They must be desperate since they’re rolling out the McRob nationwide in a few days. NGL it’s tempting…

Bread and circuses, at least the clowns are still around.

The morality police in the UK strike again. They’re slowly turning into Saudi Arabia the longer they keep this up.

We used to have vehicles that didn’t need over the air updates for over a century. If they had a problem then a technician could simply perform an onsite diagnostic. Why the hell are we keeping them in a network like they’re computers or no longer supported IoT dongles?

Manzo Rodríguez, who some nicknamed “the Mexican Bukele” in reference to the tough security policies of El Salvador’s president, Nayib Bukele, took office as mayor of Uruapan after winning that year’s midterm elections with an independent movement.

It’s hard not to have mixed feelings about this particular political assassination. There are hundreds more that seem way more tragic than this one.

This part of The Book of Mormon musical basically says it all about their racism and flip flopping of rules:

And I believe that in 1978 God changed his mind about black people!!

CHORUS Black People!!

When the Roman empire fell, it didn’t happen overnight. It took years of slow decay for it to really become apparent. One of the biggest signs was when bridges fell and no one came to have them restored. Much of the US’ infrastructure is slowly rusting away before our eyes but the lack of ATC’s is a much faster indicator of how little the empire cares for its core.

… Nothing, they’re just declaring it illegal. Enforcement is only for the poor in the US now, the mask has just gone completely off.

I tried so hard to convince some of my fellow Mexicans the repercussions of voting for Trump, I even passed them a copy of the Project 2025 playbook. They still voted for him and are dumbfounded that ICE is dragging them away. Fuck 'em is all I can say.

Can’t the rest of the world just start boycotting trade with the US already? BRICS is a fine start but it needs to speed up and stop giving them any more support if they’re turning from the world’s police to its bully.

The very article linked to this post talks about civilizational collapse of the US similar to the Roman republic.

Turchin doesn’t track gold but he does track political and societal instability. He believes America has entered what he calls a “revolutionary situation,” where long-running systemic stress can no longer be contained. “It’s not a prophecy,” he said. “It’s modeling feedback loops that repeat with alarming regularity.”

Gold is supposed to represent something finite that’s hard to dig out of the ground. It’s like the antithesis of fiat currency that way. i think of it like a hedge against the dollar like with some cryptos. Thatt said I only think US civilization would collapse while the rest of the world moves on or divvies up its corpse.

How so? ICE’s coffers won’t be restocked for as long as the shutdown continues.

This is sad. It’s the closest thing the US had to a kei car since the Scion xB. The last hope for something even remotely similar will be the Slate Truck with a bunch of mods, and even then it won’t have four side doors.

I’m patiently waiting for the bubble to burst and buy shares from the few surviving companies at a steep discount. It’s cool to hate AI as it is now but there’s more promise to it than what it’s currently being used for to the annoyance of everyday people.

A lot of people like to puff out their chest and say that. I still haven’t seen something like that happen in the news for all the times ICE has raided people’s homes throughout the country. It could be a matter of time but it’ll be exceedingly rare.

The “Japanese First” platform sounds an awful lot like the “Asia for Asians” slogan of pre WWII imperial Japan. It’s not a pretty thought but it’s hard to blame them when the US is looking less and less like an ally and trading partner on the world stage.

It’s probably more a sign of their discipline. Some of them might have even been tricked to react when they weren’t supposed to in boot camp. I only saw one guy a actuay clap at the end of the video.

Epstein files or no, this motherfucker is making it very easy to jail his critics so maybe consider giving this threat a little more weight.

It sounds like his own father turned him in.

Now that’s a horrible parent.
