Didn't realize he was estranged with his family. Not surprised to hear that tho because yeah a lot of these guys psychos/sociopaths

Actually I doubt even the rich would take a shot at him. It'd make him a martyr.

If someone did take a shot, it'd probably be a fame seeker or someone with personal connections to the CEO.

The fact that we are entering a time when a coup in the USA is a legitimate threat is so utterly terrifying.

From at least Reagan to now diehard conservatives have laid the foundation for all of this over the course of decades and Mitch McConnell and many of the other conservatives now in dismay at this shift absolutely played a crucial role in making it all possible.

I've always wondered what people in Germany felt in the 1930s. Well, now I know. I'm not saying Trump/Republicans are literal nazis and authoritarianism is inevitable but the utter chaos unfolding is reminiscent.

Top "generals," plural I believe.

edit 1: just remembered different services use different ranks, the other confirmed fire was an admiral.

edit 2: Another general was indeed fired: Gen. James Slife

And they're likely getting replaced with diehard loyalists. The Joint Chiefs is already going to a MAGA if I heard correctly.

Quoting Lenin: "There are decades where nothing happens and there are weeks where decades happen."

And it's starting to feel like there are days when centuries happen.

If Trump genuinely, fully wants to drive the United States into authoritarianism, forcefully installing diehard loyalists in the military is one of the most crucial early steps.

I rarely lean into conspiracy theories and we're living in insanely complex times but this move has me genuinely worried. Hopefully, my fears turn out to be a figment of imagination.

I'm sure that several prominent politicians have been putting together teams to run campaigns but the GOP candidates probably mostly wanted to avoid any official announcements or major actions until Mitch made it official. Now the gate is open and the race is on.

The Switch OLED is already a bit big to travel with for me but I make do and I'd prefer it to be smaller in hand. I had the lite and much preferred its form factor. OLED does have a much, much better screen. Different strokes for different folks. The Deck doesn't meet my use case, nad that's fine.

I missed "Go" and thought they meant Game Freak and I was quite shocked lol

Steam Deck seems pretty amazing. Unfortunately, in my case, it's too big to travel with and I doubt my small hands will find much comfort.

Really hope they come out with a Steam Deck Lite. I know you can buy smaller handheld PCs but last I checked they were quite pricey (tbf I haven't checked recently)
