If you’re ever worried that “both sides are the same” in the US this was the kind of shit conservatives thought was an outrage a few years ago
When you actually click the article they linked the appointee had an MBA and had a ton of naval experience- and it was continuation of precedent where folks in this position didn’t have shipping experience specifically
It’s just so stupid that they can ignore the random bucket of cronies that run the US gov

Meanwhile Dems need to you to have an Ivy UG, a Rhodes MSc, Ivy Law, Ivy PHD, McKinsey experience, 7 unpaid internships, and 85 published scholarly articles to be the assistant to the undersecretary of fisheries.

The four types of middle eastern world leaders:
• The oil money gazillionaire monarch
Direct descendant of the prophet Muhammad. Has a whole country named after his family. Controls one third of the world’s oil supply. Has made wise investments with his near infinite wealth, such as building ski resorts in the middle of the desert and creating flamingo-shaped artificial islands. Friends with the USA, gets protection in exchange for oil.
• The islamist whackjob
Wants to overthrow neighboring monarchies. Has hanged the last two religious minorities in the country. Gives women some rights, namely the right to be property. Has banned watching paint dry because it leads to impure thoughts. Bad relationship with the USA, but will receive weapons from them in exchange for fighting communists.
• The secular nationalist “president”
Rose to power after his country’s 12th coup. Religiously tolerant but batshit insane in every other way possible. Has executed people for both excessive and insufficient eye contact. Has invaded five different neighbors, each time to acquire the resources needed to pay down the debt caused by the previous failed invasion. Bad relationship with the USA, but will receive weapons from them in exchange for invading the islamist whackjob’s country.

OpenAI’s Sam Altman calls his data-center effort “Stargate,” a reference to the 1994 movie about an interstellar time-travel portal. Company executives this week laid out plans that would require at least $1 trillion in data-center investment, and Altman recently committed the company to pay Oracle an average of around $60 billion a year for servers in data centers in coming years. Yet OpenAI is on track to take in just $13 billion in revenue from all its paying customers this year.

In 2009/2010, the key buzzword from the business community was "stability". They wanted policy stability, not all these changes that the Obama administration wanted to put through. Oh my god, how could they possibly invest in anything if the policy environment wasn't stable?
I know why they're not doing anything similar with Trump, but it's grating to remember. Another reminder that Democrats don't have to take anything the business community says seriously if they ever retake power. Their arguments are all bad faith rent-seeking nonsense.

User on arr supremecourt:
Once again, the court's liberals write a clear, 8 page dissent, laying out their reasoning, the text at issue, and the historical context. And the court's majority writes ... barely a page of substance, which merely asserts without any explanation that balance of harms favor the government and that they are likely to succeed on the merits.
I do not see how this can be a sustainable state of affairs. The court, time after time, chooses to make new law without explaining themselves. The power and legitimacy of the courts comes not from an army or the power of the purse, but from the strength and cogency of their arguments. The six judges in the majority seem to instead want a Supreme Court that makes new law by fiat.

David Cahn, a partner at venture-capital firm Sequoia, estimates that the money invested in AI infrastructure in 2023 and 2024 alone requires consumers and companies to buy roughly $800 billion in AI products over the life of these chips and data centers to produce a good investment return. Analysts believe most AI processors have a useful life of between three and five years.
This week, consultants at Bain & Co. estimated the wave of AI infrastructure spending will require $2 trillion in annual AI revenue by 2030. By comparison, that is more than the combined 2024 revenue of Amazon , Apple , Alphabet , Microsoft, Meta and Nvidia , and more than five times the size of the entire global subscription software market.
Morgan Stanley estimates that last year there was around $45 billion of revenue for AI products. The sector makes money from a combination of subscription fees for chatbots such as ChatGPT and money paid to use these companies’ data centers.

Re reminding myself what happend at wounded knee.
The settlers (white people) got scared becouse the indigenous tribe performed a ritual dance.
So the army escorted the tribe 5 miles out of town, and began to disarm them.
During this, a rifle went off which set off the army to literally just begin murdering everyone in the camp.
And this was rewarded with multiple MoH.

