@otokyo Bluetooth, invented by Stockholm based Ericsson in 1994. The two engineers who led its development are living comfortably, but are not tech billionaires.
@USNewsFeed_ Is she talking about nuking the South? Is it the missile silo that’s opening? Seems a bit heavy-handed. I mean, if you thought General Sherman was bad … Or was “opening salvo” what she was after?
@DineshDSouza The Dems got better. By the 1960s, they passed the Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act. Republicans, meanwhile, devolved from Lincoln to Nixon to Trump.
@WMTWTV@NorahHoganWMTW Unless you have him dead to rights, instead of “Platner claims,” say “Platner says…” It’s much more neutral, and will help preserve any claim you make about objectivity.
@WMTWTV@NorahHoganWMTW “Claims” in your intro here is a loaded, negative term implying you are about to prove Platner is spewing falsehoods. Your report does not bear that out, instead saying that PolitiFact was unable to prove or disprove Platner’s statements about the rape kit legislation.
@BarackObama Isn’t it a bit hypocritical to say political violence has no place in our democracy when this “democracy” is dropping bombs on people thousands of miles away? As von Clausewitz said, “War is nothing but the furtherance of politics by other means.”
@imPenny2x How is a planet with limited resources supposed to support all of this human hubris? Growth for growth’s sake is the ideology of the cancer cell.
I used to struggle to understand why the MAGAs wanted a colossus nation like the United States to follow the lead of an eastern European backwater like Hungary. Now that Hungary has voted out the fascists, I’m starting to get it.
@3YearLetterman@coachbrucepearl@PearlJam This is real trouble for Trump, who famously said, “I love the poorly educated.” That mutual feeling appears to be under strain. This guy who doesn’t know how to read a UK gas pump thinks he should be impeached.
@3YearLetterman@coachbrucepearl@PearlJam That’s 130.9 per liter. There are about 3.8 liters in a U.S. gallon, which then costs about 4.95 UK pounds. That equates to $6.62 per US gallon.
@3YearLetterman@coachbrucepearl@PearlJam So you’re wrong about the price of gas in Britain, but you’re absolutely right that Trump needs to be impeached. I’m glad we agree.
@JeffQuibell@RealCandaceO What part of “a whole civilization will die tonight” do you not understand? Maybe the threat is empty, but you can’t deny he made it.
