Now you imagine that the rich man undermined democracy and the rule of law, monopolized industries, and charged everyone 5 tokens a year for basic necessities.

I don’t think it’s everyone else who has a child’s understanding of economics.

Las Vegas in general is a testament to the hubris of humanity and an admittedly impressive technical feat. Does it even exist without the Hoover Dam?

There’s a black and white photo of her as a whole adult at JFK’s inaugural ball. Maybe she should sit this one out. If her brain isn’t decaying due to age, it definitely is from spending her whole life in politics. (Her dad was mayor of Baltimore so “whole life” isn’t even hyperbole.)

I think everyone has sufficient evidence to arrest Clarence Thomas. I’m not even a lawyer and I think I could get a conviction on tax fraud for the tour bus loan that got forgiven.

JD Vance is a terrible person but it would be funny to see Marco Rubio change his address just to not get picked.

I’m glad I’ll be dead before I have to think about dates and times that hard. I’ll never forgive that one island that moved the international dateline or the parts of the United States that don’t follow daylight savings.

As a software engineer, I would like to add that we are done dealing with time and dates and Martians and Moonfolk better pick UTC and shut up or they aren’t touching the database.

I have a sneaking suspicion that a $4,000 faceputer wasn’t designed to sell. It was designed to have patents on the tech so when militaries buy zillions of some future product, Apple gets a slice.

Depending on how much you know already, the Crash Course Computer Science videos are an excellent place to start. It’s obviously an intro course but, like most Crash Course stuff, it does a good job of explaining the basics and also giving a bit of context and history.

I thought this article would have a substantive critique but it doesn’t. Quilette is absolutely not a reliable source. If you’re mad Wikipedia doesn’t trust a magazine that puts a faux intellectual veneer on early 1900’s race science, that’s a you problem, my good bitch, not Wikipedia’s. And the Daily Mail is so unreliable, I don’t trust it for rumors about soccer transfers and which celebrities are frenching in Ibiza. It’s a tabloid, not a reliable source.

For the record, Wikipedia doesn’t have an agenda against right wing sources. There’s plenty on their reliable sources list. They have an agenda against tabloids, quackery, and pseudoscience.

I would say a “recommendation” is an ad when an accountant is involved instead of (or in addition to) a curator. Even if it’s Microsoft recommending Microsoft’s products, department budgets probably track that internally (though I’m sure the official accounting is done in a way that shifts profits to a tax haven).

Gender affirming surgeries are given to cis minors all the time. We just call it plastic surgery.
