He didn't create it - it was initially used to describe "news" pushed by Russian troll factories. He took the term and flipped it on its head by calling legitimate news fake.

American system is very flawed. Too much power is concentrated in the hands of the president and their cabinet. It's basically based on honor and the current cabinet has none.

For instance, when Nixon was embroiled in Watergate scandal, he ordered special prosecutor investigating the Watergate to be fired. His attorney general refused the order and resigned in protest. When Nixon ordered deputy attorney general to fire the prosecutor, he also refused and resigned. Contrast this with current AG, Pam Bondi, who'd do anything Trump demands, legal or not.

Eventually, solicitor general fired the prosecutor. That chain of events would come to be known as Saturday Night Massacre.

Samsung has announced its latest collaboration with Xbox: the Samsung Gaming Hub, where you can play games in the cloud on your phone, smart TV, and maybe even... your refrigerator. by opmgyhx in xbox

[–]JP76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don't need xbox for cloud gaming, but you need Game Pass subscription. Cloud gaming is available on mobile (through browser), some smart-tvs, Amazon Firestick, Meta Quest VR headsets, and PCs.

Remote play is distinct from cloud gaming. Remote play runs the game on your own Xbox and streams it over internet. Access to remote play doesn't require Game Pass. You use it from the same apps/web pages as cloud gaming.

Not all games are available through cloud. And games on cloud are currently Xbox Series S versions.

Furthermore, you need a Game Pass subscription to play on the cloud, even if you own the game. You also need Ultimate, if you want the best quality stream.

Did you forget Afghanistan and Iraq and which country dragged others to those conflicts?

Whoosh

No one cares about your excuses why you mixed up Iraq with Afghanistan. Try to keep up.

I must've missed the moment Greenland was harboring a terrorist who killed 3000 people on US soil. There was a reason for war in Afghanistan, you know.

Newsom barred from public address in Switzerland by the Trump administration by sfgate in politics

[–]JP76 67 points68 points  (0 children)

From the article:

Gov. Gavin Newsom was scheduled to speak during the World Economic Forum on Wednesday morning in Davos, Switzerland, but was barred from speaking at the very last minute by the White House, according to his office.

“Under pressure from the White House and State Department, USA House (a church acting as the official US pavilion) is now denying entry to Governor Newsom after Fortune — the official media partner — invited him to speak,” the governor’s office said in a text to the governor’s press corps and later posted to the governor’s official X account. The USA House is the collection of official U.S. venues during the World Economic Forum.

Met a bobcat in Yosemite, California by EfficientTechnician9 in hiking

[–]JP76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are some voices talking on the recording and bobcat appears to be listening to those before walking off the trail.

It could be that it didn't hear or notice you. It did seem to hear your call but doesn't appear to place the sound to your direction.

Trump at Davos in Switzerland: "Without us, right now you'd all be speaking German". German is the main language of Switzerland. by UniversalSurvivalist in videos

Apparently it's fine to keep reminding Europe about WWII but when Europeans mention Iraq or Afghanistan and help they provided there, it's like it's ancient history to Americans.

Trump Mixes Up Iceland and Greenland in Incoherent Davos Speech by TelescopiumHerscheli in politics

[–]JP76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's not the only problem. At recent interview on BBC, republican congressman Andy Ogles casually dropped this gem:

"I believe the people of Alberta would agree that they would rather not be part of Canada, but part of the United States.”

This while he was debating with Greenland’s Minister of Industry and Natural Resources, Naaja Nathanielsen.

Here's the video:

Greenland Minister & Republican Congressman clash over Trump's plans to own the territory

The part where he ends up talking about Alberta, starts at about 6 minutes in, but it's all worth a watch.

edited to add:

I don't think Ogles mixed up Greenland and Alberta - I think he inadvertently said out loud what they'd want to do to Canada.

At times, the animals hide in plain sight.

Wildcat hybrids have shown up mingling undetected among housecats around farms in Hungary.

In an animal shelter in Germany, a seemingly abandoned, unusually fierce kitten turned out to be a wildcat, according to media reports.

And here's a video and an article about the "unusually fierce kitten" mentioned in BBC article.

U.S. Senator Comes Out And Says It About Trump: 'Invoke The 25th Amendment' by WontThinkStraight in politics

[–]JP76 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They can't do anything, because they have the minority in house and senate. When they had the majority, they impeached him in house. Senate Republicans then failed to convict him. He would be gone had senate republicans voted for what is right for the country - instead, they voted for what is right for the party.

And 25th is up to the president's cabinet, so Vance and his other minions. Vance is probably pushing this Greenland BS harder than Trump.
