This man may be the most racist president this country has ever had, and twelve presidents owned slaves
Trump: "It’s a hellhole right now. And those Somalians should be out of here. They've destroyed our country. And all they do is complain, complain, complain. You have her. She’s always talking about the Constitution provides me with – go back to your own country and figure out your constitution."

Absurdly, this calls to my mind a line of dialogue written long ago by one of the chief villains in this ongoing saga of bigotry across the pond:
"[If I didn't betray my friends], he would have killed me!"
"Then you should have died!"
If you'll sell out your friends, you weren't a friend.
"[If I didn't betray my friends], he would have killed me!"
"Then you should have died!"
If you'll sell out your friends, you weren't a friend.
"“My hope is that the message that the transgender community gets from this is not one of betrayal, but is one of our desire to continue to maintain those friendships and that support,...when that anger subsides the transgender community will know that we stand with them."
Nope, it's betrayal.
Nope, it's betrayal.
“I spoke to one 80-year-old woman who has been in our organisation for decades, who said it was one of the greatest experiences of her life, and the only place in her 80 years where she’s been treated as a woman with respect.”

More effective than *eliminating murder*!
Insane but true fact: making US roads as safe as Canadian, Australian, or European roads would save more lives than eliminating murder from the US.

A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF

I was talking about this on Monday with some people. I think it's because TechBros are not trying to solve problems, they are trying to make a version of a thing they remember from Science Fiction.
one of the things I really do not understand is why so much of the development of robots seems to be focused on making them bipedal like humans. Why? It's an insane allocation of resources when it would be much easier to give them three or four "legs" or come up with some new system
