Am I reading this correctly, 17 States have already banded together to end first-past-the-post voting for POTUS?

Except they don’t even bother with the table anymore.

Yeah this. They’re not trying to hide it anymore. Just 10 years ago corruption may have required journalistic effort to uncover, now the admin yokels just shout it from the rooftops, hoping to “trigger the libs”.

Glad you marked it Satire.

Ever since 2016, droves of professional humorists complain about The Don stealing their jobs.

he was “fed up” with the fact that energy prices dip and soar “because of the actions of Putin or Trump across the world.”

Not sure I like Keir Starmer much, but I hope this message is perceived by all the British. Populism done right.
Let’s see what he follows such statements with…

As for Trump, I’ve been saying since 2025 (or was it 2021? Or 2017?) that he will fail sooner or later. Not an amazing prediction to make. And we’re still not quite there. MAGA as a whole needs to fail, too. But that’s looking good as well, if you ask me.

As for Hungary, let’s all get one Hungarian beer and enjoy it. And hope that Tisza holds its promises and isn’t too … hmmm, conservative.

Trends also took longer to go around the globe, even for English speaking countries.
How did people survive without the internet?* It’s baffling.

* I am one of these people

Well they’re not wearing long pants right now (and shoes). Looks like street art to me. And street art does not belong in the Louvre. Checkmate!

The usefulness … is overblown.

Ain’t that the truth for everything E Musk produces.
And it could be so great, done properly.
He’s giving electric cars and reusable rockets a bad rep actually.

I’m pretty sure by his estimate we were supposed to have megastructures by now.

This exactly. Musk has been talking ginormic shit for decades, and delivered peanuts. Destroying the USA in the process.

How good is the re-usability even going? That’s the only plus I see wrt SpaceX.

They are only available to members of congress, not their staff

That’s what I said.

I don’t think so. This was on the news just a few days ago. I think the files are quite accessible, but only to high-level officials. The point is that it would take many days of full-time work to sift through everything, and they cannot offload it to other people working for them.

And then they passed this rule that only congress members (personally, no aides) can look at the files, on provided government computers.
