Then, to borrow a phrase popularized by one of the names they're probably highlighting with a Sharpie, lock them up.

If missing $400 million would have them shut down, what's that $14 billion endowment for? Show? It accrued 11.5% last year. That's three times what Trump was threatening to not give them

I'm pretty sure everybody on these websites knows they're more similar to enlisted soldiers than to Vladimir Putin.

It's about the same number of incidents (plane crashes, death agnostic), it's just that a week into the new admin, one of them had the most deaths since the autopilot that aims for the ground crashed those planes in 2019.

But since the other side is willing to just outright lie, it's not exactly a high crime not to highlight that technically it's the same number of crashes.

The optics the recently indicted (and later hastily pardoned) mayor being one of the guys perp walking the sympathetic suspect probably didn't help them either.

You want to know why there are Germans? Seems like we should be asking you that question, Quintili Vare.

Too late. I already jumped ship because of Copilot's "Recall", and I'm not interested in going through a round of partitioning the hard drive and installing a new OS so soon.

The way all these companies have ditched gay rights really clarifies how much of an empty gesture the month of rainbow banners was (and how much of an empty gesture this probably is). But I think I liked it better when they did an empty gesture in support of gay rights rather than against them

"They" is the car manufacturers. And yes, they were promised by Apartheid Willy Wonka.

And they fell for it. Partly because this happened back in like, 2010, when tech still felt promising and fun and partly (mostly?) because they wanted to.

Ehh, they were promised that full self driving was only a few years away. If that had been the case, touchscreens would be perfectly fine. But a decade of "only two more years, we swear" later, it's time for the manufacturers to get back to work on AM instead of FM.

If he had just never started posting, he'd have such a better life.
