  • Watching a president with nuclear authority pick fights by text the way an internet troll argues online produces a special kind of exhaustion.

    I’m eager to see FINALLY media outlets addressing this plainly and clearly. This man is last person in the nuclear chain of command with launch authority. Donald Trump is literally insane and being propped up by a viciously idiotic authoritarian movement installed to take advantage of it. To say it’s dangerous is a cosmic understatement.

    For the past 60 years or so, humanity has had a loaded nuclear shotgun to its head and now a senile wild-eyed narcissist has his finger near the trigger. Of all the horrors we have not yet seen from Trumpism, this is the one I fear the most.

  • I’m pretty sure we’re not seeing any white supremacist hate groups in these cities because they all just joined ICE.

  • At this point, I think we shouldn’t even have a president.

  • Fucking amateur hour dude… these are supposed to be UNITED STATES FEDERAL AGENTS. I can’t believe the eponymous Gravy Seals are now a standard for federal employment.

    Are we great again yet?

  • “Flaps will just slow us down and add waste, so I had them removed. Also, don’t the Jews use flaps on their airplanes? Hmm, interesting. Also, I’ve replaced this aircraft’s navigation system with Starlink, you’re welcome.”

    “Some people are saying that we’re out of fuel, there are some people on this plane who are very stupid and some I assume are smart people but it’s not true anyways, our tanks are full, filled to the brim and you know what? You’re a very nasty person for asking about the hose coming out of the fuel tank, okay? Some would say we have too much fuel, and it makes the plane heavy, you see? We have so, so much fuel. We have the best fuel, better than any fuel that anyone has ever seen and it’s of the highest quality okay? No one has more fuel than us and we’re going places with that fuel. We’re gonna go to every airport in this great nation. I love our nation’s beautiful airports and we’re gonna get to see all of them with the lovely amazing fuel that we have so much of and it’s so well guarded, our guards will always make sure no one can steal the fuel, not even me! Although if I wanted to I totally could but no one else is taking this fuel see? We have the best fuel and the best people guarding it.”

  • Everything seems to eventually link back to class war.

  • Fantastic alternative insight, thank you.

  • We went from mass surveillance to hardware confiscation real quick.

    These companies are so large that they don’t need the consumer market anymore. The consumer is now the competition. They can essentially purchase the entire planet’s output of computing hardware years in advance to force us out of the market and lease it back to us at inflated rates. Then, they turn all that tensor compute against us to make everyone’s life a living digital surveillance hell.

    Forget Internet freedom, computational liberty is now at risk. Who needs all that expensive legal and technological architecture to steal your data, report on you to the government, and enforce DRM when they control bare metal access to your rented corporate cloud hardware because consumer PC equipment is too astronomically expensive to afford for the average person?

    We need to elevate the prosecution of anti-trust to the level of religious inquisition, and burn these companies at the stake. They’re using AI to literally enslave humanity, and it’s working.

  • That’s a great example, and it probably falls under retaliation protections which I would not expect the US government to uphold at this time. So, anyone trying to access this website should definitely use TOR.

    However, the fact that a Russian state actor is successfully attempting to limit access is pretty telling that they and the Trump administration don’t want this information leaked. My guess is that they know this information not only exists, but is dangerous to their interests.

  • Well, it’s inaccessible because Russian state-sponsored hacking collective is DDoSing the leaker’s website. Why would someone go through the risky process of leaking sensitive federal data that doesn’t actually exist?

    I suppose it could be to spook ICE into withdrawal, but I don’t think that’s going to stop them given the tenacity of their extremely broad mandate and excessive deployments.

    Or, it could be to goad Russian state actors into a honeypot to uncover their state affiliations, but they are generally insulated from that as a matter of Russian operating procedure.

    I don’t see a possible benefit to faking this list. Could you provide an example?

  • I’m no expert, but I can think of a few reasons: maintaining an official signed source, data integrity, and complying with takedown regulations:

    Your Responsibilities as a Whistleblower

    Media and Public Disclosure

    Public disclosure receives the least protection under most laws and carries the highest risk. It may be protected in limited circumstances, such as when:

    • You reasonably believe disclosure serves the public interest
    • You’ve attempted other channels without success
    • There’s immediate danger requiring public warning

    Even then, protection is uncertain and depends heavily on specific circumstances and applicable laws.

    High risk along with public identification means the leaker probably wants to comply as much as possible to state and federal law. From the article:

    Skinner said he planned to publish “the majority” of verifiable names, while carving out exceptions for positions like childcare workers and nurses

  • That’s just how Donald Trump’s face is.

  • The fact that the president flipped off a constituent during a press event is pretty unprecedented. I don’t think it’s been done in a hundred years, if ever. The man is not well, and neither is his party.

  • People call me paranoid, but after my dad’s MS Surface spontaneously encrypted itself and lost the recovery keys, my belief is that what you described is the goal they are working towards.

    Apple already does all of this along with client side scanning and MS is falling over itself to implement the same ecosystem.

  • At first I thought this meant that playing the board game “Guess Who” is lonely and pathetic and I was like “aww, I like that game” :(

  • And you are a closed minded fool too blinded by your impotent rage to even participate in a real conversation, or to see another point of view that may help even when it’s laid out in front of you. All you have are insults, because you’re all out of ideas other than to scream the word ”pedo” at everything and everyone you don’t like.

    It’s not working, you said it yourself: “no one cares.” Why do you think that is? Try something else. ICE is murdering citizens in the street. The US is about to invade a NATO ally. Trump just used the military to steal Venezuela’s oil for himself. The federal government is operating concentration camps. You’re focused on the wrong thing, and it’s by design.

    But hey, at least that sense of righteous indignation about how you “saved the children” will keep you warm and fuzzy while nuclear winter sets in.

  • Why does everyone like giant, awkwardly shaped, gawdy, hand wash only in lukewarm water, non-microwave, non-dishwasher safe mugs that start peeling after 3 months? Is your talking pikachu mug with a speaker and light up tail really worth all that effort when it winds up in the back of the top shelf of the cupboard and you go back to white ceramic after 3 weeks? How many Looney Tunes mugs from Six Flags can one person reasonably store in their home before exceeding the legal limit for dissolved lead concentration?

    Why would we invent a machine that cleans the dishes just to invent dishes that the machine cannot clean? What are we DOING with our LIVES??

  • An invasion of Greenland, which is an overseas territory of Denmark, could trigger a NATO response under Article 5 of the organization's charter.

    Welp, time to start digging a bomb shelter. In this mad dash to return to the pre-WWII era of imperialism, it feels like our leaders don’t remember that right after that there was a really nasty world war.
