Biden needs a plan to win the election. I think the Biden Campaign will be up to the task, and they will have a massive war chest to paint Trump as a dangerous extremist.

A wise choice.

That fighting spirit and cross-coalition camaraderie will be hard but not impossible to recapture. To do so, potential defectors from Biden, as well as first-time voters for whom this is all ancient history, need not be bludgeoned with the past but rather asked to viscerally inhabit the consequences of a Trump victory. That also means facing a cold reality: Jan. 6 won’t cut it. The insurrection’s political utility for Democrats has been exhausted.

Journalistic malpractice.

We don’t need to fucking ‘viscerally inhabit’ anything. And Jan 6 is still in court(s)

Obviously I haven’t gone and read the article, but has the writer not been paying attention the fact that the Biden campaign has already started going after Trump while beginning the process of touting the administrations accomplishments?

The hard work of fixing the debt-fueled economic madness that Trump left behind, along with the crazy-ass international crises (Afghanistan, Iran, Ukraine, Taiwan, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, etc. etc.) was one that took a LONG time to start to come into focus.

If our luck holds up, gas prices will continue to slip as the U.S. helps out the Saudis. House Republicans won’t totally destroy the US economy just to make Biden look bad. Trump will only increase in his mixing up of words and senile screaming.

If Haley can keep the pressure on for just a month - two if the dogs align - then Trump will start coming apart at the seams. He’ll still get the nomination, but he will be fatally wounded, and may start shitting his pants audibly at his Nazi-style rallies.

There’s a number of ways Biden can beat trump.

I’m sure his team already has lots of plans. What do you think theyve been doing?
They’re effing pros.
Biden himself is “a veteran politician, probably the most veteran ever to occupy the White House” (todays electoral-vote.com)

“Rarely, as a union, do you get so clear of a choice between two candidates,” Fain said.

“It’s not about who you like. It’s not about your party. It’s not this bullshit about age. It’s not about anything but our best shot at taking back power for the working class,” he added.

“Donald Trump is a scab,” Fain continued. “Donald Trump is a billionaire, and that’s who he represents. If Donald Trump ever worked in an auto plant, he wouldn’t be a UAW member. He’d be a company man trying to squeeze the American worker. Donald Trump stands against everything we stand for as a union.”

You think so?

It’s all going to depend on whether or not those union members are going to be voting their interests (Biden) or their prejudices (Trump).
And that’s not a choice that’s clear at this point in time.

Though apparently, Biden and the Democrats will be getting some sort of advantage in Michigan: from all accounts, the state’s GOP is in serious disarray….

Samsung is adding 14 new devices to its self-repair program including the Galaxy S23 series, several laptops, TVs, soundbars, and even one of their projectors. With this update, users will be able to fix nearly 50 of the company’s products.

The full list of devices can be found in a post on Samsung’s website. It also details some of the serviceable parts. For smartphones, you’ll be able to fix the display, speakers, and charging ports just to name a pieces. Owners of a Galaxy Book2 Pro can repair the same parts as well as replace the batteries when they can no longer hold a proper charge. As for the projector we mentioned earlier, it’s the Freestyle 2nd Gen with Gaming Hub. Users can purchase a second remote control for the Freestyle in case the old one stops working, replacement speakers, and fresh circuit boards.

Something you need to know about these parts is you can only get them through the SamsungParts website; not iFixit. At the time of this writing, iFixit primarily focuses on offering service for Galaxy smartphones, tablets, a couple of Galaxy Book models, and nothing else. In this venture, the tech giant instead teamed up with distribution company Encompass to manage the website and provide parts.

Call of Duty’s anti-toxicity voice chat moderation system has detected more than two million accounts that are being investigated.

Last year, Activision announced that it would be implementing a new real-time voice moderation tool to its more recent Call of Duty games that would “enforce against toxic speech” by detecting things like “hate speech, discriminatory language, harassment, and more” from players.

