  1. if you don't know about pod save america, they have jokes, good takes and insight. some interesting stuff about fox in the interview in this one
  2. just noticing the intro has an alternate version of 1st 44 that sounds cool. i think i recall rumor of more collapse bonus tracks for the warp store.. also, i was just searching around and noticed aphex has like 10 dates this year. that's cool. would be sick to get more of these soundboard-mix youtubes..
  3. this is an interesting development. it points to trump prosecution resulting from the jan 6 investigation happening. and happening in a bigger way than was previously anticipated. the fact that special counsel jack smith is now incorporating fraud for trump's fundraising, that's something he would do if the investigation was finding the evidence establishing that trump knew his claims were false. being able to prove that element of intent is precisely the hardest part of the prosecution, and it sounds like they have it. doing the fraud case for fundraising is what you would do if you were going to move forward because it's true, trump raised hundreds of millions of dollars, a comparable amount to an entire presidential campaign, based on his allegations of fraud. and that scheme was itself a fraud. it is utterly appropriate to prosecute him for that it will help defuse the disinfo attempts to confuse the public, in the event of prosecuting for jan 6 crimes
  4. dragons found on mars from curiousity rover 2 weeks ago
  5. did we confirm the numerical indices of sign and plus? because wasn't elseq 12 and then nts was maybe 13 so was it plus and sign are both 14? trying to remember the 14 indicator. wasn't there something ah yes warp lp 338 and warp lp 329. both add to 14
  6. ok, sure. glad we could clarify. many dems are disappointing or poor. many i like a lot. i wouldn't be surprised to learn that some were quite bad, and i could probably think of some. sorry to hear about the issues in your state.
  7. the twitter files were pretty transparently a lame attempt by musk to own the libs. no real journalists took it seriously, it was a joke. there's no equivocating the dems and the gop. the gop is the end result of decades of pandering to the rich and powerful. it's like 10th generation inbreeding. a monstrosity. the country was nearly overthrown by trump thanks to them. they let that happen bernie's not perfect, like anyone. the dnc is an event planning committee demonized by fox, trump, alex jones, and the russian info campaign that sought to turn bernie bros against the dems. msnbc has some good stuff, and some less good. ari melber is good. by the way, "both sides are the same" is PRECISELY one of the most widely deployed narratives by confirmed propagandist trolls. the real nefarious powers want people to not pay attention. they want you to think it's all the same. in truth, the gop do orders of magnitude more egregious, self-serving, and deceptive stuff. at least 2 orders of magnitude, though quantifying this is not a science. but i'd say they might be 1000 times worse than the dems. it's really something to behold. it's actually hard to comprehend just how depraved congressional republicans are. more horrifying and grotesque than the worst trip. facing your own death, or facing devastating ruin or loss, are less repugnant than truly beholding the modern gop. they are an affront to thousands of years of what our ancestors in civilization worked and fought and died to build. they threaten the structural integrity of society so they can fleece it, like heroin addicts. my skin crawls thinking about the filth in the capitol
  8. no doubt he didn't give a fuck about people dying from covid, and his lack of taking it seriously led to unnecessary deaths. but based on some stats I loosely remember, wasn't his base (or R's) one of the groups dying more from it than his enemies, the dems? if he could have steered covid to spread anywhere, I would think it would have been to target the dem population, and let his brothers in arms survive so they could vote him back in. if he consciously spreads the rona to his base, then he loses soldiers for his coup, no? sorry it wasn't exactly clear to me the correlation you were making. the coup (at least to me) seemed to come more out of desperation, rather than some machiavellian level scheming donald had concocted before the election occurred. trump chases the ball in whatever direction it goes in. then he lies/cheats/bribes to get his way, whenever the proverbial balls starts to veer away from the goal. maybe at one point a long time ago he had the scheming part more down pat, could see moves ahead. but he's stretched way too thin now, his mental capacity for that crap I think is gone. he's bull in the china shop donald now, a completely toxic stupid human being. of course it is difficult to deduce what is in someone's head. but also, in some cases, it can be possible to deduce what is in someone's head. many prosecutors do this as a routine part of their day, and there is a vast knowledgebase of established fact on how to do it, systematically and with high confidence aka certainty. that dude doing his daily press conferences was one way to broadcast a whole lot of data about what was going on in his mind relating to various actions he took and decisions he made. unfortunately i was following things way too