  • Brexit was bad actually, says new poll

    Jump

  • People who voted for Brexit are in the same category as people who voted for Trump: anybody with two working neurons between their ears knew it was a really stupid idea, but they done did it anyway. And now they're whining...

    Enjoy the misery you voted yourself in.

    If the UK ever wants to rejoin, Europe should exact a high-price for the privilege of acting like a little bitch and causing grief to everybody before letting them back in - first and foremost, compulsory adoption of the Euro.

  • As Falls Wichita, So Falls Wichita Falls - Pat Metheny

  • Lucky you. I never got to see them in concert. And it's not like I didn't try, but it was always sold out 🙂

    The only "unapproachable" famous artist I managed to see in concert was Al Di Meola some 20 years ago: I was in Belgium on business and I was bored at the hotel. So I checked out local music venues, and I literally found "Al Di Meola in concert" in some dinky local club in a little village near the German border.

    I thought, this must be another group called the same name. There's no way a big name like him would wind up in some unknown concert hall in Belgium. But... On a hunch, I bought a ticket - $25 or something similarly cheap.

    Turned out, it really was him. The venue was surprisingly well known among local music connoisseurs for punching way above its weight and managing to attract big names on a regular basis, and Di Meola himself likes to give concerts in this kind of places regularly, to change from big concert venues.

    There were like 500 concert-goers at the most, I was at the front row and it was among the best 2 hours I spent in my life man!

  • Hint: if you're in the hospitality business, you're in a position to disrupt the unconstitutional activities of the American Tonton Macoutes. You may pay a price, like they did, but you can resist if you really want to, and you own your business.

    As a consumer, you can also make sure you don't give your hard-earned to ICE-friendly businesses.

  • After Trump Snub, Machado Says She’d Share Nobel Peace Prize With Him

  • Fortunately, at 80 years old and with his unhealthy lifestyle, there's a fair chance that the Grim Reaper will find it in its heart to remove this vile shitstain from the face of the Earth.

    But Trump really isn't the problem. The problem is all the other Nazis in power, the corrupt Supreme Court, and the puppetmasters behind them all - the Heritage Foundation and the Federalist Society.

    And of course, ultimately the blame rests squarely on a largely idiotic, gullible, racist voting public.

  • Minnesota Hilton cancels ICE agents’ hotel reservations

    Jump

  • Well, this is one of the precious few things you can do as a consumer: give your money to companies and individuals that behave honorably and decently.

    And if enough people do it, it has real weight. The only thing corporations care about at the end of the day is their bottom line: they suck up to Trump because they think there's money to be made doing that, and they'll stop the minute they realize there's a silent, critical mass of people who choose to reward those who don't.

  • Minnesota Hilton cancels ICE agents’ hotel reservations

    Jump

  • But sadly, the Hilton chain ditched it.

    So remember: if you're in Lakeville, MN and you need a place to crash, this hotel seems like a decent one. As for the other Hiltons, I guess I'll find me another hotel to stay at, because I don't like collaborators and fascist enablers.

  • Oh, the guillotines are coming, for sure.

    I very much doubt that.

    Americans are armed to the teeth, they've always pretended the staggering number of gun deaths in the US was a necessary evil to keep the government in check, yet now that they're in the very situation for which they claimed they needed the guns, they ain't using em.

    Nothing is coming because there's nothing to be expected of a nation of dumb racist hicks and pretend tough guys.

  • I am NOT an expert on the subject of autism by any means, but I have a feeling a lot of things that are now classified as autistic traits used to be considered quirks of personality.

    For instance, as a child in the 1970, I was know to be a turbulent child who couldn't stay in place at school. Later I started to latch onto technical issues and deep-dive into them, all on my own , become an expert, then latch onto something else. I still do that today, and that used to be called "being a geek".

    But crucially, it was not an issue to be treated. Sure I was a PITA to my school teachers and I should have gone out more as a young adult. But there were - and still are - countless kids and adults like me, and they were and still are perfectly fine and perfectly functional. Just a bit quirky.

    My children were a bit like that too, but being of the next generation, their schools regularly called me to advise me to bring them to a shrink and pump them full of pills to quiet them down. I never did that because I never saw them as having a disorder of any kind. And I'm glad I didn't: they're happy adults with jobs and families of their own now. They didn't need any pills

    So I don't know. If you want to call personality quirks "being on the spectrum", fine: I'm on the spectrum. And so are my kids. But I think the key question isn't what it's called, but what to do about it. And I have a feeling that nothing is more often than not the right answer, because there's nothing wrong with it.

    AI doesn't have much to like on its face, but the terrible sonsabitches trying to ram it forcibly down everybody's throats - chief of which Microsoft, followed closely by OpenAI - are really doing their damnedest to make it properly hateworthy.

    Microsoft makes me hate AI the same way Trump makes me hate red baseball caps: they're not really that terrible in and of themselves, it's who wears them.
