They removed CD and DVD drives from devices.
They made physical media harder to buy and use.
They removed expandable storage from phones.
They pushed us toward streaming subscriptions.
They made always-online the norm.
They made unlimited internet necessary.
Then they slowly raised the price of everything.
Ownership quietly became renting.
My HS had a “smoking “ area that I had to walk through to get to the science building.
The world was a better place when it wasn’t any big deal to smoke in high school… like not a high schooler… but like places on campus.
When you could stand in the parking lot and smoke a cigarette by your friend’s car figuring out where to go.

Once again, no one can articulate what it is that Sec. Hegseth did to deserve impeachment. There are no answers from these losers.
Breaking News: Congressman Thomas Massie is reading Articles of Impeachment against @SecWar Pete Hegseth on the House floor now.

Democrats are determined to dilute this country's original ethnic heritage and replace it with the globe, turning America into a modern European shit hole of midwits. Late-Roman vibes.

That's how pivotal Charlie was to Gen Z and youth voter exposure to the movement.
I’d read & seen unsavory about TPUSA and Charlie Kirk that concerned me, but I admittedly didn’t follow either closely. I watched more Kirk after he was murdered and came away with the conclusion that the Right and GOP were better with him in the conversation than without him.
Without Kirk, TPUSA has fewer apparent redeeming qualities, but I’m not sure there’s another organization that is actively trying to sell any form of conservatism to college students.

Harsh, but fair
I'm less concerned about the rise of the so-called red-green alliance as embodied in all these blue victories (so many color codes) than I probably should be. I feel awful for the cities ruled by these commies but the country as a whole will survive.
My read on the public mood is simple: everyone was sick of the Trump bullshit and the way the Republicans have covered for it all and otherwise done nothing. It's deeply offensive to people who are financially suffering as never before in the midst of this terrible squeeze ongoing for six and a half years for this insufferably arrogant dude to go on about the greatest economy ever and the Golden Age. Nothing in any normal person's life confirms his claims.
This nonsense is refuted every gas station fill up, every time people open their banking app, and every time they have to see a doctor. Meanwhile, Trump cannot shut up about his ballroom, his refurbishing of the symphony hall, his reflecting pool, his arch, etc. It's offensive, all the while lying about his glorious war.
So much for his theater of being a McDonalds and sanitation worker! He said to imagine that he is on the ballot so people did.
As for the Dems, this pharma front will self-destruct; meanwhile with Trump's throttling and centralizing ways gone, the real movement he pretended to embody is hereby unleashed as never before.

wow
Damn bro, you got me. Turns out the White working class and 18–29-year-olds who just abandoned the GOP in droves only did so because Trump’s countless legislative triumphs made them all so fabulously wealthy, they transformed into Champagne Socialists overnight.
The best part is that I explicitly presented this as a ROLE-PLAY EXERCISE, and your response was to fact-check the price of Bob’s imaginary steak and diagnose his imaginary son with a personality disorder.
You have spectacularly missed the point.
Millions of Americans are struggling to afford the lives their parents enjoyed. Young people are graduating with degrees they were told would guarantee them a future, only to discover that the American Dream increasingly feels like a cruel joke.
The Republicans promised them a better life and only delivered arrogance and disdain.
And when someone asks you to consider why those voters are angry, your response is to explain that their problems are imaginary, their expectations are unreasonable, and their unemployed children must be defective.
You were supposed to be role-playing a Republican strategist trying to win Bob back. Instead, you demonstrated exactly why Bob left in the first place.
Congratulations. You’ve proven my entire argument better than I ever could.

Scalise is not a leader. Cerno tells you why.
Steve Scalise was shot by a feral leftist (most people don't even know this happened) and didn't even hold a hearing about ANTIFA violence, even as others without his means and police protection were being attacked. Charlie Kirk is dead in part because of this cowardice.

Bad news is we lost senate seats that won't be winnable for six years. Gut wrenching.
Here's the good news: in terms of electoral prospects, this is super easy to fix. Trivial, even:
1. End the tariffs now. If the Admin wants to make a case for a few targeted ones for bad actors, fine. But the broad tariffs must stop.
2. Either go balls to the wall on Iran to finish the regime, or pull out of the war. Do more limited stuff like "midnight hammer" if Iran tries to rebuild its nuclear program, but that's it.
3. Do not back off the stuff that IS going well, and a lot is. Crime at record lows. Border under control. ATF and 2nd Amendment Section doing great work. Government employment reduced. Etc. Do not learn the wrong lessons from what was an inflation-related election blowout and undermine the things that are working.
4. Finally, and this one may be the hardest for Trump: limit the stupid distractions.

