Hat-tip to @Beau Vine: "We'll see what happens, but ultimately they [China] have to make a deal because otherwise they're not going to be able to deal in the United States, so we want them involved, but they have to, and other countries have to make a deal, and if they don't make a deal, we'll set the deal because we're the ones that set the deal, Scott [Bessent], and Howard [Lutnick], and myself and others," Trump said. "We're going to be setting the deal and it'll be a fair deal for everybody and I think it's a process that's going to go pretty quickly. We've spoken to many, many countries, and we're getting their views on things, you know, there are a lot of things. They have VAT taxes. They have everything you can have. Don't forget, as an example, the European Union was set up to take advantage of the United States. That's why it was set up, and they've done that, but they're not doing that anymore," Trump continued. ***** https://archive.is/WVKNS [article snippet] Hitler launched his trade war on the second Friday of his chancellorship. That evening, he appeared in the Berlin Sportpalast, the city’s largest venue, for a rally in front of thousands of jubilant followers. It was his first public appearance as chancellor, and it served as a victory lap. Hitler dispensed with the dark suit he wore in cabinet meetings in favor of his brown storm-trooper uniform with a bright-red swastika armband. In his address, Hitler declared that the entire country needed to be rebuilt after years of mismanagement by previous governments. He spoke of the “sheer madness” of international obligations imposed by the Treaty of Versailles, of the need to restore “life, liberty, and happiness” to the German people, of the need for “cleansing” the bureaucracy, public life, culture, the population, “every aspect of our life.” His tariff regime, he implied, would help restore the pride and honor of German self-reliance. “Never believe in help from abroad, never on help from outside our own nation, our own people,” Hitler said. “The future of the German people is to be found in our own selves.” Hitler did not refer specifically to the trade war he had launched that afternoon, just as he did not mention the rearmament plans he had discussed with his cabinet the previous day. “Billions of reichsmarks are needed for rearmament,” Hitler had told his ministers in that meeting. “The future of Germany depends solely and exclusively on the rebuilding of the army.” Hitler’s trade war with his neighbors would prove to be but a prelude to his shooting war with the world.

Dry line gave a good shove, and the big stuff is on its way later tonight (if it holds together).

Holy hell! That last episode was something else. My kingdom for all Stars Wars shit to be this fucking good.

I think the point is to show that the rebellion is still a disorganized mess of an unprofessional shit-show right now in the timeline.

Reed Timmer and crew are driving through Fort Stockton. Pretty good street flooding is going on, and hail is on the ground after the storm went through. They're heading toward a storm with a hook echo.

Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
bolverk replied to MaybeACoordinator's topic in Daily Texan
Shorthand explanation Groyper: White nationalists who like to pretend they're not racists by making racist "joke" memes; think Pepe the Frog. Sycophantic: ass-kisser; brown-noser. Tradwife ("traditional" wife): Racist white Gen-Z chicks (and some Millennial ones) who cosplay in feminine garb like 50s housewives and bake shit for clicks on TikTok. -
It looks like things are kicking off in Far West Texas, near Fort Stockton and northern Coahuila, just west of Del Rio.

bolverk replied to Derka's topic in Daily Texan
Can someone give me a summary of who's who and what's what? I don't have the patience to wade through the past week of arguments. Is there anything new to this story, or is everything still in the suburban rumormill stage? Who's the cast of characters involved now? Who's swatting the victim's family? Who's the "criminal Armstrong"? Has new evidence become public? Has this whole thing gone completely CR? -

Discussions of a nationwide protest started circulating on social media in late 2024. According to organizer Kay Evert, the movement started on Reddit, with activist organizations eventually joining in.[12] The movement claims it was organized by grassroots activists and spread through social media.[13] The movement used the hashtags "#buildtheresistance" and "#50501", with the latter standing for "50 protests, 50 states, one day".[14] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/50501_movement https://www.fiftyfifty.one/

Because that "inefficient" data segregation that keeps different bits of data about you in different agencies protects your privacy. The inefficiency is the fucking point. Say, for example, there's a data breach in one of them. Keeping other private details about you in other places prevents that other information from getting stolen, shared, or even easily abused by a single bad actor within the government itself. Siloeing data in different places protects your red ass in the same way you shouldn't use the same password for everything you do online. Do you really want the entire universe of data about you, your family, your bank accounts, your tax information, or even whether your fucking kid is getting special ed stored in a single place? Here's a taste of the kind of data about you that DOGE is trying to consolidate, making all of this shit very vulnerable (spoilered for length). Maybe taking a little care, spending a little more, or being a little inefficient is worth it when all of this is at stake.

I worked on a planning project for the OKC region around 2009-2010 and was impressed with everything that was going on back then. Bricktown and Devon Tower were both still pretty new, and I recall there were big gaps in the "urban fabric" around both of those. Strengthening the connections between them or enhancing the immediate areas around them was a big theme of the plan. Did any of those areas eventually get filled in? The filling-in part was something that seemed sorely needed for the city, since many of its major "anchors' are isolated from one another. This was especially noticeable coming from Austin, where all those major activity nodes are clustered in the urban core. For the benefit of Austin people, the way they're set up would be analogous to: The Capitol building would be located about where the old Concordia Campus used to be, but a little bit east of I-35. It's basically in a low-density, residential-type area. The Dell Medical Center would be in Austin's Chestnut neighborhood, a few blocks east of Oakwood Cemetery. And the University of Texas campus would be out by Niederwald. Don't get me wrong, though. I did, in fact, like OKC. It's just that all those things being spread out seemed to hold back the downtown area from being a vibrant urban core back then. To make this post relevant to the thread topic, I didn't visit the museum but did wander around the memorial for a while. It is very well done and should be seen by anyone visiting town.

Thanks! I had to run to the airport late this afternoon to pick someone up. It looks like they screwed up the data entry for Midland County in that column, although the totals add up to what they should be. Midland reported a third case yesterday.

I thought he was referring to the two brothers in Eastland County who’ve also been doling out the Christofascist cash to Texas pols.
