About a third to two thirds of literally everyone who wound up kidnapped into this camp, yes.

This is me. On the one hand, I am filled with rage that we have a society where a young mother can't even afford a nice birthday for her kid, where the first part is the sort of story I witnessed over and over when I was in retail. On the other hand, this sort of story, even if it's embellished or untrue, lets me hold hope for at least a moment that there's good in this world worth fighting for.

Don't forget "is getting their own airline operating 24/7 specifically for deportations and transporting people to international blacksites".

It's the suicide machine from A Taste of Armageddon.

Animation is now about as expensive as live-action, and Disney, like most studios, is still on "animation is for kids". They're trying to position these live-action remakes as somehow "more adult" because they're not animated.

Remember that Greenland is still a Danish protectorate, so we'd be getting into a shooting match with the entire EU, more than likely.

Nah, even if they weren't the target, it happened in the "line of duty". Same shit as when a SWAT team accidentally kills a kid through a wall after raiding a house, or when a cop runs a driver off the road while chasing down another vehicle.

I've actually asked one of the software devs at my company about this. The answer is "typing is too slow" - the idea goes that you can dictate 2-3x faster than you can type, and since the current software market is focused on FASTER FASTER MORE SPEED MORE CODE NOW, and your performance is often only measured in how many lines of code you produce, the only way you can stay competitive is to dictate to your dozen AI agents, with you just auditing and debugging the output when needed.

Note that this isn't phrased as "the proceeds of that cargo", or the value. We're just doing Dear Leader's favorite new pastime of piracy.

You should, it's rough, but well worth the watch.

Yeah. When you put a tool that's ripe for abuse in the hands of a group that's KNOWN for abuse, you can't be surprised when it gets abused.

I have bad news for you, which is that he posted a statement and a photo with Elaine in his hospital room. It sounds like he had a mini stroke or something - he fell, they've done a "battery" of tests "trying to find out what caused the fall", and then caught a "mild" case of pneumonia due to hospitalization.

Even at 84, you don't take up a hospital bed for three and a half weeks just from a fall and pneumonia.
