It’s so great that Republicans made regulating AI illegal. /s

The article doesn’t say the group has anything to do with Israel, though, other than being of the same religion as Israel’s government. Even the title specifies that they are French Jews.

There’s probably some important context the article leaves out. Maybe French law requires companies to not align with political groups or something.

Yeah, but he also killed the guy who killed Hitler, so it balances out.

Also the Onion. They’re supposed to be satirical, of course, but reality is so insane right now that they’re basically just reporting on the actual news in a comedic way.

The fundamental basis of conservatism is that freedom means having power over other people. Therefore they believe that any attempt to extend freedom to others means taking it away from them.

“Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?”

Eradication =/= extermination. The latter means zero left alive on the whole planet. The fact that the US stopped at clearing screworms from only North America while leaving them alive in the south (and Cuba) always left the possibility of this happening.

This is really bad. The US should have put in the funds to exterminate this thing while we still had a functioning government. I dislike the article’s focus on prices as the main consequence here. Screwworms are fucking horrifying, and they can affect humans, too.

Sorry, Harvard is a stronghold of the left now? What do words even mean?

“You can beat the rap but you can’t beat the ride.” This has been a police intimidation and harassment tool for a long time, now being openly deployed by the US president against his political opponents.

This is something that will probably be lost in the churn of the news cycle because most people don’t understand it, but it’s actually really bad for the US government. The reason this country has been able to get by with such a large debt until now was that the interest was kept low by the fact that lending money to the US was seen as very safe. A change in that status quo could bring the whole house of cards crashing down with calamitous results.

Watch Trump give lucrative disaster response contracts to private companies owned by his biggest donors. Maybe Musk will dump a bunch of cybertrucks on the government somehow.

Wait, has Ben & Jerry’s always been this based?

Shocked Pikachu face

Yeah, that’s all true, but on the other hand there’ll probably be a lot of money to be made for a while there, so who’s to say whether it’s bad or good overall.

The bar is on the absolute floor, but I’ll take it. Better than that one guy who said he didn’t regret his vote after ICE got his wife.

No it isn’t. The Democrats haven’t had their convention yet.

Putin thought he could defeat Ukraine in three days, and the result is two years and plus of war, tens of thousands of casualties that he will admit to, and US-made weapons now being fired into Russia. I don’t see him being the kind of 4D Chessmaster you seem to think he is.

So, the answer is basically “Because the city government decided they didn’t want pedestrians to die, and acted accordingly.”
