Wait, I thought the postal service was obligated by law to break even. How could it be getting away with billions in losses?

I read "no longer has a presence in Australia" and briefly thought it meant they had blocked the entire site with their Great Firewall. But I think it just means their corporate offices. Also, again: Because both companies are guilty of this, but Elon Musk is just a douchebag with a website...

The next "gag order" had better be an order to the bailiff to physically gag the man. Either with a rag or by shoving something down his throat until he vomits, I'm not picky.

Taking a page from Xbox Live's book, I see.

Just copypaste it into a quote tag if it's all text.

To be fair, I don't think Israel needs any help from us. This isn't like Ukraine where a relatively poor country with an even poorer military is under seize by a superpower, and need us to foot them supplies. Nor would I really trust the US military with direct intervention after how poorly our...

They own all of the major media outlets. The only difference is how conservative, and how willing they are to pander to the other side to fill a niche. Anyone who's not a conservative isn't rich enough to afford to run more than a YouTube channel.

And it's a testament to the integrity of the country's citizenry that his policies resulted in such backlash. Both the protests and resignations immediately following his reelection and that new poll. See that, America? That's how you respond to one of the worst people on the planet somehow...

This is yet another issue Twitter has had an issue with for a long time. If the EU is only just now going after them for it because Musk is such an easy target, then fine. Glad they were finally able to find an excuse. Sure wish we didn't have this double standard where companies owned by single...

Nah, it's just social media brainrot. It's the same bullshit that was all over Tumblr back in the day, even among people I knew from other, older sites.

No doubt they're the same people who spent years calling people out for not speaking up about every single bad thing that crosses their feed.

Yep. Just like Nixon. Isn't "guilty until proven innocent" still the norm in Britain? Because it should go double for anyone in authority. Get accused of something, prove you didn't do it or you're convicted. Period. Trust has to be earned.

The only reason for Trump to want to be Speaker is that if Something Were To Happen to the current president and vice president, he'd automatically be next in line.

That... sounds like an "Ain't no rule that says a dog can't play basketball" technicality to me. Has anyone actually tested that idea?

I didn't even realize he took out a loan to buy it. I seriously thought he was worth enough to just...buy it with cash. Still, as long as he's keeping up with the payments, there's nothing the banks can do, right?

Huh. TIL there are members of the House who come from territories like Puerto Rico. They're not allowed to vote on the floor but it sounds like they're allowed to do everything else real Representatives can do. ...including run for Speaker, maybe? That would be pretty hilarious.

I think you may have stumbled onto the answer to my earlier question of how Canada is able to have more than two parties. And I said this back during the big special-election marathon of 2017-2018, but it bears repeating since it's been so long: Staggering downticket elections is a good way to...

Special election? Or do the provinces do their own elections on a staggered schedule?

Does anyone pay them? Or does he just keep racking up a debt no one has the balls to actually collect on?
