  • Judge Vows to End Trump Administration’s Noncompliance ‘One Way or Another’

    Jump

  • Let me break the news for you bud. We're already facing a wide open constitutional crisis. The 1st amendment has been broken in hundreds of instances along with the 4th, 5th, 6th, and 8th. Alex Pretti was murdered for exercising his 2nd amendment. Ordering federal enforcement agencies into specific states/cities breaks the 10th. Trying to end birth right citizenship broke the 14th. He's currently planning to break the 15th with a federal seizure of voting processes via a drafted executive order declaring a national state of emergency. The 19th is under attack by proof of identity voting laws that deny some women the right to vote based on mismatched identification between their birth certificate and state IDs with name changes from marriage. Its an open secret that he will push for a third term which would break the 20th and 22nd in addition to already attempting to break the 20th on Jan 6, 2020. And Voter ID laws constitute breaking the 24th.

    So to summarize, that's 9 that he's already broken by my count and 4 he's actively trying to break. That's 13 of 27 and 7 of the original 10.

    1 (broken) 2 (broken) 4 (broken) 5 (broken) 6 (broken) 8 (broken) 10 (broken) 14 (broken) 15 19 20 (broken) 22 24

    There's another NSFW instance

  • There's something silly about describing a NSFW intance's shut down as untimely lol. As if it could have had a more timely death. Not to criticize the wording in any way, it just gave me a chuckle.

  • Crockett leads Talarico by double digits in Texas Senate poll

    Jump

  • I wouldn't put much weight in the results of this poll. Its only 369 voters with a variance of +/-5.1 points. So even using the polls own reliability variation, the actual vote could end up being 50.9% in favor of Crockett to 49.1% in favor of Talarico.

    It also somehow found that seniors and non-college educated voters prefer the energetic young black woman to a reserved white christian man born in Texas to a Baptist preacher. Color me surprised, but that seems like an anomaly in historical poll data going back hundreds of years.

    1. The US currently aligned with Russia.
    2. That would risk WWIII even if we weren't.
    3. No we shouldn't be aligned with Russia, but that's the dumb timeline we find ourselves to be in right now.

  • TIL the Windows 7 default wallpaper was created at a resolution of 10800×6750. The size of the source file is 556 MB.

    Jump

  • Because sometimes its better to not ask if you can or should and instead try. It was obviously popular enough that it still has a soft spot in many tech enthusiasts' minds. And arguably its the element of any OS that you encounter the most. Going from your home computer to even just a computer at the public library, one thing was almost guaranteed to be the same and that's the desktop background.So why not make it really high quality? They had no idea how far resolution would come and what would end up being sufficient, but because of their decision, even now people seek out that image for their desktops.

    TIL Ronald Reagan was deeply influnced by SciFi when implementing policy. He reportedly initiated cybersecurity changes within the DoD after watching the movie WarGames and asking if it was plausible.

  • Trump Won’t Stop Trying to Punish Kilmar Abrego Garcia

    Jump

  • I can't imagine the hell he's been through.

    instead scheduling an evidentiary hearing on a pending question before the court: whether Abrego is the target of a “selective and vindictive prosecution” by the Trump administration.

    The question should be what he should receive for the documented selective and vindictive prosecution by the Trump administration.

  • Amazon BUSTED for Widespread Scheme to Inflate Prices Across the Economy— Amazon, its vendors, and competing retailers are price fixing, hiking up prices for consumer products, making Amazon richer

    Jump

  • That's what's crazy to me, they survived the dot com crash and were so diversified that I have no idea how they stayed afloat. I would think that all of the combined expenses across all of their ventures without a true cash cow would sink them. Instead they survived and became the trash heap of consumer rights violations that they are.

  • You can't really compare online book retailer Amazon to global online marketplace Amazon. Your underlying point is still mostly correct, but I would exclude the years that they were primarily focused on books. From my lived memory they didn't really become the online retail juggernaut until a few years after the launch of Prime. Free shipping turned them into what it is today. So maybe the best comparison would be from like 2006-2016? Or maybe I'm wrong and the distinction isn't necessary. Idk. I'm just trying to foster conversation

  • France to revoke US envoy Kushner's government access after no-show

    Jump

  • Should it? Yes. Would I be any happier with either of those two you listed? Only marginally. Considering the significance of the French relationship with the United States (probably second only to England in terms of importance/loyalty of alliance) I would much rather the ambassador be someone like Karine Jean-Pierre. Born in France and worked as the White House Press Secretary for 3 years. Her political affiliation is independent. And it shouldn't matter but she's an openly LGBTQ black woman and unfortunately diversity is lacking at the moment. So she's experienced in public communication and she has a Master's degree from Columbia University in Public Administration.

  • I made the correct choice. I want boring. That's the whole reason I left Windows. Printer drivers constantly failing, WiFi drivers somehow, constant power drain and overheating while my laptop was asleep and in my bookbag.

  • Look how much Canadians hate the United States now

  • Do I want to die? No.

    Best I can do is wish them death and in the meantime voice my disapproval in peaceful protests and repeatedly demanding more of my representation AND fellow constituents when it comes to enforcing laws.
