Like way to kill your platform for anything educational where you want to pause to look at a graph.

She had to get that "fired" line in. She knew that would get under his skin.

Don't blame her one bit.

What, wait they were doing a mock trial? Holy fucking shit.

They can't do it for real, so they just make it up entirely! Holy. Fucking. Shit.

The depths of them making shit up is just unbelievable.

the government has given the go-ahead for the first step towards complete digital sovereignty in the state, with further steps to follow.

The term digital sovereignty is very important here. If a public administration uses proprietary, closed software that can’t be studied or modified, it is very difficult to know what happens to users’ data:

We have no influence on the operating processes of such [proprietary] solutions and the handling of data, including a possible outflow of data to third countries. As a state, we have a great responsibility towards our citizens and companies to ensure that their data is kept safe with us and we must ensure that we are always in control of the IT solutions we use and that we can act independently as a state.

Digital sovereignty seems to be the primary impetus, so this might go far. Saving money is secondary.

Jesus Christ!

My old post: Christians think gay people are trying to convert people to being gay because Christians try to convert people to being Christian.

"Too late. You blew it. It's going to be very difficult for you to recover from this. You betrayed your base," raged X user Mark Watson who then began promoting Trump for speaker.

So random voters.

Actually a legit question.

...Chief Justice Roberts’ oft-cited remark that the job of a Supreme Court justice is to “call balls and strikes, and not to pitch or bat.”

The concept of identity-protective cognition helps explain Justice Scalia’s reflexive response to the question of whether fish is meat. Rather than dispassionately considering arguments rooted in biology and social practice, he jumped immediately to his group identity as a practicing Catholic. That identity led him to a clear answer that reflected his group’s moral values and shared commitments: Fish is not meat.

That's the setup and knockdown.

There it is folks.

Ok a 50 page memo? That's pretty friggin long. Depends how many of those you get a day.

But:

I summed up this highly classified memo into Trump's sort of bombastic language because it was the only way he was gonna understand," Taylor added. "I mean, I literally said in there, 'You know, if we leave Afghanistan too fast, the terrorists will call us losers. But if we wanna be seen as winners, we need to make sure the Afghan forces have the strength to push back against these criminals.' I mean, it was that dumb and that's how you had to talk to him."