A beta version of the AI-powered moderation system was added to Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone in August 2023 in North America in English only before later implementing it into Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, expanding it globally (minus Asia) and adding Spanish and Portuguese support to its moderation.

Now, according to the company in a recent blog post, its anti-toxicity system program has managed to detect more than two million accounts that have seen in-game enforcement for “disruptive voice chat, based on the Call of Duty Code of Conduct.”

However, Activision says it found an “unfortunate trend” that saw only one in five players report toxic behavior and speech. Still, in cases that go unreported, its voice moderation system would take action against players.

Call of Duty’s AI-powered anti-toxicity voice recognition has already detected 2 million accounts (Tech Radar)

This is exactly the type of stochastic racism as policy I’ve been talking about and how a MAGA America will work. Government agencies and policies will be totally corrupted and engineered to fail. The argument will be made manifest that it will be best to do away with all such agencies altogether.

Laws will be erased or simply ignored and it will once again be legal to discriminate on whatever tribal standards landowners consider important, and the number of landowners will concentrate into fewer and fewer hands. MAGA wants a weird combination of 1950s America and Mad Max. They are doing everything they can to broadcast it.

I’m not so sure about that.

Abbott is desperate. He sees that Trumpism is floundering on the rotting brain of DJT, and that state elections around the country are decidedly showing Americans do not want religious fundamentalism dictating women what not to do wrt abortion.

Don’t get me wrong: the religious right, the Trumping right, et. al. will become more desperate and thus more dangerous, as they see their zenith is in the past.

In the aggregate, yes, I think you’re correct. You know this; I’ve said as much here multiple times. My concern here is in the short term. Governor Abbott outright says, in this letter, that he has the unfettered right to overrule the federal government. This is literally what the Confederate States of America tried. And there are plenty of other GOP governors who would be willing to go along with this.

The US Supreme Court will not block Alabama from executing Kenneth Eugene Smith with nitrogen gas, a method never used before for capital punishment.

Smith had asked the court to intervene, saying that pumping toxic nitrogen into his body through a mask was cruel and unusual torture.

The execution is scheduled for Thursday.

Alabama already tried to execute Smith by lethal injection two years ago for his 1989 murder conviction.

Where Abbott is right.

1) Border protection is the responsibility of the federal government.

Where Abbott is wrong.

Texas doesn’t have the right to interfere with federal government enforcement of existing law, regardless of whether Texas likes it.
If Texas cared enough to change the law, Ted Cruz or one of their House Reps should author a bill allowing states to construct border fences, and reducing the power of the Border Patrol to process asylum seekers as per current law, the constitution, and treaty.

Or Texas should use eminent domain, and buy up pieces of land just short of the last piece of land on the American side that isn’t federally controlled and station their own troops there, as a secondary defense. Without blocking any Federal forces.

But I’m sure using eminent domain would be real popular in Texas…. *snark*

Unless there were actually the invasion that Abbot is claiming, in which case I’m sure Texans would be actually happy to sell tiny bits of land.

re: #75 aatharuv

Where Abbott is right.

1) Border protection is the responsibility of the federal government.

Where Abbott is wrong.

Texas doesn’t have the right to interfere with federal government enforcement of existing law, regardless of whether Texas likes it.
If Texas cared enough to change the law, Ted Cruz or one of their House Reps should author a bill allowing states to construct border fences, and reducing the power of the Border Patrol to process asylum seekers as per current law, the constitution, and treaty.

Or Texas should use eminent domain, and buy up pieces of land just short of the last piece of land on the American side that isn’t federally controlled and station their own troops there, as a secondary defense. Without blocking any Federal forces.

But I’m sure using eminent domain would be real popular in Texas…. *snark*

Unless there were actually the invasion that Abbot is claiming, in which case I’m sure Texans would be actually happy to sell tiny bits of land.

abbot wants to usurp clear federal authority over the border.
his argument is he’s not happy with the fed’s performance.
forget that he is not the arbiter of whether washington’s performance is adequate or not. and even if he is ‘correct’, that’s still not how any of this works.

what he has to explain is how this issue is different from any state usurping federal authority over any other issue because they dont like how the feds are handling it.

i’ll wait for his constitutional argument.

