Modern day Patrick Bateman?

When did I say you don’t read the news much?

Ethnic cleansing could turbocharge ethnic cleansing? I mean, I guess, but that’s a really weird way to put it.

No idea. That’s the problem. ICE isn’t bothering to determine if the people it deports have proper documentation or not. The plethora of incorrectly arrested and/or deported people we DO know about, we only know because journalists and citizens did the investigating. Which is why ICE is working harder and harder to hide any details about what they’re doing and who they’re arresting.

The Supreme Court is about to let use religion to intentionally ruin public education.

By Thursday afternoon, the attorneys were taken off the case while a transportation department spokesperson speculated they published the document as an act of sabatoge.

Props, if true. But this is the Trump administration, sabotage is absoutely not a requisite for incompetence.

There’s the guy who urges the captain to increase the ship’s speed, so they can arrive a day early and impress everyone that the “unsinkable” ship is also super fast. And then sneaks his way onto a lifeboat at the end, when they’re only supposed to be taking women and children. Arguably a parallel to Musk in that he’s partly responsible for the sinking of the ship.

Much more prominent is Rose’s (Kate Winslet) rich scumbag fiance who refers to Jack (Leo DiCaprio) as a “gutter rat”, responds to “half the people on this ship are going to die” with “not the better half”, tries to bribe with cash one of the men loading boats in order to secure himself a slot, and ultimately manages to get on a boat by picking up a random crying child and claiming it as his own. Much more like Musk himself, but not really a parallel in having resposibility for the ship sinking.

He can definitely ignore it, though.

So, The Intercept knows when Trump will die? Cause that’s the only way he’ll be leaving office.

And here I’d assumed he’d cath’d himself.

The rage machine requires fuel.

And how many of your network infrastructure experts, whose job it is to prevent this kinda thing, did you fire, Elon?

I’ve been seeing this headline all week, and didn’t think much of it, since I basically never buy from Amazon. But I’d forgotten they own Twitch. And boy, do I use a lot of Twitch. Unfortunately, in the way of money, it’s pretty much all subscriptions that are already paid for. None of those are coming up for renewal next week, that I could cancel. I could definitely just not watch anything next week, but the union that organized this says they’re looking for drops in sales. Not watching would only contribute to that if I would have been served ads. I’m wondering if I should instead try spread the word of the boycott, in the streams I watch.

I dunno, what do y’all think?

Collusion among all the big players in an industry, in order to exclude other players from succeeding in that industry is indeed anti-competitive, and potentially illegal. There’s potential merit here in businesses coordinating with each other on who to blacklist withing the industry, which is why lawyers were willing to take on the case.

Ultimately, it’s a question for a judge whether they’re doing this for the purpose of suppressing competition, somehow, or whether they’re doing it for valid business reasons (like, say, avoiding a company with a history of not paying its bills, or avoiding a company with a history of sabotaging business relationships, or avoiding a company that their own customers actively hate, and would lose them business).

Of course, with the courts the way they are these days, I’m not holding my breath for the obviously-sensible ruling.
