  1. Access """journalism""" is so caustic for actually finding facts and breaking news. It's just toadying up and being their mouthpiece
  2. If you're a fascist dictator, yes you can.
  3. Hope nobody is hit by the ConocoPhillips layoffs, 25% layoffs while paying out dividends and buying back shares is a real raw deal. Bartlesville is gonna be even more of a ghost town, Price tower with its weird triangle rooms may not have much longer for this world
  4. It makes Jesus cry when people consume cannabis, DUH!
  5. There's a legal paper trail over this from the last five years too https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/41984045/ex-clippers-staffer-sues-says-was-fired-kawhi-concerns (published Oct'24) And the clippers were playing games back in 2019 with uncle Dennis https://www.nbcsports.com/nba/news/report-raptors-complained-to-league-multiple-times-about-clippers-tampering-with-kawhi-leonard But seriously - how do you punish an org that has no draft picks to take away because they traded them has no conference or league titles to vacate has an owner worth more than the league, so you can't fine him enough to matter can't even suspend their star from playing because he's already injured 3/4th of the year anyways
  6. Yeah see, usually we have checks and balances to avoid this sort of fuck up. Ya know, where the body with the power of the purse approves new taxes and expenditures? Eh idk that's just some cloak room shit I guess.
  7. Loooooolllllll, Venezuela is claiming the video trump posted of the strike was AI generated https://www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trump-accused-of-sharing-bogus-video-of-deadly-drug-boat-strike/ Jesus, the information ecosystem is impressively fucked
  8. It was pretty broadly reported during his first run, before all his supporters decided they LOVED pedophiles https://www.thedailybeast.com/inside-donald-trumps-one-stop-parties-attendees-recall-cocaine-and-very-young-models/ https://www.timesofisrael.com/report-trump-hosted-cocaine-fueled-parties-with-underage-girls/ (links to supporting news found on his wikipedia page, content is copy/pasted below here) A photographer who attended some of those parties and wished to remain anonymous, said that the models were enticed to attend by being promised that “you’ll meet rich guys who will help you.” And the attraction for the men “was young girls assuming they’d get somewhere.” He claimed that the girls were as young as 15, and were “over their heads, they had no idea, and they ended up in situations,” the man told The Daily Beast, according to the report. “There were always dramas because the men threw money and drugs at them to keep them enticed. It’s based on power and dominating girls who can’t push back and can be discarded. There’s always someone to pick them back up. Nobody wants to call home and say ‘Help me.’” Trump would allegedly wander through the parties enjoying himself. “Trump was in and out. He’d wander off with a couple girls. I saw him. He was getting laid like crazy,” the photographer said. “Trump was at the heart of it. He loved the attention and in private, he was a total fucking beast.” ... Andy Lucchesi, a male model who allegedly organized the parties and a Trump supporter, told The Daily Beast that “there was cocaine around. I never saw him do that. Donald Trump does not do cocaine. He’s in control of himself.” When asked about the ages of the girls, Lucchesi told The Daily Beast that there were “a lot of girls, 14, look 24. That’s as juicy as I can get. I never asked how old they were; I just partook.” There was no response from Trump’s team to the report, the latest of a series of tawdry scandals to dog the campaign in the final stretch of the election season, including allegations of sexual assault by Trump. Trump has denied the allegations, in one case saying the accuser was not attractive enough for him.
  9. I'd rather he visit Dallas and get a taste of their Presidential hospitality
  10. I would think moreso the hiding in the bushes and hunting the children with a firearm is the bigger problem. It shows intent to harm and kill
  11. He waited for the kids to come back, and then started shooting. Charges upgraded and bury him under the fucking jail https://www.fox26houston.com/news/ding-dong-ditch-shooting-suspect-waited-children-return-charges-be-upgraded
  12. Apologies for the title that is admittedly provacative, but this is a really interesting interview with Tony Gilroy that talks about what they were thinking about while writing and making Rouge One, and Andor S1-2. Video in spoiler if you don't mind comparisons between Andor and current events from the person who wrote Andor In particular, he comments on the synchronicity that his show kept on having even though they wrote it years before filming. Specifically, Senator Padilla's arrest from the Senate floor the day after the Ghorman Massacre aired really had him wondering if members of the Administration were watching his show
  13. idiocy aside, that actually does make sense from a skills perspective. Alabama is where much of America's rocket arsenal is built, tested, and maintained. And it makes sense to spread around service branch HQ's so they're more geographically diverse and harder to target all at the same time
  14. Lordy, I imagine some of the big US equipment makers like NOV are having a real shitty time
  15. TBH we're a little behind on the Bell Riots but I figure we'll get there at this rate
  16. Glacially slow in defending rights and freedom, blitzkreig-fast when it comes to enabling a dictator
  17. It's what's being taught in MBA courses around the country, and has been for decades. Shareholders and investors are more important than anything else, and if you disagree then fuck you you're fired.
  18. Wait.... So are they really internalizing that trump is the antichrist? It would make sense what with their worship of a demagogue
  19. I 100% agree things should not work like that. However in my professional career so far, and in watching my parents go through their careers, that's how it fuckin goes. At least once a business reaches the "growth" portion of its lifespan, which is the life blood of our economy. None of anything is built upon actual results of returns, it's all speculative based on possible future growth. TSLA out front shoulda told ya. Elon gets away with EVERYTHING simply because he keeps line going up. Nevermind that every capital intensive project with Tesla has failed so far for the last five years or so
  20. You doughnut, that search will return results for "cis" "white" OR "men". If you want an exact string search, enter "cis white man" like the search tool said But go ahead and keep doing your hateful bit
  21. Huh, CBP was being trained to use mortars by US special forces? https://www.dvidshub.net/image/9274238/soldiers-international-forces-train-mortar-live-fire-during-arctic-edge-25 That's straight from DoD, and seems extremely unusual, even for a tactical police team. It does make sense from a funding perspective though, since they get more cash than the Marines now. Jesus we're fucked
  22. Lol, you try telling a board of directors that you won't cut costs or lay anyone off when your business model is suddenly too expensive. You can pick a legal nit about it, but functionally it's 100% the duty and responsibility of management to protect investors and their money. That means layoffs and cost cutting.
  23. Tbh, of they enforce traffic laws that'll make drivers less pissed off. Constantly dodging beat up Nissans with paper plates that are recklessly merging into the 59/610 interchange will put the rage into most people
