Someone owns stock in gun companies and wants a panic buying surge - which happens any time a politician suggests gun control and before every election.

Someone owns stock in gun companies and wants a panic buying surge - which happens any time a politician suggests gun control and before every election.
So the economic ruling class is scared the filthy peasants are no longer responding well to "let them eat cake"? Good
I guess god thought it was part of the ineffable plan to give an entire school full of kids and teachers lifelong psychological trauma and life altering injuries too.
It's amazing, I didn't think a face could get more punchable.
Could we stop making everything worse? www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pp9M...
Or how the crew of Big D grieved the loss of Tasha Yarr, with renewed waves of grief whenever something triggered a memory of her years later.
AI does have value, but the current signal:noise ratio is way off the mark. Shotgunning AI at everything is counter productive, invasive, relies heavily on exploiting user data, and the technology lacks the ethical guardrails needed for widespread application. Most AI is glorified spellcheck.
And yet it's so inconsistent at this task that Microsoft felt compelled to add a disclaimer that AI will be inconsistent and inaccurate. There's a reason 96% of AI ventures are failing and over 80% of mobile users don't want or care about AI. Welcome to the .com Bubble II, Electric Boogaloo
Is this the same Copilot Microsoft rolled out for Excel with a disclaimer not to use Copilot if you care about accuracy or consistency of results? www.pcgamer.com/software/ai/...
Do not cite the Old Magic to me, AI-Witch, I was there when it was written There were good things about the 80s, and a lot of bad. Rewriting history is one of the most dangerous things we can do. I see what false-nostalgia has done and I won't let myself fall into that trap. Forward is the only way
That's it, I'm done with the news. The Onion is all I need anymore.
What’s the term for this again? Ah, yes. “Snowflakes.”
I feel like "The Incident" should be capitalized, especially if we are talking about a kid seeing that movie.
Dude, that film traumatized me as an adult! Blink if you need me to call Social Services.... just blink.... I'll wait.
It was a toss up between this and The Dark Crystal for me
The Dark Crystal. Skeksis are the stuff of nightmares.
If this was any other country the entire world would be sanctioning them into oblivion for war crimes.
As RFK Jr. promotes a new initiative to find the causes of autism, ProPublica found that he has taken aim at research trying to do just that. “We need to stop trusting the experts,” he said.
5th stage - get out of bed and make coffee.
Ooh, that Celica is sweet! It's one of my favorite cars to just drive around in Forza.
Probably T'pol
If you have 9 Nazis at a table and someone who isn't a Nazi sits down to drink, how many Nazis are at the table? Ten. I don't care how many "eyeballs" are on Xitter, mine won't be among them. Also, bots don't have eyeballs.
Future historian: Well, the South started sending its National Guard troops into Washington, D.C. because a 19-year-old named Big Balls was assaulted by two 15-year-olds. Please stop laughing this is serious
I love that we are back in the 1980s where electrical devices can be "turbo".
It's barely alive, do you take me for some kind of p’takh?!
The GOP in a nutshell.
So Native Americans are anti-American because they oppose a non-American company strip mining America?
Rio Tinto isn't even an American company.
The Miranda is the Space DC3/C47 or Space UH-1 Iroquois ("Huey"). It may be old, but can't be beat for reliability or number of hours on the spaceframe. If you just need a ship that works and does the dirty jobs without complaint, you give that mission to the Miranda Class.
I still want to see a Miranda-class hero ship series. Give the girl some glory!
I'm such a sucker for support and 3rd Rate ships, scifi and otherwise. The little ship against big odds makes for better storytelling. There's a reason I'm a fan of corvettes, frigates, and destroyer-escorts.
I can't disagree, the Intrepid class remains stunning.
That's not a bug, it's a feature. www.youtube.com/shorts/YF6MD...
I mean, have you *met* Trek fans? No one hates Trek like Trek fans, we -- I mean THEY will get upset at anything.
It narrows it down to episodes with Quark.
Where is the queue?
Hot damn, I want it. I just would need to to round up to a cool million and build a shop on the property.
Woah, that's... um... okay. Yeah. Some decisions were made that were... uh, let's just stick with "some decisions were made".
"Before we get into how to find a coffee you’ll love, let’s talk about a big payoff from a daily coffee habit: It may help you live longer." I have news for CR - me having coffee helps other people live longer.
I notice that no one has a problem with mail-in ballots in Red states and counties. Utah, for example, has had mail ballots since 2013 and Trump has never accused them of election fraud. Apparently election fraud only happens when he loses key swing states and never in GOP strongholds.
GENIUS.
What's the bet this ends up sharing a lot of parts with a future Jeep Gladiator? As long as the Jeep doesn't lose the solid front end...
Someone updated this xkcd: xkcd.com/2347/
The moment he named his platform “Truth Social” we were headed this way.
Will loose joints be rolled with the pages of the Epstein File?
Age of first marriage is also up starting around that time; more mature marriages tend to be more stable than those that start in the teens or early 20s. You also have more women in the workforce starting in the 90s, especially in higher paying jobs resulting in less financial dependence on partners
IPV was a problem then and still remains one today. In the late 90s you were only about 15-20 years away from women being able to get a credit card without their husband's permission - and women were still regularly asked if their husband approved of major financial choices.
