Key sentence in that article: "The findings suggest that Mr. Trump’s brand of conservative populism once again turned politics-as-usual upside down"

As in: people don't fucking want status quo.

Democrats: if we just status quo harder we'll attract the unicorn moderates and win!

I watched through a playlist they had and now I can't stop thinking this when I hear Professor Shahram Azhar:

"Wow." Lol

90% of the time his only response is "wow."

While I understand what you're saying, Okcupid was way better before match group bought it. They could make money and still have a useful website.

Sometimes it's simply greed. :(

The "problem" they're trying to "correct" by the use of the word coordinate, is that in order for the unlimited money super pacs to be legal, they must not coordinate with the campaigns of those they support.

Now they want to have full control over the unlimited money instead of jumping through hoops to hide their control.

Billionaires are just straight up buying the country.

It's absolutely time for another tea party, we don't have representation, the ownership class has representation. They don't pay taxes, but we do.

What the actual fuck... I need to find someone who is deeply familiar with the types of jobs a person could have.

If you told me "chocolate technology specialist" was a thing, I'd have probably gone to college for it. Instead I'm stuck in a factory, just dreaming about chocolate... And then going home and eating it lol

I just made the meme, so "liar" I suppose lol but honestly I was more making a joke about the new concentration camps being made and how whatever the number is now, it's going to climb a lot.

I really did Nazi it coming. I read over a few books, but I haven't Hitler on anything that sounds quite like this...

I don't like to be too specific with what I do, I'll just say we're more Gucci than Garmin. Our products are "luxury" and apparently the competition isn't really competition.

But who knows, maybe there is another one out there that is gaining popularity. I don't really pay attention to that market other than what my job entails. Lord knows I can't afford even our cheapest product, not to mention I have no use for it lol

 

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” …
