ED 209. Enforcement Droid Series 209 is a self-sufficient law enforcement robot. 209 is currently programmed for urban pacification but that is only the beginning. If he were 1/2 as smart as Dick here we would be in worse trouble than we are already in. youtu.be/TYsulVXpgYg?...

If he says he starting to crave brains tomorrow, everyone should leave as quickly as possible.
Results so stunningly clear they inspired this classic xkcd (xkcd.com/2400/):
I'm sorry, but genetic engineering is getting out of hand.
Yay!
Wow there are 7 Rite Aid stores in the whole of California. Little under 10 years ago there were at least 7 within 20 minutes driving from my house.
This ‘blue states closed schools too long’ narrative is becoming increasingly entrenched in the Polite Center but it’s arguable at best. Republican states had far more deaths during COVID and their students have roughly comparable learning loss.
If only someone could create an inter-spliced story of the drug trade/use ala The Wire with the fraud and skimming in financial services that shows how the financial crimes hurt society more than drugs do because it isn't as visible.
Even if this prosecutor was a unicorn who really believed that spending trillions to cage the poorest people in society and separate them from their families for 50 years was the way to solve drug overdose, the emphasis on the intentions of individuals within these bureaucracies is propaganda.
Allow the states, groups or individuals to do enforcement.
If Senate is won, do not allow senators like Manchin or Sinema to block everything they don't like. Shame those that put up road blocks. Get rid of the filibuster to pass 80/20 Dem issues. 1st anti-corruption legislation. Forbid stock trading by lawmakers, emoluments enforcement mechanisms to start.

Good night and not good luck to him.
Built to torture their elderly parents. 100% taxation is too good for them.
Godzilla i then the sequel would be i^2 or -1.
All of the leadership in the executive deserve to go to prison. Can't get them for treason. Unsure what law was broken and what to charge them with. Sabotage? Undermining the country? Willful destruction of the gov't? If we could link any deaths, depraved-indifference murder?
Menlo Park, Los Gatos, Saratoga, Marin, Mill Valley, Los Altos Hills, Cupertino. All the above and more.
Lots of people on this website seem to be praying for the health of all three men right now. It’s great to see so many people putting politics aside to recognize these cherished elder statesmen.
What happens when more and more defendants start pushing for trials when the credibility of the police officers or gov't officials is seen as suspect?
Buy a few houses in Atherton or Palo Alto, tear them down and build a 20 story apartment building.

I'm just hoping he isn't craving brains.
Why would his business partner oversee his care?
No one asked for it but mine: I didn't mine the approach in 1967's Casino Royale. Bond is camp and should be parodied.
All of this is just my stream of consciousness of what I have in running around my head.
Yarvin not Garvin.
Whoever can create it and actually get it through to the massive population that wants to fight back will be the best person to lead it. I hope we have multiple people that rise up with varying visions but the same ideas regarding values, morality and how to make a future that works.
The right has had a vision of nostalgia as the direction the future should be. Go back to when you believed things were better. We can't become the techno optimists I see the abundance crowd taking that leads to Musk and Garvin nihilism & true destruction. i don't know how to create that narrative.
We need an overarching story that becomes part of the whole of society's narrative to become infused the public see our views as a light about a positive future, not utopia, but a better future due to intact democracy, functioning institutions and an economic system that helps the vast majority.
Yep all of it. Just wanted to point out the doomer conclusions that there will be masked feds at every polling place. Subtlerer actions will be taken specific locs thus we need to be strategic & communicate fighting back & reassure people the vast majority of locs will be the same as every election.
They are leaving "Thank you, sir" stories and flowers at it.
My back of the envelope math was pretty good!
Why are post-apocalyptic films so popular? Psychology tells us why.
Adding to the reasons why I'm staying out of the States for now...
Deffo - I'm very happy to have good allies stateside and we continue the struggle shoulder to shoulder and take advantage of the leverage of being able to support from outside of the reach of the regime too (aka. The free world)
152 million votes approximately 2024. Using a really high avg, but say 1000 people vote at each polling place. There would be 152,000 locations, but let's assume 30% vote by mail, you still need over 100,000 polling places. I don't think we have enough feds to go to a significant proportion of these
I do think both Frank and Dr. Frankenstein are monsters but not "the" monster.
New Stephen King horror just dropped.
All we have here is our determination, grit and willingness to sacrifice to changes things, starting now so that we have a future come 2026, 2028 and beyond.
*Ozymandias. I like the visuals of this. But something's missing. The zeal of a Pol Pot? the blood lust of a Hitler/Stalin? The Veidt character in Watchmen didn't seem to be out for blood, just control. RFK Jr. is the biker gang in Last House on the Left with a Deathwish righteousness.
Thinks of himself as Oxymandias with the intelligence of Goofy, the wealth of Scrooge McDuck with his morals and the opinions of Marie Antoinette about the commoners.
This is needed for those impacted by ICE/CBP as well. This should be as well or even better documented than the interment camps of Japanese Americans during WW2.
The red states with higher crime and poverty want to think all the blue states are worse than them. Playing into their biases hasn't hurt them with their base, yet.
Judge Sooknanan: And again, I'm not going to force you to respond sooner, but if you need five days, my order is going to stay in place. I have done all I can to try to make a decision based on what's in front of me. The government hasn't put anything in front of me to counter plaintiff's narrative

