Absurd. There is no "censorship" here. It's a garden variety carriage dispute over money. Sad to see some conservatives use Big Government thuggery to interfere with free markets and engage in communications collectivism / media Marxism like the old hard Left. 👎

To everyone claiming that Biden needed impeached for this etc… there is a reason for the military decisions. Maybe try appreciating our abilities vs using as an opportunity to crap on your own country (cc
@RepMTG
and many others). I wanted it destroyed but this is best case

Notable: US officials say they were able to block the balloon from gathering intel during its overflight of the US, while the US military was able to turn the tables, so to speak, to gather intel on the balloon itself and its equipment.

"Dramatic"? Try "laughable" or "embarrassing." And media accuse internet companies of engaging in cheap tricks to garner attention.

As we search the skies for #spyballoons, it’s time to remember the villagers of Gonesse, who in 1783 shot down a “monster” they saw floating above them & attacked it w/ pitchforks. Here’s the commemorative French textile that pictures the scene, preserved by @cooperhewitt.#18c
In red and white, villagers surrounding a crashed & deflating balloon. A man with a tricornered hat is taking aim at it with a rifle; a man with a pitchfork , with his back to us, seems to have put a tear into the balloon’s fabric. A huddle of three men , two bare-headed, stands behind the balloon; another man with a kind of toque on his head stands to the right.

8/ The MAGA virus is endemic. The old DC rules of lobbying and influence do not apply. The "normal" ones play-act during election season in their close districts and then get back in bed with the election-denier, QAnon, batcrap crazies who make up most of the GOP.

5/ ...the GOP caucus doesn't care. The chaos is the goal. The damage to the economy - bye, pensions! - is political opportunity for them. McCarthy knows that his Speakership hangs in the balance. If the acts like an adult -- as his donors, and his boss Jeff Miller want...

No. They are better than many humans on a few tasks. But they make very stupid mistakes of common-sense that a 4 year-old, a chimp, a dog, or a cat would never make. LLMs have a more superficial understanding of the world than a house cat.

I’m seeing a lot of DEI positions open. It would help if places listed in the postings whether they want a white woman who won’t make them feel too guilty or a Black woman they can use for publicity.

Since no one in the GOP seems to know anything about altitude, here's a handy chart for you. I've gone ahead and cropped out everything but the bottom two layers. Wouldn't want you to get overwhelmed by things like key terms...
