i absolutely love going through https://okstupid.lol/ and seeing all the MEN who signed up for "WhiteDate" thinking they could find far right women to mingle yet all it lead to was their insane incel beliefs being leaked alongside their real address and name

I like to think that when someone receives a letter from me in an official capacity, they imagine me composing it bathed in diffused light from antique reading lamps while sitting in a cocoon of leather, brass, and aged hardwood. It's a better picture than reality: me balanced in a wonky chair at a crumbling second-hand desk in a poorly climate controlled, institutionally painted cinder block office while squinting under the harsh fluorescent ceiling lights my university actually provide…

Wanna watch a senile, incompetent clown repeatedly murder the English language?
Remember that all this slurring & mispronunciation has all been just in the last year, folks.

Doin' US taxes again. Super blah without a donut!!
Last year my personal filing was about 200 pages long. (We also do a separate corporate filing.)
And once again my taxes will far, far, far exceed the actual disposable income I have received.
Yes, this is an upper-middle-class, first world problem.. But I do hate paying what amounts to big wads of $$ to pay for El Cheato's destruction of the US.

May every brave sex worker at every brothel unionize for fairer working conditions https://thenevadaindependent.com/article/sex-workers-at-pahrump-brothel-are-unionizing-alleging-unfair-contracts-and-conditions

Sex workers at Pahrump brothel are unionizing, alleging unfair contracts and conditions
In the last week, the brothel has fired three workers who challenged a new contract that they say is unfair. Lawyers have filed an injunction with the federal labor board.

AI is NOT "disruptive" technology. At least not when used with "horse and carriage vs the car" and "the printing press" and "the internet" in mind.
In fact, when the car came, it was a democratizing thing, it was disruptive, as in: the old ways where cast aside plus EVERYONE could eventually afford to own such a disruptive device.
The printing press made books available to everyone, not just the insanely wealthy few that could afford it. Th…

Leaders around the world appear to be struggling to respond to an American administration
that is no longer constrained by pretending to care about human lives, the law, or the cost of its hubris.
In Europe, only Spain refused to allow the U.S. to use its bases to attack Iran,
while France, Switzerland, and Slovenia condemned Trump’s attacks as a violation of international law,
as did Russia, China, Chile, Venezuela, and Pakistan.
And yet as the price of fuel a…

The Unbelievable Madness of Our War With Iran
Last year, I warned about the possibility that Israel might drag the United States into a regional conflict. What’s happening now is worse than I could have ever imagined.

Every time leftists talk about escalating against Trump, liberals point out that Trump is looking for an excuse to invoke the insurrection act. This is true. But they don't notice that he's the least popular president in history and the military has largely already made it clear that they won't be used against civilians. That risk assessment completely lacks context.
Trump could not possibly win against an insurgency because the only thing he could possibly offer to end it would be his own resignation. If Trump tried to escalate to civil war he would either lose or be removed.
More importantly, Trump compulsively escalates. He will continue to start wars because he thinks he's doing a good job and he's a hero. When he gets frustrated at some foreign enemy because he's actually completely incompetent and only able to win against incompetent and wildly unpopular opponents, he threatens war crimes.
I am familiar enough with history to fully believe that he ordered a nuclear strike last night and people said "no." Humanity has been saved multiple times by people refusing to follow orders, and you don't find out until years later. (This is also not the first story of a president dangerously deep in mental decline. Reagan lost the nuclear football.)
The longer this goes on, the greater the risk that eventually someone will actually let him do something unthinkable. But that's significantly less likely if he's trying to fight within the US border.
Just looking at things from a risk perspective, "he's going to invoke the insurrection act" is not nearly as big of a threat as democrats think it is, and it's about time they think realistically about this fact.
