Every Biden admin resignee I spoke to in 2024 pointed to 4 people as the leading genocidaires who intentionally stood in the way of stopping the eradication of Palestinians, pushing for it to continue: Joe Biden, Antony Blinken, Jake Sullivan and Brett McGurk.
@neutrinomoon If this is actually a competitive market, failing to pass the savings along will get them undercut by their competitors.
Also, compared to the numbers Ed's posting, even cutting costs by 75% won't get them to breakeven.
@neutrinomoon@edzitron There's a long history in tech of offering products or services below cost initially and hoping something -- usually Moore's Law -- would come along to cut costs. But semiconductors don't improve like that these days, so that pattern won't work anymore.
fuck this.
if the palestinian delegate complies, he validates his oppressor for the comfort of the room. if the palestinian delegate (rightly) refuses, he’s framed as the reason for tension (the tension exists because apartheid israel’s genocide of palestinians).
What’s odd to me is there actually is a bench right now of elected Democrats broadly acceptable and exciting to wide swathes of the party - Warnock, Ossoff, Castro, and Pritzker come to mind - and it’s the establishment of the party that seems to intentionally not involve them
Socrates in 460 BC: “The unexamined life is not worth living.”
Marcus Aurelius in 150 CE: “You have power over your mind—not outside events.”
Augustine of Hippo in 400 CE: “Do not go outside; return into yourself. In the inward man dwells the truth.”
Marc Andreessen in 2026:
woman in pink's angle got posted. they pepper sprayed him in the face, multiple agents pinned him to the ground, took his gun while his arms were near his head, and then shot him 10 times while he lay there blind. ICE fucking murdered him
i wish ill upon every current ICE agent.
@TransLink the 20 briefly showed two buses leaving Harrison at 3:21 and 3:22. Instead it looks like one did a short turn at 54th and the other cancelled, leaving us with no buses till 3:32 at least.
I can understand one short turn, but this ended up canceling both buses.
@RJ1976@SwipeWright Indeed, it wasn't his qualifications. As he says in the fourth paragraph, it was his enormous resentment preventing him from _even filling out the applications all the way_. He's mad he wasn't considered for jobs he didn't even really apply for. 🤷♂️
it's wild how much of our politics is organized around trying to appeal to people in their 70's and 80's who are dumb as rocks. "people don't dress up for the plane anymore���" your entire life has been a drain on everyone around you for decades.
Judge Ellis found that a body cam showed an agent driving erratically intentionally to cause accidents in order to justify use of force. Our communities are being occupied by lawless violent gangs funded by our own tax dollars.
@TransLink is anything being done to mitigate the bunching problem with the 20 line? Esp south of 54th, it can be over half an hour between northbound buses, esp when some do a short turn at 54th.
