I still say Trump won't pick a VP. From what I've seen he wouldn't need to pick one legally unless he is elected... I don't see anything about voters getting to know who it would be before the election... or am I misunderstanding these rules.

There is simply no benefit to picking a VP. Too many forces want Trump gone so having a named successor is dangerous for him.

When he dies the world ends as far as he cares, why would he plan for that?

@futurebird @pelha @AndyGER It's unlikely that the choice will be a man.

Target is scaling back LGBTQ+ merchandise this year after "right-wing backlash" last year. It can couch this decision in all the research-supported logic it wants, but it's still a capitulation to bigots. is betting those of us who support equity will be more accepting of this decision than bigots will of the retailer carrying products. Those who care need to raise their voices and make their wishes heard by curtailing their spending at Target.

@augieray Fuck off Target. I got plenty of money to spend and none of it will go to your cowardly stores.

Pro-Israel counter-protesters at UCLA previously took part in anti-LGBTQ+ and anti-vaccine events across Southern California.

Some of the pro-Israel counter protesters are also associated with local Proud Boy and Three Percenter militia chapters and fundamentalist Christian churches.

hiring a hitman is a complicated game theory problem because the hitman always has the option of just taking the money and calling the cops. you have to convince them that you are capable of hiring another hitman to come after the first hitman, but the very act of trying to hire the first hitman indicates that you don't have a second, more reliable hitman ready to go. so i guess the moral of the story is don't be a landlord. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2024-05-07/landlord-sentenced-20-years-in-prison-in-murder-for-hire-plots

@jonny Seems like being a hitman pays the bills and you can always flip and do little time.

lightninhopkins,
@lightninhopkins@mastodon.social avatar

@jonny Ahh, but no one would suspect the hitman that flipped to ever get hired again. Camouflage.

Every forum we ever contributed to, including the web itself, is being hoovered up as AI training sets. I guess the one bright spot of sharing most of my stuff via my own open web site instead of places like StackOverflow is that there isn’t some big cash payment I’m being cut out of, so I don’t feel doubly used. https://www.theregister.com/2024/05/07/stack_overflow_openai/

Musk restored the deadbird account of one of the most prominent -- and vile -- extremists. https://www.justsecurity.org/95385/twitter-x-fuentes-role-january-6th-attack/

It's Musk's platform, and he can do what he wants with it.

Journalists who remain there are supporting Musk, and his business. They've rationalized this, but they're wrong to stay and they know it.

in 1715.

A total solar eclipse is visible across northern Europe and northern Asia, as predicted by Edmond Halley to within four minutes accuracy. He also drew a predictive map showing the path of totality across Great Britain. The original map was about 20 miles off the observed eclipse path, mainly due to his use of inaccurate lunar ephemeris. After the eclipse, he corrected the eclipse path, and added the path and description of the 1724 total solar eclipse.

@gutenberg_org I think he might have been really smart.

@Daojoan Claiming victimhood to excuse horrendous behavior has a long history. Tell people who to hurt to "get even" and it works magic.
