1·3 days agoWhat if the goal isn’t to win the game of rock, paper, scissors, but to give their buddies chances to win bets? The whole US attack on Iran looks more like that than anything else.
It is, but one that a shocking fraction of significant left-of-center writers are still on.
If you want to avoid them, there is some coverage in the Financial Times but this gift link expires after a few hundred clicks.
He’s talking about US conservatism, which has given lip service to classical liberalism, but is anything but
Some parts of the DHS are useful things on their own. Having customs agents makes sense. Trying to help people after disasters too large for individual states to respond makes sense too. Those things antedate the Patriot Act, and should to be restructured, rather than eliminated.
The bigger problem is that they’re using LLMs to rewrite safety regulations and produce safety documentation
Probably because the Republicans have been trying to use antisemitism as a cudgel to attack the left, so this makes them look bad right now
Never done metal, but it looks like what people like for it is called a “fiber laser”
They seem to go for about $1400 but have not shopped around or tried to pick up a used one

He can read when he wants to. The problem is that Trump has only ever been seen to read one book:
Last April [Note: article published in 1990] perhaps in a surge of Czech nationalism, Ivana Trump told her lawyer Michael Kennedy that from time to time her husband reads a book of Hitler’s collected speeches, My New Order, which he keeps in a cabinet by his bed. Kennedy now guards a copy of My New Order in a closet at his office, as if it were a grenade. Hitler’s speeches, from his earliest days up through the Phony War of 1939, reveal his extraordinary ability as a master propagandist.
“Did your cousin John give you the Hitler speeches?” I asked Trump.
Trump hesitated. “Who told you that?”
“I don’t remember,” I said.
“Actually, it was my friend Marty Davis from Paramount who gave me a copy of Mein Kampf, and he’s a Jew.” (“I did give him a book about Hitler,” Marty Davis said. “But it was My New Order, Hitler’s speeches, not Mein Kampf. I thought he would find it interesting. I am his friend, but I’m not Jewish.”)
Later, Trump returned to this subject. “If I had these speeches, and I am not saying that I do, I would never read them.”
The scale of the science cuts doesn’t come near to paying for the war or the tax cuts for the rich. The US is borrowing huge amounts of money to cover both. While borrowing money can make sense, particularly when used to pay for research and infrastructure which will ultimately increase economic growth, this is at a scale which actually carries very real economic risks.
With the current Supreme Court, the law is whatever they make up.
A lot of other states, about half the country by population, follow the California vehicle emissions rules.
Because they desperately need any kind of materiel they can get, and they’re hoping not to be cut off

They don’t have any real power. So its going to be on us to pull that off
You rather mangled the URL there. Here’s a simple gift link
They’re quite trained. It’s just that they’re trained to levy war against America
