The lack of an endorsement is a big blow to Trump, who invited O’Brien to be the first Teamsters leader in the union’s 121-year history to speak at the Republican National Convention in July.
Sounds like O’Brien knows that he went a step too far in assuming a Trump win was inevitable and kissing the diaper.
Why do you think I still live in Texas?
I don’t know if he hates it, but it’s definitely tied to something almost compulsive:
His mother urged him to go to college, but he dropped out of East Carolina University after two weeks. Instead of going to class, he spent most of his time on campus editing videos in his car.
“That’s all I ever talked about at school. I thought I was a freak of nature,” he told content creators and podcasters Colin and Samir in September. “People would tell me, ‘All you do is talk about YouTube videos. You’re too obsessed with YouTube. Get a life…’”
…In past interviews, Donaldson has said he studied the YouTube recommendation algorithm and other creators’ stats meticulously to come up with a recipe for making his videos popular.
Fair enough. That makes a lot of sense. I have heard that the failure model for this thing likely would have been some cracking sounds, and then the implosion, but I probably shouldn’t speculate quite so hard. At any rate, the whole thing was a disaster waiting to happen, and whaddaya know, it did.
At approximately 2,274 meters, the Titan sent the message, “All good here,” according to the animation.
The last communication from the submersible was sent at approximately 3,341 meters: “Dropped two wts,” meaning drop weights, according to the Coast Guard.
All communications and tracking from the submersible to Polar Prince were lost at 3,346 meters, according to the Coast Guard.
I’m assuming a lot here, but dropping weights would likely mean they were trying to ascend. They may have had just over five meters’ worth of knowing something was going wrong (whatever that means in terms of time) before the implosion.
“threads.net” = downvote, I reckon
I was all but bending over backwards trying to hear how it might have been just a slip, bringing to bear the fact that both words have a nasal consonant and hard ‘g’ sounds, but… nope. He enunciates an ‘n’ again, clearly after he’s done saying “Haitian” and therefore where it doesn’t belong, and then he gets all the way to the hard ‘-er’, a “murmur diphthong” that simply doesn’t exist in ‘immigrant’ or ‘migrant’. The most charitable explanation with any plausibility whatsoever is that the n-word is a part of his spoken vocabulary and he failed to censor himself quickly enough.
Fuckin’ gross.
Cadets and Midshipmen are recommended by elected officials, and their future employers have management needs that will go way beyond “Cooper got two points higher on the SAT after his parents paid for twenty prep classes.” I will be interested to see what this particular SCOTUS thinks when confronted with the US military saying “we need this to optimize national security.”
I read through some of the guy’s twitterings yesterday. He was not well, to put it mildly.
“figure out what a peaceful settlement looks like,”
Per the article, followed immediately by ceding the currently occupied parts of Ukraine to Russia and Ukraine promising never to join NATO or “related” organizations. Ukraine gets a “demilitarized” zone to do what, of course, THE INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED BORDER was supposed to do.
Fucking hell. We wouldn’t ask Iran for terms like that, but a maturing democracy that is allied with us… it’s fine. After all, the west did shitty things like “offering a more appealing value proposition.” Trump is not even good at being a hegemonic power.
!fuckcars@lemmy.world is getting a bit intense…
The story is from The Independent.

And yet very possibly not the worst person nominated for that specific vacancy.
Samuel Alito, a federal judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, was nominated four days after her withdrawal and subsequently confirmed.
MTG is just happy she finally found someone (slightly) more racist than her:
“If @KamalaHarris wins, the White House will smell like curry & White House speeches will be facilitated via a call center and the American people will only be able to convey their feedback through a customer satisfaction survey at the end of the call that nobody will understand,” Loomer wrote.
Yeah, that asshole is nobody’s favorite.
Well, I did it again. I clicked the “show in context” icon on Alexendrite instead of the identical one to add a link and nuked my comment. :-)
Summing it up:
So a little bit of investment in stadiums here, a new TV deal there, some exciting QB play, and a sprinkling of Canadian exceptionalism… Sorry, wrong CFL.
Some people think that failing ballasts will trigger their thermal protection, so it could be as simple as cooler weather or components that are failing but haven’t yet, and a little variability in temperature or the intial jolt of electricity may make it work for a while. I generally found CFLs to be finicky and annoying after a while, though i don’t recall ever having one that seemed to die completely and then come back.

“It’s always projection.” 🤣
But you see, Maduro is an unhinged left-wing authoritarian, and trump is an unhinged right-wing authoritarian, so they’re very different!
