In the decision, U.S. District Judge Anna Manasco, who was nominated by former President Donald Trump in 2020, ruled that the state violated the National Voter Registration Act’s “quiet period” provision and ordered Allen to pause the voter removal program through the election.

All this bullshit vote-rigging nonsense passed in state legislatures needs to be thrown out. At least in time for this election.

What they are doing is blatant and illegal, and there is a mechanism to stop it.

“AI,” what should I do about being constipated?

Painfully stretch your rectum to gaping in order to accommodate your constipation.

The tested LLMs fared much worse, though, when the Apple researchers modified the GSM-Symbolic benchmark by adding “seemingly relevant but ultimately inconsequential statements” to the questions

Good thing they’re being trained on random posts and comments on the internet, which are known for being succinct and accurate.

Insurance companies save money by denying claims on a normal day. Paying to rebuild an entire state would jeopardize the big number going up and thus executive bonuses.

They won’t be paying claims. They’re not going to pay to rebuild a house that their models say will be knocked down again in 2-3 years by the next “storm of the century.” Insurance companies exist to extract wealth, not to help people. And they will always have more lawyers than you.

Netanyahu has consistently signaled that he does not care at all about the hostages. He’s in this war for his political survival and to stay out of jail on corruption charges.

Peace cannot possibly be achieved while he is in office. The hostages will die of starvation and thirst eventually, just like the Palestinians are doing right now en masse.

When/if Trump loses and the threat of another attempted coup or civil war has passed would be ideal. Demotivating voters who would keep Trump out of office is bad for everyone, as is emboldening the people who would commit treason to take the office by force.

Yes, because closely-scrutinized disaster responses that are having to be done in multiple states for multiple storms are such a huge winner for the incumbent party. This is one of those conspiracies that is not only stupid on its face, but it doesn’t make any sense at all even if it was true. It’s a failure of critical thinking on so many levels.

Don’t worry, Russian military. I know a company in Hungary that sells pagers and walkie-talkies in bulk to facilitate communication.

This situation is specific to the US, but because of the election, right now is the exact wrong time to be raising alarm bells and turning blame toward the Biden Administration. It’s not that they haven’t made mistakes; it’s that the alternative is so, so much worse. What’s happening is a tragedy, but it will only widen in scope and be replicated elsewhere if Trump takes office again.

Just because someone is an idiot doesn’t mean they don’t stumble into a good scheme from time-to-time.

People in swing states create fake voter accounts en masse for the reward. Those fake voters all try to vote for Trump.

The game is to destabilize everything enough that a court case advances to the Supreme Court so that they can steal the election. Thousands upon thousands of fake voters helps them tremendously.

It’s a goddamn shame how evil the world is. And it’s incredibly sad that people become desensitized to it, but they do. Incremental improvement does very little for the present, but it’s the only feasible solution right now.

The alternative is to turn right wing and make everything exponentially worse. It’s incredibly sad that the people everywhere are powerless, but it’s a fact of life in the world right now.

Local people should own their own water. It shouldn’t be centralized in a for-profit company.

I have also texted with a guy that claims to be one of the 4 founders of coincorner, Phil Collins

I can feel it conning in the air tonight… Oh Lord

Good for Macron, but it isn’t happening. The die is cast. Israel won’t stop until Iran’s nuclear program is destroyed, along with Hezbollah and Hamas. The long term plans are likely to occupy the West Bank as well.

If Biden cut off the weapons pipeline right now, Israel would have stocks to continue the war. And Trump might get elected because of it, and he’s actively pro-genocide and fascism.

Israel struck at exactly the right time. The US has no leverage unless and until Harris wins.

I just hope the party without any access to global trade has some kind of recourse when/if more than half of the goods are spoiled. Sure would be a shame if Pakistan made a fortune on this trade at the expense of Putin.

Make a good fucking game. That’s your job. Get out of the creatives’ way and quit insisting that garbage microtransactions be inserted into everything.

It isn’t hard. Gaming companies were able to do it for decades. It’s the rent-seeking executives who are fucking up the gaming industry the same way they’re fucking up everything else.

John Bolton, famous war enjoyer

That should be Bolton’s epitaph. It’s still wild to think he was one of the sanest voices in the Trump administration, especially when he was one of the craziest in the Bush administration.

I did not realize that Netanyahu was gaining in popularity, but it’s true

This was always going to happen after the pagers exploded. Netanyahu is finalizing his legacy before he loses the next election. He’s taking out all of Israel’s enemies’ ability to wage war.

Netanyahu is ensuring October 10 doesn’t happen again in the foreseeable future and also expanding land grabs at a rapid pace. He doesn’t give a single fuck about civilian death tolls to achieve his goals.
