That’s a hell of an act. What do you call it?

If Harvard wants to regain its ability to enroll international students for the fall semester, the letter stated, the school must provide in the next 72 hours all records and audio and video files that involve dangerous, threatening or illegal activity by an international student enrolled within the past five years.

This is like an inverse mafia roll-up. Instead of getting low-level criminals who can be arrested easier to rat-out higher level criminals, the criminals are using higher-level victims to try to rat-out the lower level victims that they can shake down easier. I guess this just what happens when bullies and criminals get organized.

Yeah, a sarcastic GIF but you are technically correct (the best kind).

The only states it’s lower than are:

• New York

The term in the industry is “gross-up.”

9point6.

Well, that part isn’t new - call centers with low or no benefits have been a thing for decades.

AI just gave the guy (and others, I’m sure a wave is coming) a convenient excuse to renegotiate the basic employment social contract - to switch employees to “gig” workers without having to pay for pesky things like health insurance and retirement.

“I’m not illegal, you’re illegal!”

Still thinking like an 8-year-old.

I wouldn’t be shocked if it were true, but this article looks completely made up.

The FBI agent isn’t named. Despite claiming there are “legal filings” no court is named. There are no links or citing sources. There are no specific allegations including dates, specific actions taken by Russia intelligence or by Musk/Thiel in response.

It looks honestly like the article itself is part of typical Russian misinformation meant to pull the left further away from the right, and reduce credibility and factual signal by adding tempting noise.

I’m fairly convinced they only believe in themselves, as a psychological axiom. Moral good is that which makes them richer, happier, or more powerful.

That’s all there is at the base of our entire system of government at the moment.

Is this a thing? This seems like a very high learning curve.

The entire reason why there is a thriving global market for manga is that these off-books sites have existed for decades, and have raised a generation that treats manga as core culture. So they’re strangling their continued relevance in a blind enforcement frenzy.

The other big problem of publishers acting this way is that if we start buying more manga after this, the message publishers get is that this works, and to do it again and again. They’ve created an incentive for manga fans to therefore not buy more manga for now. Which is exactly the opposite incentive publishers wish for.

“We were waiting until it was important.”

Oh, disagreeing with the post, huh? Looks like we found the AI troll, get 'em everyone!

For David Zaslov, about $200 million.

I’m getting mixed messages here.

My father loved this meme. My favorite memory is of reading this meme with him sitting on the couch with the family puppy. He died tragically ten years ago, hit by a runaway dildo delivery truck while taking our puppy to the vet to have puppy aids treatment. I cry every time I see this meme.

Simple answer? Tax cuts for the rich are going to have to be paid for by creating more public debt.

Well, just for others who might do the same:

I thought it would be an interesting read, so I searched and it looks like this was never a real article: https://knowyourmeme.com/news/no-christian-bale-did-not-roast-sigma-bale-idolizers

What’s the L / C/ R meter meant to represent exactly?
