That’s been obvious since the beginning.

I’ve been saying for years that the insanely heavy-handed politics of both Florida and Texas aren’t an accident nor are they a miscalculation. They’re a deliberate policy to drive out liberals, attract conservatives, and ensure that both Florida and Texas (and their precious, precious electoral college votes) remain red.

I’m afraid that that information has had to be [redacted]. Choose another path.

Asking for bribes, no doubt …

Oh, they’re being cute with this. You need to pay money to get what reddit is calling “gold” (formerly known as coins), which you can use to give awards with. But one of the old awards you still can’t give is the old-style reddit “gold” (premium). So they want ever more money without even giving the minor account boost you used to get, just for some skin for a comment. Fuck those guys.

Possibly true, but we can’t ignore the same possibility with Biden’s “Uncommitted” voters.

Clever human!

Got a source for this that wasn’t created a mere 76 days ago, just in time for the election season?

.Israel said it was carrying out “a precise counterterrorism operation to eliminate Hamas terrorists and infrastructure” in the area.

A precise operation meaning that you’re just going to level the entire place and everyone in it? “Kill them all and let God sort them out”? Fuck your genocide.

For years, the site had a standing policy that prevented the use of generative AI in writing or rewording any questions or answers posted. Moderators were allowed and encouraged to use AI-detection software when reviewing posts. Beginning last week, however, the company began a rapid about-face in its public policy towards AI.

I listened to an episode of The Daily on AI, and the stuff they fed into to engines included the entire Internet. They literally ran out of things to feed it. That’s why YouTube created their auto-generated subtitles - literally, so that they would have more material to feed into their LLMs. I fully expect reddit to be bought out/merged within the next six months or so. They are desperate for more material to feed the machine. Everything is going to end up going to an LLM somewhere.

A. It was a recall election (though still good).

B. Was this district affected by redistricting?

Some of the states are very logical. For example, both Florida and Texas have deliberately and determinedly become red state hellholes because they want to drive out liberals and attract conservatives - because by doing that, they ensure that they retain all of Florida and Texas’ electoral college votes.

Ah, one of the things that rural areas bitch about most, all the young people leaving the region …

Just to put the timeline straight: Marchan issued the gag order, trump retweeted 10 things that might have violated it, Marchan said that was wrong, trump said he hadn’t violated it, Marchan scheduled a hearing. Before the hearing occurred, trump again retweeted ?3? things that might have violated it. Marchan holds the hearing, finds trump in contempt on 9 of the 10 items - it’s at this point that trump’s retweets are established as mostly violating the gag order.

Today’s hearing was in regard to the ?3? retweets made prior to the first hearing. He’s getting a fine today because the [comical] argument would’ve been made that, at the time of those, ?3? retweets (before the first hearing), he still believed his actions weren’t in contempt.

I’m not sure if he’s done anything since that first hearing that might violate the gag order, but that’s when the clock started ticking. And, unfortunately, it only started ticking for those kind of violations. He might decide to try smirking finger-guns next, and argue that he was only just enthusiastically greeting an old friend :/

Why do you think DeSantis and Abbott have spent so much effort making their states red hellholes? They’re trying to drive out anyone with current liberal leanings, attract more Republicans to their states, and repel potential Democrats from moving in, all in a very determined effort to buy more time for those critical electoral college votes.

“[The Jefferson County Republican Party] have lost money in this. This was meant to be a fundraiser, but now we’ve lost thousands of dollars.”

Oh, no! … Anyway!

I have faith that the Russians or Saudis or some rich rwnj will buy shares in order to bribe trump.

“What does she bring?” Jennings said of Noem. “The possibility of weirdo drama. That’s it. She appeals to no constituency Trump doesn’t already have.”

I love the oblivious self-burn in that comment, that trump brings in enough ‘weirdo drama’ himself.

Noem’s advisers confessed they were taken aback that [Cricket’s murder] garnered such intense backlash. “I didn’t think that was going to be the headline,” a person close to Noem who had read the book told POLITICO.

What the hell else is in that book?!

Per Trump, “great legal experts,” including Sean Hannity and Mark Levin, believed there was no case.

Today I was absolutely shocked to learn that Sean Hannity and Mark Levin are great legal experts.

And [the hush money jury] is in about a 95 percent Democrat area,

Pro tip: if you don’t want to be tried by a jury from a mostly-Democratic area, don’t commit crimes in New York City.
