It's so refreshing to see a SocDem who doesn't preface every criticism of Israel with a condemnation of KHAMAS.

Wasn't even the first cracker to do it either.

The Democratic Party's ultimate asset went undercover to infiltrate the Republicans and destroy it from within. This selfless hero sacrificed his popularity and credibility (and $280 million) for the good of the party. This was a plan 10 years in the making finally coming to fruition.

address the rise in antisemitism

i.e., lock up students who participate in pro-Palestinian rallies

Wanna know when it really hits home that you're now officially old? When you start noticing that the doctors you see are younger than you are.

I agree. An evil man dying of natural causes at an age beyond what most of us will ever statistically reach is hardly cathartic. Especially when the blueprint he laid down has created so many wealthy charlatans in his mold.

Dystopian sci-fi authors really are the prophets of our age.

He refused to host Liver King on his show because he lies about his natty status (claims he doesn't use steroids). Apparently this is the one moral line Rogan will not cross.

"Coinsurance" is such a racket. Just when you've finally met your deductible and expect your insurance to cover the rest you find out you're now in the coinsurance zone so you've still gotta pay 20-40% of the inflated billing.

I guess we can finally get clarification on whether or not forums are social media.

My bad. But you can see how your comment reads like a whataboutism, right?

 
 

Though it does China dirty calling it the EU.

 

Who is tuning in to Amazon to watch lib coverage of the election that CNN and MSNBC already do much better? I watched a few minutes of this out of curiosity and it's a low budget shitshow with shoddy production and camera work. And Brian Williams? Did I miss his redemption arc? Wasn't he banished from NBC for being the George Santos of network news? Is this all Jeff Bezos could afford?

 

There is no escape. We are all trapped here together.

 

An executive in an American military contractor that is providing data analytics to the IDF joking about war crimes. This attack could not have been planned and executed so successfully without Palantir's services and they are gleefully celebrating their involvement without explicitly saying so.

 

When your only political ideology is "girlboss".

 

Whatever intern came up with this deserves a raise.

 

This AI bubble is rapidly accelerating and it will take the entire market (and global economy) down with it. And while Sam Altman didn't singlehandedly ignite the new silicon arms race, OpenAI (and ChatGPT) did usher in the era we are now living in.

Much was said about Nvidia overtaking Microsoft today to become the world's most valuable company, but take a look at the top 3:

They are ALL beneficiaries of partnerships with OpenAI. Microsoft added a trillion dollars of market cap since partnering with them last year and Apple hit new all time highs after their announcement that ChatGPT will power "Apple Intelligence". And Nvidia? Well, they were just a $300 billion dollar video game card maker 5 years ago and now they are the biggest company on earth because their cards train AI models.

I'm just flabbergasted at how quickly and thoroughly the promises made by one small startup has become the economic backbone of the entire stock market. The bubble popping for this hype cycle will be one for the ages.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has called on the European Union to collaborate with the United States in addressing the surge of Chinese green-tech exports, warning that the influx threatens global manufacturing sectors.

Last week, the US administration announced tariffs of 25 percent on steel and aluminum, 50 percent on semiconductors, 100 percent on electric vehicles, and 50 percent on solar panels.

Speaking in Germany this Tuesday, Yellen emphasized the need for a united response to China’s manufacturing dominance to protect industries worldwide, as initially reported by FT.

“China’s industrial policy may seem remote as we sit here in this room, but if we do not respond strategically and in a united way, the viability of businesses in both our countries and around the world could be at risk,” Yellen told FT at the Frankfurt School.

In a speech on Tuesday, Yellen defended the Biden administration’s tariff hikes including a 400 percent increase on China electric vehicles. “The tariff increases are strategic and targeted steps,” she stated. This follows the White House’s tariff adjustments aimed at safeguarding U.S. industry, especially in key electoral states.

In a post on the social media platform X, Joe Biden said that “China is determined to dominate these industries” while enhancing that he is “determined to ensure America leads the world in them”.

 
 

Clearly Hamas is the very caricature of evil so anything less than sadistic violence must be done for propaganda purposes
