It's refreshing to watch an old politician make sense for 45 minutes.

Not just make sense, but be lucid, have complete sentences, and talk above a 5th grade level.

Even before their purchase by Microsoft, Activision had no love for Linux and probably viewed it as a mechanism for reduced profits

Just trying to emulate Russia. While doing so would be an ironic end to the US, I think we can pass on that.

A tracker to see the "progress" Project 2025 is making.

Sucks to hear about secure boot and the color models - hopefully someone's able to find a way around that eventually

You have to love how much of an absolute joke this is.

Dismantle government and services, I may no longer have a functioning FDA or Wildfire service, but at least I got a coupon for a bucket of KFC

 

Sending 20% of the roughly $8.6 billion of DOGE savings the group has so far listed on its website would amount to about $11 per taxpayer.

Not only is spelling ignored, but so is history

"When Texas became one of the United States, she entered into an indissoluble relation" (i.e you cannot leave the union)

Otherwise read as "slut life" for those of us with a dyslexic bent.

It's actually a reference to their original logo

 

Amanda Frost is a Law Professor at the University of Virginia Law. She says a constitutional crisis occurs when one branch of government, usually the executive, "blatantly, flagrantly and regularly exceeds its constitutional authority — and the other branches are either unable or unwilling to stop it."

Frost says the first half of her definition is already happening, and that it's clear President Trump has gone beyond the powers of the executive branch. She points to him trying to usurp Congress' "power of the purse" or trying to put an end to birthright citizenship as examples.

Considering their willingness to ignore or deliberately misinterpret court orders, I'd argue we've met the second part of the definition...

 
 
 

President Donald Trump on Friday said he plans to take executive action to overhaul — or possibly end — the Federal Emergency Management Agency, or FEMA, slamming the agency for its response to historic floods in North Carolina.

 

So it's very, very cold out. Very unseasonable.

 

Curious to see what they do with the "mouse" function, as well as how well the new Joycon attachment system works (as well as if they have Hall Effect sensors...)

 

Very nice to see a Pico format board with USB-C (and 5Ghz)

 

This is not the first time Trump has been accused of politicizing the military for his personal gain. He’s allegedly called dead soldiers “suckers and losers,” insulted the late John McCain for being a prisoner of war and recently stoked controversy for saying civilian Medal of Freedom recipients are much better than those who received the Medal of Honor — the highest military award in the country, often given posthumously.

 

The move followed a decision last year that the Biden administration had overstepped its authority by trying to forgive more than $400 billion in student loans.

 

Trump was questioned immediately on his rhetoric about race during a tense appearance at a Black journalists’ conference, where the audience at times gasped and scoffed at his remarks.
