Trump is probably happy these particular people were killed. They were probably the same sort of journalists he's banning from press conferences.

Ah, so it's not that they sell data, it's that they share data in order to achieve commercial viability. I don't sell items on ebay, I share them in a commercially viable way!

They are already an oligarchy, they are paving the way for an authoritarian dictatorship now.

Or, hear me out, whatever happened to just hosting your own fucking website and RSS stream? Not everything needs to an opportunity for a random Joe to drop his two cents in.

He only cares about free speech when he can control what and whom it is flooded to. If you disagree with him, it will get automatically prioritized for the trash heap and chances are his critics will have worked it out of their system to bother complaining somewhere else, giving him a two for one.

If Brother starts playing that game, they will lose. Why bother buying their considerably more expensive printers over those of HP if they are going to be just as bad in the third party ink department?

"Turns out we didn't even need to invade Taiwan LOL", but in Chinese

Musk has been spouting how Social Security is a scam and how tariffs will make up for it. Basically, kiss your social security pension away and just hope a substitute pops up - although it will likely be in the form of "get a check if you don't criticize us" now. DOGE is an excuse to Big Data everything from every department and process it through AI, including knowing your political association.

Conservatives didn't care about being conservative, they just cared about being rich.

Except one does not contradict the other. The United States has supported democracy, it's just that that support is razor thin.

This Russian mole is so incompetent, he's only now discussing what a good Russian mole would have done a month ago.

The incompetence of the bucket allowed flowers to thrive, leading them to eventually achieve sapience and overthrow the farmer. It was during the renaissance after the post industrial age of flower society that a new peaceful era dedicated to the worship of the wooden bucket began.

"Whistleblows". What a moronic take, in this regard taking the word of Edward Snowden is like taking the word of a random stranger in the street. At least we know on what Edward Snowden is likely spending his days on in Russia: Gaming. Wouldn't blame him, it's not like he can freely travel.

Kill one rich guy - complete and utter censorship.

Be a rich guy who is a twice impeached convicted felon presidential traitor making decisions resulting in casualties over the thousands - whoah, now, wouldn't want their feelings to be hurt!

State of the world in a nutshell.

Just in case people didn't know they were heading into a personality cult dictatorship already.

Yes, obviously. He isn't just being dumb with the Canada and Greenland threats, he wants to provoke the circumstances to invoke the Insurrection Act. It's the easiest way to bypass midterms and elections. They know what they are doing is unpopular, they know they are only maintaining the veneer of having popularity. It allows political persecution of "traitors" and "propagandists". They aren't casually siding with Russia, Russian authoritarianism is their model. Hope Musk gets thrown out a rocket window to make room for someone more loyal and less overbearing on Trump, he's unpopular enough on both sides that it might actually be considered good PR by Trump.

A lot of technology goods. Which basically means China, which was already doing a lot of their manufacture, wins out. China is going to be moving all in on the US international market as it continues to ramp up this way, and the US will be left increasingly alone when it is eventually forced to aid Taiwan in its defense.

They actually mean just unborn American children, everyone else is a savage to them.

So back to migrant farmers, but without the pay.

Oh, they can do something about it. It's another matter entirely that they will because it's well outside their comfort zones.
