From the Apple press release:

Cook will continue in his role as CEO through the summer as he works closely with Ternus on a smooth transition. As executive chairman, Cook will assist with certain aspects of the company, including engaging with policymakers around the world.

I guess Tim isn’t ready to give up handling the bribes just yet.

We’re going back to drawing on maps with sharpies.

She has well and truly earned every stress-induced illness, every sleepless night, every mental breakdown she experiences. May she singularly feel all the hardship she has caused others.

He’s completely nonverbal the whole movie, til the last scene, and says, “well excuuuse me, princess!” Cut to black, roll credits.

Gross as all 3 of these people are, this isn’t Bondi, according to Snopes: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-epstein-photo-bondi/

Question: is Tucker sanewashing Fuentes by giving him an in to mainstream media? Or is Fuentes “nazi-washing” Tucker and helping him out by giving him access to Fuentes’ audience? For a much better breakdown than I can give, Dan & Jordan at Knowledge Fight just covered this in episode 1089.

Tucker has already debased himself, as if that were possible, by interviewing the likes of Alex Jones (who of course has had Fuentes on his show multiple times). It’s not like he’s any more guilty by direct association. Given that 30-40% of young republican DC staffers may be groypers (not exactly a scientific poll but I mean…doesn’t this comport with recent experience), is it surprising that he’s cozying up to a literal nazi in a desperate attempt to stay relevant to the next generation of republicans?

And as Knowledge Fight (honestly pretty exhaustingly exhaustively) shows: Fuentes has been making the rounds lately. All the right-wing grifters and shitheels have had him on—they are fully on board with the sentiment. This is precisely what 4chan circa 2016 hath wrought: the old guys are still “hiding their power level” but the young republicans are out and proud nazis. This is just Tucker tapping into that base. For money.

As bleak as all that is, I still hold on to hope that there are enough of us who have resisted the brainrot and redpill propaganda enough to see these goofy assholes for what they are. Because listening to what they have to say should be a potent vaccine against their ideas. If you’ve got even a shred of humanity left in you.

It seems vaguely relevant, so I’m just going to leave this here: https://lemmy.zip/post/52118661

Here’s an example. One of the pills my wife took for several years to treat her breast cancer cost $16330.08 per month. Another was $15280 per month. So $100k would’ve lasted her about 6 months (she took one drug, then switched to the other). This of course doesn’t include the chemo given by injection, the medications she took to combat all the side effects from that, the radiation therapy, mastectomy, reconstructive surgery…

But if you’ll let me opine for a minute here, $100k from Taylor Swift is an insult. Just as a goof, let’s reframe this from Taylor’s perspective. She flies around in a Dassault Falcon 7X. This plane has a fuel capacity of about 32,000lbs, which at 6.75lb/gal and a nationwide-average Jet-A price of $6.28/gal today, costs about $29770 to fill. So it’s about 3 1/3 tanks of gas for her plane. Apparently a child’s life is worth about as much to her as not having to fly commercial a couple times.

But it’s even more ridiculous than that, because Taylor Swift is worth $1.6 billion. $100k is a smaller chunk of her net worth than a single fucking Big Mac is to the average American. Don’t go to McDonald’s. Eat the rich instead.

This dead-eyed nazi ghoul is 30 years old? Ugly inside, ugly outside.

My rule of three: consider rewriting any article, blog, exhortation, argument, leaflet, or wiki page that uses more than three fonts, sizes, colors, or styles.

This might be the most honest thing he’s ever done.

Now she can die of heatstroke, and the coroner can ignore the two bullet holes in the back of her head and call it “natural causes”.

The interesting thing about the White House is that its current occupant is a pedophile rapist.

Stories like this just reinforce my belief that AI will destroy us all. Not with a cool robot uprising like Terminator or Blade Runner, or even enslavement of humanity like the Matrix or Wall-E. We get the stupid future, where civilization ends when a Reddit shitposter creates a Trump-flavored chatbot and convinces the joint chiefs that they need to send him the nuclear codes via Signal because you can’t text on the red phone.

He’s stupid, yes, but he surrounds himself with people who are also greedy and malicious. This is just straight-up market manipulation.

After Trump announced plans to levy tariffs on the metal, copper futures jumped as much as 17 percent, Bloomberg reported.

The play is simply to buy a bunch of futures contracts beforehand, wait for the announcement and the resulting price spike, and sell immediately for a tidy 17% gain, or hold til just before he announces yet another “extension”. How many times has this happened so far this year? It’s so tiresome.

Obligatory

He’ll soon be crawling back to negotiations like a bird on its belly, crowing the entire time that whatever idiotic thing he is going to do has brought Canada to heel. Sad. Weak. Trump always chickens out.

From here I’d boot from a rescue usb stick or something and mount the system partitions under it to continue troubleshooting.

If you don’t have one or it doesn’t work, you may be able to get into the system by passing init=/bin/sh or similar on the kernel cmdline. You’ll get a bare minimum root shell without a login prompt.

Thanks for this, I didn’t know that either. And then there’s this gem from Herzl regarding the origins of Mauschel:

at some dark moment in our history some inferior human material (eine niedrigere Volksmasse) got into our unfortunate people and blended with it.

It really is just racism all the way down.
