  • The fact checking in this article is perfect lol

    “So what America should be saying is, if NATO wants us to continue supporting them and NATO wants us to continue to be a good participant in this military alliance, why don’t you respect American values and respect free speech?” Vance asked. “It’s insane that we would support a military alliance if that military alliance isn’t going to be pro-free speech. I think we can do both. But we’ve got to say American power comes with certain strings attached. One of those is respect free speech, especially in our European allies.”

    Musk has been accused of banning several journalists since taking over Twitter, now X.

    “I’m not going to go to some backwoods country and tell them how to live their lives,” Vance added. “But European countries should theoretically share American values, especially about some very basic things like free speech.”

    The US ranked 26th in the world when it comes to free speech, with several members of the European Union higher up the list, according to the 2024 Global Expression Report.








  • Why wouldn’t it?

    It’s talking about two things “AI” which is actually a pretty good use of the label

    1. Generatinga lower Rez screen and upscaling.

    2. Generating addition frames based on what might happen in between real screens

    There’s no valid reason not to use that. Hardware costs more so you’d be paying a lot more money for the same performance. With less people making that choice, the price differential would be even greater.

    Like, this is right. They can’t make them without this for low enough people will buy it.

    It’s facts bro



  • What’s crazier is I’m pretty sure he just started talking about it…

    Like, it wasn’t a scandal that came out.

    RFK jr just casually told someone in an interview one time he found a dead whale on a beach. So he did the common sense thing: got a chainsaw out of his minivan, cut the head off, strapped it to the minivan, then drove home so he could “study” it.

    Pretty sure it’s because he just brought up dumping the dead bear in Central Park, and when people said that was weird, RFK told the whale story to make the bear story seem normal?

    I don’t know, you’d have to ask the worm why RFK thought any of this was interview material.



  • The sheriff’s office said the woman, who was not at the home, had called deputies before the shooting to report two trespassers on her property. She also called Metz, who drove over to the home and allegedly blocked the teen’s car from leaving, KUSA reported.

    Metz then got out of his vehicle and is alleged to have fired one round through the windshield of the teen’s car, the station reported.

    These fuckeits refuse to ever just let a situation de-escalate on its own

    Like, you drive there to make them leave, prevent them from leaving. And shoot at the fucking driver before speaking to them.

    We can’t ignore the real life consequences of all this fucking fear mongering.





  • Biden was/is beholden to his donors, they threatened to cut him off and he had zero chance without their money, he wasn’t a strong enough candidate.

    trump is funded by foreign dictators, billionaires, and domestic idiots.

    They’re not cutting off his funding no matter what. So he won’t be forced to drop like Biden.

    Plus the only thing keeping trump out of jail is he’s a presidential candidate, dudes going to do everything he can to hold onto any scraps of immunity he can get. Biden doesn’t have to worry about that


  • I really don’t think so.

    Like. I remember something about how (at least in some states) you’re really voting for a party ticket. And then the party that wins gets that many electoral college voters from that party who then vote. And I believe the only requirement is they vote for the party that won the votes to appoint them as electorers, and that’s not even a requirement everywhere.

    It was the small piece of truth that led to Trump’s false elector plan last election. The only reason it didn’t work, was his false electors weren’t legitimately appointed.

    So trump could both not be able to remove his name from ballots, but still drop out of the race and no longer be the candidate.

    It’s two different things with an incredibly strong correlation, but they don’t always have to be the same.

    I didn’t bother to dig in and verify that tho, I may be wrong. But I didn’t spend the time to do it and went off memory because trump just ain’t dropping out no matter what.



  • Honestly trump dropping out is pretty much the worse thing that can happen to Kamala.

    Just like the worst thing that could have happened to trump was Biden dropping out.

    The only reason anyone could convince themselves trump or Biden was a good enough candidate, was if the only other option was trump or Biden.

    Replacing trump wouldn’t just gain more republican votes, it’ll cost a lot that are only voting Kamala to stop trump.

    trump just won’t do it, and no one will force him out
