The full article is well worth reading. It's good to find a lucid, logical deconstruction of why, precisely, this will be a complete disaster.

I see no parody in this.

When the GOP sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are convicted felons.

Thank you! This was exactly what I was looking for.

"Taking over"? This happened a long time ago.

Sounds about right.

I once had a class where, day one, the professor said something like, "If you don't want to buy the book, that's fine with me. I can't tell you where to find a copy, but maybe one of your classmates can." Someone raised their hand and started rattling off a few useful websites.

We know this what the real purpose of this is, it seems like they're going to sell it as a necessary tool for people who are too stupid to use a basic search function? Per The Verge:

"Microsoft’s launching Recall for Copilot Plus PCs, a new Windows 11 tool that keeps track of everything you see and do on your computer and, in return, gives you the ability to search and retrieve anything you’ve done on the device."

Oh, and apparently "Microsoft is promising users that the Recall index remains local and private on-device." Something something Brooklyn Bridge...

I always assumed that they were impossible to win, and that the coins you saw on the ledges were placed there by the employees.
