Betteridge’s Law strikes again.

• Republicans get elected by promising to do expensive fascism
• Republicans do the fascism part so hard even libs are repulsed
• Republicans lose the midterms and Democrats take at least the House
• Republicans stiff the new recruit ICE agents ()
• Republicans blame the Democrats in Congress
• Democrats decide to refute this calumny by centering their 2028 Presidential run on paying out ICE agent bonuses
• Democrats unanimously pass major funding increases for ICE and give them all free healthcare for life
• Democrats get waxed in the election
• The Cycle begins anew

If the EU would grow a backbone, they could really fuck shit up for Silicon Valley in general. Cory Doctorow’s proposal about removing DMCA-like anti-circumvention laws and letting the rest of the world design and distribute jailbreaks for all digital devices would be a great start. Prosecuting these ghouls for their many, many crimes would also be fantastic. I’m not holding my breath, but even this kind of legal harassment of is excellent.

I mean, it is if they all show up and march.

It at least seems like the usual weirdos are taking it seriously.

Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth isn’t terrible, but it spends a good chunk of time emphasizing how taking climate change seriously would be good for capitalism.

Ed Zitron continues to win

At least Google Glass was very obtrusive had a big, obvious light that came on when the camera was active

Definitely not even close to solving the problem, but I think it is important to recognize that this is a victory.

They also just announced that they’re closing a bunch of their studios and cancelling like six games because everything they do is crazy bloated and unsustainable (sorry, I mean AAAA). Their stock price fell like 35% this week, which is indeed because of the alphabet people, but the letters are M, B, A, C, E, and O.

Regression-to-the-mean machine regresses to the mean

Harry Potter race science.

I’ve been saying since last year that all the publicly stated reasons for the Greenland stuff were smokescreens for climate change related reasons. They can’t talk about it out loud because they have to keep claiming climate change is a seeseepee hoax (and Trump himself may not even be aware that this is a consideration), but the people who are really making the decisions here know the score.

To be fair, the Democrats did use the DOJ against Trump for inciting an insurrection in 2020.

Did they though?

Tesla can crash and burn

Can and do!

How do we not have a emote?

A second Bay of Pigs has hit the country

If you are funding violence against our law enforcement officers, I’m not a prosecutor, my guess is that’s not the sort of thing that earns capital punishment. But it should sure as hell earn you a few years in prison.

Positioning himself as the moderate choice

Yes, we are part of “the world.”
