tariff income

  • Turns out raising taxes on 99% of people doesn't cover the costs of lowering taxes on 1% of people.

  • "I support it only if it's open source" should be a more common viewpoint

    Jump

  • It's not a perfect metaphor.

  • "I support it only if it's open source" should be a more common viewpoint

    Jump

  • "I only eat food that's free."

    I fully support open source software, but it's not feasible under the current economic system to expect everyone to exclusively contribute to open source projects.

  • If your ice is 98.7 K it would be Ice Ic with a different crystalline structure. It would probably taste like intense hot sauce turning your tongue black and causing it to fall out of your frostbitten mouth because you tried to lick Ice Ic you daft bastard.
