If you put Schrodinger in a box with a cat and a vial that had a 50% chance of releasing a trolley that causes one hand to clap would it make a sound?

@weaselx86 @shelldozer @brouhaha You have to read to the third paragraph to get to the quote about it being too expensive to retrieve COBOL programmers from long-term cold storage and thaw them out. #SameAsItEverWas

Just a little reminder that here in Europe, we play the same exact video games as youth from the United States

We do not have (daily) school shootings however

Instead of blaming video games, start looking at the super easy to get weapons on each corner of street problem

Games are not the problem, weapons are 🇺🇸

Georgia is in play in 2024.

“I believe that Trump can be placed among a long line of demagogues who possess the skills needed to tap into the fears and anxieties of a group of people that perceives itself as marginalized, at risk and not in control.”

It worked for Democrat Lester Maddox in 1967, and it’s working for Trump this year

@rberger @pluralistic For those who don’t want to pay for seat selection, the latest seems to be purposely putting passengers “randomly” into the middle. 9/10 times that’s my default seat even if I’m registering way in advance and there are dozens of empty aisle and window seats.

In 1969, Justice Abe Fortas received $20,000 from a wealthy “friend” — and was forced to resign.

Today, Justice Clarence Thomas just admitted to receiving $4,000,000 from a wealthy “friend” — and nothing is happening to him at all.

Congress MUST investigate Thomas NOW.

* $20,000 in 1969 is worth about $170,000 today

Must be nice to get confirmed to the Supreme Court and realize not that you have been accorded the highest office of trust that the nation can bestow upon an attorney, but rather, you have just been given the biggest goddam cash cow of your entire career!

In the third level of purgatory, you are in an airport lounge surrounded by loud talkers yelling at their phones.

GOP sheriff candidates in Trump’s state reject his mass deportation plan: 'We’re not going to help' https://www.alternet.org/trump-deportation-plan/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

Of course Biden won’t pardon his son. It would be scandalously corrupt for the president to use his pardon power in behalf of a family member.

The only reason anyone even asks is that Trump used his pardon power corruptly, in behalf of cronies, donors, and—literally—his own criminal co-conspirators. By and large the news media gave him a pass. Just Trump being Trump.
