So how could she have broken with Biden as the current VP?

She sides with Palestine, so she supports Hamas? She doesn’t support Israel? She supports Iran too!?

That’s just the tip of the media iceberg that would have been thrown at her.

Let’s say she does that. Do you think with the numbers that DJT turned out that she’d have gained so much more than she would have lost that it would have made a difference?

Let’s further say that she did, and it was, and she won the election. She’s now thrown a long-term, strategic ally under the bus on the world stage. Not only that, she’ll have to forcibly disarm them, potentially feeding them to the wolves in the Middle East.

How does she politically recover from that? ALL of that?

And please don’t mention “genocide” in your reply. That’s already a know variable in play.

Can you (or anyone) provide a politically viable path through the above ‘top level’ landmines which would have gotten her into the White House and into a position where she could take direct action to stop the genocide?

Vans don’t have trunks asshole!

(A paraphrasing of “Castles don’t have phones asshole!” from The Rocky Horror Picture Show …)

As a kid we went to the University of Michigan hospital every six months for my brother.

One visit we go to the cafeteria for lunch as usual, and there were signs everywhere warning that microwave ovens were in use!

My mom asked one of the staffers what the signs were for and she told us that it turns out these new devices could affect pacemakers in a real bad way.

“We found out the hard way when a few patients went into cardiac arrest right here in the cafeteria! Took them awhile to connect the dots…”

“Oh my god,” my mom said! “Did you lose anyone?”

“Oh no honey…there ain’t no better place to have one of those than in a hospital!”

It would be years before we got one at home, and nobody we knew had a pacemaker.

Trunk-or-Treating!

FTFA: “Launched federation for self-hosters and developers. Now there are over 1,000 other personal data servers (PDS) outside of Bluesky.”

One thing I am always aware of are apps that want permission to access Bluetooth and/or Wi-Fi and/or Networks.

Even though Bluetooth is very short ranged it can still be used to tie you into a location within a database based on other database records that are more detailed.

Yeah, I love playing you “My Great Dog-sitting Simulator” (not a real app) but you do not need access to my BT. The OS handles sending your audio to my headphones!

Well bsky.app has added almost a million users in 1 day! They actually call these events “EMEs” (Elon Musk Events).

It’s a great site, that I highly recommend you check out.

Including the envelope it came in and every bit of paper too!

Hell the poster may want to slide a few junk mail pieces that didn’t have a SASE with them into the ones that did just to get rid of them as well!

Ha! I thought that sounded like a “Twister” movie reference.

Ron White, is that you!?

I appreciate your optimism by using the singular…

And “1984” was a warning, not a “How To”…

Yeah…

Hey! Perhaps they’ll use A.I. to weed out the A.I. generated bits.

I think that’s the “25-times faster” bit. They seem to be in a hurry to collect as much human-generated data as possible.

Ah, the ol’ “Brute Force” hack.

I got as far as Tom Cotton. Everything else in that article is just going to be a waste of time to read.

The man is without ethics or morals.

While you’re there try the Apple Fritter! It’s like monkey bread* made with apple cinnamon bits, then deep fried and dipped in glaze.

*=Monkey Bread is just pull-apart bread made from large chunks of dough.

Nothing beats a Pizza Hut Pan Pizza, so they get my vote!

I wish people would realize that terraforming is the only way we’re going to colonize other planets.

Sci-fi showed us landing on Earth-like planets and making a new home. Reality will show us dying in a completely alien biosphere as bacteria and viruses we have zero resistance against ravages our bodies the moment we’re exposed to it. And we’d expose the new biosphere to pathogens it has zero resistance to.

We might be able to adapt by living in a protected environment (i.e. our biosphere) and slowly exposing generations of our descendants to the new biosphere. But many, many of us would die in the process. Not to mention genetic mutations.
