I wanna say there’s a model out there fitted with Buffalo Springfield - For What it’s Worth, too

Open in browser worked for me

I know my bar has dropped a lot, but he spoke for an hour and fielded questions. He was pretty damn coherent, and knew what the fuck he was talking about defending his foreign policy decisions, etc. it kinda sucks all of that is boiled down to he said the wrong name.

I want him to step aside for another candidate. His “bad debate night” was scary as fuck. But this article is ridiculous.

he spoke confidently on a range of complex issues from the tax code and trade policy to Russia and the Israel-Hamas war.

BUT…

God this server is stupid as fuck

But the article is about Columbia University. A private institution. It is not a public university

Columbia University is not public space

So ACAB, and we are a country with stupidly low quality of freedom despite the morons who just think guns=freedom, and fuck this was a BS move.

However, the Constitution states only that the government will not pass laws that interfere with freedom of assembly. Courts have decided that this includes protests, picketing, labor strikes, etc.

Courts have also concluded that this doesn’t mean you can assemble wherever you want, namely on private property. These students were essentially just trespassed by the university. Can’t really blame the policeor government for this one, unless you want to lean more extreme that they should be saying “fuck off, we disagree”. But I’d rather have a system where the police follow the law because I don’t trust any of them to make any good decisions on their own morals.

The chief even came out with a statement that was a dig at the university president that he only observed peaceful protest, not the bullshit she was claiming.

They don’t make em like they used to. I died at “my lawnmower!”

You might recognize a younger, less murderous football player named OJ Simpson catching and attempting to spike a baby.

The Untouchables movie scene for reference:

She absolutely did, but she isn’t even a footnote. People having kids today might not even know who she is.

If you look at data, vaccination support was lower in 2008 than it got in 2014 when it dipped again due to Wakefield. He is blamed for specific incidences, like measles outbreaks at the time. But a bigger dip happened in 2019 with the bullshit nationalism messaging (don’t let the government tell you what to do)

He’s all of one half of one sentence in the main wiki article on the centuries-old antivax movement, shared with a 1980’s similar scare.

I think we have age bias – it was the story of our time so we as more weight to it. There are so many true and false stories of vaccines for centuries.

I think a better analogy is you’re trying to say without Bill Gates, personal computing wouldn’t exist, when it was already moving in that direction, and Hell, I’m pretty sure apple and Microsoft build their idea on an operating system that was created by xerox first.

I’m not sure what the implication of this meme is, but I found the quote:

The FY24 PB requests $150.3 million of Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation (RDT&E) funding to complete the Air-launched Rapid Response Weapon (ARRW) AGM-183A rapid prototyping program. While the Air Force does not currently intend to pursue follow-on procurement of ARRW once the prototyping program concludes, there is inherent benefit to completing the All-Up Round (AUR) Test Flights (ATFs) to garner the learning and test data that will help inform future hypersonic programs and, potential leave behind capability support.

Also from the same guy:

There are different approaches to delivering hypersonic capability. And we have not ruled out any of those approaches for the Air Force in the future,”

So they did tell this subcommittee they would keep doing the tests (November). And in the 2024 article, it says these are still test ones, and they still haven’t announced intentions to officially buy any.

“The [ARRW] program intends to conduct additional testing in FY24”

But each one of those things is around 15 million dollars…

what a terrible way to live in such modern times, the year of our Lord MMXXIV

What I mean is that whether he existed or not, something was bound to mainstream the antivax movement

At this point, he was a symptom. He was pushing a narrative those people already wanted to hear. They’d likely still be the way they are. They’d have found their excuse somewhere. And by now, anyone not immediately, loudly, aggressively pushing back on the bullshit narrative are bad actors with ill intentions
