Ageeed I’ll never do it again.

I really don’t understand the hype about AI in it’s current state.

This is probably just theater. Iran can’t look weak but they really don’t want to pike the bear.

Kind of has a Willy Wonka “no, don’t, stop” vibe

I definitely agree about the vibe being different in the mid 90s to the early 00s. Lots of passion and energy about the tech. I don’t think it’s all gone but it’s definitely nowhere near as intense.

Very few people can recognize that level of dissonance. They have twisted stuff in their minds so long it’s impossible to see it.

I have so many questions.

This guy is s total fake. The corn pome accent and the conservative outrage. He was a Democrat until it was obvious he’d never win in Louisiana so he switched.

This is way too accurate.

mereo@lemmy.ca is correct. We’ll never fix anything in the US. I used to be hopefulbut there’s just now ay as long as people buy into the BS conservatives sell.

Agreed. M is definitely the sweet spot for tech right now.

I’ve never heard of pigeon management but I have heard something similar described as playing chess with a pigeon as someone who “knocks all the pieces over, shits on the board then struts aroind like they’ve won”.

I’m sure Ben Shapiro will work wokeness into it somehow.

Didn’t W divest a bunch of stuff and setup a bloks trust for the same reason. And if I’m remembering correctly didn’t the peanut farm had been Carter’s family for a while so he gave up something that meant something more than money.

I’m pretty sure most of his properties are extremely leveraged.

I think the reason it was such an issue with Trump is I can’t think of another president that had the infrastructure (i.e. his hotels) to make revenue via emoluments.

He’s got to be fuming. He’s managed to go 75 years without ever being held accountable by anyone for anything. And now it’s happening. He’ll drain the RNC by August.

The fact that no bond companies would accept real property as a collateral for the bond and only liquid or easily liquified assets points to the properties being leveraged to the hilt. If he ends up having to pay even a portion of this and has to start selling properties we should see a true picture of his financial status.

It’s a shame because Twitter is a perfect platform for the kind of one-way communications required by a news agency or local government agency. Maybe Mastodon or Bluesky will fill that void.
