When I was a kid there was a cartoon called Captain Planet.
The bad guys would build these factories that didn’t seem to produce anything but pollution. Like, they would take in trees and sea creatures or whatever, and the only thing that would come out is smog and green water. It was very on-the-nose.
Bitcoin is a pollution factory.
This whole DeepSeek freakout seems like an Op by the AI grifters to get more money. “We have to defeat China at the new AI space race!”
Cope how? I’m not a fan. The worst thing in the world for Lockheed would be if US’s adversaries decided they weren’t going to be designing any new weapons systems. Lockheed runs on fear of what’s next.
Lockheed’s stock price fell because they missed on earnings. It’s batshit to think a new fighter coming out of China would be bad for Lockheed. 🤡

The wedge already exists. The Trump people started leaking that Elon is a seagull less than 3 days after the election. The problem is that Elon paid for Trump’s victory and he’s continuing to throw money around. Trump knows this and it’s why he keeps appointing Elon’s goons to the administration (beginning with JD Vance and continuing with David Sachs and all the other VC).

Anarchists find it really hard to support despotic regimes even when they’re opposing the USA.
Next time they pick a patsy for a guy with distinctive eyebrows they should find a guy with the same eyebrows.
“Invading” is a curious word to use when the US military is already the main military presence on the island.
You’re overthinking it.
In any case, The USA already controls Greenland in every way that matters from a strategic perspective, and has since the 40s.
Tesla is the new BMW and nobody’s using those buttons.
You’d probably have to lie between them instead of just looking at a photo, to assess if it’s still possible.
Clearly they were put there with the intention of making it difficult/uncomfortable to lie down on the subway vent. If they were installed incompetently that doesn’t make them unhostile though, it just makes them ineffective for their obviously intended purpose.
Also the future is bleak in the poly-crisis.
That cliff committed an act of terrorism.
TBH I think it was always clear that he was going to be at least somewhat right-coded given that he was so competent with firearms.
I personally don’t care what he thinks about pronouns or whatever, unlike Rittenhouse or that subway guy he actually went after one of America’s true villains. The right wing violence in this country finally found a legitimate target.
Biden takes his pardons very seriously. He would never pardon someone who stands accused of serious crimes.

To the extent that he wasn’t a criminal it’s only because our government is too corrupt to make his actions illegal.
He wanted to kill King James. Regicide is always based.
Unironically one of the most surprising thing about the current crop of techbros is how anti-intellectual they are. Back in the day Paul Graham published a smarmy essay about how you shouldn’t have possessions except books. Nowadays, I see so many techbros saying “I hate books” and “I never read.”
It’s weird to have your self identity be both I’m smarter than everyone else and also I don’t read. I really am baffled at how they square that circle.
