I don't always use Amazon customer service, but when I do, I expect the world's leading retailer in 2025 to have a chatbot that is easy to find.

Google's preview says it is:

true, but per the underlying GAO data, of these 70 US citizens, only 4 of them were in 2015-2016.

So, per the American Jewish Committee, all civilian deaths during war are to be called "murder"?

Umm.

I took the effort to go through the ADL raw data myself and produce this graph 4 months ago in January. They did not seem to have full data from November and December (I can update it, if no one else wants to...) One notable facet is that assaults are a sliver of the incidents reported to the ADL.

I am looking for a contemporary & timely essay reflecting on Passover under our nascent American despot era -- simply listing all of the illiberal offenses of the Trump 2.0 regime. This would echo what we do in the traditional Haggadah text by reading the verses from Exodus (1:11, 1:13)

I'm feeling Lando negotiating vibes myself these days

One word:

CHICKENS.

Buy chicken puppets and bring to protests (or to Congress?)

Do the funky chicken dance with your elbows.

Yell "Bok bok bok" at any GOP speaker ("buck buck buck")

@today.yougov.com you might get more survey responses if they were shorter (or, at least, could advise the surveytaker when they are free to go)

And also, let's make sure we're surveying people on reality here:

Well there was a potential revolt, that's still possible. They were just ultimately easy to buy off.

Well I'll raise you...
It's one thing to be cynical and strategic, sure... But, downright gullible?

I'm not part of the Bothsidesing Brigade... but pinch me here, has the NYT put Trump and "Habitual Lying" in an above-the-fold headline on a Sunday before?

Ooh, here's a feature: "The Week in Trump"! But... It only covers up to Thursday. Firings and layoffs mentioned here, highlighted:

These are obviously important stories: incompetent and cruel administration harms its own allies, so reporting is essential here

Where is the part in the Times which shows the list of top news stories? Didn't it used to be on page 2-3?

Why wasn't the headline of yesterday or today's NYT this: "TRUMP/MUSK FIRE UNTOLD NUMBERS OF FEDERAL EMPLOYEES IN VALENTINE'S DAY MASSACRE; UNLAWFUL AGENCY PURGE CONTINUES UNCHECKED"

I'm not in private equity and I've never personally taken over a business, but is it possible that many Americans have a raw or otherwise warped view of how management changes work?

That he threatens this is of course disgusting.

But the likely reality is that all sorts of business owners will request exemptions from enforcement via a quiet payoff somewhere. Corruption will, um, trump rhetoric.
