If I’m understanding correctly there’s two books being removed. And the Smithsonian is saying the loan agreement with the owner of the books, Rev. Brown, expires in May. So they’re returning them to him to rotate in new exhibits per regular operating procedure. If that’s true I don’t really understand the issue here. Rev. Brown seems to be under the impression that they’re removing the items because of Trump’s order. But he, at least in this article, doesn’t even address the Smithsonian’s explanation so I don’t really know what’s going on here. But it really doesn’t seem like this is because of Trump’s policy. If it was why would they just be removing these two books and nothing else?

Yeah. I didn’t fully read the article lol. Thats on me.

Didn’t the commercial use unlicensed music too? I feel like I remember there being a lawsuit for unpaid royalties or something.

Edit: Yup!

Edit 2: I’m an idiot who didn’t fully read what I posted.

Is that a threat?

This might help. If they could read.

Then Elon is going to tweet out some nonsense misrepresenting the report just like he did with their report they put out last September showing mishandled government spending to the tune of 2.3 trillion dollars between 2003 and 2023. (He first lied and said doge found the mishandled payments when they didn’t. And also said the full 2.3 trillion were Medicaid payments to individuals outside the US. Which was just a blatant fabrication)

Says they dislike trump more than Democrats do then proceeds to explain why they don’t dislike trump more than Democrats do.

That checks out.

This is only “baffling” if you’re a total fucking moron who hasn’t been paying attention.

If people these days don’t know what rollercoaster tycoon is I’m going to start feeling way more old than I already do.

Until I can run special K or RTX HDR to inject HDR into games that don’t support it I’m not going to switch to Linux on my main gaming PC. Its hooked up to my Nice OLED TV in my living room and games look too damn good with HDR to give that up for Linux. Yes I know HDR works on Linux now. But it only works with games that support HDR and the only “Auto HDR” solution I’ve found is a janky reshade plugin that only works with dx11 games and doesn’t really produce very good results. I’m really holding out hope that valve figures out a nice auto HDR solution they can build into gamescope.

Your political beliefs are not a protected group. Y’all can go fuck yourselves.

I don’t know what you’re talking about. These grapes are delicious!

Don’t you like revoke your other allegiances when you choose to align yourself with the madness finger thing? Or am I misremembering that?

Totally going to be a rebranded MSI Claw mark my words.

Eh I see the point you’re making but cartels in Mexico are a whole other breed to what’s here in the US. Our politicians aren’t being murdered in droves by cartels like they are in Mexico.

Jesus, I didn’t even know about that. Fuck that guy.

Also thanks for the banger.

I can actually pinpoint the exact moment I became disillusioned with Elon Musk. It was back in like 2014 or 2015. I also thought he was a genius until I saw him talk about whether or not we live in a simulation. He said something to the affect of “if we are to assume that it’s possible for technology to progress to the point of simulating universes indistinguishable from our own then the possibility of us living in a prime universe is one in billions.” A bunch of people at the time ate that shit up but I immediately recognized that he pulled that shit out of his ass given that the whole thing is predicated on a giant assumption that by all accounts isn’t even likely like at all and that there is absolutely no basis whatsoever for the ‘billions’ figure. Ever since then it’s been blatantly obvious to me that he mostly doesn’t know what he’s talking about 90% of the time. And when he does know what he’s talking about he’s willfully deceitful in order to try to manipulate everyone.

Sounds like you’re under the impression that SBF has been pardoned.

He hasn’t.

At least not at this point anyway. He’s still very much in jail.

I laughed way harder at seeing the square root of 5 equals 5 than I did relating to the joke. Even my humor has ADHD.
