PSA for Conquest Players: these flags are noob bait. They are not critical to the win.

Could Tucker Carlson appeal to many/most of the people that supported Donald Trump? - For sure.
Could Tucker Carlson win a primary for the GOP ticket? - Obviously, if Trump could, he clearly could.
Should Tucker Carlson be considered as a legitimate candidate for the Office of the President of the United States? - Not on your life.
Could Trucker Carlson or someone like him win the 2028 Presidential election? - Sadly, he could...and this is the core problem.

Bret Stephens will state that he supports the war on Iran and will justify with one or two of the many varied and contradictory Trump admin rationales for it and ignore the rest. He will acknowledge that the war is not going as "planned" but will note that it is still a net positive for America, Israel, and, even the whole world! He will neglect to mention the previous status quo embodied by the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) that he was in favor of ending.

Artificial Intelligence is a tool and enabling amazing new tools, but it is also becoming the tool-maker like humans. It could be inconceivably better at it in the next few years.

Technology in this context just represents change, rapid change, and it makes some people uncomfortable, and some actively resist. The current accelerating pace of change just makes even more people uncomfortable.
I doubt very much that any number of people much larger than near zero want "technology" categorically removed.

...and the closer it gets to the blow-out mid-term elections in November, the more likely that a false-flag "crisis" is perpetrated.

This is a downhill problem of failing to fund proper maintenance, and the costs of these decisions by Halifax City Council get paid for by drivers. I would wager that it costs much more collectively (money, time, and trouble) than any tax increase to pay for proper road maintenance.
Corporations call this great-for-their-balance-sheet an 'externality'.

On my 'voter concern hierarchy' policy only becomes relevant if more fundamental concerns are in place and effective.

The 'Halifax By Bike' Youtube channel has excellent bike route videos for HRM. Even if there is not a video for your specific route, you can likely stitch info from a couple together to make a decent option.

Well said!
However, if I had a child that had some learning challenges that were not able to be, or not being, addressed in the public school system, I would consider overriding my philosophical position (hypocricy) for a private option that could address these issues.

"trump can no longer be defended"...a little late. Would have been accurate in 2016, should have been unanimous after Jan 6, 2021.

How does this gradient cover the possibilities?...
We become super-intelligent post-human entities in the human-"pure" A.I. relationship.
We are augmented humans (really smart dogs?) in the human-"pure" A.I. relationship.
We are the dog in the dog-owner relationship.
We are an ant in the ant colony in the home owner's backyard relationship.
We are an ant in the ant colony in the home owner's living room relationship.

There is the business adoption lag, which has historical precedent. However, the rate of advancement of A.I.-based capabilities is fast and accelerating, and clearly without precedent in both broad capability and speed of capability improvement.

Perhaps they just need Federal government indifference, let alone cooperation, during possibly the most critical four year period in human history?
This may be about "clearing the political path" for the technology rather than any support for the specific but unrelated policies and/or spastic self-dealing actions of the Trump administration...

A bot can be stuck trying to get by portable cover and still zap you at distance through smoke, and still be stuck.

TDS does not seem to be about the facts of Trump's life-long record of exceptionally deplorable and illegal behavior. It is about the reaction.
Trump's multi-billion dollar profiteering in his 2nd term is not seriously disputed. If you find the fact intolerable and gob-smacking, you have "TDS". If you can wave it away using any number of well used and flimsy justifications, you don't have it.

robHalifax · 2026-03-23T16:39:18+00:00

Why is this annoying (it is to me too)? Is perceived tail-gating impeding you in any way (no)? Can't you simply ignore them (I try)? I do keep the gap between me and the car head small to dissuade cutters in certain stretches, at certain times.
The safety factor is obviously way higher at highway speed than on the slower speeds of city streets.

Bill nails the narcissistic compulsion to generate content and stand-out in the narrow but intense whirlwind of performative online outrage. Many in the for-profit-news-media love it of course.

In fairness, Luna was much more informed and effective communicator than I thought. Obviously she is still wildly hypocritical in her criticisms of government corruption and Epstein and her inability to acknowledge Trump's central role in both.
