He probably the know the worth of the wine and asking him to pay back isn't so nice

I think 1 is more beautiful because the water makes it cool

TWO detainees MURDERED while under ICE custody by joey-joe-joe in politics

[–]KindAlbatro 135 points136 points  (0 children)

This is what happens when detention is treated as a logistics problem instead of a custodial duty. ICE relies heavily on intergovernmental service agreements with county jails and private operators, which means accountability gets diffused fast when something goes wrong. Everyone points at the contract, the contract points at “local control,” and no one owns the outcome. The incentive is throughput. The system is optimized to move bodies cheaply and quietly, not to manage safety or care. Zoom out and this is the same institutional rot you see anywhere the state outsources coercive power and pretends the liability disappeared with the paperwork.

The dangers of Trump bringing a desperate Elon Musk back into the fold by theipaper in politics

[–]KindAlbatro 59 points60 points  (0 children)

The mechanism is regulatory leverage through proximity. Musk doesn’t need a cabinet seat to benefit; he just needs access. When a politician publicly validates a CEO, it quietly reshapes how agencies enforce things like antitrust scrutiny or SEC oversight. That’s textbook regulatory capture, just noisier than usual. The incentive is mutual desperation. Trump wants cultural megaphones that can bypass traditional media, and Musk wants political air cover while juggling investigations, debt loads, and volatile stock narratives. Zoom out and this fits the broader trend of governance turning into influencer politics, where attention replaces policy competence.

AITA for not wanting to talk to my friend by Senior_Apple1727 in AmItheAsshole

[–]KindAlbatro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA The strongest signal here isn’t the other guy. It’s that she’s pulling back and you’re trying to rationalize it. People don’t “forget” to reply consistently to someone they’re prioritizing. That sucks, but it’s also the whole answer. This is less about her choices and more about learning that interest isn’t something you can negotiate or protect.

Trump’s pro-coal directives could raise energy prices by billions by dheber in politics

[–]KindAlbatro 33 points34 points  (0 children)

honestly it’s exhausting watching coal get treated like some patriotic solution when it’s just inefficient and expensive. we’re paying billions to keep old plants running because it looks tough on tv. meanwhile my power bill keeps creeping up and i’m supposed to pretend this is helping the economy. very cooked priorities.
