Raskin is a rep and would actually have a tough time getting one of the MD Senator seats. We've got a lot of conservative areas and blue dogs and it would be much harder for him to win statewide vs just Montgomery county.

Biden's positioning himself to be an "ally to Israel" but not to Bibi. Bibi's a sinking ship. They don't actually care about anyone in Gaza though.

They're not in Gaza, they're in US ally Qatar.

His focus on iron age temperature goals with neolithic tech is so strange.

I don't think it'll happen willingly. They don't want it to be a drain on their cloud business and they don't want it to use AWS either.

Alphabet would be less impacted by interest rates or VC money since they're a megacorp. I'm curious if for them they are afraid of not being competitive enough if they get trust busted.

I'm curious what's driving this revenue rush at Alphabet. It almost feels like something internal, like they're trying to make it actually self sufficient based on cloud pricing.

Marge "jewish space laser" Greene trying to censure someone for incomplete support of Isreal. What a fucking laugh.

Too international to be run by a single government and a consortium wouldn't know who to ban. A nonprofit couldn't really afford the infrastructure required to run it. The problem lies in how the Internet works.

Alphabet absolutely needs it's cloud hosting, ad servicing, video hosting and software as a service trust busted though. Same with Amazon's cloud, twitch, video, physical distribution, and marketplace.

There doesn't exist sci fi that isn't political. Even space opera and strange fiction is political.

Funding coming from local taxes and causing severe differences in education quality is as American as Apple Pie. It's a old segregation holdover.
