Same, but like a once every 5 years guilty pleasure. Surely that can’t be enough to keep them in business.

Because it’s weird as fuuuuuuuck.

Couldn’t help but be reminded of the Simpsons joke:

FoxNews: Not racist but, but #1 with racists.

If you’ve got serial killers using their last words to praise you, you might want to reevaluate everything you stand for.

Yeah, I grew up as a huge Megadeth fan. They had a lot of anti-war, anti-religion, anti-establishment lyrics. Imagine my surprise when Dave Mustaine turned out to be a conservative.

There’s a reason Air Traffic runs on old ass systems built in the 80s. It’s because that shit just works and there is zero room for error. Moving to AI would kill thousands of people.

In a December financial disclosure, Bondi said that she held stock in Trump Media that was worth over $3.9 million at the time, shares that she received as compensation for consulting services for the company.

Wtf why does the Attorney General have shares in a media company owned by the President? This administration is bonkers corrupt.

I posted this on another thread, but thought it was worth sharing here as well.

Heads up this is about to get worse. Republicans recently voted to cut retirement funding for air traffic controllers. By cutting the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS) for workers retiring before 62 (all Air Traffic Controllers are required to retire at 56 and are eligible to retire at 50), this is completely fucking over ATCs who continue working by changing their retirement math.

An open secret with ATCs is that they have numerous medical qualifications that they have to maintain to keep working. For example, if they see a doctor about sleep apnea, depression, alcoholism, etc they lose their medical qualification and are forced to take a medical retirement.

So what happens if you’re an ATC in your 40s and the government says “hey you can keep working for the next 10 years and retire without this FERS supplement… Or you can tell your doctor that you snore at night and take an immediate medical retirement right now and get paid more in retirement”?

TLDR; We’re about to have a shit load of Air Traffic Controllers taking medical retirements and these staffing problems are going to explode.

If Metallica released their 1988 album And Justice for All today, MAGA would whine and accuse them of going “woke”.

Schrodinger’s immigrant for the Trump era: they’re all criminals and have no criminal records… clearly because they’re such good criminals.

Wait… The one on the left is actually a different person from the one on the right? Not just a happy “lol look at the poors” expression on her face?

“Let’s test if anyone remembers: write down when, where and how we met each other, along with your mother’s maiden name and the make/model of the first car you ever owned :-)”

I love how this is a universal experience.

Fuck all the cops who used to use my driveway to try and catch people speeding

Wtf that’s wild. I couldn’t imagine a cop setting up a speed trap in my driveway.

I booked tickets for opening day to see it after work. I was browsing /all before the show and /r/4chan had tagged all their posts “Kylo Ren kills Han Solo, his father”.

Those fuckers.

Oh damn, I had wiped this from my memory. But yeah, I used to have a Hornets hat in the 90s despite not being a basketball fan.

As of Thursday, the company’s self-driving tech has completed over 1,200 miles without a human in the truck.

That’s not an impressive number. That’s like 2 days’ worth of driving.

Worth pointing out that quote is from 2022, before Elon spent a quarter billion dollars to get Trump elected. The new quote referenced in the article is actually tame as fuck and hardly worth writing about:

“If you look at some of these internet people, I know so many of them. Elon is so terrific, but I know now all of them, you know, they all hated me in my first term, and now they’re kissing my ass. You know… it’s true. All of them. It’s true.”