Marriages used to "work" because women were property and financially controlled by their husbands; they couldn't even get a bank account without their husband's permission. Intimate Partner Violence was an expected way of managing conflict, and even joked about in popular media. "Good ol' days"
The Klingons do a pretty good job with gender and identity. It makes me wonder how sexual orientation works in their society since that aspect has never been explored.
Who is Patton Rider, and why are you stealing his lunch?!
...a decision that has no foreseeable consequences that will come back to bite us in the ass later.
Great choice - you can make a good living, you are outsource-proof, AI-proof, and entering a profession that is going to be in high demand with limited supply of experienced people.
It is the easiest and the fastest; but I don't offer sympathy to parents who stuck their kids in front of devices since the age of 3 and abandoned the hard job of teaching morality, ethics, and accountability.
Julian Bashir.
If memory serves, it was originally going to be called the Motorola Communicator - but they were told they couldn't do that due to copyright issues.
Chuck Yeager deserved so much better than that horrible kitbash. Like... a really *good* kitbash.
"Gemini, call my marriage therapist and move my next appointment to this week."
But is he the last one?
I'd call them Frakin' Toasters, but it's too complementary.
"We've run out of space for screens inside the car." "Well, there's all this space on the outside..."
This is now my headcannon. Like, somehow they fed super-heavy elements into the star to accelerate its lifecycle.
Follow the Treksky list.
Keep the two distinct in your head.
Just one LP, as a treat. Free shipping over $100? Ohhh, limited edition preorder section! Sure, why not get colored vinyl, just for fun? Fuck. I wonder what flavor ramen I have left for dinner?
A library or display nook for memorabilia, models, old helmets, that kind of thing.
I don't think so, I'm sure ComicSands.com has some kind of contract for him to promote a certain number of stories per day - it's pretty much the only thing this account ever links to.
Frakin' Toasters
Phlox, that was the same reaction I had in 1996
There's a big assumption in that headline that it ended. Assuming it did end: Narcissists can't sustain relationships that don't feed the narcissism; and you can't put two in the same room without them trying to eat each other - that's what we saw with Musk and Trump.
It's becoming self-sustaining AI slop, they are just feeding off each other in and endless feedback loop of repeated garbage - an echo-chamber at the speed of light
That's why it was so important, Data displayed all the safety Tasha needed to begin rediscovering her sexuality. He had no ego, made no demands, and was capable of being selfless in bed. He wouldn't pout it she asked to stop, and the relationship wouldn't be harmed. I wish that was explored more.
And a man who has never looked in the bedside table drawer... Machines have been taking his job for a while now, he just doesn't realize it. 😆
You can't ride that track like you do a normal track day, with no runoffs you have to treat it like a remote mountain road. That means dialing it back to 80%.
Honestly, none of them. I'd rather take a motorcycle - but mixing cars and bikes in a track environment is a great way to be turned into SPAM smeared over a wide area.
Remember when Trump gutted the government agencies responsible for reporting key statistics necessary to make policy decisions and then demanded they make the numbers look good? Remember that over the next several years, because it's probably worse than is being reported.
Second sentence in the article: "I always had in my contracts that I wouldn't kiss another woman on screen,"
This one kind of goes both ways, it sounds like he's had that in his contract - so the show runners aren't reading their actors' contracts either?
He's in the business of selling Contrary Opinions - this is self preservation and being worried about his own hide.
Hey, Austin-area folks: help ID these three dudes who assaulted a trans woman, her friends and even a good samaritan who tried to get them to go away at Barton Springs. www.instagram.com/p/DMq22NstA9...
We keep getting told to turn our thermostat warmer when it's hot. Good thing the datacenters are gobbling up all the electricity so some kid can generate images of women with 4 boobs.
A guy from Reno was boasting about how the city sat atop the largest aquafer in N America, so the are could keep developing. He seemed genuinely surprised when I told him that was a consumable, non-renewable resource.
I think this just means that the GOP knows what's going on but refuses to admit it because it's easier to enable rather than take accountability for our own policy decisions - she's just dumb enough to say the word publicly and put them in an uncomfortable spot.
The circle is complete.
Yes, "toxic empathy" is surely something Jesus would have warned against. The same man who summarized the entire Talmud as "the greatest of these commandments is Love." 🙄
youtu.be/2TxhcXHmpQQ?...
Excellent! Because I can't wait to say that we are Turbo-fucked in a department meeting; such good mental imagery with that one.
Can I start calling things "Turbo" again like it's the late 80s or early 90s?
I saw the Malort Espressotini and thought "Stef needs to see this one"
Now tell us how many people are working two jobs to make ends meet, and how many have given up on the labor market. Seriously, please cover this data.
Apparently bribes are good for greasing the wheels. If only we had a word for that...
www.npr.org/2025/07/24/n... From the party of States' Rights™: Overrule local policy, remove social services and safety nets, then criminalize your victims into private prisons for profit. It won't just be immigrants in concentration camps this time next year.
Tomorrow United Health will announce a series of high profile conferences to be held at Trump hotels and this will all go away.
asia.nikkei.com/Business/Tec... AI is just not ready to be trusted with critical decisions & information. "Go fast, break stuff" worked when the only thing at stake was your startup, but this is an existential crisis and humanity's understanding of reality is at stake. Techbros are not trustworthy
