Lordy, I hope there are tapes.

Sounds like malicious prosecution to me, let’s get them some (or all) of that $1.776b fund. They can put it to good use in the community instead of giving it to duly-convicted insurrectionists.

Wanted: a cheap, multipotent treatment for viral infections. Must be able to handle new or unfamiliar strains, or (even better) a broad range of viruses – whatever comes along, in other words. Must be impervious to viral attempts to evolve resistance to it.

And if the grad students you hired for peanuts who actually do all the work can’t find that, well, just poison them.

Hmm, I wonder who’ll profit from this drop and subsequent spike when he reneges by Friday?

This is very funny, because the kind of people who want Trump’s face smeared all over their official documents are probably not the kind of people who do a lot of international travel.

By the end of this thing I fully expect Trump to hand-deliver them the plans for the bomb and claim that it’s a win because he didn’t allow them to develop it themselves.

“The US will never allow the Great State of Iran to develop Nuclear, so now that we, along with all our allies, have destroyed their Electrical Plants and Bridges to Make Iran Great Again, our Chief Negotiator (and my favorite Son-In-Law) Jasred Kishnerr has agreed to give them Half of our Nuclear Arsenal, so they never have to develop the Nuclear themselves. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!”

-Trump, probably

“Well yes, we’ve already had one constitutional crisis today, but what about second constitutional crisis?” -The DOJ, probably

It sure would be nice if these assholes could take ONE FUCKING DAY off from actively shielding child rapists, subverting the rule of law, destroying faith in government, or undermining the people’s interests. I know the firehose of bullshit is the whole point, but god damn.

Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we!

It’s a cropped image of KKKaroline Leavitt, Trump’s press secretary, who demanded it be removed from wire services: https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/unflattering-photo-yanked-karoline-leavitt-065836919.html

On Monday, Trump expanded a threat he had made if Iran refuses to open the vital Strait of Hormuz shipping passage, writing on social media the U.S. would not only destroy Iranian electric plants and oil wells but also “possibly all desalinization plants!”

It’s journalistic malpractice not to note that such actions constitute war crimes: the deliberate targeting of civilian infrastructure is considered a war crime not only under the Geneva Conventions but also the US’s Uniform Code of Military Justice.

Ship all the Trump-worshipping sycophants in this administration off to the Hague. Expel any member of Congress that voted to allow this illegal war to continue. Then ship them off to the Hague as well.

They say only to speak good of the dead. Chuck Norris is dead. Good.

Fantastic news! Let’s hope they manage to fulfill those orders before Taiwan runs out of energy reserves, because according to the Taipei Times, they currently only have enough to last until uhh…the end of the month.

Overall, energy supply for this month is secure, and the government is continuing efforts to ensure sufficient supply for next month

Again, just phenomenal.

Good. Don’t vote. If you were so stupid/racist/sexist/oblivious to history as to vote for Trump in 2024 you should not be voting at all.

Trump and the Republicans (who only exist as his personal ball-washers to sanewash and rubberstamp everything he does; they are indistinguishable at this point) documented all the policies they were going to pursue in the Project 2025 policy document, which was readily available to read before the election. You were warned about this loudly and repeatedly.

Trump’s behavior is also a known quantity. I suspect you did not magically appear on Earth to vote for him in 2024 having never experienced the reality of his first term, so you also should have had the benefit of knowing what he is like.

You therefore knew (or should have known) what he was like and what he wanted to do. If you knew, congratulations on getting exactly what you voted for. If not, you’re a low-information voter. You shouldn’t be voting at all because you are, at best, blindly picking a choice that everyone else has to live with too. So stay home. Don’t vote. Then at least nobody else has to suffer with the consequences of your ignorance.

We’re going back to drawing on maps with sharpies.

I think you’re 100% right, and boy, this piece made me big mad. Yet another outlet breathlessly publishing fucking nonsense for a ghoul, who by uncritically publishing said ghoul’s dire warning of the imminent birth of a superintelligent malign(?) entity, serves as his unpaid marketing firm. Axios should be embarrassed. If anyone who wasn’t the head of an LLM company spouted this drivel, they’d be locked away in a padded room and Axios would rightly be called out for exacerbating the mental health crisis of a paranoid schizophrenic.

The whole essay reads like, “Here at Anthropic, we’re doing our best to create the Torment Nexus, but if anybody else were to successfully create the Torment Nexus, that would represent an existential risk for humanity. We’re doing our best to create it first, so please give us more money. To save humanity. From the Torment Nexus that we created.” It would be utter lunacy if he actually believed it.

Ah, see, you think you heard that MAGA was going to “release the Epstein files” but what they actually said was “we’re going to release the Epstein pedophiles.” Yeah, they’re letting everyone involved with him off the hook.

This is a real can of worms, as you can see from what other people have said. Let me chime in with two things: first, it depends on the partition and filesystem type, which usually depend on which distribution you’re using. For example, Debian, Ubuntu, and Linux Mint default to the ext4 filesystem, which is easy to grow and shrink. Most Fedora derivatives use btrfs, but Fedora Server uses xfs, which cannot be shrunk. So you’ll need to know what filesystem your system is running in order to proceed. The safest thing to do if you go this route is probably to backup everything and reinstall the OS, picking the new size from the installer. However, depending on the filesystem, resizing may be possible. Regardless, this is potentially dangerous and the first thing you do should definitely be to back. up. everything.

And second, if you’ve got a big filesystem that’s mostly empty, the easiest way to solve this may be to simply copy whatever’s filling up your smaller filesystem to the bigger one, rename the original, then symlink the location on the bigger filesystem to its original location on the smaller one. Then test to make sure whatever you changed didn’t break anything. If everything worked, you can delete the renamed original. So for example, from the terminal, I’d do:

# Assume the smaller filesystem contains /home and the larger is at /mnt/bigdisk
$ cp -a /home/USER/.local/share/Steam /mnt/bigdisk
$ mv /home/USER/.local/share/Steam /home/USER/.local/share/Steam.orig
$ ln -s /mnt/bigdisk/Steam /home/USER/.local/share/Steam

Even though this is probably what I would do, a word of caution: don’t do this if the stuff in question is required for the system to boot. And if you don’t know, don’t try it (or let it be a Learning Experience)! Generally, things under your home directory are safe, so if Steam’s installed there, that should be fine. Good luck!

Some of the most irony-poisoned bullshit I’ve ever heard, given all the socialism that businesses are benefiting from https://www.cato.org/policy-analysis/corporate-welfare-federal-budget-0
