Monkey With A Shell

There was an event the next day where he gave a speech to a friendly crowd and by comparison he sounded like a spry well organized guy half his age. Hardly a mention of that out there though. I’m not a big fan of his miliqtost, half steps on a lot of things but it’s playing the game with what cards are available and having decades in political office gives you the experience to do it. I’m largely willing to write off the debate as being so flustered with the torrent of bullshit coming from Trump that it put him off balance.

How long do we have to put up with this charade of her being an impartial judge? Hardly a day goes by that she doesn’t entertain some absurd request to impede the case in whatever way possible.

A deadline set by a government agency for government workers, NOT a ‘Google Pixel Deadline’. Stop writing alarmist headlines to make it sound like Google is gonna shut off your phone if you don’t comply. You should update, but knock this writing style off people.

Plugging a modem into the POTS made them smart I say.

I might just be too cynical at this point. It’d be fun to see, but at this point I suspect that any attempt to keep Trump, and I won’t pretend to think it’s about anyone but him really given the history, in check will be brushed off as ‘the biased,unfair moderators are just trying to silence him’ rather than convincing any of his followers he might be a bit too volatile for public office.

Anyone who thinks muting a mic is going to keep things civil and with any level of decorum hasn’t been paying attention.

How convenient, make sure to wheel him out in a chair with an O2 tank to really get them sympathy points.

My thoughts exactly. Things have gotten so absurd ‘OMG Turnip sed WHAT?’ that it makes it all the more difficult to sort out and find the actually bad things. With all the noise it just makes it easier for his followers to claim whatever is the latest was ‘out of context/misinterpreted’.

He’s always on about how much the media hates him, so it’d be right in character as a way to troll them, and it’s an easy click bait headline. He may not be that concerned with the people, but it’d be a bad look to gather a bunch of people in dangerous conditions to let them die of heat stroke.

“See now, the press will take that, and they’ll say, ‘He said a horrible thing.’”

Ok, so the guy is a fuckwit and all, but the article has right in it where he pretty plainly put it as a joke. We don’t need to feed the new cycle with every crass bs thing that comes out of his mouth.

Never miss an opportunity to jump in and waive that big ‘Biden Bad’ flag do ya?

Same as with fortune tellers and horoscopes, say enough things in vague enough terms and some of it’s bound to be able to fit into something that happens later. If someone wants something to be true then any wedged in ‘correct’ prediction is just validation of the expected result.

Not contracted monopolies or direct city run, but like ‘IAAS’ seems to work. Much like how you see some small cell companies providing unique offers riding on one of the big carriers networks. Often those small carriers provide better deals, particularly when the carriers they ride on are forced to sell wholesale access at reasonable rates.

The city selling wholesale access funds the infrastructure maintenance and the carriers are better able to compete with each other since all they really have to do is set up a router and pay the city’s access rate fees.

Not so far off, providing infrastructure locally then leaves a lot of the major transit to backbone carriers to make the interconnects. Those providers are largely transparent to the end users. Now nationalizing carriers like that would be a hefty lift, but if we can take the local service out of the ISPs hands it would let the municipal hosts negotiate those peering arrangements in bulk. How many towns are well equipped to handle that might be another matter though.

Pretty well every case I’ve read of municipal owned fiber nets has been a grand success, barring interference by the local carriers. Let the city own the infra and the carriers compete for access. Of course you get the whinging about ‘muh free market/choice’ but that’s the case for any public works really.

Hard to say, but with how few sizeable chunks of natural stone/metal meteors make it through it’s tough to expect some relatively fragile satellites would survive the trip down.

Although the conspiracy movement emerged out of fringe imageboards in 2017,

4chan, /pol/ if I recall

It’s an interesting story for sure, just have to wince when articles like this treat some sites like it’s a big secret place. I’d guess that in some part it’s so you don’t get those people that go to check the source and get sucked into it.

…a swift kick in the arse.

George Floyd murdered in the streets by police: “People are out of line and should be jailed for their reaction”

Old white dude gets convicted by a full jury of white color crimes: “BURN IT ALL DOWN!!!1!1”

Perfectly rational folks there.

Well there goes the one piece of politics that held some semblance of not being about the money.

On a secondary note, that seems like a time when having your ad is a super dangerous thing. Political ones aside, who wants their product attached to a situation where the viewer is probably all emotionally riled up and pissed off?
