30M? Chump change for him. Ireland, get a wealth tax ready just in case

I hope there are archives somewhere

I’d visit!

Yeah, it’s invasive and predatory and sucks and I hate it. But I also don’t understand it. Someone out there is paying for my data (demographics, purchase and browsing history, psychological profile maybe?) how are they making back their money on that purchase?

Seems like either

• a) the marginal difference in wealth extraction for the whole population is worth more than the data costs,
• b) it isn’t and these purchasers are net losing money, or
• c) there’s some nefarious propaganda goal where the motive is more control than profit

I wish they’d leave me alone*

*Except for steam

I genuinely don’t know why they think my data is that valuable, but it seems everyone wants a piece

She isn’t wearing headphones. She lives in a world where enough people don’t care about the things she cares about to keep the system going

A person of culture! Kookiburi!

I hope it hangs around the neck of every feckless congressperson that votes not to keep their constitutional powers

I wanted to believe that it wasn’t us, but there’s isn’t any malice or incompetence I could put past this administration.

Weirdly, electric cars are also worse for tire abrasion since they tend to be heavier. Trains and electric bikes (in cities) seems like a good way to go

Metal would wear out too fast on asphalt/concrete though. What if we used metal tyres on metal roads? Less friction, less abrasion! It’d be expensive though to replace the whole road. Maybe just a pair of strips the same width as the tyre spacing. Cars could even connect to each other to reduce aerodynamic drag… Nah, would never work

Epstein class cares a lot more about profit than it does about soldiers

Seriously. I already don’t have streaming anything (except dropout), barely ever eat out, brew my own coffee, wear decade-old clothes, don’t drink or smoke, get movies at the library, etc… It’s like I’m involuntarily boycotting the elective economy

I think Trump wants a win and regime change but highly doubt he has the stomach for a real war with a real country. This really feels like Bibi pulling the strings

I like him better, he seems less performative and like a good man with the courage of his convictions. In TX, he’ll probably have broader support while crockett might have more enthusiastic support. Both would be miles better than Paxton/Cornyn

Oh, I also don’t like Crockett 's AIPAC support or that she jumped into the race after talarico

Probably nothing, but reminds me of Michael Hastings who felt stalked by LAPD and died in single vehicle crash Probably nothing

Yes, please. We’ve been absolutely rocked by the recent plague circulating around schools

That’s the one that will really hurt (the right people) - Canada and EU dropping US copyright would hurt too, and if all else fails, just dump Treasuries

I remember being so incensed by that. Foreign goons jumped out and put their hands on peacefully protesting Americans, with no consequences

SC saves trump from himself. Stimulus as money gets out back, prices lower, he declares victory

It’ll be interesting to see if he’s dumb enough to apply different tariffs out of petulance
