Re: Chaos in Congress
Well, we all know that MAGA believes losing an election just means you need to try seizing power by other means

Re: Hamas' "50th Anniversary" Attack on Israel
Or, with a full year to cool off and react to the many additional black/gray swans that are sure to show up, these events will not be as much of a factor as it feels like right now. For what it's worth, although I would not bet on this outcome, I think it's perfectly, non-negligibly likely that neit...

Re: Elon's Twitter
No, it is available for other browsers too. There are links to several different versions (maybe all of them?) in this article:

Re: The challenges ahead (Biden's America)
Garry Kasparov writes in the WSJ that Biden should put all his energy into defeating Russia and Hamas for the remainder of his term, then step aside and endorse LLoyd Austin for '24. I'm not sure what I think about that, but I have a lot of respect for Kasparov's opinions in general.

Re: Elon's Twitter
This browser extension can make X-Twitter look like Twitter again, from functional fixes like putting the headlines back on links to purely aesthetic ones like replacing all those Xs with birds. I linked to the Firefox version, but it's available for the other major browsers too.

Re: World News Thread
Someone on Twitter said, you know we are in WWIII, right? And I can't make a convincing argument that we are not. WWII was called WWII because there was a direct line between it and the unfinished business of WWI, and because the the sides and players were largely the same. That isn't the case with...

Re: Chaos in Congress
So close! Now let's hear you say "no one has the right to 'rule' in this country, period, because we're still a democracy."

I'm sort of curious about what kind of advertising you can buy for $10N.E. Brigand wrote: ↑Fri Oct 06, 2023 10:42 pmJust in case you're wondering: yes, that says ten dollars.

Re: Elon's Twitter
As is so often the case with the new right, I'm torn between two nonexclusive explanations: "this is an effort to hobble competitors" and "this is an effort to force people to click the links so X-Twitter gets paid."

Re: Elon's Twitter
The iOS X-Twitter app now makes annoying 80s arcade sounds when you refresh that can’t be turned off via the “play sounds” setting. That will probably change, but who would think this is a good idea in the first place?

Chaos in Congress
Didn’t anyone tell him that only Republican Congressmen are allowed to be openly corrupt?

Re: Trump and others charged with conspiring to overturn 2020 election in Georgia
What would any of the defendants hypothetically have to gain by moving to DC? Can't the "I'm immune because I was acting within the scope of my federal duties" argument be made in state court? Also, what happens if they do move to federal court and the GA Congressional Republicans subseque...

That too, but I meant that was a reasonable caption for his opponents to put with the mugshot. More projection/accusation=confession stuff.

Re: Trump and others charged with conspiring to overturn 2020 election in Georgia
Donald Trump was banned from Twitter early in 2021. After Elon Musk purchased the social network, now renamed X, he lifted Trump's ban, but the disgraced former president hadn't post there for more than 18 months until tonight, when he xweeted a photoshopped version of his mugshot that he's now usi...

Re: Trump Indicted for Conspiring to Overturn the 2020 Election
In three mirror-image posts, Trump wrote “Liberate Michigan!”, and Virginia, and Minnesota. He also made a characteristically unhinged post referencing 7 indictments, when the rest of us only know about 4. A sign that these three states next? Those “Liberate XYZ!” posts are evidently years old, so ...

Re: Trump Indicted for Conspiring to Overturn the 2020 Election
The argument that you can't possibly go on trial now because there's so much evidence of your crimes that it's going to take forever to decide how to respond is definitely something.

Re: Elon's Twitter
PSA: Depending on workflow and app, some of the X-Twitter links I've copied lately have gone to the clipboard as x.com instead of twitter.com. The HoF plugin doesn't recognize x.com links*, but if you manually edit the start of the URL to twitter.com and leave the rest unchanged, it will still work ...
