I have to say, "Does someone refuse to call what Musk did as a Nazi salute when he did it deliberately, in front of hundreds, twice, and we have video" has become a pretty good litmus test for "Can I ignore this person's

It sounds like the person in question, the head of the presidential guard(?), had previously claimed that he only learned about Yoon's martial law declaration when it was proclaimed on TV. But if he was asking ChatGPT about it even be

If Biden's Secretary of Commerce did this, they would've got sacked and it would be plastered over the news for weeks. Democrats should stop pretending that rules and decorum still matter. You can't claim democracy is at da

You have more faith in them than I do. I wouldn't be surprised if the 2A crowd rise up, in a year or two, to defend America's Lord and Savior Trump from leftist thugs.

Trump is threatening their country, and since Canadians cannot vote in the US, there's only one effective way they can drain Trump's power, which is economic warfare. Economic downturn is well correlated with incumbents losing an

Maybe it's because I'm not familiar with such style, but I don't like how the code hides operational details. That is, if `books` contains one billion books, and the final result should contain about a hundred authors, how m

That sounds like sanewashing Trump. Just consider this: if Greenland has a such a strategic importance to the US, all the US had to do is to ask Denmark nicely to house a dozen more US military bases there, and Denmark (pre-Trump) would&#x

If this looks like the "exact same thing" Elon Musk did, have your eyes checked. Seriously. I literally clicked the link, spent 5 seconds, and it's a totally different gesture...?

They don't, but at least they learned not to publicly insult fellow citizens, never mind allied leaders.

There have been some South Koreans arguing for developing nukes, and until about two months ago, I was staunchly in the camp of "What a bunch of airheads, what purpose would nukes serve in our situation, when we already have our nuclea

Great, making sure that the US government will be on the hook for exorbitant rents, even long after Trump is gone. The party of "government can't do anything right, because I'll make it so" strikes again.

If your more powerful neighbor's ruler publicly threatens to annex your country, the correct course of action is to prepare for war. If anything, Trudeau is not being dramatic enough yet.

In 2023, China's export to Canada was 45.1 billion dollars. China's export to the US was 501 billion dollars. So why is the US propping up China's authoritarian dictatorship? Is this "Only the US gets to prop up dictato

Back in 2016, "I will miss Pence as one of the few adults in the room" was definitely not in my bingo card. What a timeline we're in.

I don't think cratering the economy actually helps Trump, Musk, or their billionaire friends. Billionaires need a functioning economy to continuously make money. Economic implosion might bring a period of horrible instability after w

That's neither here nor there. Trump and Musk are dismantling the American government piece by piece, and I'm not terribly interested in discussing whether billionaires were the problem all along. That feels like a totally unnec

This isn't caused by some nebulous alliance of "billionaires," this is caused by one particular billionaire, Elon Musk, and his friends. These days I'm getting skeptical of these anti-billionaire quips. Sounds like a gr

Well that's a bit of conceptual selection bias, isn't it? Good for their mental health, but you cannot regret something if you don't know what you're missing. There must have been 1930s Europeans who checked out of all

Keeping high-paying semiconductor jobs out of red states would keep the red states poor, devoid of liberal-leaning professionals, and full of resentment. Sound like a win-win to Trump.

Mostly off topic, but... I was surprised to see two listed in South Korea, and at least the one in Seoul (Gimpo Airport) seems outdated - the map links to a photo that looks at least 50 years old. (I found some Korean articles about a shri

The sudden cut on NIH funding is intended to maximize fear and chaos, and since this is NIH, the impact will be most felt in cutting-edge medical research. And I think that's precisely the point: Trump is in a rampage to destroy Ameri
