The first time the moderators countered his obvious dog-whistle lies I was absolutely blown away. You could have knocked me over with a feather. Then I started laughing and didn't stop.

The correction was really well done and completely natural by both moderators, I almost didn't register what happened. Love to see it.

That's a cool illustration of a great scene from The Dark Tower series! It's a good read if you're down for reading a finished series.

Aaah! I did and instantly regretted it. That's creepy AF.

This just in: Worst Vice Presidential pick in human history continues to back Russian-owned Holocaust-denying millionaire lackey. More at eleven.

I'm amazed. Basic IT training should be enough to know that Starlink systems at the very least would be advertising their location to a third party non-US megacorp.

Easy solution: nationalize Starlink. That keeps it out of the hands of a lunatic man-child, and sailors can get their sports scores! Talk about a win win situation.

Dunno about bike infrastructure in San Francisco as I've only been there a few times, but one variable you should mind is that South Lake Tahoe is snowy during a good chunk of the winter. Don't plan to move there and bike around unless you're comfortable biking in the snow.

It can be warm in Tahoe in the summer, but the snow is a certainty and cannot be avoided if you're living there. Tahoe is usually fairly mild, or it has been while I've been there. It's also way high up in elevation, which can cause respiratory problems for some until they acclimate.

Trump wants to deport or otherwise push "illegal" immigrants into internment/concentration camps. This is a cohort of individuals that typically don't buy homes anyway, and it will increase costs on building because the same cohort is frequently engaged in home building projects already. It will do nothing to bring home prices down for anyone aside from billionaires who will snap up the homes that are forcibly vacated by the few immigrants that managed to buy homes somehow.

So, it'd be a net negative for all parties involved. It's a terrible plan, conceived by terrible people.

Why's he got bulletproof glass around him? Did one of those crazy cat ladies that I keep hearing about throw their cats at him or something? /s obviously but that'd be funny as hell

Ain't it grand? Musk invented a shittier subway.

Well, sure! How are they going to sell you the $450 replacement ring in two years if you're able to replace the dead battery by paying $30 to a stoned college kid working at a fix-it kiosk in your local mall? Consumers, they never know what's good for them. /s

41 points as of right now, so I guess so? Though I wouldn't term them bonus points. It was more meant as a preemptory commiseration and to mock the cohort of bootlickers-of-billionaires that pop in from time to time.
