In office: Ha, that's not what I said. I said I'm auntie billionaire. Like a joke, I'm the loving auntie for the billionaires. I'll feed them and protect them from the bad bad socialists!

I see the whales, is this close to San Diego? Also known in English as a "whales vagina."

Blah blah blah blah blah.

That's all this is. Talk.

When it comes time for action they'll vote no like they literally just did. This is all about trying to have their way and keep their base.

He has one single criteria for this stuff: did the Biden administration do it?

Ok, undo it.

:(

The age says it all. They want decades of a guaranteed rubber stamp, they couldn't possibly care less about any merit other than "will they let me do what I want?"

I would only download stuff I wasn't going to buy anyway, but if I do actually like it enough I then go and buy it, except if it's Nintendo. They can go fuck themselves in every way possible.

It happens all the time, I wouldn't say it's corruption, it's more hypocrisy. It's ok when they do it, but not ok when Democrats do it.

It's about what's relevant to the bill anyway, an amendment about Epstein isn't really relevant to the bill or the subject of the bill as far as I know so the Republicans wouldn't be totally wrong to say as much, they'd just be hypocrites but they always are so that's nothing new. The Democrats were doing it to get Republicans "on record" saying "no" so they could use it against them in the midterm elections, but I don't see that helping at all when the Republicans can just cry about process and their friendly media will back them up.

If I understand correctly this was a committee that was voting on pushing the GENIUS act forward so that it could then go on to the larger vote that would actually determine whether it became law.

The Democrats in this committee tried to add an amendment that required the release of the Epstein files so the vote was on the changes to the bill which the Republicans voted no and will just go on fox news to complain about Democrats not using the proper channels of legislation to get what they want.

There is literally no reason to go against Trump. They don't need the voters anymore, their seats up for reelection in the midterms are fairly safe and even then they can just cry about proper process not being followed, but if it was they'd gladly vote to release it.

Incoming hypocrisy!

"We'd gladly release it, but the method chosen was not appropriate. It should be voted on as a separate matter not as an amendment to the matter at hand."

Continues to use reconciliation packages to vote on GOP spending wishlists that can avoid a filibuster instead of the appropriate methods...

So like yeah, all that, but come on eggs were so expensive!

A little WWIII and some fascism just as a treat is well worth keeping Kamala out of office, she laughs for Christs sake!

"Listen Billy, you aren't getting it. The cruelty is the point. We're not supposed to be "helping people" because these aren't people! Did you even read the handbook? It's the one called Mein Kampf: Work Brings Freedom. We handed them out with the mandatory swastika that I noticed you aren't wearing."

 

US media company Paramount Global has agreed to pay $16 million (£13.5m) to settle a legal dispute with US President Donald Trump regarding an interview it broadcast on CBS with former Vice President Kamala Harris.

As usual corporations looking for special treatment, hoping to have their merger accepted, refuse to fight the fascist...

I wish someone would sue Fox for fucks sake..

91°F (32.7°C) in the factory I work at.

The law states "all factories must maintain a reasonable temperature and humidity."

Nowhere is reasonable ever defined. I am mildly infuriated. And very hot lol

Edit: 94° (34.4C) now and this post has made it close to the top of "Hot"... The gods are having a laugh lol

 

25 minute exposure of NGC 2264 taken with a seestar s50. Testing the new denoise function added in the most resent seestar firmware update.

No further post processing so colors seem to be a bit off as a result of the denoise feature, but otherwise an amazing result as most images from the seestar s50 contain a lot of RGB noise!

 
 

Hey Lemmy! Time to do some digging!

I was sent a link from a friend about some Totally Cool™ guy who has close ties to JD Vance: Curtis Yarvin. Anyone aware of this guy and his desires? I won't put the link in here as my last post was removed because of it, but a comment within the thread is copied below.

Apparently Japanese media covered the story as was posted to Reddit, but there doesn't seem to be too much talk of this in the US.

From a comment in the reddit discussion: “Curtis Yarvin is a far-right ‘intellectual’ that wants to end democracy and install what I can only really describe as cyberpunk feudalism. He’s suggested turning the United States into a patchwork of corporate fiefdoms ruled with absolute impunity by CEOs, as well as putting mandatory ankle monitors on all unemployed and poor people. This sounds like a joke, but I’m serious. JD Vance is not just a fan of him intellectually, but also a personal friend. As someone who has known about Yarvin for several years, it’s been really concerning seeing how he could potentially become a Rasputin-like figure in the event of a Trump victory. Beyond this, Yarvin has also spent many years advocating for what sounds eerily like Project 2025.”

For those familiar with Star Citizen lore, he apparently wants to turn the US into the Stanton system “lol” …
