Alberto Gonzalez on Joy Reid's show WTAF?

I am I the only one that remembers his work as a torture architect?

I don't think he has any business, being on television, telling anyone what is right from wrong.

Why AI will take over your restaurant according to industry trade publication

While 2021 was the year we were introduced to AI voice ordering in the drive-thru lane, 2022 became the year we started seeing the labor-saving technology everywhere. As it turns out, 2023 is likely going to be the year that AI voice technology is improved and perfected.

Listen here (7:05) mins - https://www.nrn.com/first-bite/why-ai-will-take-over-your-restaurant?


I wonder if any of the folks in the fast food industry have given any thought to the fact that a lot of people won't be able to buy their shitty food if they don't have one of their shitty jobs?

FTX's Sam Bankman-Fried Says He Made Secret Donations to Republicans

"reporters freak the fuck out if you donate to a Republican because they’re all super liberal."

Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder of FTX, says he donated equally to both Democratic and Republican politicians before his cryptocurrency platform filed for bankruptcy earlier this month, wiping out billions of dollars in customer deposits. And that fact is going to come as a real shock to right-wing political operatives on Fox News who’ve tried to claim Democrats were the only ones beholden to FTX cash.

Six states urge U.S. Supreme Court to keep block on Biden student debt relief

Nov 23 (Reuters) - Six states on Wednesday asked the U.S. Supreme Court to reject President Joe Biden's bid to reinstate his plan to cancel billions of dollars in student debt that they have argued exceeded his administration's authority.

The states - Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and South Carolina - filed a response to the Biden administration's request for the justices to lift a lower court's injunction halting the program while litigation over its legality continues. Five of the six states are Republican governed while the other, Kansas, has a Republican attorney general.

In their filing, the states said Biden's administration is trying to "assert power far beyond anything Congress could have conceived." The administration has said the Nov. 14 decision to block the plan leaves millions of economically vulnerable borrowers in limbo.

So, this whole mess won't be resolved anytime soon. The Biden administration has extended the "pause" in repayment until at least June of 2023 to forestall the GOP's legal maneuvers.

This means borrowers won't have to get out their checkbooks until at least August of 2023, and perhaps beyond, all thanks to the GOP trying to blindly screw with the Biden administration's policies.

I'll take a payment holiday anyway it comes.

And come 2024 I think many voters will be easily reminded of how helpful not having pay for student was during these trying economic times.

Regardless of how things turn out the GOP are going to be shown as the d*ckheads they are.

Go GOP, go.

U.K. Supreme Court rules that Scotland cannot hold independence referendum

LONDON — The Scottish parliament does not have the power to stage a referendum on independence without consent from the British government, dashing hopes for a second vote next year on whether Scots want to leave the United Kingdom.

The decision was handed down Wednesday by Britain’s Supreme Court, which ruled that the Scottish parliament cannot legislate on the matter.

The court sided with the British government, which argued that on “fundamental matters” — like the fate of the union — the power is held by the British Parliament sitting in the Palace of Westminster in London.

The British government — under prime minsters Boris Johnson, Liz Truss and now Rishi Sunak — has been opposed to a second referendum.

'Garden Coffee Lady' Proves Twitter Can Turn Anything Into Controversy.

"A woman who said she loved her morning routine with her husband was met with incredible backlash. What the hell happened?"

Snip -

"The old maxim “never tweet” was rarely more applicable than when a woman named Daisey Beaton chose to express the joy of sharing coffee and conversation each morning with her husband in their garden. They “sit and talk for hours,” she wrote, concluding, “love him so much.”

A sweet sentiment, or, at the very worst, innocuous. Years ago, we might have called it a “humblebrag.” But the conditions of Twitter are such that the comment would not pass idly. Instead, over the next day, Beaton was barraged with hundreds of negative replies and quote-tweets. Strangers implied that her marriage wouldn’t last, described their own daily struggles, and lashed out at her for discussing this domestic ritual in a public forum. Most assumed, from the minimal context of the tweet, that Beaton and her husband are rich and do not work, injecting the poison of privilege into a darkening discourse."

Snip-

This is why we can't have nice things. Social media by design appeals to the unhappy, and apparently there are lots of unhappy people in the world right now.

Just got sent a link from a friend back home in Ireland....and then the tears started.

MSNBC.

Hallie Jackson.

"turd-in-Andrea Mitchell's-clothing."

Hard hitting, banal, and always on somebody else's ball.

Nice news reader though.

If you like that sort of thing.

Driven, sensational, but only seems to be able to channel the ghost of Tim Russert.

I'm sure the "suits" love her stabilizing influence on their afternoon product.

Fair and balanced.

Full of Sh*t.

Ooooooh.....scary. Hide the silver. Get the womenfolk inside, and wear clean underwear!

//Headline// Federal agents see chargeable tax, gun-purchase case against Hunter Biden //Headline//


Sounds like a typical Saturday morning at a gun show in a red state.


The "GOPee" just can't get enough of those "gotcha" moments.

Republicans tend to create them out of thin air.

Just like the "alternative facts" that they love so much.


You can tell when the next "gotcha" moment is coming when Tucker Carlson gets that, permanent, constipated look on his face.


Christ, if these charges were ever applied evenly, at least half of my family in Montana, would be standing before a judge.


One of my uncles does not actually have enough places in his house to hide his arsenal from, "the jack-booted 'gubmnt' thugs."

This is the very same uncle that shot his own retriever, twice, when he was duck hunting.

Of course, their were no "illegal" drugs involved.
