tl;dr: he owns 3 golf clubs in New Jersey. For reasons that I don’t remember, the one near Philly gets to retain it’s liquor license. The other two have only been given short-term provisional permits since his conviction last summer. The New Jersey attorney general is now deciding whether those licenses should be revoked.
Interesting bit at the end, in that he “cannot own a firearm and will have to give a DNA sample”.
Musk, Bezos and Zuckerberg will be sitting together at Trump’s inauguration. This also is a comment that I felt like making for no particular reason.
Virtue signalling means that you want to appear like you’re better than you actually are, at least in public.
So it means that Zuck thinks people who leave Meta are actually scum, they just want to look nice to others.
Because live captions are frequently shit, especially for live broadcasts of local or regional issues. They’re behind the images that are shown on the screen, so you get things like someone saying “you see here where the fire is coming from” and they switch to a second map just as the captions appear on the screen. The captioners are rushed and can’t always keep up and they make typos. Auto-generated captions lose words and nuance and sometimes just output pure gibberish.
the American people will turn on him quickly if the news is full of children and hardworking families being rounded up.
Why would they? A significant portion were perfectly fine with those reports last time he was in office.
My issue is the disparity of the pictures, with the bowtie picture having the duck’s entire neck almost completely in shadow, while the shadow is comparatively minimized on the necktie image. It’d be nice to see both options under both light and dark conditions.
That said, I currently prefer the necktie; it provides an element to the rest of the body. I’m the bowtie picture, everything is happening around the head - beak, eyes, hat, bowtie - leaving the rest of the body comparatively empty.
I also think it’s unfair to compare the percentage amounts of current tips to those from 2021, a time when the pandemic was still roaring through the country, a lot of people were trying really hard to support service workers, and everyone had received a bunch of extra money.
Nah, with Trump in office, he’ll be delighted to hire in H1B slave labor …
[Obi-wan Kenobi voice] Daily Galaxy. Now that’s a name that I haven’t heard in a long, long time …
So, are they any more reputable than they used to be, now that they’ve been acquired by a venture capital firm, instead of being more focused on the fringier edges of science?
I was wondering when he’d find out. Fucker.
Have him on probation, with a gps tracker on his leg, weekly check-ins and mandatory drug tests. Fucker.
Oh, for for Elaine Buckner, and what a clever idea!
Moderna is a bit stronger than Pfizer, so that makes sense. For anyone having a strong reaction to the mRNA vaccines, you should consider NovaVax, a more traditional protein subunit vaccine for covid.
I could totally see Tesla realizing some part needed a recall and not wanting the poor publicity, so they tell it to randomly display a message saying “possible error in <some part>, please see your dealer”. And then when the user comes in, they stealthily fix the part without telling anyone.
His grandparents were Nazis. His parents intentionally moved to Apartheid South Africa where they ran illegal emerald mines. He’s said he needs H1B visas because he wants to drastically overwork his “employees” and if they’re not on H1B visas they’ll leave. Is anyone at all surprised by this?
Privatize profits, socialize losses. Again.
The South Texas Republican who authored the safe haven law doesn’t take issue with those decisions. “The problem is, if you do state funding, then you’re tied to it,” Rep. Geanie Morrison explained recently when asked about an awareness campaign. “Better to have it be a local issue.”
Ah, yes, the traditional Republican chant of “I became a lawmaker because I didn’t want to be responsible for anything” …
Just a thought, but maybe they shouldn’t have forced women who didn’t want babies to have babies.
Every time you saw one of those MAGA freaks complaining about the cost of food, and looked at photos of their actual grocery carts, it’s like these people had never considered the cost of food before. All of it’s high-end food that they’re bitching about being expensive.
I hadn’t paid that much attention to their grocery carts, but I still think the economic anxiety argument holds weight. They look at their grocery carts and rising prices and they get anxious, because they know how tenuous their hold on their economic status is. They didn’t want to lose that status, because they know how badly the next lower rungs are treated and they didn’t want that for their family
And he’s already prepping his get-out clause, whatever “issues” he decides are “unresolved”.
