Good news Canada! This lady is no longer our Ambassador to you!

Bad news everyone! This lady is now nominated to be the Ambassador to the UN

2:07 AM

Laura Loomer and Jacob Wohl are together for some reason and claim they're riding around Minneapolis in armoured cars because Rep. Omar might put out a hit on them, or...something, which is not news itself and is just dumb but has a high likelihood of turning into something unbelievably pointless we'll all have to contend with sometime in the next few weeks

Just an absolute hell in which we live

2:25 AM

@TimStone a lady after trump's heart

@TimStone oh dammit

@TimStone like dating or just doing the biggest crossover event in history?

I just ate so I don't really want to find out if it's more, but they're just locationally adjacent

Presumably on a mission to do something dumb

not to mention that if someone is going to put an assassination contract out on conservative media personalities, they're going after laura loomer and jacob wohl first? really? not the countless more powerful or influential people like diamond and silk?

lmao, have a pretend star

R. Kelly has turned himself over to CPD

"Two participants in the rally told the outlet that they'd responded to a Craigslist ad promising to pay $30/hour if they held signs decrying Amazon's departure outside the company's retail location on 34th Street." http://gothamist.com/2019/02/22/pro-amazon_protesters_reportedly_pa.php

@TimStone lol, did you see the job creators pac or whatever the fuck billboard

Yeah

As if Amazon wasn't going to try to import 25k dudes like me who don't currently live in queens

"We have billboard money and we're mad!"

They sent me a LinkedIn message about hey come work at our seattle location

No actually I heard your corporate culture sucks ass too

Like people work on the toilet sucks ass

My LinkedIn profile is closed currently by the way, the only way to get there is through a direct link on my dev story

3:03 AM

I just have entirely refused to have one

I also resisted Facebook for a long time which in retrospect should have stuck with it

Tucker Carlson, who regularly claims the Russia probe is a hoax and conspiracy theory, pushes a conspiracy theory with his guest that Roger Goodell is behind Robert Kraft's arrest in a prostitution sting. https://t.co/SOUwgWvSR3

Imagine Roger Goodell being anywhere close to that competent

I just reopened my dev story to open but not looking and tbh,

I still need to look into the latest message but it sounds bad probably

The only winning move is to work for me, alas

I got a message asking for lots of java experience

Like buddy did you even read or

@TimStone That quote isn't in the article, weirdly

5:15 PM

@Ash Yeah, I'm not sure what's up there? It seems to have originally be part of an answer in a Vox interview?

But it has also been removed from that page too

user15026

That's weird :/

Also, I don't think it's even true.

user15026

I was hoping for a citation for it because, well, it felt kinda like it would be impossible

Bitcoin currently consumed about 50 TWh of electricity per year

Based on digiconomist.net/bitcoin-energy-consumption

or about .12% of the global power consumption

Note that the global banking infrastructure consumes about double that annually

NOW: Mueller's office has filed its redacted sentencing memo for Paul Manafort in his DC case. They're not taking a position on how much prison time he should get, or whether it should stack on top of whatever he gets in his Virginia case https://www.scribd.com/document/400335128/2-23-19-US-Sentencing-Memo-Manafort-DC

Robert Lighthizer had to explain a memo of understanding to Trump in front of Chinese Vice Premier Liu He. Trump: "They don't mean anything." RL: "It's a legal term. It's a contract." Trump: "By the way I disagree." The Vice Premier laughed out loud. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-02-22/trump-s-trade-chief-lectures-his-boss-and-gets-earful-in-return

@TimStone tl;dr "We don't take a specific recommendation on sentencing but there's definitely no factors to consider for leniency, he did more crimes while under indictment ffs!"

@GodEmperorDune Sorry, if it's any consolation, it was meant as a joke, not as a creepy thing
