Instead, the Democrats settled for a promise that the Senate will vote on a bill to extend the subsidies by the end of the second week of December, with the outcome uncertain...

... Uncertain is a word used when you aren't sure what the outcome will be.

Uncertain is certainly NOT the word to use in this situation.

Republicans in December: HAHAHAHAHAHA fuck you Dems, we vote no. Next.

It's a failure of the system as a whole. If the rights are described as inalienable as a fact of the law then any president who tries to take those rights away should ideally be stopped by the courts.

Instead we have courts that say "hmmm it's pretty clear they can't do this so how can I make up some absolute nonsense to say it's totally ok for them to do it...."

I feel like this is almost worse in a way. We grew up with the future looking bright only to have it all collapse under us... We knew what we could have had and instead were given rampant corruption, war, economic and environmental collapse, and growing authoritarianism... Fun stuff... :/

It's one brain cell firing and reacting to a residual signal from the initial fire. The only thing that keeps it going is its own stupidity.

Trusting scientists has absolutely nothing to do with kings at all...

We all start development as deuterostomes, meaning we all start off as just an asshole and grow from there, Trump's biological development never progressed. He's just an asshole.

"Ok, so, yeah... We know that Trump did all these horrible things to children, but we can't charge a sitting president because of a memo written by another corrupt Republican administration. Sorry our hands are tied! Oh we can't impeach him either because... because fuck you that's why. Sorry not sorry! Vote R in the midterms though! Communism! Be afraid!"

What an incredibly uncomfortable sculpture lol

Jesus looks super rapey and Kirk looks like he wants no part of what's happening.

Sorry Kirk, but as a religious person I'm sure you know the Lord is inside of you whether you want him or not.

The Trump Administration: Fuck you America. Eat shit and worship me.

 
 

US media company Paramount Global has agreed to pay $16 million (£13.5m) to settle a legal dispute with US President Donald Trump regarding an interview it broadcast on CBS with former Vice President Kamala Harris.

As usual corporations looking for special treatment, hoping to have their merger accepted, refuse to fight the fascist...

I wish someone would sue Fox for fucks sake..

91°F (32.7°C) in the factory I work at.

The law states "all factories must maintain a reasonable temperature and humidity."

Nowhere is reasonable ever defined. I am mildly infuriated. And very hot lol

Edit: 94° (34.4C) now and this post has made it close to the top of "Hot"... The gods are having a laugh lol

 

25 minute exposure of NGC 2264 taken with a seestar s50. Testing the new denoise function added in the most resent seestar firmware update.

No further post processing so colors seem to be a bit off as a result of the denoise feature, but otherwise an amazing result as most images from the seestar s50 contain a lot of RGB noise!

 
 

Hey Lemmy! Time to do some digging!

I was sent a link from a friend about some Totally Cool™ guy who has close ties to JD Vance: Curtis Yarvin. Anyone aware of this guy and his desires? I won't put the link in here as my last post was removed because of it, but a comment within the thread is copied below.

Apparently Japanese media covered the story as was posted to Reddit, but there doesn't seem to be too much talk of this in the US.

From a comment in the reddit discussion: “Curtis Yarvin is a far-right ‘intellectual’ that wants to end democracy and install what I can only really describe as cyberpunk feudalism. He’s suggested turning the United States into a patchwork of corporate fiefdoms ruled with absolute impunity by CEOs, as well as putting mandatory ankle monitors on all unemployed and poor people. This sounds like a joke, but I’m serious. JD Vance is not just a fan of him intellectually, but also a personal friend. As someone who has known about Yarvin for several years, it’s been really concerning seeing how he could potentially become a Rasputin-like figure in the event of a Trump victory. Beyond this, Yarvin has also spent many years advocating for what sounds eerily like Project 2025.”

For those familiar with Star Citizen lore, he apparently wants to turn the US into the Stanton system “lol” …
