Let’s see evidence of “the internet” solving extreme gerrymandering

it was particularly galling to see Moskowitz stand up and repeat Israeli propaganda without anyone calling him out on it.

When AIPAC is lining your pockets, getting you re-elected, you say what they tell you to say.

Thanks, Citizens United!

Well, Talib, looks like you’re gonna miss out on that awesome AIPAC money!

Saves you the time of washing the blood off your hands, so there’s that…

❤️ hope you feel better!

I’m gonna tell the owners
just how nice
that was of me

…or not!

It’s all good,
You just laughed it off,
It was all ok

It’s all good,
he just drove off,
life‘s OK

Good stuff, David Cross

Like most people, they really really really like money

It’s nice to be able to have a discussion where both people disagree politely.

Thanks for the pleasure!

It’s quite shocking at this point haw few people use ad blockers

Ew

I’ll take it!

You’re not wrong in your reasoning, I’m just more reserved in my speculation.

I guess we’ll just have to wait and see

Art imitates life

Because that shit was actually funny 35 to 40 years ago. It just didn’t age well.

Tastes change.

2031? Maybe. If the Ukraine war ends soon, it would give them a couple of years before they started up their bullshit. So, yeah, maybe. (Edit 2) I’d say it’s much more likely of Russia walks away with favorable terms, even less likely should Russia end up with an embarrassing loss…

But the stuff with AI it’s not some thing they could win with their military. Not even by taking over Taiwan (which I’m not convinced they can). Economic pressure that they can weild certainly would be more likely to help them achieve their goals. It just takes a lot longer.

Edit:

They don’t make clear threats empty.

Oh, yes they do. All the time. China is a lot more talk than they are action, and they always have been. That’s why I am skeptical about them invading Taiwan anytime soon.

All of China’s actions that you have described, I see as a dissipation of the united effort against Taiwan. Like I said, I’m not saying it won’t happen, I’m just saying it won’t happen really soon. China actually gives a huge shit about their international reputation. And they don’t want to that damaged fighting a war they can’t win. They will wait to move on Taiwan until they can be reasonably assured of a victory. And that won’t happen anytime soon.

China is also quite adept at fighting economic wars (like the US), and that’s what they’re going to do with AI. Just with money and sanctions and diplomatic bullshittery.

I also have seven monies. What do I win?
