Senate GOP fears drop in Trump enthusiasm, energy
  • Four elections? Are you counting midterms, I guess?

  • Dogs are
  • (that's Violet, not Lucy)

  • Families condemn Koch brothers over ploy to avoid asbestos compensation
  • Why is this article (almost completely) written like there are multiple brothers at this point? One has been dead for 4 and a half years.

  • Project 2025 will cement America as a rightwing authoritarian state
  • One of them has been dead for years

  • ABC News cancels New Hampshire Republican primary debate hours after Haley said she would not debate unless Trump also did
  • I think you underestimate some of those things. People know about the stuff you listed and they still want him.

    But...that's what they said

  • Ukrainian Sources: We Just Shot Down Two Of Russia’s Best Command Planes
  • No, games with ads are for suckers.

  • Margot Robbie Is Taking a Break From Acting After Barbie in Case People Are Sick of Her
  • Who cosplays as Margot Robbie too. It's not just a name (for more context)

  • Biden says US does not support Taiwan’s independence following election
  • Not really a good comparison.

    If American Samoa had been an independent country for the last 75 years, operating pretty much completely independently, had 23 million people, claimed not to be ruled by the US, and other people were saying "we recognize that it has been independent for decades at this point" then it'd be comparable.

    What happens if Taiwan attempts full autonomy or China attempts full control

    Are you implying Taiwan isn't already fully autonomous? Or that China has any control over Taiwan...?

  • X Purges Prominent Journalists, Leftists With No Explanation
  • Lots and lots of people, apparently. And lots of those really really should know better.

    Stop supporting that shithole, people.

  • It sure looks like Donald Trump was disguised as 'Doe 174' in the newly unsealed Jeffrey Epstein documents
  • It's not a "surprise" not did anyone say it was. It justnt clear before WHICH person in the docs Trump was. Now it is.

  • GOP Secretary of State Melts Down When Asked To Explain Bid to Throw Biden Off Ballot
  • I'll watch it somewhere, but it's not going to be at TwitX.

    Edit here: https://youtu.be/pIsVB-H_M_8?feature=shared

    The most relevant part starts around 4:22 but the whole thing is good (well, up until the YouTuber jumps in with his take, which fortunately is after the CNN segment)

  • Exclusive-Unity Software cutting 25% of staff in ‘company reset’ continuation
  • Didn't read the article, or follow the news enough to be able to make a claim on what they should do, huh

  • Researchers Say There’s a 5% Chance That AI Will Cause Human Extinction
  • No?

    I mean, if you stretch those airquotes pretty hard, but not sure why you'd compare those people to this case

  • NYPD faces backlash as it prepares to encrypt radio communications | New York | The Guardian
  • Plausible, but is it likely? Enough to be even remotely worth it...?

  • Last few days are the least functional kbin has been for me since the July exodus. Just me?
  • Thanks Ernest!

    I'm curious, 2hen you say "on-site work", do you mean you need to travel onsite to do some work for kbin? At a host somewhere? Otherwise, when you say "security measures" for travel, how is that related? Maybe you just mean you are travelling and it is taking up your time...?

    Not sure how long it's been there, but it's finally there. Nice QoL improvement.

    Where did Magazine search go?

    There used to be an interface for quickly searching available magazines, subscribing, seeing population counts, etc. Does this not exist anymore, or am I just missing it?

    TIL NASA calculated that you only need 40 digits of Pi to calculate the circumference of the observable universe, to the accuracy of 1 hydrogen atom
    www.jpl.nasa.gov How Many Decimals of Pi Do We Really Need? - Edu News | NASA/JPL Edu

    While world record holders may have memorized more than 70,000 digits of pi, a JPL engineer explains why you really only need a tiny fraction of that for most calculations – even at NASA.
