I think his main motivation for continuing to run the company is to spread his agenda. If it only costs him a small percent of revenue to keep pushing Nazi taking points, thenbi think he'll just pay the fines.

But of course, police are given 3 months of training tops, so they just fire them wherever.

I don't think they fire them wherever. I think they aim at people's faces because they think it's funny.

A term created in order to vacuum up VC funding for spurious use cases.

Number one cause of death of pregnant people in the US is murder. I wonder what the rates are like in these states versus others.

Sandy Hook families holding about $1.5 billion in defamation judgments [...] a competing plan submitted by Jones that would allow him to reorganize by preserving parts of his media empire and paying the group at least $5.5 million a year over 10 years

Why did you omit the part where they didn't accept that plan? Those ellipses did some heavy lifting.

If he wins, we're done. No doubt about it. However, if we hold back the fascists this election (this includes the House and Senate,) there is a real chance at landing a huge defeat to maga extremism in '26 and '28.

Yes, you should be paying attention to your local politics: right wing extremism is on the rise everywhere.

This was a case where you needed the sarcasm tag. Up to then, it was a totally "reasonable" comment from an AI bro.

BTW, plug "crypto" in to your comment for AI, and it's a totally normal statement from 2020/21. It's such a similar VC grift.

Russian State TV ran celebratory pieces when the House elected Johnson as speaker. He's been in their pocket for a while.

Your liver doesn't have any nerve endings inside of it, so your have no way of knowing if there's something wrong with it, unless it suffers a traumatic injury. So don't worry, the pain your feel isn't your liver failing, because you'd never notice it.

Hopefully everybody finds this reassuring.

Vaughn’s confession contradicted the facts of the crime, but the judge sentenced him to life in prison anyway, commenting, “I’m sure that some governor somewhere down the road will reduce the sentence or commute it to a term of years.”

It's awful at every step.

That and/or, "I'm such a raging asshole that I've created a terrible, toxic environment and everybody always quits."

Back in the day I worked in a restaurant that closed down, and the owner tried to steal all of our last two weeks' pay.

It had been announced ahead of time that the place was going to close at the end of the month, and we were actually a very popular place, so the last two weeks were completely sold out, crazy busy, and there should have been lots of tips. After we closed, they kept dragging out the date we could get out last paychecks, then finally just tried saying, "there won't be any last paychecks."

All of us employees got together with a lawyer and they sent a letter saying that they needed to give us our last paychecks or we would file a class action lawsuit for all the tips they'd been stealing out of the tip pool. He then relented and agreed to pay us our last checks, but refused to mail them. When I went to pick up the check, dude really had the balls to try to shake my hand and say, "Hey Turtle Joe, how's the summer going? Take any vacations or anything?"

I left him hanging and said, "No I've been out of work for months now. I'm not here to talk to you, I just need my check."

P.S. we sued him for wage theft anyway and ended up taking him for almost $200k.
