"'s youngest son 'declines' to be delegate, his mother says"

This was mom's decision I think

Melania seems a little angry. Gee, I wonder why 🤔

Those divorce papers are already typed up and ready to be sent to orange sh**bag, and I think they're coming overnight Fedex on November 6

It's likely Barron will be a ghoul, but wouldn't it be a gas if via his mother's bile he becomes a critic of and ?

@Catawu (pop psych hat on)

mom and dad don't talk. this whole "i'm sending him to the convention" -> "oh no you're not" is his parents fighting through their son

whenever you see barron he has zonked face: his entire existence has been this battle of wills and contempt between donald and melania, he's shell shocked

so: i agree with you. he's likely to become just another GOP ghoul

however, it's possible he rejects both, and charts his own path, as far away as possible

@gareth

i don't think he's deciding

i think this is a battle of wills between two parents who don't communicate, at least, and detest each other, probably. this is a teenager being used by his parents as a weapon to fight each other

Donald: "he's going to the convention"
Melania: "no he's not"

not said behind closed doors. out in public. with Barron as a pawn

obviously this is toxic. Barron's social development and psychological well being are being hit

and this is how Republicans are made

@TCatInReality @Catawu @thepoliticalcat

it is true for both. the path barron is on is the same path that made donald. it doesn't mean barron will definitely share the same fate of low character dbag as his father, but his chances aren't good

how the f*** did we wind up as a country with this human piece of sh** as a major figure we have to concern ourselves with as having such a grave impact on our lives?

difference is, the stakes are higher now, and the kind of compromise is insidious, planned, and coordinated

"Fun" fact about #Hungary:

While most Western countries are concerned with extrajudicial security personnel from #China going after Chinese dissidents and other interference via secret police stations, Hungary just went and signed a deal with China: "lol, police from a totalitarian country officially patrolling our streets? sure thing"

Now #Xi is visiting #Orban

And these "police" are tearing down #Tibet flags

And #EU flags

Hungarians WTF? Your country is a joke

"The Hungarian government's invitation to Chinese police officers to patrol in Hungary poses a threat to European security and in particular the freedoms of Europe's Chinese diaspora."

" blocks access to for Russians in "

that's nice Pentagon. but couldn't we have done this a little bit sooner before all the bootlicking on terminal access? it's an company

granted, this is all "fog of war" stuff and it's probably not the whole story. i'm sure there was intelligence gathering and deception going on, "random" errors in terminals used by .

The Russian government warned Ukraine that Ukraine’s new fleet of F-16 fighter jets will be treated as a "nuclear-capable threat" by Russia, and “nuclear-capable threat” is also the nickname Putin has given his tallywacker.

benroyce,
@benroyce@mastodon.social avatar

@davidaugust

For those worried #Putin will use #nuclearweapons:

You're correct. He may

Problem is, if we give into his threats, that means #nuke threats work

So he'll threaten more

And every autocratic sh**bag will copy the strategy

Also, more states will get #nukes because of what happened to #Ukraine who gave up there's

Result:

Lot more nukes, lot more threats to use nukes, greater chance of being #nuked

Therefore we have to ignore Putin's threats

@webshinra @arstechnica with Wikipedia the deal has always been that it is free and open, and everyone who contributes to it is aware of that. If Wikimedia Foundation provides an API for LLM that money goes back into the nonprofit foundation which supports Wikipedia, not buying gold toilets. better deal than if the AI ghouls are screenscraping

Stack Overflow is monetizing user content as a bait and switch on the users for profit generation

Your comparison is bogus

no, Joe Rogan fans do not have brain worms

they have similar clinical signs and symptoms as RFK Jr. fans but different underlying pathology: no brains

File this under the heading economics is not even a dismal science, because mainstream economics isn’t even science. Economics could actually be a rigorous discipline, if orthodoxy can be kicked out.

“ In contrast to its attitude to private debt, which it ignores, mainstream economics obsesses about government debt. But this volte-face doesn't besmirch its record of being 100% wrong.”