The point shouldn't be who is better than anyone else and should get moved ahead. The whole system needs to be revamped so it doesn't take anyone more than 5 years, from start to finish. Use resources wisely. More people to process means less need for patrolling the border.
granted approval just for the application. It will current take over twice as long to complete the process. This is nuts. Argue everyone hates long bureaucratic processes, we need to streamline these things and make them quicker.
If Jesus came back and saw this shit he'd make what he did to those moneylenders in the temple look like brunch
And I just don't know why Dems can't capitalize on it by arguing about values. a. Immigrants are a net positive for the country and our citizens. b. Everyone hates bureaucracy c. The more people who can come in legally and faster reduces the pressure at the border. And it goes on and on and on.
Release the Christen!
and Laura Loomer supreme court justice.
It was pointed out the application was granted 7 years ago. The idea still holds our immigration system needs streamlining and made easier to come here legally and take less time to complete the process.
Knew I probably got the fine details and nomenclature incorrect. Same concept applies 7 years after granting the application is more than enough time to process it in a working system.
And how the system is so broken that he was granted a U visa 7 years ago and he still doesn't have permanent residency w/ the job he is doing and he was useful to the gov't prosecution of people. Make it easier to become a citizen/permanent resident w/ shorter timelines. Not just for him.
7 years since being granted a U visa and the system can't get him permanent residency in that time period.
This firefighter arrived in the US at age 4, has been here for 19 years, was on track to legal status, and was on a crew trying to contain a major blaze (in Washington state, vs Oregon, fwiw.) h/t @joshuajfriedman.com www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Can we please get off this plane?
I keep coming back to this New Yorker cartoon:
2 things pop out, the first of course how evil this admin is but how broken the immigration system really is, since it has been 7 years from the granting of the u visa. In that time period the system was unable to finalize permanent residency w/ the job he is doing, and the vetting that is done.
I spent seven years writing a book on this and she just… said it in three succinct paragraphs to politico.
You mention Screamin' Jay you have to show Mystery Train and that red suit coat and tie.
I mentioned Bowie in John Landis' Into the Night in a reply but the one I truly love is Henry Rollins in Heat.
John Landis' Into the Night was tonally a mess but I did like Bowie in it.
Should have it say "A'right let's get 'em."
I think Trump has been a zombie for a decade or more. Now he is finally rotting.
Is she competing with JD to push him down the elevator shaft?
Mick Voice: "Alright let's get them!"
SCOTUS probably will make things worse, so the joke is solid and well worth enjoying.
also, "if we could put you in camps and/or murder you there, we would." My differing "political view" is I think I have a right to not have political violence carried out against me or my loved ones.
Her impartiality is impeccable!
In history we had the Know Nothing Party and we had the Do Nothing Congress, now we have the No Ambition Congress.
She waived Hegseth through out of fear of what Trump would do to her reelection campaign and isn't even running. What an abject betrayal of sexual assault victims.
We need long memories on this one. She will try to rehab herself and come back.

BREAKING: Social Security Administration chief data officer and whistle-blower Charles Borges has resigned after bombshell report that SSA put highly-sensitive data at risk. He sent out an email to colleagues moments ago. Here is the text of his email shared with me:

When interviewing RFK Jr. going through my head the entire time would be: "Why the fuck do I even have to talk to this POS? The sooner this is over the sooner I can take a shower."
