I have learned over the past decade to ignore any articles like this. If you believed the press, the Muller Report was going to be a smoking gun, destined to reshape the political landscape for a generation and there was nothing Trump could

Project 2025 wasn’t even his. That’s his evangelical base’s run book. Trump is too lazy to actually want to do anything so ambitious. This time around he ceeded power to those who have that ambition, mostly to keep himself out of prison. Sa

What he is doing now was telegraphed, certainly. However, he is at his core a salesman (conman if you wish) and he has said so many other things that he never intended or even had the capability to do. For example, lock her up. Did he even

Their ideology is power. The writing has been on the wall demographically for decades. Their base has been shrinking, fewer people are religious, white folk are losing status. It’s become harder and harder to win an election for turn since

If you regularly test your backups, glacier gets a lot more expensive due to egress fees And it’s such a good thing to remind people of. You don’t manage a backup service. Nobody cares about backups. People care about restores.

Yes I think EVs don’t make sense for most people who rent. Unfortunately that’s a large segment of people. My residential rate is $0.11 per kWh and $0.56 at an electrify America charger. That’s a steep hike for those who can’t install a cha

Are you saying Musk paid $44B for Twitter out of spite over a D-list comedy website? Of all the articles and podcasts I followed around that acquisition, this is the first time I have ever heard it tied to the Babylon bee. Do you have a sou

And the obvious question that another poster has raised is why are all the COVID era loans being forgiven then? Shouldn’t all loans be collected? Could it be that many in DC benefited from that free money, and are also benefitting from the

I have a hard time believing this when they also have Apple Cash and Apple Pay. Even with their strong privacy fundamentals they know more about their account holders than any single business should.

If your CS section is anything like the “computers” aisles I see here, good riddance. I would rather see open space than shelves of outdated Dummies books. We need to bring back “third places” (not home, not work/school) and libraries
