Anyone who applies should just cite Biden executive orders. After all they will just be feeding this into an LLM for review. They likely aren’t smart enough to prompt it to look only for Trump EOs

Even their comments game is on fire. From the War of 1812 candle

A five-star product review dated 07/27/22 from a user named “King George III.” The review title is “Great candle.” The review text reads: “My favorite part is when the seat of power of the traitorous Yankees is burned into oblivion. Smells like victory.”

The sub title of the article should be “Bluesky doesn’t have a bot problem yet. But we think it should!” It ignores the bots that flood other platforms sparking “growth” and fueling toxic algorithmic “engagement”.

It all adds up now - GI Joe was actually a very oblique reference to patriots fighting ICE - all written by someone with knowledge of the economics of the British Raj

Traegers are great smokers but I always recommend BGE if you want an upgrade. At least if you like steaks. Can’t beat a setup that can go at 250 for 20 hours or be cracked up to 850+ for a blue steak. If you don’t like steak then stick with the Traeger - less work.

Not totally marketing vapor - some beautiful marbling on the ribeye I cooked up the other night (turned out delicious but actually too rich for a main). But 100% agree on the chili.

Ironic too since the family business allows him nowhere near it - they know he is a crank and don’t want him around anymore. Heir douchery seems to be a theme with this admin - maybe it’s a recessive gene

Why do you think that? My gut (and brain) agree with you but I’m no expert. Is it because they haven’t laid off enough competent staff yet and so there would be a leak if they tried to fluff the numbers? Just curious

I’m not an economist but I don’t think there actually would be a trade deficit here. If he paid 24 carrots for that gold spray paint then technically there is no trade deficit since equal values of goods changed hands, right?

A satirical oil painting in a Dickensian style depicts a smug, balding clerk smirking as he files papers in a dimly lit office. He is surrounded by labeled drawers and folders with absurd and politically charged titles, including ‘Jan 6th Pardon Slips,’ ‘People I Want to Deport / Ex-Wives,’ ‘Musk Baby Mamas,’ ‘College Persecutions,’ ‘Presidential NFT Concepts,’ ‘Twitter Guidelines Fund,’ ‘Unicorn Smallpox Report,’ and ‘Superhero Union Contracts.’ A candle flickers beside him, casting shadows on a watchful eagle perched ominously in the background.
