“Well yes, we’ve already had one constitutional crisis today, but what about second constitutional crisis?” -The DOJ, probably

It sure would be nice if these assholes could take ONE FUCKING DAY off from actively shielding child rapists, subverting the rule of law, destroying faith in government, or undermining the people’s interests. I know the firehose of bullshit is the whole point, but god damn.

Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we!

On Monday, Trump expanded a threat he had made if Iran refuses to open the vital Strait of Hormuz shipping passage, writing on social media the U.S. would not only destroy Iranian electric plants and oil wells but also “possibly all desalinization plants!”

It’s journalistic malpractice not to note that such actions constitute war crimes: the deliberate targeting of civilian infrastructure is considered a war crime not only under the Geneva Conventions but also the US’s Uniform Code of Military Justice.

Ship all the Trump-worshipping sycophants in this administration off to the Hague. Expel any member of Congress that voted to allow this illegal war to continue. Then ship them off to the Hague as well.

They say only to speak good of the dead. Chuck Norris is dead. Good.

Fantastic news! Let’s hope they manage to fulfill those orders before Taiwan runs out of energy reserves, because according to the Taipei Times, they currently only have enough to last until uhh…the end of the month.

Overall, energy supply for this month is secure, and the government is continuing efforts to ensure sufficient supply for next month

Again, just phenomenal.

Good. Don’t vote. If you were so stupid/racist/sexist/oblivious to history as to vote for Trump in 2024 you should not be voting at all.

Trump and the Republicans (who only exist as his personal ball-washers to sanewash and rubberstamp everything he does; they are indistinguishable at this point) documented all the policies they were going to pursue in the Project 2025 policy document, which was readily available to read before the election. You were warned about this loudly and repeatedly.

Trump’s behavior is also a known quantity. I suspect you did not magically appear on Earth to vote for him in 2024 having never experienced the reality of his first term, so you also should have had the benefit of knowing what he is like.

You therefore knew (or should have known) what he was like and what he wanted to do. If you knew, congratulations on getting exactly what you voted for. If not, you’re a low-information voter. You shouldn’t be voting at all because you are, at best, blindly picking a choice that everyone else has to live with too. So stay home. Don’t vote. Then at least nobody else has to suffer with the consequences of your ignorance.

We’re going back to drawing on maps with sharpies.

Kids these days. Can’t even read Gothic script.

My god! We haven’t seen a price this low since nearly three weeks ago. Sell! Sell! Sell!

I think you’re 100% right, and boy, this piece made me big mad. Yet another outlet breathlessly publishing fucking nonsense for a ghoul, who by uncritically publishing said ghoul’s dire warning of the imminent birth of a superintelligent malign(?) entity, serves as his unpaid marketing firm. Axios should be embarrassed. If anyone who wasn’t the head of an LLM company spouted this drivel, they’d be locked away in a padded room and Axios would rightly be called out for exacerbating the mental health crisis of a paranoid schizophrenic.

The whole essay reads like, “Here at Anthropic, we’re doing our best to create the Torment Nexus, but if anybody else were to successfully create the Torment Nexus, that would represent an existential risk for humanity. We’re doing our best to create it first, so please give us more money. To save humanity. From the Torment Nexus that we created.” It would be utter lunacy if he actually believed it.

Yep, the Republican party has known since at least the Obama years that they can do whatever they want and the Democrats will (at most) complain how hypocritical they’re being. This is the logical next step.

“Trump” trying to cancel the election is the Republican party trying to cancel the elections. He is just the frontman for a power apparatus that has been working toward this very moment for 50 years. After all, only a handful of principled Republican legislators (lol. lmao.) would be needed to stop everything he’s doing. But we don’t see that. Why not? They are so close to never having to worry about reelection again—they’re certainly not going to stop now.

It’s not enough, guys. Just about everyone with a 401(k) or a pension is giving us truckloads of money, but it’s not enough. We’re cooking the books, but it’s not enough. We’re paying OpenAI to buy our GPUs and IT’S STILL NOT FUCKING ENOUGH.

It must be the AI doomers. Those morons, those Luddites! AI has amazing benefits, like agreeing with people so hard they go insane, or counting the letters in “strawberry”, or undressing children! And those people think the same technology could cause the end of the world?

Those doomers are definitely the paper jam in the money printer. We gotta get rid of them. Then the money can really flow in!

Even better, they might not even be selling all the ones they’ve already made: https://unusualwhales.com/news/burry-demands-proof-of-warehoused-nvidia-gpus-ai-bubble-warning-hits-hard

Ah, see, you think you heard that MAGA was going to “release the Epstein files” but what they actually said was “we’re going to release the Epstein pedophiles.” Yeah, they’re letting everyone involved with him off the hook.

This is a real can of worms, as you can see from what other people have said. Let me chime in with two things: first, it depends on the partition and filesystem type, which usually depend on which distribution you’re using. For example, Debian, Ubuntu, and Linux Mint default to the ext4 filesystem, which is easy to grow and shrink. Most Fedora derivatives use btrfs, but Fedora Server uses xfs, which cannot be shrunk. So you’ll need to know what filesystem your system is running in order to proceed. The safest thing to do if you go this route is probably to backup everything and reinstall the OS, picking the new size from the installer. However, depending on the filesystem, resizing may be possible. Regardless, this is potentially dangerous and the first thing you do should definitely be to back. up. everything.

And second, if you’ve got a big filesystem that’s mostly empty, the easiest way to solve this may be to simply copy whatever’s filling up your smaller filesystem to the bigger one, rename the original, then symlink the location on the bigger filesystem to its original location on the smaller one. Then test to make sure whatever you changed didn’t break anything. If everything worked, you can delete the renamed original. So for example, from the terminal, I’d do:

# Assume the smaller filesystem contains /home and the larger is at /mnt/bigdisk
$ cp -a /home/USER/.local/share/Steam /mnt/bigdisk
$ mv /home/USER/.local/share/Steam /home/USER/.local/share/Steam.orig
$ ln -s /mnt/bigdisk/Steam /home/USER/.local/share/Steam

Even though this is probably what I would do, a word of caution: don’t do this if the stuff in question is required for the system to boot. And if you don’t know, don’t try it (or let it be a Learning Experience)! Generally, things under your home directory are safe, so if Steam’s installed there, that should be fine. Good luck!

Some of the most irony-poisoned bullshit I’ve ever heard, given all the socialism that businesses are benefiting from https://www.cato.org/policy-analysis/corporate-welfare-federal-budget-0

I mean…How much worse could it be than Boebert giving a hanjo to her boyfriend in a crowded theater? She’s sticking around…

Now that I think about it, I don’t even want to know. These people are fucking maniacs.

Thank you! Seeing a picture of Lawrence Krauss in a NYT article like this…god. It sustains me. See also this Rebecca Watson video: https://youtu.be/VNLdyWPAz18 wherein she talks about just how gross he is. Truly, we are lions led by donkeys. How these people manage to fail upward is really something to behold.
