“Even though Machia says he would still vote for Trump”. We are all screwed. This person is directly negatively impacted by the person he voted for and complaining but vote for additional negative consequences moving forward…which they will also complain about.

Pretty sure a stated objective of the administration is the closing of FEMA with disaster response responsibility moved to the state. Josh should know this. He should be refusing any offered assistance to set an appropriate example.

If they aren’t providing support to red states they are going to completely refuse blue states. Hope forest fire season isn’t intense on the west coast cuz I think we’re on our own.

Pretty sure Elon and Kanye are on the same path. So Elon will take some time off and then suddenly have another manic episode and repeat everything 2x worse than the last time.

You see…we cut taxes for the wealthiest Americans and then…a tariff happens…and then Mexico pays for it?

Ukraine would be happy to take their place. If Hungary doesn’t have an interest in promoting EU values then they should make room for a country that will.

At this point I actually wonder if they remember where they hid it. I wouldn’t.

Uses to go to Mountain Jam at Hunter Mountain in NY almost every year. It’s still a smaller event than the big ones and I think it makes a huge difference. It’s amazing but I haven’t been since before the pandemic. Camping with a couple thousand of your closest friends that you’ve never met while live music plays all day and night is incredible. Just migrating between campsites and sitting down for beers with everyone while they do the same with your campsite is a lesson to humanity.

Getting into music is always fun and joining some local bands really gets you involved. There’s a good number of folk that got into it later in life and are now amazing musicians (anecdotal personal view). It’s never too late. Also, buddy of mine started climbing mountains in his 40s and is having a real good time with that.

I’ve had an Apple Watch 5 since it came out and I see no reason to upgrade. The only thing I really dislike is the battery life but to fix that you’d need to get a Garmin or similar. So can’t think of a reason I would upgrade.

I wonder what happens to Google without the advertising monopoly. They kill off everything else they build so realistically they are just an ad company at this point which offers a declining search engine. While they won’t be dethroned anytime soon in search, they keep making it worse so I have to imagine it won’t be gaining users. If they did break it out, maybe that will improve search.

He backed Trump due to the president’s commitment to the rule of law, he said, but now Mr Ripp thinks Trump is flouting the correct procedures for reducing the federal workforce.

Fucking what??? The convicted felon???

That to me is the shock. There is probably nothing Trump could ever do to lose that 45%. I mean he could literally shit in their carpet and they would frame it and put it on the wall. 45% of Americans are completely cut off from reality…that is a very dangerous situation and I don’t know if there is a solution.

Pretty awesome and they have crazy features for camping like a slide out cooking top. I like the interiors a lot. Owned quite a few Volvos because I liked their interiors as they feel really quality (to me) and just make me happy to sit in and I got that same feel for Rivian. I focus on interior because that’s where I sit and I think of the Rivian interior as a mix of Volvo and Land Rover. I do a lot of camping and this would be the vehicle for that…you get basically a remote generator anywhere you go.

I’m due for a new vehicle and likely would have just got a model X if Musk wasn’t Musk. So, I’m at least one lost sale. Likely going Rivian.

We will hear an immediate news bulletin that all post office vehicles will be model Ys or something like that.

What is the logic on this one? These are companies moving production to the US…he’s trying to stop that???

As an artist on the streaming platforms, I don’t just distribute music to one, it gets sent out to all. I put the most effort into growing my Apple and Amazon music streams as they actually pay. Spotify gives me by far the most streams but they don’t pay shit so I just don’t put much effort into that. YouTube seems to pay pretty well for music streaming, even got some royalties from TikTok even though I didn’t realize I was on there. I heard Tidal and Deezer pay well but I don’t have listeners there so not much I can do with that.
