  • Trump administration working on plan to move 1 million Palestinians to Libya

  • I voted for Harris and I blame the democrats. They knew the stakes, they know the populist moment we're in, and they decided that their best strategy was to take all the excitement and buzz of the new Kamala candidacy and say "we're not going to really change anything; if things suck for you, no they don't, actually, you're just stupid lol; anyway, look, here's Katy Perry and Barack Obama lecturing down to a bunch of black men." The DNC twisted Kamala's arm to make sure she didn't insult Biden by saying she'd do anything different, because protecting the feefees of long standing and well regarded party members is more important than winning or getting shot done. The DNC decided to stack Kamala's campaign with the same staff that lost the HRC campaign. Nobody made them decide that celebrity guest appearances were more important than proposing actually good changes to get out the vote, but here we are.

  • Israel was still negotiating with Hamas for a ceasefire and release of hostages. A ceasefire deal was even reached.

    As I recall, Israel almost always said they would go to these, and then didn't, without even telling the Biden administration they were going to miss it. They'd just dead ass no show and leave the Biden team twisting in the wind. Then team Biden would say "well, okay, I guess we have no choice but to give them more bombs."

    Israel reduced but still allowed some foreign aid.

    My dude, the way I remember it, we had to build a float dock because Israel wouldn't allow any aid to come in by ground, and for the little bit they did, they murdered the people who tried to get it. Then, the float dock broke up, and we all just kind of shrugged.

  • Ehh. Is there a meaningful difference between "we'll help you do genocide and pretend to feel bad about it" and "we'll help you do genocide and build a casino on top of the bodies"? One feels worse, for sure, but the functional distinction is marginal.

  • Oh my God, yeah, that's a latin American thing. When I lived in Honduras, I knew the game was up when I was trying to stumblefuck my way through a conversation and somebody gave me the big grin and enthusiastic nod.

  • This is genocide. What's more is that even if Israel annexes all of Gaza and the West Bank, people are kidding themselves if they think they're going to stop there.

  • Let's be real, the Biden administration didn't achieve one single thing to slow things down. While they wagged a finger with one hand, they handed over billions of dollars of bombs with the other. They arranged peace talks that Israel super super promised they'd finally show up to this time and then didn't for the seventh consecutive time in a row, and the Biden administration went "okay" and handed them more bombs. Maybe Trump is objectively worse, but it's hard to imagine that a Harris presidency would be meaningfully better in this particular regard based on the actions, not the words, of the Biden administration.

    Edit: to be clear, I voted for Harris, because I still wanted to reduce harm, but I really was expecting the older, more powerful, more pro-genocide voices in the party to be steering the wheel here, not Harris.

  • I dunno, man, the maga people I know see the scam and they're 100% invested in it. The only one I know that has fallen out is an army guy who's a big constitution fan and sees where Trump is heading. He's still a Republican, but MAGA left him behind.

  • Never believe fascists are operating in good faith. That's why they're immune to pointing out hypocrisy; they just straight up don't fucking care because, yes, exactly, you should have rules and I shouldn't because that's what I want.

  • I'm in tech, and yeah, while we actually do have a couple helpful (nothing revolutionary, just smoothes over some of the drudge work) use cases for Gen AI, we identified those use cases pretty quick and leadership's been grasping for more ever since.

  • This kind of shit is part of how I square government-supplied mass transit with libertarian/anarchist views. Cars are the gateway to so much intrusive, authoritarian bullshit, it's actually nuts how people see them as tools of freedom.

  • It depends a lot on where you are. In the west? 50% of Amtrak stations are out in a suburb or a field or some bullshit like that. In the east, you're absolutely correct. We've basically spent 100 years dismantling, underfunding, and obstructing passenger rail to prioritize cars, and it, uh, shows.

  • It's probably going to take several fully loaded passenger jets or just two private jets colliding.

    Whacko conspiracy time: they're also working on cutting down Amtrak's staffing and cutting funding for rail transit. Gas is expensive af and driving is uncomfortable and slow (not that Amtrak is any faster). What if the plan here is to just make interstate travel so painful that people stop travelling? I doubt it, though, I think this is just extra strong vanilla incompetence. I can't imagine what the point of that would be, for starters.

  • Basically, he was all aboard with Eugenics, and he saw probably one of the most aggressive expansions in government power in US history while using WWI as an excuse. Stuff like shutting down newspapers that ran articles he didn't like; the news of the flu outbreak was pretty suppressed for a while because of the war IIRC. He also banned prostitution not because of any moral argument, but because soldiers were catching STDs at troop collection points and being kept from being deployed because of the STDs. So, 100 years later, it's still illegal because not using a condom kept a bunch of boys from being fed into the meat grinder.

    There's a bunch of other pretty wild shit that isn't coming to me at the moment, but Wilson fucking sucked and generally doesn't deserve any of the praise that people seem to offer him now.

  • Are you the kind of monotheist that thinks that Project2025's vision of state enforced Christianity is the right idea, or are you the kind that thinks it's exactly the wrong idea?
