How much you wanna bet the majority of personnel on that aircraft carrier would still happily vote for trump’s successor (Vance? Trump again, illegally? A festering maggotty sack of feces? Anyone with an [R] next to their name?) in 2028?
MAGA people never learn.
They don’t care. Zero compassion. ICE don’t believe that the people they’re detaining are their fellow humans, let alone their equals.
This is already a thing.
Better question is why they ever had any faith in an unqualified alcoholic TV propagandist to head up the world’s largest military.
“You’re not mah daddy, a’hm your daddy!”
Yeah I read that now too. I just thought that it was weird that they went from “System 7…” up to “OS X” just like Apple did. But it’s just very plausible coincidence.
Yeah I should have clicked through to the source article. Good call.
My theory on the System / OS numbers being suspect was nothing. Just a coincidence. I should’ve known.
The article does seem to be rage bait though. Or at least its enraging to those who didn’t read the article thoroughly. It’s not as if the driver is being pestered with ads. An unobtrusive banner on one screen that is only visible when the vehicle starts up is hardly a “full screen ad” being forced on drivers.
Has anyone actually seen these ads in the BMW, as described?
This article seems fishy to me. Especially this part:
The ad has been available in more than 70 markets since July 27, 2026, scheduled to run through August 10, 2026, on any suitably equipped BMW running Operating System 7, 8, 8.5, 9, or OS X built after July 2020.
“System 7, 8, 8.5, 9, or OS X” are exact versions of MacOS, dating back to 1991. Why would BMW’s software versioning match Apple’s exactly? I mean it could be a coincidence, but it’s weird. Especially “OS X.”
Not that I’d put it past any car manufacturer to do this, capitalism gonna capitalize. But I thought the EU was more obnoxious about controlling/preventing things like this. Or does BMW get a pass since they’re a European brand?
Alastair Reynolds “Redemption Ark” series is great.
Ann Leckie’s “Ancillary Justice” (Imperial Radch) series is fantastic.
She didn’t win. Has the genocide stopped?
The US company I work for is a massive multinational manufacturing corporation with factories all over the world, including Spain. What the fuck are supposed to do, cut ties with our own facilities, because the orange pig is throwing a tantrum?
Burning River is back, baby!

Grabbed the wrong ones getting out of bed.
“Just following orders” is not a valid defense for heinous acts. These people are evil. They are not only following inhumane orders, but going further. They’re not ordered to murder or rape people in custody but they do, because they want to. They’re grown ups making their own decisions. And those decisions are evil.
They are not mindless beasts. They know what they’re doing. They have no empathy. No respect for human life. They chose their paths. I’ll celebrate when that path leads to their demise.
Death to all Nazi scum.
They are kidnapping, torturing, starving, raping, and killing innocent people.
Celebrating their harm/death is definitely the right call here.
Tesla needs to build an electric bus, to throw random execs under whenever Musk “pulls a Nazi.”
I call him Kid-ney Stone
They’re the new Bradgelina.
How come they don’t have a celebrity couple portmanteau though? Something like “Tomdaya?” Or “Hollandaya?”