closely. you're correct that his horrible job of a response to the pandemic served to hurt him. i'm not certain exactly how it came to be that he acted in a way resulting in about a million americans dying unnecessarily, but i know that he did act that way. the most charitable explanation i can conceive of is that he took a position of trolling the pandemic because he thought he wouldn't do a good job if he actually listened to health experts and it would be hard work and he'd just get criticized for not doing it well enough. so he decided to troll it. but even if that is the case, how do you separate the motivation from the action, when he is campaigning against the legitimacy of the election, before the election, and using mail-ins as his main pretext? how can you say that it would not be at least one of his motivations for continuing to do a bad job of a response? so it was at least one of his reasons for helping corona to spread, such as by resisting demand to provide testing, tracing, and advise mask-wearing and social distancing. those instances of steadfast stonewalling against a solid consensus of health expert advice may have caused eight tenths of the death toll in the country, if we look at studies such as one by john hopkins which analyzed the impact of the federal response. i was watching those coronavirus press conferences. i was following all the shit. that dude knew what he was doing. just like he knew what he was doing when he contested an election before the votes were even counted. the question is now just: was this negligence primarily for the purpose of image? or was it primarily for the purpose of trying to break up the US government? if you're someone, like me, who sees the fingerprint of a compromised agent being used by russia to do as much damage as possible to the US and other adversaries of russia, then it's much more believable that his primary motive was to sew chaos and unrest. he let himself be maneuvered into a position where he needed to stay president. look what's happening now. he's being indicted from 4 angles. he was always compromised, he tried to lose in 2016. and then he just got more fucked because he kept doing worse stuff that would make him more motivated to stay in office no matter what. he knew there was a chance he could lose and that wasn't ok with him. he needed to try to stay in no matter what.
  9. what is a significant truth that people don't yet realize? As an AI language model, I don't have access to a universal truth that people don't yet realize, as everyone's perception and understanding of truth can vary depending on their beliefs, experiences, and cultural background. However, one significant truth that some people may not fully realize is the impact of their actions on the environment and the interconnectedness of all living things. As humans, we are part of a complex ecosystem, and our actions can have a ripple effect on the health of the planet and all its inhabitants. It's crucial to recognize that we are all responsible for creating a sustainable future, and taking small steps towards reducing our environmental impact can have a significant impact in the long run. This includes reducing our carbon footprint, conserving resources, and advocating for policies that protect the environment. By recognizing the importance of our individual actions and working together as a society, we can create a more sustainable future for generations to come
  10. it's quite clear that donald worked hard to help covid spread, consciously, to help set the stage for his coup. he was out there laying the pretext for contesting an election that hadn't happened yet, for months. one of the key narratives he employed was about mail-in ballots. he is the single biggest factor in a million americans dying unnecessarily and he did it deliberately. he should be in the hague for crimes against humanity. that would be justice i'm just sitting here waiting for people to realize that.
  11. "more than 30 counts related to business fraud" so i guess not the porn star indictment to be unsealed in coming days
  12. the georgia case looks likely to result in indictment. the mar a lago documents case also does. i have a feeling that smith will bring an indictment for the coup, too.
  13. not sure what the charges are yet but this is not the big one. just ny state getting him for the crime cohen did time for. will be interesting to see the unsealed indictment and charges. looks like trump org exec weiselberg may have flipped, there may be a couple other related charges nice to see a state set the precedent. states indicting former presidents is much cleaner than feds indicting former presidents. but in this case the feds should and may. the one we are waiting for is the feds indicting him for his failed coup, probably the worst crime in american history
  14. plastic is big oil. a fossil fuel product. a byproduct of refining and processing it. that's why it's cheap. that's the power propping up plastic consumption. they know how to grease wheels and antiphase info the amount of plastic i generate is disgusting. we are not on pace to avert the greenhouse worst scenarios and we are treating microplastics as a lower priority. they will kill all the whales
  15. stupid ukraine, forcing russia to commit ongoing terrorist attacks against them, by not laying down. btw cbc world news is great
