Phil Spencer probably didn’t approved of this and got shitcanned.

Yes that’s the Eads Bridge.

Ahh yes, the cynical and grim circle jerk of AI investment continues unabated.

I hate this state media propaganda timeline.

What a bogan.

They did eventually, I think it took more than a year. It was ridiculous.

My park was close to my house and it was closed by ordinance, the other rich ones were not. There is no difference in the parks at all other than the property values in the neighborhoods in which they sat. I wasn’t going to go to city hall and complain since the mayor and council people were all from the rich neighborhoods. Rule of law is downwards in our class based society.

Not HOA but similar. I was living in a different city during covid. The city closed the outdoor parks in the poor and working class neighborhoods, the rich folk parks remained open.

They started to wrap the swings at the park around the top bar. I’d unwrap them each day and that went on for about two weeks. Then they went to zip tying the swings together so they couldn’t be used. So I would cut the zip ties each day. This went on for another few weeks. Then they brought a sign post and a sign saying the park was closed and using the swings was prohibited. I dug the sign post out and threw it in the woods. Then they chained the swings together with a pad lock so I went to harbor freight and bought very heavy duty bolt cutters and lopped the chain off. That daily chain lopping lasted a week or two then they just took the swings away. I debated about buying swings and attaching them but figured the gambit went on as long as it should have and called it. I had fun.

Meanwhile the whole time the kids in the rich neighborhoods could swing to their daily content.

WTF is a foot bulb?

There has been reporting about his planning for succession if he were to be assassinated. 🤷

It isn’t always a distraction. These are bad people doing bad things because they are bad.

The Overton Window is known to many but still most can’t see how it shapes acceptable politics. What’s left and right in the US is shifted so far right from most other democratic countries.

I deeply hate that this is the outlier exception to the rule of this dystopian nightmare of a country.

It should be the bare minimum.

For ghouls like Palantir, this is a feature not a bug.

The US has been saying this about Iran for at least twenty years despite Iran being a part of the UN’s watchdog agency, the International Atomic Energy Agency. The IAEA provides regular oversight of nuclear programs to ensure they are for peaceful programs. Iran has been working with nuclear material conducive with nuclear power generation, not the kind needed for nuclear missiles, and yet the US always waves the bogeyman argument.

For these ghouls, it is a bit reductive but it works as a general rule: manufacture and foment instability for oil. It is always oil with these freaks.

You still have to have the money to move, be healthy enough to be accepted by the new country, etc. For many many people there is no choice. None. Often those that need it most.

Not blaming anyone that has the agency to leave. But it is what it is.

Google literally holds all the cards and has what, only Europe to worry about in terms of regulatory backlash.

Gosh I hope the non-Android fork open source OSs get some money from phone makers because they will definitely have a market when it becomes truly viable.

Like most US folks, I wish I had job flexibility and the money to just up and emigrate. Alas most have no choice but to stay.

That streetcar line rocks.
