America could sure use less internal combustion and more high-speed rail.

Apart from being individually, inhumanely awful, it’s just so stupid at a societal level. Spending money on cops to wreck the economy is stable genius level thinking.

Uh, what? I’ll use a quote when it neatly captures what I was thinking, and credit it to the original author. The phrase is the important part I guess, but fair play to the author.

If you’re drawing authority from it, that’s on you. Sometimes you just like the turn of phrase and are giving credit.

I quite enjoy a half dozen sea-snots (just fresh with a wedge of lemon please), but I can see the lack of appeal.

1984 missed that our telescreens would be portable and the hate isn’t limited to two minutes per day.

As a child and into my teens, I had an inner monologue that was switched on all the time. After practising meditation and reading without subvocalisation, I was finally able to ‘shut up’ where stopping the monologue was as easy as stopping talking. Anyway, I’d encourage anyone to give it a try. Now being able to think without distracting chatter is well worth it for me.

In pictures, for one example

He often squints reading the prompter, and he has to concentrate so his manner of speech moderates significantly. Then you see him flip the switch to freewheeling bullshit.

BILL ACT 🤦‍♂️

Maybe in the not too distant future we will build our roofs out of solar panels and walls out of batteries.

Our ancient tradition since the 1960s.

“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. […] The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some 50 miles of concrete highway. We pay for a single fighter plane with a half million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people.” - Eisenhower

Hmm what do they call police who act secretly…

Fido

Bonus, a lot of the benefits to billionaires occur immediately and the costs will appear later, so it will look (to the blind) like Trump did great and the next guy fucked up bad.

Yep, I don’t see any problem with the headline. Seems like sensible advice.

Imagine someone good drowning out Trump in the media.

I guess I’m used to it. Besides, imagine not using a cable at all–even better?

You can still do that with an adapter though?
