In a stunning feat of legal jiu-jitsu, Israel has skillfully executed the “Israel is rubber, Hamas is glue” defense. Genius! The only problem I can see with that is Hamas is not a signatory to the ICJ and the barbarity of a terror group like Hamas is absolutely no justification for a sovereign state acting like barbarians. But beyond that, as far as I can tell...case closed!
So, here’s an idea. Quit (oh please!) reacting to anything Trump does as if he’s like anything other than a buffoon. Simple. He’s not Hitler, he’s not dangerous, he’s been indicted on 91 felony counts and is going to prison for the rest of his life. Any other reaction inflates the self importance of himself and his followers. Quit giving it oxygen. Please.
If I were a Trump supporter...I’d make fun of the governors wheelchair...
In the era of Trump...not really surprising.
So... after reading all of the posts on the subject, I’m wondering if anybody realizes that there is absolutely nothing even remotely in existence that does anything like chores. Maybe the Roomba that I got six years ago and is now sitting in the closet next to the vacuum. Beyond that, I’m out of examples. The AI hysteria this stuff creates is amusing to say the least. 
I’m thinking it’s high time Congress came up with something like, oh, I don’t know, like a war powers act? You know, something that puts some teeth into their already broad constitutional powers to approve military action?...naaaahhhh...

If the media would have started treating these clowns like this in the 80s, we wouldn’t be in the mess we’re in today. Better late than never I guess.
Since the pot dealers have (kinda of) been put out of business by legal weed, I suppose they can keep their income up by taking up the birth control trade? I’m sure law-enforcement will just love busting, dealers, and fertile women. God bless America!!🙏
I love this headline! It really encapsulates our times in a beautiful, compact package.
@elaterite This is not new. Trends sweep tech and at CES, we see the worst of companies trying to wear the mantle without substance.
Which is not to say that AI isn’t a breakthrough tech and will have huge impact. It will. But it also will, for a time, offer us AI toothbrushes. This too shall pass.
My hot take? Like everything AI, tempest in a teapot. Technology moves forward until everyone gets over the changes that inevitably occur with disruption. 
Using AI means some communities are starting to collect quicker, more accurate data on salmon than the federal fisheries department https://thenarwhal.ca/heiltsuk-salmon-ai/

I’ve been looking for an incident where a victim of swatting has been injured. Can you help me out with that?
Breaking News!
This morning at dawn, country A with a military consisting of .00041% of its population attacked country B with a military consisting of .00043% of its population thus setting off a cycle of destruction and chaos for 99.99916% of their combined populations who would prefer to simply get on with their day to day lives.
So it goes.
America at its best
Personally, I think this is the best Trump rally I’ve seen yet.
And John Wayne Gacy was just a misunderstood performance artist.
