Holy shit Tapper wrote this book that is (oh so totally organically) driving the commentary right now?

Fucking Jake Tapper who was just famously neutral and unbiased toward all other candidates than Joe Biden during the 2020 primaries?

How rich that he of all people is cashing in now on the Biden blame train.

That’s what’s up

On Wikipedia, an article for a deceased person reads, “[The deceased] was,” while an article for a TV show that has ended reads, “The Office is

Do people here know who this Fat Electrician guy is? Because I’m vaguely familiar with him and his YouTube channel and my instinct is that the majority of us here on lemmy were rather the opposite of him at 15 (libertarian phase or some other antisocial ignorance) and now around 30+ years old the disposition is much more ‘the modern city is in so many ways a marvel of cooperation and achievement.’

From my encounters he is a ‘society bad, the end’ type and not at all a ‘capitalism bad’ type. I guess that is lumpen proletariat? Anyway I’d love to be proven wrong but I was already too red flagged and turned off to dig further into his content.

Yep. Plenty of brilliant engineers working for Boston Dynamics or Lockheed just gleefully developing killbots and weapon systems almost solely because it is cutting edge tech and because all that matters to them is the question of “can?” and never “should?” It’s probably the only real kind of ‘autism’ that anyone should really be afraid of, not whatever bs RFK Jr is spouting.

Sorry, I tried 12ft.io and archive.org but couldn’t find a non-paywalled link

What an absolute fucking champ-

While acknowledging his share of responsibility for the loss, Walz is returning to the national spotlight and didn't rule out a 2028 presidential run, saying, "I'm not saying no."

Both of those things are such music to my ears (although ofc we should all know that it was Harris’s brother-in-law Uber exec lawyer who muzzled Walz and deserves that blame that Walz is selflessly taking on here).

Sadly I’m not even sure the US will exist by 2028.

Well, in Dave’s CEO’s defense, it was just Google Ads.

Just, you know, that thing that largely provides the income for a world top-ten company.