The most common ports of entry for inadmissible immigrants have also changed over time and are not necessarily located along the U.S.-Mexico border, contrary to popular belief.

Angry French farmers have brought the nation to a standstill by blocking major roads with enormous convoys of tractors as they protest against what they see as excessive EU regulations and low wages.

Pictures from across France show roadblocks and street protests set up by agricultural workers who are up in arms as part of a rising tide of anger among agricultural producers across the European Union.

In a display of solidarity truck access has also been blocked to the port of Calais preventing the transportation of goods to the United Kingdom.

Farmers in Germany and Poland were also out protesting against the European Uninion. In Poland there are concerns about cheap imports from Ukraine flooding the market and about EU green policies.

I think this is one reason that Apple refuses to use the term AI - the hype is too much for such early stages of LLM. Apple uses machine learning or Deep Learning, even as they have bought up more AI companies than Microsoft or Google. And Apple has offered to pay for access to publisher’s content rather than just scrapping it (the negotiations are still ongoing). If they can do this, their LLM may be much more powerful than those not able to access a lot of content. Many sites block AI bots leaving the LLM to be built on Right Wing/Nazi sites which welcome the tool.

So Apple might be able to avoid the stochastic parrot trap.

I expect that the scalpers will do well if they’re not stopped by the required face scan.
A product that’s selling well at $3,500 is selling to people willing to spend a lot of money on gadgets, and some fraction of those people will want it on day 1 despite failing to preorder.

And now, as they move to legally present themselves to Border officials, they are being arrested by Texas police for trespassing, the men and single women separated from the women with children. The latter are turned over to the Feds. The former are dealt with in State Court where the judge can have them ejected immediately, without the normal due process affored asylum seekers.

And these are for legal entries.

Some immigrants, looking for asylum, are told, ‘Turn yourself in to the first person you see in a uniform.’ When that person arrests them, I think the person in uniform might be violating international law.

Have one 5 letter word to go on Bee — but I always look at the Grid (often not until reaching genius).

A poll: Which for supper?
1. Leftover pizza
2. Biscuits & Gravy

Pizza is always the winner for me!

Women being forced to remain pregnant after being raped is a feature, not a bug, of the utterly repellant ‘pro-life’ movement.

There is no better way to reduce women to the status of baby-dispensing appliances than such extreme abortion bans, so naturally ‘pro-lifers’ are all over this like flies on shit.

Nitrogen is not toxic. It’s an inert gas.

So suffocation as opposed to poisoning.

Not all of them.

Tucker Carlson is coming to liberate Canada from the tyranny of Justin Trudeau.

That my country allows a drug dealer enter is sad. That the premier of a province will appear on stage with him is sickening.

For the New Year, I decided to set myself the goal - god knows why - of trying to do the daily Spelling Bee with NO “help” as much as possible.
So no peeking at the grid or the hints unless completely stymied.
Like you, I guess, I got them all today except one word before (inadvertently, I swear!) using a Clue. Even then, I had no idea what the word meant, so I guess it’s OK….

Oxygen will burn you to a crisp when all you do is have a quick smoke in your oxygen tent.
It’s always around us, waiting to strike.

Yeah. Apollo 1. “The ignition source of the fire was determined to be electrical, and the fire spread rapidly due to combustible nylon material and the “high-pressure pure oxygen cabin atmosphere”

Governor Abbott has finally declared that Texas is in open rebellion against the United States. The Second American Civil War is on.

Our Governor, “Wheels” Abbot, is an absolute idiot, and I hope the Feds call his bluff.

And I live in Texas. I want the Feds to fuck Greg Abbot right up his ass.
