222·2 months agoThat’s a hell of a thing to say to a person who has literally been stabbed.
You must work in communications for Trump’s White House.

politics @lemmy.world•Republican lawmakers are leaving office out of fear of the party’s base, report claims: ‘I’d rather my house not get firebombed’English
51·3 months agoThere is a big difference between fearing you’ll lose your job vs. fearing you’ll lose your house with children possibly inside.
Regardless, these GOP members are fearing violence from the far right side of their party.

Technology@lemmy.world•BoM asked to explain ‘what happened here’ after cost of website redesign revealed to be $96.5mEnglish
5·4 months agoI mean, yes, that is bad… but the biennium budget for 2011-2013 was around $60 Billion, which means this project represented about half a percent of the overall budget. The current budget deficit is around $60 Million, but the kicker from 2024 was a record $5.6B in unexpected surplus.
The Oracle debacle is a good representation of why government contracting can be a mess, but I don’t think that project caused such a big long-term financial problem. Putting a toll on the I-5 bridge into/from WA is a massive issue, I agree with you there.

23·4 months agoI was at a military industry conference a month or so ago, with several flag level officers giving talks. The total amount of lost years of experience and senior leadership in the military and intelligence agencies is staggering. It is going to take generations to recover.

1·4 months agoThe same Congress that let Trump unilaterally levy a tax on every American business and citizen?
They could be manufacturing prototypes or examples for apprentices. It’s also replicas were made for trade to demonstrate the shape to others, or tokens of appreciation, or adapted into toys / primitive dice. <shrug>

politics @lemmy.world•Donald Trump calls on Republicans to vote to release Epstein filesEnglish
13·4 months agoTo play the devil’s advocate, it’s certainly possible Trump publicly supports the House voting to release the original documents because he either 1) has ironclad assurance that it’ll die in the Senate, or 2) will just pocket veto the bill. There was substantial political downside to them opposing their release, and many many ways for them to kill this whole thing in the future.
Trump doesn’t want the files released, but their Legislative Affairs and Communications Director finally woke up to a strategy that wasn’t political suicide.

Get 'em while that last:
“In a major industry shift announced in early 2026, Sony is entering a strategic partnership where TCL will take a 51% stake in its home entertainment division, including Bravia TVs, with a new joint venture expected to be fully operational by April 2027”
It’s the end of an era for the Sony Bravia.
