I need a slrn style killfile where I can filter everything. Maybe it would be an actual use case for AI assistance where if the AI can’t figure out what the noun and verb of a headline then it gets down ranked.

It’s missing the “background” section that puts something other than statistical information in the entries. That needs to get fixed because as it is you can look at the entry for Venezuela and not have any clue that it’s currently dealing with a US occupation.

And the data layout is probably the most inefficient UX possible.

Lots of opportunity here and I’m glad to see someone working on bringing this tool back.

Thank you for saving me a click.

The Bronze Age didn’t collapse. Governments collapsed. Most people alive then would have not even have known it happened.

I’m thinking that even some of the faithful have realized that other than getting rid of the penny, he hasn’t delivered in a beneficial way, any policy. The reality distortion field is fading. The midterms are going to break it even further as Trump endorsements fail to bring seats.

The mechanics of the press pool are that there are five reporters one from each of the major media outlets. Each day one of them is assigned to follow the president around like Natalie Harp Because there’s not enough room everywhere, he goes for all five of them and their equipment. All of the audio is recorded by whoever that reporter is for the day. And all five major networks that are the pool have decided they’re no longer going to take part in what he is calling “the free press ban.”

This is most definitely a boycott. Because after years of his threats they finally figured out they are enabling him.

At the end of the scene he tells them to “Party on, dudes!” with the music.

If all you have to do to make something illegal legal is just reverse the assignment of front and back then that is just cheating. What else should redefine? Trump forcing the government into partial ownership of companies isn’t fascism or socialism, it’s sparkling populism.

This is legal us tender. You can call it a commemorative coin all you want but that doesn’t change anything.

The reverse coin part doesn’t make a difference. There is a clear heads and tails on this coin and swapping the designation of which side is which does not change that.

You ruined my joke. But I forgive you.

They admitted that they tried to find a non-watermark photo. So it’s not that they weren’t raised right. They were just lazy. And that’s okay.

The Trump dollar coins are officially in people’s hands. They aren’t in regular distribution. You have to pay at least 54% more than the face value to get them from the US Mint and you can’t buy them in quantities of less than 25.

If you see one in real life you should know the following:

1. whoever originally got it from the Mint paid more than the face value / spending power of the coin to get it.
2. the existence of this coin is a violation of federal law. 31 U.S. Code 5114-b states only deceased people can be on US currency.
3. they used his mugshot image as the base for the portrait. Making this illegal coin doubly symbolic.
4. it is a federal crime to deface or destroy legal US currency. This is legal US currency. You can trade the coin for other US currency of equal face value at any federal reserve bank. AKA any bank. They are all federal reserve banks.

Illegal coins usually get recalled at some point in the future making the surviving coins valuable. But in this case if your kids are cleaning out your possessions after you die and find this coin it will cause the same kinds of feelings as finding Nazi or Confederate currency. “Was Dad a Trump sympathizer? Let’s not tell anyone about this. Maybe we can sell it at a coin shop.” The coin dealer says “I can’t give those away. Too toxic. I can’t even display them without customers walking out.”

Are you in the habit of listening to someone that is lying about who you are? There is no reason to reward someone who is arguing with a person they made up instead of the person they are talking with.

I never said impossible. I said you decided a conspiracy was the more likely situation. I also never said Republicans are mostly gay. That’s your wording and not my position at all.

Okay, you did create a conspiracy theory. Thank you for confirming.

I’m sure it does and that the regular infrastructure is more than capable of handling them. But not one off extraordinary events.

Did you just invent a conspiracy theory where people are using VPNs to fake their location data to make it look like Grindr is having an outage?

Then you followed that up saying let’s be real?

Did I read your comment correctly? I don’t want to misinterpret it but that’s what it looks like you said.

Yet somehow, only GOP cons are a problem.

Hold up. I insist that my position be accurately represented because otherwise you are arguing with a person you made up instead of me.

Reread everything I said. My position is that this happens at every Republican related convention. Not that it only happens then.

Can you correct your framing of my position to be accurate so that I know we are on the same page?

I’m sure there have been DNC related crashes too. But there is no built in hypocrisy because the DNC isn’t trying to repeal gay rights. You know that.

I skipped the rest of your comment because there was so much bad faith in that one sentence that I could see we weren’t having the same conversation.

And 8pm Wednesday is peak time? Even in a city where that isn’t a thing that happens? It just happened to take place coincidentally right as the day’s event was winding down just like it always does during every Republican convention.

That’s a level of coincidence frequency that requires a conspiracy theory because it’s not statistically probable or possible.