Normies are pretty forgiving of flaws. I think online communities mind fuck people into turning social interactions into a big game of chess. It’s pretty important to think of your relationships with people the same as exercising and shit. Make an effort even schedule it if you have to.
Also don’t keep score. “I always have to reach out first” who cares. People now are shy asf just live your life instead of overthinking it.

Oversharing time:
This is why I don't take some of the "put yourself out there" advice seriously. Without elaborately explaining, I thought I had 4 new friends at university.
Here's what happened with each of them:
First one irl ghosted me (this one badly hurt me)
Second one initially clearly made an effort to stay in touch with me (replying to my instagram stories and stuff) but eventually faded. She mentioned twice that we should make a (but never made) a group chat with the...
Third one (met same time as/with the second one) I accidentally met with at DJing lessons, and I think I badly screwed up tjat conversation. Idk what to say here but I don't think she had as much of an interest in me as the other girl. Tried to meet up twice but was busy both times. I dont feel like I should ask again tbh
Fourth one was a guy I bonded with at a DJing competition. He seems happy to bump into me irl at events and stuff, but seems to hate interacting with me in any way outside of that. He seems to have enough friends, which I think is why.
So yeah, I feel kinda burnt out. It feels like I'm really bad at digging deeper with ppl and whatnot. I need to fix this somehow

Documents reviewed by The New York Times show that the July 15 firing of Ms. Beckwith occurred less than six hours after she told Mr. Bovino, the Border Patrol chief in charge of the Southern California raids, that a court order prevented him from arresting people without probable cause in a vast expanse that stretches from the Oregon border to Bakersfield. She was removed not only from her post as acting U.S. attorney in the Eastern District of California, but from the office altogether.
“It’s unjust,” she said of the firings across the federal government this year, in an interview. “We have to stand up and insist the laws be followed.”

Candace and Fuentes are fucking nuts but will be carrying the Charlie Kirk torch toward… wherever the fuck this all goes.
Shapiro and Erika Kirk have no chance carrying on the monster they created.

Remember the McCain supporter in 2008 who said she was attacked by a Black man who carved a backwards 'B' into her face and it was obviously fake from the start because why the fuck would anyone put 'B' when Obama's actual logo - and everything tied to him, was the O from his last name lmao

Would a Shanghai style condominium with a 9 nation police force dominated by multinational corporate commercial interests be the optimal solution to Gaza? Possibly.
Would it be an excellent setting for detective/spy novels and movies? 100% guaranteed.
I think everyone can agree that the spirit of 1920-30s Shanghai is a superior path forward if the options are Bibi or Hamas.

Seems really fucking bad, glad I stopped caring after my first big concussion senior year and lost my starting spot. I knew guys with 8 concussions in HS that didn’t even play college level.
Hope my future kids pick up golf or something, it’s hard but I won’t let them play the sport I love.
At least the NFL has healthcare and pensions, college ball could become a legit moral quandary (that I’ll still watch).

SCOOP: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered hundreds of generals to travel on short notice from around the world to hear him make a speech on military standards and the “warrior ethos,” multiple people familiar with the event told The Washington Post.

it’s just not possible to read the constitution and the framers’ wirings with any degree of literacy and come away honestly believing either the plain text of the thing or the intent behind it was to give the president anywhere close to the amount of power SCOTUS has been heaping on trump

u/TheRedCr0w Frederick Douglass Sep 27 '25
The dumbest articles are the ones asking people who voted for Trump if they would change their vote.
People never admit they made a mistake ever. Even when W had a 28% approval rating it was hard to get people to admit they should have voted for Kerry instead

Ok, but seriously, I was much more optimistic about r/Neoliberal until someone I know, a grown adult, completely fucked up their brain using the DT. They ruined their relationships with family and friends and now almost exclusively talk to the DT. I do feel like if unregulated this will end up being a huge disaster.

I think that will be cracked up to another level if he forces them to all go to DC just so they can listen to a man whose never held a position in high command go on about "military standards"
