They’ve moved up to ‘flays’ in the headlines now! How long until we get to ‘defenestrates’ or ‘degloves’?
Some future anthropologist or historian is going to study the increasing violence in news headlines leading up to… whatever it is we’re headed for.
But his approval ratings are in the shitter. This is the best he can do. Nevermind Epstein, healthcare, foreign oil wars, rampant authoritarianism and all that. Weed is popular. Maybe this will keep them happy.
Funding
Main financing has come from Goldman Sachs and venture capitalists such as Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen’s Vulcan Inc., Rockefeller’s Venrock, and Richard Kramlich’s New Enterprise Associates. The Government of Russia, through the joint-stock company Rusnano, invested in Tri Alpha Energy in October 2012, and Anatoly Chubais, Rusnano CEO, became a board member. Other investors include the Wellcome Trust and the Kuwait Investment Authority. As of July 2017 the company reported that it had raised more than $500 million in backing. As of 2020, it had raised over $600 million,which rose to around $880 million in 2021 and $1.2 billion as of 2022.
That might be a clue.
I think the people around Trump were feeding him false info…
I don’t think Stephen Miller technically counts as a person. Unless a pencil-necked manifestation of pure insecurity is considered a person.
At least Starbucks will have something I can’t get for practically free at home.
Raskin is being sarcastic. Don’t take the quoted bit to mean he really supports that decision.
The judge should toss the case just on the absurdity of the amount of money he’s asking for.
It’s the essence of tribalism. Before genes it was blood. People were (are) judged by their names, style of dress, language, pallor, etc.
Humans evolved to survive in small groups and identifying those in and out of the group was important. Now, we struggle to overcome those instincts.
It’s really about control and power. Get as many people as possible to identify with your in-group by othering an out-group. Racism is one way. Anti-immigration broadens the out-group and in-group pools and can even lure in minorities into your in-group.
With enough in-group support you can consolidate power and do whatever the fuck you want. It never works for long but these people are cowards and cowards don’t think about the long-term.
Time Machine backups to the NAS.
Though, really important stuff should be backed up off-site.
Funny, I don’t feel the pity. shrugs
“I will submit to you that the Second US Civil War has already started. They’re just using surrogates,” the Republican lawmaker said. The Indiana state senator added, “I submit to you that that’s accurate.”
Guy sure likes to submit to whoever’s listening.
Just so everyone knows, this juvenile who was supposed to be tried as an adult, choked his girl friend to unconsciousness multiple times and raped her.
Why are people downvoting this story? This is news that needs to be seen.
EDIT: Hey, mods(@gedaliyah@lemmy.world), there’s some serious brigading going on
I assume this is all anti-ai pushback.
Well, yeah, but it’s also crap visually probably because it is AI. The pacing, the creepy textures and unnatural movement and physics put the whole thing in the uncanny valley.
It’s exhausting. That’s part of their strategy.
Yeah, it’s a shit argument bordering on sealioning.
Doctors are not scientists.
I was with you until this. Doctors are scientists. That doesn’t mean all of them are good scientists. Some, like Vinay Prasad, are bad scientists and bad doctors—he’s more podcaster and political hack than doctor.
Most medical research is done by MDs. Even doctors that are purely clinicians have extensive scientific training. It’s absurd to say, “doctors are not scientists.”
The connection to Russia adds to the suspicion.
