Georgia Republicans take emergency action on Trump indictment

  • Lol. Kemp isn't going to help Trump. Trump is blocking basically every Republican with ambition from pursuing the White House. Kemp has ambition, and this indictment is pretty much a win-win for him. If Willis gets the conviction, Trump is gone for 2028, and Kemp can run as a successful governor of a swing(ish) state. If Willis blows it, her future in Georgia politics is toast, and he knocks off a rival down the road. The only way to fuck this up is to do anything.

    Experts: Jack Smith’s latest move means Trump can’t use Judge Cannon to prevent pre-election trial

  • For anyone but Trump, the indictment would be deadly. Trump already knows he's screwed, so the number of indictments don't matter. Trump is either going to win the Presidency, or he's going to (try to) flee jurisdiction.

    Twitter silently removes login requirement for viewing tweets

  • The irony is that Zuck has wanted Twitter for a long time. He was literally the wolf at the gate for over a decade. And in less than a year, Elon gave Zuck the perfect opportunity to strike.

    If you were given a choice between a fancy boat or a fancy car, which would you pick? You can't sell either.

  • The smart play is to take the car. Saltwater corrodes everything and the upkeep of any boat is an absolute nightmare.

    BUT, boating is a pure leisure activity, unlike driving. And a really fancy boat is sort of like an AirBnB.

    NPR: Over $200 billion in pandemic business loans appear to be fraudulent, a watchdog says

  • In economic aid packages like this, the goal is to spread money around in hopes people will spend it. Drop the cash from a helicopter, give it to random citizens, it doesn't actually matter so long as the money goes out the door.

    Estimated Russian losses from 24.02.2022 to 22.06.2023 (Day 484)

  • 222,650 war dead? From combat? JFC. Those are the bodies (or parts thereof) Ukraine can find, I presume? Probably twice that number wounded, and maybe another 50,000 or so dead from other causes (sickness, accidents, etc.). So, roughly around 700,000 casualties if we buy the Ukrainian figures?

    Grinder woes, or, listen to the complaints of a lazy cheap bastard.

  • Have you cleaned the hopper? The beans you are using are probably oily, and over time, those oils can get sticky and slow your feed time. If you have, then it's either time for a new grinder, or you will need to start single dosing. Just do it when you get your beans - throw 18g in baggies or something - and it'll make your life easier.

    Robert Bowers convicted of Pittsburgh synagogue massacre, could face death penalty

  • So, I'm not big on capital punishment, but if anyone deserves the death penalty. . .

    Enshittification: An explanation for why Reddit (and basically all corporate social media) is getting worse

  • It's a basic monopoly move. Why is Google making it's search function shitty? Because it's a monopoly and you won't go to a competitor. Reddit assumes that it can make these moves because it doesn't have a competitor, and if it did, it could buy out the competitor right now.
