It's so painful to contemplate that Google just shoved their half-baked "AI Overviews" (that nobody asked for) into the search page to juice their "So many people are using our AI numbers" to keep stock market psychopaths happy.
I'm going to need to see conclusive written evidence that Trump planned his 'tactical withdrawal' before I deliberately buy anything from the USA again. He's an economic terrorist. He's encouraged me to prefer Chinese goods. As I don't think there is such evidence, he'll have to leave office. I bet he's trading on his insider information too.
Trump, the fart of the deal.
We were talking about intro/extroversion and being an early bird vs a night owl and wondered if there's a connection. So here's a very scientific poll.
(My instance only allows four options for polls, so anything else has to go in the replies.)
Are you:
BAD: running a government like a business
CATASTROPHIC: running a government like Trump ran his businesses
Seems illegal: DOGE uses AI to monitor communications for anti-Trump sentiment
985,000 migrants entered the United States through legal means during the previous administration. They followed the rules just like they were told. They did everything right.
Today Trump unilaterally revoked their legal status.
Let me repeat. It was never about "legal" immigration. It was always about upholding white supremacy. This man is a fascist. The urgency of now to counter his fascism cannot be overstated.

Friendly reminder. I know people like to put emojis of stuff they like or are interested in their display name, but when you’ve got more than 2 or 3 of them, it makes reading your posts with a screen reader really tedious because the screen reader also reads out the coded descriptions of all those emojis. It makes it take a while for your screen name to be read out even before getting to the text of your post. It makes reading your threads unendurable, no matter how important the content is.
Nobody? OK, it was about dark magic really.
For several years, I've been convinced that A minor must have been the original scale the 'music monks' sang in but they later decided to build music theory around C Major, to avoid the technical problem of the scale ending where G#/Ab is and difficulty knowing which Octave that note is in.
I've decided there's a much simpler option. They needed to hide evidence that music is Satanic. They totally fooled me, until today.
"I was fine with the rape and the fraud and the endless lies and the misogyny and the racism and the homophobia and the transphobia and the corruption and the police brutality and the caged babies and the terrorism and the attempted coup and the autocracy and the ending the rule of law and the threats to invade neighbouring countries and the building-a-golf-resort-on-top-of-a-genocide, but now he's giving Wall Street the jitters, so I'm not so sure about this guy any more." #USpol
