"Privately, several executives concede they have little appetite for kowtowing to Trump. But advisers say a pragmatic playbook has emerged: show up, make a promise grand enough to flatter the president, and then do as little as possible until his attention shifts elsewhere."

I think MPs and the press would furiously back actual Adolf reborn if pushed, if it was ever a choice between him and a bunch of hippies who want to introduce wealth taxes and take a look at what’s in the foreign policy files.

One end goal of "AI" is to end personal computing so big tech companies can fully be landlords once again; just like back in the era of renting time on timesharing mainframes.

Amazon's Jeff Bezos once revealed how he thinks of local PC hardware as antiquated, ready to be replaced by cloud options. Will DRAM prices make it come true?

It’s been reported locally, but I’m not sure how much national notice this has gotten. As part of this invasion by shithead goons, they are putting ICE agents in jetbridges and other parts of the airport at Minneapolis-Saint Paul. If you are flying Delta via MSP, you are putting yourself at risk.

Quite frankly, it’s outrageous that Mark Carney is cutting Statistics Canada. If he was Stephen Harper or Pierre Poilievre, I feel like this would be getting a lot more backlash.

Liebe Medien, ich kann die Schlagzeile "Keine Einigung zwischen USA und Dänemark" nicht mehr sehen. Wenn ein Bewaffneter eine Bank stürmt, titelt ihr doch auch nicht: "Räuber und Kassiererin finden keinen Konsens über Geldübergabe." Hört auf, imperiale Aggression als normale Diplomatie zu framen.

Wild to see a politician immediately go to work and beginning to help people.
If the past few years have shown us everything, it's that the Democrats just didn't try. Turns out this was possible the whole time. You can tear down the White House if you want to! They just didn't care.
