I guess if I was :tinfoil: I would try to make something out of two explosive laden* electric pickups getting into poo poo on the same day.

* Samsung wanted to autocorrect "laden" to "Laden" THEY'RE ON TO ME

Well, holidays bring out both terrorists (gatherings to target) and people doing stupid stuff more than usual (booze and fireworks); and sometimes it takes some work to figure out which happened.

The investigation is that bad huh?

I don't think it's the cops' job to be editors for NBC, they already have way too much influence on reporting as is.

This is probably true but I'm just out of patience with every single dogbrained poo poo thing happening so I can't bring myself to care about the finer details

I think there are enough actual lovely things it may be for the best not to get upset about things which have very high chance of not actually happening. You can always get upset if they actually do!

could I interest you in some fired nazi italian soccer falconer robodick

because you should be searching for all the updates on the nazi italian soccer falconer robodick and lately, him barricading himself in a team office

I've kept it mostly contained to the NCAA Football thread because the Shutdown Fullcast made it prominent, but here's a sampling of the nazi italian soccer falconer robodick barricading himself in a team office

OpenAI has Microsoft and Softbank pockets so don't hold your breath.

Which is sort of the problem with this proposal --- why spend public money on something the industry is already heavily investing in? (Probably some sort of grift).

Yeah with states getting shut out of Medicaid, Head Start payments iffy, Meals On Wheels not knowing if they're funded, and stuff like 36% of Wisconsin's budget coming from federal grants - this EO is not going to last very long. Hell, it even woke up Democrats.

It's also loving up all federal student aid and a whole lot of red state universities depend on that money.

CNN.com has a non-weaselly subhead for a change: "The order would halt public programs impacting millions of Americans, including cancer cure research, meals to the elderly and even suicide hotlines"

... Given how much stuff is based on grants to states rather than individual payments this will really suck.

Why do people want to downsize the federal government? When the gently caress does an average person interact with the federal government aside from paying taxes?

They think most of the budget is going to helping foreign brown people or vague "waste" rather than things they like like social security for Grandma, the military and highways ('cause Ronald Reagan and Rush Limbaugh told them so).
