McConnell already blocked Trump’s ally from becoming the senate majority leader. The new leader is someone who criticized Trump for Jan 6, among other things.

Seems realistic. Thanks for the details.

Curious how you calculated that? What system load is it based on? Idle? Max?

McConnell already blocked Trump’s ally from becoming the leader of the house. They voted yesterday, and the next senate majority leader is John Thune, who has criticized Trump for Jan 6 and for claiming the 2020 election was stolen. He was also against Trump’s tarrifs 6 years ago. Thankfully the senate doesn’t seem to be ending up under Trump’s control, and the checks and balances in our government might actually be working.

Or (and I realize I’m playing devil’s advocate here, but…) maybe she was being sarcastic about all of them? The fact that she referenced the outcome of the 2020 election (the number of votes Biden actually got) along with “the earth is flat” and “birds aren’t real” makes me think she doesn’t believe any of them and this is just bait.

Meadows is just one of many former employees to have sued Ye over the last few years. Many of them worked for the short-lived Donda Academy, including three former teachers suing Ye and the school for discrimination, saying they were fired for raising concerns about “sanitation, health, safety [and] education standards.” Their complaint gave a behind-the-curtain look at the $15,000-a-year private school: students ate sushi for lunch every day; tables, chairs, crossword puzzles and coloring books were all strictly forbidden; students and teachers had to wear all-black Balenciaga uniforms designed by Ye; and the second floor of the school was off limits because, according to the plaintiffs, Ye “was reportedly afraid of stairs.”

What timeline is this, Idiocracy crossed with Zoolander?

OP: asks for advice about IRC

just_another_person: only stupid and lazy people use IRC

…

just_another_person: why doesn’t anyone appreciate how helpful I am?

Wasn’t it founded by the original founder of Twitter, not ex-employees? Not that it makes much difference…

A big part of Project 2025 is eliminating checks and balances, and consolidating power into the Whitehouse. That means taking power away from the house and senate, and from McConnell.

Quoting my previous comment:

Why move an entire community to matrix if IRC works fine?

In other words, why “fix” it (and risk fragmenting the community) if it ain’t broke?

If you still don’t understand why people use IRC then we clearly didn’t make the same point, and you misunderstood mine.

People still use it for the same reason we use email… Why move an entire community to matrix if IRC works fine? Anyone who wants to use matrix can set up a bridge, anyway. And I wouldn’t consider discord a good alternative.

If you’re sceptical about exit polls you could always look up how they’re conducted…

No, your tone came across, I just started worrying about my own tone. And I think we all need to chill out. Stop looking at what’s happened in the past 10-20 years and start appreciating the progress we’ve made in the last 100, and thinking about how we’ll make the next step.

Sorry, not trying to antagonize you. This sucks. Thanks for not lashing out at me.

53% of white women voted for Trump, and they aren’t going to join 4B. “Men” didn’t elect Trump, a slight majority of America did. When you point a finger, three are pointing back…

I think the distinction is important to some people.

45% of women voters were for Trump. More young women voted for Trump in 2024 than in 2020. I don’t think this movement is going to affect Republicans at all.

The difference is that one is identity and the other is a choice.
