From the website:

First, we must recognize that the president (…) responds to one thing: the market. The most potent weapon to resist the administration is a targeted, month-long national economic strike — a coordinated campaign that attacks tech companies and firms enabling ICE — to inflict maximum damage with minimal impact on consumers.

Companies listed (to boycott) include Amazon and Google, yet the Squarespace site uses services from both.

🤦

OK, now I get it. My brain was too lazy to even try to decipher “triple entendre”.

I’m still amazed by the hyphen. Is there a profession of literal wordsmith that comes up with such things? Probably got fired by DOGE.

Thanks for linking the whole album. Very enjoyable.

Election experts say that the meeting reflects an intensifying push to persuade Trump to take unprecedented actions to affect the vote in November.

For me this is the first time somebody actually wrote out that other people are pulling Trump’s strings.

And they already know that a simple executive order won’t be enough this time.

I still maintain that him dying or becoming too frail might end this whole thing because he’s the face, even the hero, for his voters, and because there will be a lot of infighting once he’s gone. But it might not.

But otoh, “unprecedented actions to affect the vote” has been happening since Trump1.0 and, well, almost since independence day (the term “gerrymandering” is over 200 years old).

Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography And Marketing

Amazing. They actually integrated the hyphen into the acronym. But alas…

The CAN-SPAM Act is occasionally referred to by critics as the “You-Can-Spam” Act because the bill fails to prohibit many types of e-mail spam and preempts some state laws that would otherwise have provided victims with practical means of redress.

Yeah, I think that’s him.

With this admin, I always feel chances are equal they A) did it on purposes or B) fucked up again. This sort of ambiguity might be on purpose for whoever decided to let social media influencers run a country.

Not sure. A middle aged guy (judging from his voice and some hints, I don’t think he’s actually visible) from some English speaking country.

In other news: water is wet.

And on the other hand, Trump now claims that China interfered in the 2020 election. Because Hunter Biden. How to separate fake news from real news? Easy, don’t listen to the MAGA admin.

Department of War

You probably also say Gulf of America, hmm?

Anyhow, that alone says enough.

The pic reminds me of a youtuber who debunks SpaceX bullshit almost exclusively. I don’t remember the specifics, but he claimed that the v3 seen here is basically a fantasy.

Seriously, do not trust Musk to build something that works reliably under high stress. Esp. do not entrust human beings to anything Musk builds.

You had me in the first sentence.

tl;dr: SpaceX might be good enough to launch relatively cheap equipment into space but that’s about it.

Yeah well. We talked about it for ages, but now we have it straight from the horse’s mouth. I just hope it sends the appropriate signals to the people whose job it is to complain and ultimately prevent unconstitutional behavior.

You know hope, this tiny helpless thing that just does not want to go away?

Your comment sounds like it’s from 2017.

They were worried it might cause unrest. Because that clearly hasn’t happened anyhow.

Not everybody behaves like it yet, but that ship has sailed!

Shoutout to Evan Vucci who made the photo that heads the article. It encapsulates the whole situation perfectly: The Don behaves predictively like an angry, lying troll, making smugly grinning Netanyahu’s wishes come true.

They really deserve each other. I just wish somebody gave them a sandbox so they wouldn’t have to destroy the world.

Again? They just can’t help themselves, can they.

PS: I don’t care if the “actual missile” is not in the pic, they shouldn’t do that, and the later retraction is an admission of guilt.

PPS: could’ve been on purpose though. 50/50 🤷

Please, never work in a hospital!

OK but how do English speakers say Kochwäsche?
