  1. France, Finland, and Poland wanting to settle some historical grievances,
  2. There's telepathy among certain age groups. It's like those of us 80s kids all knew that "NASA" means "Needs Another Seven Astronauts" even though we all lived in different parts of the country, and there was no internet or other means of mass communication (and BBSes weren't quite big enough yet). Or we know what brand shampoo Challenger 7 used, etc.
  3. Trump whines about tech companies being prejudiced against him, but fucking Microsoft Co-Pilot does everything it can to discourage you from creating something even remotely resembling him, starting making all orange-haired men have large beards, even when you add "clean shaven" or "without a beard" or "no beard" into the description. If you mention Trump by name, it threatens an account suspension.
  4. This was supposed to be here, posted in the other thread by mistake https://www.kxan.com/news/local/austin/austin-photojournalist-facing-two-misdemeanor-charges-after-ut-protest/ Full statement from DPS
  5. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/05/supreme-court-lets-texas-keep-enforcing-age-verification-law-for-porn-sites/ Supreme Court decides not to block Texas law that age-gates porn websites. Court denies application for a stay but could still hear challenge to the law. --- Most of us will just use VPNs, but damn, a lot of Texans gonna hand over their personally identifying information (including driver's license info) to various companies, all the while not realizing that it will ultimately be hacked and sold off (if not sold off first).
  6. He actually seems happy and comfortable now. He's another Aaron Schock - shitty in Congress, now maybe being his real self.
  7. Yep, this all feels like Abbott is doing everything possible to fuck up UT and bring in the Charlie Kirks and Ben Shapiros and Jordan Petersons.
  8. Oh good, Twitter is back to trying to force me to load the client to view tweets when I'm on the twitter website.
  9. Not only admitted, but doubled down using her public social media accounts, and in the book said she was angry at the 14-month old dog. I've actually heard that there were witnesses, that it was known within GOP circles, and that she was scared it was going to be leaked to tank her chances at VP, so she tried to get ahead of the story by publishing that, but holy shit she fucked up so bad.
  10. https://www.kxan.com/news/local/austin/austin-photojournalist-facing-two-misdemeanor-charges-after-ut-protest/ Full statement from DPS
  11. https://www.kxan.com/news/over-600-ut-austin-faculty-sign-letter-of-no-confidence-in-president-hartzell/ Their demands: Criminal charges be dropped against students and others Students not face disciplinary action at UT for the protest The university respects the First Amendment free speech rights of students and faculty
  12. Because the GOP was a communist plot all along, apparently, given how many of their leaders and members of Congress openly embrace Putin.
  13. Bush is preferable to those of us who like grown-ass women... But it's all over the place, there's been years where one is more popular than the other, and you can see this with porno videos. Years back, I worked with a friend producing amateur pornos. He or I would hang out at gyms, make up some story about how we were an engineer or dermatologist or chef or whatever, and tell dudes at the gym that we would like to watch them have sex with women in front of us, and we'd pay them to meet up at a rental house that we pretended was ours. We were paying women as well, telling them that we would like to watch them have sex with guys we met at the gym. After we got both to the house, whoever had recruited the two people would pretend that we were getting off just watching them have sex, all the while the whole place was rigged with cameras. If any of those guys or gals ever realized how much money we were making selling videos of them, or that they probably should have checked themselves for STDs afterward, or that we were filming them in the first place, they would have been pissed off. We didn't even make them sign releases, so in theory they could have sued us, but we tended to pick up good-looking dumbasses and just hoped they never came across videos of themselves.
  14. Master class in trolling I think the liberation shit is stupid (Nobody in Israel is going to see or hear this stuff or care about it), but DPS getting trolled is always good.
  15. The Cybertruck is 100% on him. Although I'm sure in his head, he's convinced himself that it wasn't his idea and that he was manipulated by the design team. Or he still thinks it's a success.
  16. It’s easier to fundraise when you’re out of power, and easier for Fox News to get MAGA angry.
  17. Yeah, it’s really fucking weird, and I’m waiting for him to fire more workers in America and completely move production to Mexico. Maybe he thinks he can replace some of these people with younger/inexperienced recent graduates, but the institutional knowledge that is disappearing (and will be snapped up by other car companies) is staggering. Even if he replaces one senior person with 3-4 recent graduates, they will require a lot of time to get up and running and be competent in their jobs. We are talking years. With the design firings, given how little their design actually changes over the years and how few designs they have, they may have mapped out a couple of models that will take years to bring into production, and he’s guessing that by that time, any replacement employees will up to speed.
  18. Those of us who were 80s kids, a lot of our parents flipped out over the Adam Walsh murder, the Tylenol poisonings, and the rumored needles in Halloween candy. That shit happened a long ways away from a lot of us and should not have affected our parents. Plenty of parents all of the sudden got nervous about dumping their kids at the mall, or worse, they turned their Gen X kids into helicopter parents.
  19. Well in the summer of 1993 I wrote a BBS door in Pascal that was a directory for BBSes, a white pages or yellow pages if you will.
  20. If you like Beato, this guy is in that vein. He’s a session guitarist (and probably gets more into equipment than Beato does), and in the video below he talks about some of Glenn Campbell’s work (he was in Glenn’s band in his later years).
