I love the chuds losing their shit and blaming Kathleen Kennedy for ‘ruining Star Wars!’. She’s been involved with LucasFilm/SW since 1983. You’d think that forty years would be ample time to kill a fucking film franchise, even for C-Suite level talent.
It’s very easy to dispell this. … It’s not hidden knowledge that liberalism has been the primary enemy of fascism… I could respond with pages of reasoning and sources.
Or how about just one?
You have to swallow a little bit and vote for Joe.
I’m worried that planning reform isn’t really a vote winner.
Yeah, the Tories are projected to lose because folks are happy with the status quo.
But he’s getting the crap kicked out of him by Rumsfeld – satellite conferences all the time: “I need more intelligence. I need to know what’s going on. What is this thing you’re calling an insurgency?”
“When are you going to get this thing wrapped up?” is the phrase I’ve heard Rumsfeld use. “When are you going to get this thing wrapped up?” Well, sometimes things don’t get wrapped up. Sometimes crises last a long time. And the key is not to end the crisis, but to manage the crisis. I think that’s what the U.S. military has moved to now in Iraq in 2006. - source
My first thought was that it was done to take a swipe at the types that would be showing up for the Solstice celebration that claim that it’s all about spiritual connection with nature but turn it into a rave full of upper middle class anglo influencer types in the same vein as burning man.
Any reporting on stories of activist vandalism tend to downplay the fact that it’s never permanent damage by design. The reporting always present the story like the fact that the soup or whatever never made it past the protective glass as incompetence on part of the protestors, and not in fact a conscious choice since the goal was never to permanently damage the art.
I drove the PCH solo twice, setting up my $150 tent at a new campsite stop each night in five minutes, driving a '94 Pathfinder that cost me less than his tent.
I love the irony in the cognitive dissonance:
“Everyone believes they are immune to propaganda.” - Group of Redditors buying into blatant propaganda.
Yes, it’s Russian propaganda that caused Hillary to lose, and not her unmasked contempt for anyone not completely adherent to neoliberal ideology. The success of the previously unknown Bernie’s campaign should have been a wake up call to at least act like you could play nice with the more progressive folks. Bernie was never going to be the VP pick, but there were a handful of others that would have been at least throwing a bone to that part of the base.
Nope, she picks Tim “Pro Life” fucking Kaine, but it was Russian ops that convince those Michigan voters to pick Stein.
In the first half of the 20th century, the United States actually had a powerful leftist force in the form of the Socialist Party of America.
Then it all crashed because the left ranted about purity and no other reasons. The End.
This guy is only four years younger than Junior in the first season and it shows.
I started on a wild pedal board build over covid. Never played a gig in my life but for some reason I needed build a new board on a Vertex Travel plus, Boss ES-5 Switcher, Strymon Mobius, Volante and Big Sky, a Stereo line mixer for those three, a Two Notes Tube Preamp and IR Loader and a bunch of overdrives. The crown jewel on the board is the Ibanez TS-10 that I grabbed for $160 CAD on Craigslist from someone who didn’t know the current value on they had (PSA: No tubescreamer is worth more than this).
It’s currently torn apart while I procrastinate on soldering a bunch of cables to connect everything, and mostly play through an HX Stomp.
“we will bring them to you whether you like them or not”
Hey, how did Khamenei rise to power again?
Yeah, at 30 you should be ready to graduate to all of the capeless suburban dad fantasy schlock like Reacher, the Equalizer or CIA Jim in the Clancy bullshit.
This man is 
personified.
All they had to do was cast Stavros and the fuckers would have a money printer going brrrrrrr.
What Hamas did was far, far worse than killing people in gas chambers
I have wonder that while I have no doubt that Altman (a finance guy) has little to no actual understanding of “AI”, whether he truly believes these claims. The business relies on securing astronomical amounts of venture capital, practically requiring anywhere between bold embellishment and outright lies. So what’s the repercussions for the latter? As long as you let the real wealth pull out their investment before the bottom falls out and let the retail investors take the hit, probably zero. Even if you don’t do that, at worst you get a short stay in Club Fed like Holmes. On the other hand, I’m still fairly skeptical that any valley finance guy is actually that cognizant.
