It's very interesting how the media pushed the line that arresting politicians 'makes you a banana republic' when the reverse is absolutely true.
History shows that democracies don’t survive when their leaders live above the law. This danger is magnified by Trump’s pardoning or promising to pardon people who’ve already committed crimes on his behalf, acts intended to benefit him politically or personally.

The Epstein Affair Has Move From Sleaze to a Crisis for American Democracy Itself

The famous DoorDash inflation report that we all rely on
NEW — I spoke to DoorDash about the White House claiming the company's report shows "inflation has been tamed" and whether that's an interpretation one should make. An economist also weighed in, pointing out dictatorships use data obfuscation as a tool, and right now they're "grasping at straws."
WH claims 'inflation tamed,' per DoorDash stats. Company says that's not in its report.
It comes the same week we learned the WH would likely not release key economic reports for October.

To recap: Jeffrey Epstein offered a NY Times reporter photos taken in Epstein's kitchen of Donald Trump and girls in bikinis *and* implored the NYT reporter to put this information in the public discourse in 2015

What did the NY Times editors know about this offer?

YAML is the most efficient way for both machines and humans to communicate. All languages will eventually converge on yaml.

Nobody thinks Many Men is named "Wish death" so I don't know why that would be in parentheses? 🤔 Unless Mr Cent is worried about the song title sounding gay? 🧐

For finance to even have a remote chance of working it has to be completely unanonymous. Every trade that's made (maybe above a threshold of 1000$ or something) needs to immediately persist to a fully public log, with the amount and names of the traders.

Measles was once considered eliminated in Canada, but not anymore — there have been more than 5,000 cases in the last 12 months as vaccination rates have fallen. Here's how they got there, and why other countries — including the U.S. and Mexico — are also at risk of losing their status.

Senator: Mr Altman, your company failed to realize that your new robot would cut off human hands and stuff them in a "thumbs up" posture in order to satisfy its own training algorithm. In all my 85 years sitting on this committee I've never heard anything like it.

Media is just complete idiots in interpreting Trump's double speak.

He can go "we're gonna be looking very strongly at EXECUTING every member of congress, Rambo II style. but it's going to be done very peacefully", and BBC will treat the last sentence as crucial context

I understand why Republicans don't want to remove the filibuster. It's been an instrument to uphold racist and reactionary ideology, so even if they don't care about the rules under any other circumstance, they see how this one rule clearly advantages them. But Democrats?

After years of deliberation, I have concluded that Fight On! from Final Fantasy VII is the best boss battle theme of all time. An extremely unoriginal take, but unoriginal for a very good reason.

It's 2013. Robin Thicke just released his hit "Blurred Lines" and as far as you can tell there's nothing problematic about it. Daft Punk's record RAM is out and you can't wait to see them tour live. A guy named "Donald Trump" has never even thought about killing his best friend Jeffrey Epstein