Democrats will not be able to constrain their communist base; there will be endless investigations, and nothing will happen to make anything more affordable by Congress.
“Lawyer up.” Those were the first words tweeted by the soon to be new chairman of the House Oversight Committee after the Dems won control of the House last night. Will the Dem Congress become weaponized & try to destroy their political opponents or will they work to address affordability & try to make life better for the American people?

If Democrats were smart, they would focus on the economy to cement their positions for '28, but instead, they will probably direct all their energy into retribution and show trials.
Either way, the American people lose.
A conspiracy I can get behind
Théorie folle.
Bill Gates a compris avant tout le monde qu'on pouvait hacker le cerveau humain. Début des années 2000, il installe discrètement Windows Millennium dans la tête de tous les technocrates européens. Version jamais mise à jour, bloquée au Service Pack 1. Résultat : une backdoor ouverte dans chaque direction générale de la Commission.
Et franchement, ça explique tout.
Pourquoi chaque réglementation européenne fait 400 pages ? Fuite mémoire.
Pourquoi l'AI Act régule une tech qui a déjà trois générations d'avance ? Ils tournent encore sur Pentium III.
Pourquoi chaque innovation déclenche une procédure ? Norton Antivirus 2001, qui flague tout ce qui est nouveau comme une menace.
Pourquoi les bandeaux cookies partout ? Ce sont des pop-ups. C'est littéralement tout ce que leur OS sait faire.
Pourquoi rien n'avance jamais ? Le sablier tourne depuis 2004.
Pourquoi chaque sommet se termine par « on va créer un comité » ? « Windows recherche une solution au problème… »
Pourquoi dès que tu proposes un truc ambitieux, on te répond avec un formulaire ? C'est Clippy : « On dirait que vous essayez d'innover. Voulez-vous de l'aide pour remplir le dossier de conformité ? »
Le vrai drame, c'est que Bill n'a jamais compris la nature humaine. Steve Jobs l'avait bien vu : la tech seule ne suffit pas, il faut la marier à l'art et aux humanités pour créer quelque chose de beau. Gates, lui, a codé l'Europe comme un tableur Excel 97. Des cellules, des formules, des plafonds, des quotas, et zéro âme. Une vision du monde quasi communiste où l'objectif final est de mettre l'humanité en veille prolongée pour économiser la batterie.
Donc il n'y a plus qu'une solution.
Factory reset de tous les PNJ de l'Union européenne.
Ctrl+Alt+Suppr à Bruxelles. Formatage du disque C:. Réinstallation propre. Et surtout, on ne restaure PAS depuis la sauvegarde : elle est corrompue depuis le traité de Lisbonne.
On boote en mode sans échec, on désinstalle
Bureaucratic Mindware™ (vintage), on supprime les 47 barres d'outils « Green Deal » installées sans consentement, on vide la corbeille réglementaire, et on relance le continent.
Seul problème : on a lancé le diagnostic hier soir.
Message à l'écran :
« Ce programme a effectué une opération non conforme et sera fermé. »
Puis : « Voulez-vous envoyer un rapport d'erreur à Microsoft ? »
Bill attend toujours le rapport. 💾

Combination/bologna salad, Eastern Ky. style - 2” chunk of bologna, 1” chunk of cheddar/American cheese, sweet relish, mayonnaise (not Miracle Whip), and salt and pepper. Cut the bologna and cheese into small chunks and process in a food processor. You can add more or less cheese according to your preference. Mix everything together in a big bowl.

This young lady was able to articulate pertinent information to ATC about what conditions the jet was experiencing, while fully aware that the condition was likely unrecoverable and her fate was sealed. Information that will help investigators insure that no one else has to experience a situation like the one those poor folks faced.
To anyone who is disparaging her professionalism in the last few moments of her conversation with ATC, I genuinely hope you never find yourself faced with what those folks went through. She showed incredible bravery and to say otherwise is patently dishonest.
