What is this "tee vee" you speak of? Nobody but literal boomers even owns one of those anymore.

The problem is that it's not "America" they're competing with, but the dictator currently in charge of it who has a vested interest in forfeiting the game because he was one of Epstein's top clients himself.

That's the part I don't know, whether Portugal's system is actually as secure as it sounds or if an expert would have the same reaction that they do to the idea of online voting. I would have to have access to my own panel of experts, and I am not Randall Monroe. Really, any time the idea of "We...

The idea is for the OS to be able to provide an ID validation to websites without the individual websites needing to check themselves, so I guess they would demand that all websites wanting to do business in their state to request said validation from the user's computer, and deny them access if...

Also it just reminded me of this comic strip from... I want to say 2014 or so? Back when if you wanted a software automated assistant to ruin your social life behind your back, you had to make one yourself.

If someone told me a story about a human personal assistant who did that, I'd say it sounded like something from a comedy film and in either case ask if they were deliberately trying to sabotage the boss's social life. Just another day in the Zuckerverse.

I was wondering when and why we'd start to see a massive spike in oil prices that will give me an excuse to start slapping Trump face "I DID THIS" stickers on all the gas pumps...

Then this will result in a blanket ban of Linux. Which is damn convenient for Microsoft, Apple, and Google and their lobbyists, who I'm sure have been looking for an excuse for a long time and might even be the ones responsible for this in the first place.

Rummage sale season started early this year. A church that canceled last October's sale bumped this spring's sale up to today and one of the regular customers told me about another sale I was never aware of before, in two weeks. Didn't find anything besides a wireless iPad keyboard (not as...

A few new shows that will be canceled halfway through their first season to make airtime for more Teen Titans Go reruns, no doubt.

No, they won't. They'll just lie again and say they didn't. Also where are you getting that they have to do this, or anything else in particular? I didn't see that in the article.

Which I'm pretty sure is the companies that imported the products, regardless of whether they passed the cost along to the customer in the form of higher prices. This isn't like sales tax where they print it right on the receipt and the customer is legally defined as the one who paid it. There...

More likely he'll just ignore them and continue to charge the tariffs on the grounds that nobody can actually stop him from doing whatever the hell he wants.

Other than England, none of those countries are in dire need of stripping Epstein's accomplices of their power. They're doing well enough for themselves. Meanwhile over here it's basically the entire goddamn establishment that's been in on this in some way, either as actual clients of his or...

If we had anything on file proving that aliens have actually landed on earth, we'd have found out back in Trump's first term because (A) it's the sort of thing every President would be briefed on early in his administration and (B) he absolutely would not have been able to keep his mouth shut...

It turns out when you get every single rich and powerful person in the world into your conspiracy ring, it means there's no one rich and powerful who doesn't have a vested interest in keeping those involved out of trouble, so even if the whole world finds out, no one can actually do anything...

"You can't marry a guy you just met!" "You can if it's true love!"

It has been known for ages that there is something deeply ingrained in British culture in particular that makes fascism a very easy sell, especially to those already in charge. 1984, V for Vendetta, Pink Floyd's The Wall, and even Harry Potter by way of analogy are all about how Not Only Can It...

Unless they actually shut HBO Max down altogether when I wasn't looking, they're still spending time and money running that. They just took most of the content off it for no reason. It's entirely possible that Warner's executives are trying to make it go bankrupt on purpose. It's also possible...

Only the worst and dimmest, just like every other branch of the administration. Unfortunately, they have plenty of reserves. And if they run out of those, they'll probably start a draft.
