The arch actually commemorates Russia's victory of the Cold War

Jon Ossoff: "He's trying to put his face on the money. Did you see that? He's building a monument to himself. But see, Atlanta, he's doing these things now, because no one will honor him when he's gone. Because he's a failed president and a national disgrace."

I am the arbiter of truth, as are you, where our truths align we can build. Some truths are intrinsic to our being in itself. They lead to all logical ends in math and science. Some truths are only shared via our shared existence over time. They lead to art.

The next Dem presidential candidate should propose a sliding scale for corporate tax rates tied directly to the percentage of their employees who receive SNAP or other public benefits The Walmarts and McDonalds' of the world have sucked us dry for far too long now by not paying people a living wage

The streaming services should make it so watching ads reduces the cost of your next bill by some given amount per ad. Then the choice to see ads is the users and there's consent. They could probably get away with doubling the base cost with a scheme like that in place.

Keep staring at this from the Xbox ad supported cloud announcement and can't get my head around it.

Power to the people!

This point needs to be made over and again: The main purpose of wealth taxes should not be to raise revenue. That's a small and secondary benefit. The main purpose should be to *reduce the fortunes of the ultrarich*. Why? Because those fortunes present a massive threat to democracy and public life.

For all their talk about free markets the markets are now completely controlled by a few oligarchs. Corporations no longer need to worry about the quality of their products or what consumers think of them they can just print money. 401k + ETFs + bot farms to support prices wherever they want.

What is about to happen to gas prices is the best thing to happen for the environment in a long time

If the North had just let the South succeed and helped all the black folk move North the people left in the South would have starved and those left wouldn't still be on the side of the losers. I'm ready to try it that way now.

I hope the Strait of Hormuz stays closed forever and everyone is forced to use wind turbines and solar. Humanity adapts and innovates when billionaires aren’t calling the shots. Let old systems crumble. Let capitalism croak. Let data centers collect dust. It’s time to quit fossil fuels cold turkey.

Counterpoint, he lost all branches of government and has no plan to get them back

Unpopular opinion alert: Chuck Schumer deserves credit for keeping his caucus in line until Republicans folded.

It's not complacency it's complicity

Hard to know which is more shocking - the dire warnings of the potential collapse of our food system in the UK or the fact that governments have tried to cover it up. Their complacency is off the scale. We urgently need to switch to growing more food domestically & to restore nature now

In the future historians will talk about how the 2016 US election marked Russia's victory of the Cold War allowing them to invade Ukraine without fear of the US.

I've got the solution to all this time stuff. We all agree to work 5 hour days Oct-March and 11 hour days April-Sept

Have fun trying to get out of bed with those extra dark winter mornings. Yikes. The human body needs morning sunlight.

Trump voters are complicit in the murders of millions of children, they were told USAID would be dismantled and they voted for it. They should be treated like the scum they are

Alright there algorithm, you've been cool about showing me data science and book posts but I need more dogs and luthiers in my feed!

People need food, clothing, shelter, healthcare and education. If you don't think we as a society can deliver that better than we are currently you don't have the vision to be in tech.

Imagine you had millions of people in your life who ignored everything you ever said but would show up once a year and make a huge deal about your birthday, claiming they were your biggest fans. Crazy, right? Anyway…Merry Christmas.

Is it really called splatting #dataBS? "You can roll your own “parabolic peak‐centering” in pure NumPy/​SciPy by fitting a little parabola to each FFT‐bin peak and then splatting its energy fractionally into the two nearest semitone bins"
