Thanks!

Nevermind the decal — i want to know what model of car that is?

Exploding so much that still nothing has happened!

This week, anyway. Next week Joe will flip flop again.

I’m replying to the “100 years ago” guy talking about halfpence.

Doubtful, considering money back then was pinned to something like gold or silver.

Some excellent points in the replies. I withdraw my statement!

Disney begged him to come back after retiring. So that’s the bill. The question is — was it worth it?

I read today that Netflix is buying only some of WBD’s assets. They don’t want any of Discovery’s reality programming. Even Netflix knows that stuff is worthless trash.

There can be. But we are getting to the point of no return where we are going to have to do this. Water is becoming the new oil.

We could do things like not sell our ground water to Nestle to bottle up and send away. And we could charge data centers what the water they use is worth. Gray water for toilets and irrigation is also a thing.

But again, all of that takes competent leadership that believes in infrastructure, and money (that’s currently being spent elsewhere like oil subsidies and ICE recruiting ads).

Dying croplands and dehydrated people are expensive too. We can somehow afford to build crude oil pipelines from Canada to Houston Texas, but desalination is always “too expensive”.

It’s just a matter of priorities. California built a desalination plant in the 90s but then mothballed it. Thankfully they’ve come to their senses, refurbished it, and opened a number of additional plants since then.

Desalination is a thing. The only bankruptcy for a lot of these places is the lack of leadership and investment into providing water.

Trump wasn’t really rich. He was just good at getting loans. He might actually have some real cash now, considering all the grifts he’s been running while in office.

Radar needs pettings, scritches, and extra treats to help him deal with this upsetting news.

Just took? Have you been asleep the past nine months?

I usually stand with the EFF, but I don’t get this latest crusade they’re on. Copyright is an important protection for artists.

Sure, it’s been abused by extending its previous limits, and by these ridiculous DCMA takedown notices. But it doesn’t “kill competition”.

Vertical integration. Megamergers. Those are the kinds of things that actually kill competition.

Just a shakedown in hopes of a settlement. And JPM will probably cave instead of letting it go to court. Which is stupid, because if you let him have money now, he will just come back for more later. Blackmailers never stop.

It’s too bad theres no kind of “truth in labeling” enforcement over the term NEWS. Most of the stuff labeled as news these days is actually opinion, or paid advertisements.

The FTC and FCC could probably pay off the national debt in the US just from these fines alone.

I wish. Regrettably it doesn’t apply to Fox News because its a broadcast-TV-only rule.

Honestly, all this does is keep these shows from booking any politician onto their late night talk show. Considering how rarely that happens now, it’s really a waste of time and effort to “enforce”.

Yay more space junk!

Maybe Sasquatch is a Wookie who got stranded on our planet.
