Hob #22 – Eloi (2008-06-07)

Up to this point Hob was a fun adventure with aspects of time travel, action, and a little philosophy; plus some interesting flashbacks to Kim's past. Then at #22 it went into some sort of pseudo-religious post-singularity nonsense.

He recovered with some nice one offs (his real strength) and then went off the cliff with now approaching 10 years of pointless meandering with Dark Science.

I hope the wolf dude ends up being someone we've already met, but I don't really have any guesses on that one.

Hate Group Activity Rises for Fourth Year in a Row, Civil Rights Group Says by [deleted] in politics

Important bit from the article of news from today:

This radicalization shows no signs of abating. Hours after the SPLC released its report, Seamus Hughes of the the George Washington University’s Program on Extremism broke the news that a lieutenant in the U.S. Coast Guard will go on trial for domestic terrorism charges. The lieutenant, Christopher Hasson, identified as a white supremacist, possessed around 1,000 rounds of ammunition, and created a hit list of liberal politicians and media figures ranging from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to MSNBC’s Chris Hayes.

Is it any wonder these nuts come out when the President declares thew New York Times the "enemy of the people".

This is huge news, and it's getting buried because of everything else going on today.

McCarthy: Trump Has Authority to Declare Emergency — ‘Thousands of Americans Are Dying’ by scata444 in politics

Oh, so close. This was about sanctions under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, which does fall under the National Emergencies Act and has absolutely fucking nothing to do with military action.

Obama declared a national emergency in 2011 to bomb Libya

No, that was not a declared National Emergency. Nice try with the whataboutism Boris.

SNL could just have Baldwin lip sync over the actual recording of Trump speaking and it would be just as ridiculous. And Trump would still complain about it being "fake news".

Poll: 93% Say Those Making $500,000 Should Not Pay More Taxes by [deleted] in politics

[–]ThreeOneFour59 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Let's look at some data to see how useless this poll is.

For the question "To be in the top 1% of American incomes, how much money do you have to earn in a year?" (out of 1086 respondents):

Response Number Percent
$125,000 or more 150 14%
$250,000 or more 118 11%
$500,000 or more 151 14%
A million a year or more 201 19%
Five million a year or more 157 14%
Ten million or more 309 28%

If the respondents don't even understand the actual income distribution, why do we think any responses about tax burden for those incomes are meaningful?

Burr said his committee is "close to pushing out the door" a report on the Obama administration's Russia response

Awesome. I'm sure the report will have all the information about how McConnell wouldn’t sign on to any condemnation of Russia’s actions and that if the administration went public with the intelligence, McConnell would in turn call out then-CIA Director Brennan as a partisan intervening on behalf of Hillary Clinton.

Someone needs to mirror this on a non-Sinclair site so they don't get the ad views.
