And suddenly MAGA was vegan because it's "patriotic" or something...

"Now ______’s burgeoning right-wing populist party..."

Is a sentence I'm REALLY fucking tired of seeing over and over and over and over... The future is depressing enough ffs.

His use of "no one is above the law" is FUCKING INFURIATING considering the massive injustice that was all at the hands of "Judge" Cannon.

I hope "I'm too much of a coward to take action" Garland never sleeps through the night for the rest of his life. How's that "don't want to appear political" working out now...

I was literally just about to comment something similar. I'm taking a road trip at some point to water the grass right on top

This is "they did it so we're going to do it with Epstein."

They always do this projection bullshit. So now we're going to get manufactured Epstein "documents" at some point in the near future after they let this story run its course and seep into the common consciousness. Now you can't point back at them and claim they manufactured "information" about Epstein because it just becomes a "no, you!" argument. They always do this.

If I understand them correctly and they're a tankie then there's nothing wrong about this statement in their eyes, in their view the left side is very right wing conservative and the right side is moderate conservative "liberal" but none are "the left" so to them they're not attacking left wing anything.

*and actively destroys/dismantles anything one could remotely be proud of having their tax money go to.

I'd gladly fund NASA and scientific research any day of the week, but nooooo gotta feed the poor poor billionaires.

Nowhere has that dynamic been more pronounced than with the ultraconservative House Freedom Caucus, whose members have repeatedly threatened to oppose bills before acquiescing under pressure from Trump

Dictatorship? Nah couldn't be. He's just dictating what needs to happen and then threatens credible consequences for resisting his will.

Honestly I seriously wish he'd say no anyway and twist the knife.

I know they can't though, a bribe doesn't work again if others know you don't follow through... :(

GOP FBI: "There are no records."

GOP FBI: "ok, ok, there are only 100,000 records. It's like nothing ok."

It literally doesn't matter to Trump, he got what he wanted, he's already in office grifting away. He can't run again unless he really does go full dictator and the courts rubber stamp it so "public approval" means absolutely fucking nothing to him.

Murdoch and his supporters are like the contractors he fucked over in the past. He got what he wanted from them, now he doesn't need you and will throw you away.

 

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” …
