Milo and POTUS posted:Yeah it sucks that Craigslist is basically a ghosttown at this point. I actually prefer the UI it has too The first and last time I went on FB Marketplace, I was bombarded by extremely thinly veiled sex work ads. I have no quarrel with sex workers and want them to have a safe and hospitable space in which to work, but it sure was something to log in for the first time and get hit with all of those ads at once. orange juche posted:As far as I know caro is staying well out of the spotlight The best possible scenario for Caro would be permanent placement on a “do not issue this man a passport ever again” along with continual psychological counseling and care. I was just a lurker in GIP at the time, but I remember his unhinged rants about the CIA gang stalking him in San Diego, challenging a cop to a fight (this is when GIP had monthly cop threads), and also parachuting into the D&D Middle East thread from time to time to piss people off and then retreat as abruptly as he came in. This was before Brown Moses and others started documenting his YouTube posts of him doing stuff that was technically against the law of armed conflict like engaging civilian infrastructure in Libya and doing “combat medic” stuff after teaching himself with YouTube videos. The irony is that if he had gone to Syria and fought alongside the Kurds against the Islamic State in 2014 instead of just showing up in 2012 and getting captured by Assad, he would have been regarded as a hero instead of a bizarre, creepy footnote in the forums history.

So Elon sent a letter saying it was wrong to hire all those people he fired? I doubt he even bothered with non compete clauses (at least any that would hold up) for those employees that were laid off via Slack. Zuck/Meta could even argue that they aren't competing with Twitter, since Twitter has made so many fundamental changes.

The letter is explicitly a "guy paying my hourly bills asked me to send" type letter. If you notice, the CEO of Twitter isn't even copied on the email. This is a 100% make elmo happy letter not an actual legally enforceable threat. It seriously deserves this type of response from Meta:

Everything he as done should have died in various balls of flame, yet somehow has managed to "fail up".

My life was made instantly better when I read this lede: This amazing levels of Boomer energy. quote:One of Broccoli’s spies had recorded Barbara Hobens, the former vice-president of the Friends, joking that Broccoli had connections in the “cement and stone” business. “Begins with M, ends with A,” she said less cryptically. Broccoli gave Hobens a nickname (“Barbara the Bigot”) and sued her for defamation, arguing that she had made “false and malicious statements” about his Italian American heritage. Hobens told me she intends to fight the case and that “my best friend is Italian.” This is anti Italian discrimination.

Is that supposed to be a video that isn't playing for me or something? I can't tell what's going on. Will admit I had absolute certainty one of his international buildings was going to get a bombing or something while he was in office. I really believed it would happen. He's the thinnest skinned person alive, an attack on his personal property with his name on it in 50 foot letters would have guaranteed some kind of reaction from the commander-in-chief.

I (briefly) looked at it while planning a trip. For its size, it has next to nothing inside. I wonder if it was originally meant to be a condo tower.

It was originally going to be a casino and resort on the strip, but Trump couldn't get a property on the strip nor could get get the appropriate licenses for the resort or casino. Thus it just became a giant hotel not terribly far from the strip.

It's a photo by G. W. bush of a skyscraper. "9/11 was an inside job" has been a tinfoil hat meme since 9/12/2001. The joke is that Bush is threatening to have the Saudis flatten a Trump building. There. That's the joke. Enjoy. Is Bush making that joke? Probably not. It's probably just a photo he took that has no significance attached to it.

Even if it’s only some types of state IDs/licenses that are invalid if it’s ambiguous enough then they may just blanket deny people from those states.

Florida is not going to be setting any trends with failing to respect other states IDs. Why would it get tossed? It'll be tried in a Florida court by a Florida chudge. Even if it goes Federal it'll stay in state. I don't think that any appeals process will result in relief.
