“I do the weave. You know what the weave is? I’ll talk about, like, nine different things that they all come back brilliantly together. And it’s like friends of mine that are like English professors, they say: ‘It’s the most brilliant thing I’ve ever seen,’” he told a bemused audience.

This is what Kevin Smith did in his university Q&As fifteen years ago. He would tell an amazing and hilarious story that would loop back around ten minutes later to land on the originating topic in a brilliant manner. Trump, not so much.

But when you talk about those numbers compared to the kind of numbers that I’m talking about by taxing foreign nations at levels that they’re not used to, but they’ll get used to it very quickly. And it’s not going to stop them from doing business with us, but they’ll have a very substantial tax when they send product into our country.

He still thinks tariffs are paid by other countries as opposed to American citizens. Completely unfit to govern.

I've seen people comment on a tech-heavy web forum about their smart TVs connecting to wifi against their wishes. I'm talking about software developers and hardware engineers who say this.

Times a thousand. I'm older and have beat the shit out of my body with drugs (ended early 20s) and alcohol (still) and don't get enough exercise and I wake up feeling reasonably good. What has been described here is outside of normal aging. Good luck!

Also, give up on that doctor. Reminds me of one that assumed I had a hemorrhoid without checking it and I actually had an abscess of infection. Emergency room doc told me that had I waited any longer for a second opinion I'd have had to get checked in to deal with it. Your current doctor is dangerously unqualified.

Quick, print them all out now before they're gone!

Why did you remind the teacher we were supposed to have a quiz?

They're not going to let us have peace and quiet after the election. That's when the real shit begins.

I remember this asshole. An antifa conf call where people spoke openly about their plans to rig the election. Ha fucking right. They can say anything with credulity because their side wants confirmation without proof. If I was completely without morals and ethics, I'd be one of those rightwing shills getting bankrolled by Russia saying the craziest shit I could come up with, too. Instead, I have a real job.

The judge said there was "no imminent threat of violence" from the man when the dog was released on him but said he was struck by the officer's "integrity" and "pride" in serving his community.

Bullshit. Any cop who thinks they're serving their community is delusional. More likely, this is the costume this officer put on for the judge.

When all you have is culture war for policy, there’s no time for anything else.

I’d love it if he got so raged out that he had a stroke on live tv.

 

The dialog makes more sense, but the narrative flow is wrong. Interesting to see this version and ponder how much the later edit saved the scene and heightened tension.

 

How you can say something like that and not be run out of politics is stunning, but that’s how far we’ve fallen. Dude also was addicted to porn booths in the 90s.

 

With 60 days left in the campaign, election denial group True the Vote has rolled out a new app so supporters can share, boost, and report election conspiracies.

 

But evangelical leaders warn that’s no guarantee their rank and file will stay involved in politics if Republicans abandon socially conservative issues, like abortion and gay marriage, even as they lean in on others, like banning transgender kids from participating in youth sports. In July, Trump nearly sparked a platform fight at the Republican National Convention over language that couched abortion as primarily in the hands of the states, a position anti-abortion advocates almost uniformly oppose.

We can only hope that he continues to piss them off and they abandon him.

 

While promoting the interview on X, Carlson praised Cooper as “the best and most honest popular historian in the United States.”

Article is actually kinda thin, to be honest. But the couch-fucker gets clicks, I guess.

 

New Mexico is seeking an injunction to permanently block Snap from practices allegedly harming kids. That includes a halt on advertising Snapchat as "more private" or "less permanent" due to the alleged "core design problem" and "inherent danger" of Snap's disappearing messages. The state's complaint noted that the FBI has said that "Snapchat is the preferred app by criminals because its design features provide a false sense of security to the victim that their photos will disappear and not be screenshotted."

 

An excellent commentary can be found here.

 

Lumma is an information-stealing malware-as-a-service (MaaS) that has been rented to cybercriminals since 2022 for $250-$1000/month and distributed via various means, including malvertising, YouTube comments, torrents, and, more recently, GitHub comments.

 

If he had been less greedy, he might have got away with it.
