"No one in Australia will be allowed to glorify or profit from acts and symbols that celebrate the Nazis and their evil ideology," the press release said.

Glad to see someone mention the Profiting part.

I've always suspected a lot of this was due to grifters stoking these A-holes up to increase sales of the flags, shirts, hats, etc.

The Brandon thing was a big boon to the Maga grifters as it created more new things one needs to collect to show your true level of being a Patriot.

You could then change out your Trump flag curtains for the Brandon stuff. Some are brave enough to change them out for the Nazis stuff when the time is right too. It completes the set when combined with the Southern Surrender flags as your curtains or bath towel.

I seen a bit of this interview yesterday. The article doesn't cover it all. As soon as these 2 knuckleheads started spewing airports and it was Biden that said this I was confused as this was something Trump said a few years back. Didn't they know? They ride the media for skewing things and they weren't even aware of how Trump was called out in the same media for this some time back.

Below this fellow breaks down the double standard in more detail than the article does. It covers how Rogan and his Guest said no one should listen to Biden and how he is unfit for office due to this airport thing. Then when the producer points out to Rogan that Biden is referring to what Trump previously said, it wasn't a big deal all of a sudden to Rogan and the guest.

Trump gets a "whoopsie doodle" pass and Trump is still the better choice in his mind I'm sure. Not saying Biden is a gem of a rose but with how hard the right are trying to pin anything on Biden and failing, Trump is still a rotten to the core choice for endless reasons.

Or the Oil industry hiding and then discrediting their own research into climate change?

If only all the other kids were armed too we could have avoided the need for thoughts and prayers - NRA

At times I wonder if medically assisted suicides are frowned upon due to not being able to further drain the money out of patients and their extended credit lines.

Google's customer service has become non-existent and unhuman. I would be leary of trusting their ability to sort out any issues in a fast or logical manner.

I say this as a paying customer of a few of their products. Despite this position with them I've been stiffed on Google Play gift cards in which there has been no human recourse within Google to deal with.

They just keep the money and there is no agency or person to investigate the 1000s of people with legitimate issues of redeeming the cards caught up in their AI flags. It's a nice way for Google to keep all of this money they have collected and never provide services for.

Slowly I've been removing their services from my life as I de-google where possible.

I wonder if they were taking notes from John Deere and the automotive industry or will it be the reverse here soon?

Just imagine all these vehicles that could be bricked for not going back to the stealerships for outrageous prices on parts and incompetent service.

Also the vehicles that could be disabled for not paying for device protection plan that allows your vehicle to operate safely. It would be a shame if your vehicle stopped working on your way to work or the hospital.

I suspect Tesla, BMW, and John Deere are the closest to this reality.

I sure hope the government doesn't help with another great cash for clunkers national program to get rid of more cars too old for these measures. Sure is a great way to drive new car sales though...

I recall some pretty bold statements being made that Apple couldn't stop this reverse engineering from working ever in the early days of tech reporting on this.

Even as a Android user I thought this was pretty bold claims to make as this whole walled garden is a big part of the Apple brand and they will need to protect this as they really don't have leading software inovation and they are no longer ahead on tech advances or specs that made the first couple of iPhones ground breaking.

Since they are a couple to a few years behind the Android features and specs, they need to protect the special brand identity above all else so I expected them to tweak things to break anything they don't want to have happen to their systems.

I can't blame them at all from a business prospective. While I don't like or enjoy their products, they had built a great brand that sells itself for those that "want to be different" but actually the same as all of their friends.

There's a motion being proposed to make Trump give up the $8+ *7.8 million in foreign donations he illegally accepted while in office.

The EU would like to have a talk with manufacturers about this... Much like USB C for iPhones, removable batteries are in the works again thanks to the EU.

It appears to be the majority of Doctors most Americans can afford...

Sure seems like a great way to avoid severance in those places it's required.

Amazing how the companies that "care about employees" don't care so much these days...

Did they find out if it was a drag queen?

It's been said the pain of the bamboozle is too much for most to acknowledge so they continue to double down on it. The great grifters and conmen know this and use it to their advantage.

Many think it's only the stupid and uneducated that are taken in by these scams. At times it's the tribal nature that we can get caught up in.

Often the educated are worse off as they know better and the grave injury to their egos won't allow them to announce to others they have fallen victim as it's pretty embarrassing. They take their lumps and move on with their lives if they do recognize they have fallen into these traps.

It's going to be many years before we get to the other side and then I wonder if it will be like what the Spanish referred to as the Miracle that occurred when Franco died.

After decades in power, the citizens that fought for Franco and supported him ceased to exist. When asked everyone fought against Franco in the civil war and they secretly fought against him at every level of society, government, and the military. It was miracle how he came to power and won a war with no support from anyone at any level within Spain.

If we ever get past the identity association of team Orange it will be interesting who is found to still be supporting this current day madness especially among the religious groups that support a man that displays so many of the things many of the regular members would be chastised for...

I saw a crazy Instagram video where the citizens are upset they are only trying to clean up the river for the Olympics not for the people that live there. They were trying to start a viral campaign to have everyone Sh8t in the river after the clean up is done.

I've not seen this version. I was able to edit it to this with the credit. Thanks.

Reminds me a little of that Top Gear episode of when they were driving through the deep south... Shots will be fired...

Those that purposely destroyed the water systems with cuts in Flint Michigan should have been quartered in a public square.

Sadly in reality they probably received bonuses and perks.

Former President Drink Bleach was a source of many quips or words, good words for those reading along at a 4th grade level...

I'm reminded of this older meme with the car

I think people need to realize this is more prevalent within the conservative religious circles than they realize. Beyond the extremes of the rapture that's been coming any day for decades, they want set their world right once and for all.

When they throw around terms like battleready there's a outcome where they get to kick in the heads of those they don't like and don't want to exist without due process.

They are going to end all that is wrong around them with brute force and finally do what those corrupt politicians, justices, police, and government workers won't do.

They want to bypass anything that complicates their mob punishment. Trump keeps feeding these types as it's useful for him to have them rattled and ready to go. The group think will not allow those stung by him to speak their truths against him. It's not allowed.

He is the messiah chosen by God. You know the thrice married, adulterer with porn stars while the wives were pregnant role model the religious right have been looking for all this time.

Thank God they found him to help God save the day. God the almighty and all powerful needs a orange colored grifter loser to help God out on the mission.

I'm glad to finally see this. I was dispointed in the past when the Dems almost controlled everything and still couldn't get anything done.

Contrast that to a little control by the GOP and they could cause all kinds of chaos and get their agendas moving.

Funny they didn't mention the 1000 people they laid off across the various Assistant divisions being a part of the reason for the changes : https://www.theverge.com/2024/1/11/24034124/google-layoffs-engineering-assistant-hardware

They sure seemed like it. They were caught quoting Hitler in one of their "liberty" newsletters and then couldn't believe anyone had an issue with it. If you are quoting the leader of the Nazi party you might be Nazis...

To Eisenhower's credit he knew the future might hold this possibility, so he made local Germans from around the concentration camps come help clean up and to see the bodies and destruction the Germans have caused to the Jews, Gypsies, Gays, and all other "undesirables" of Europe the Germans killed.

Eisenhower never wanted them to say it didn't happen. He wanted those smells, sights, the what was left of the survivors burned into their memories. Unfortunately these live Witnesses have faded away with time. There are not many first hand witnesses/survivors left.

The dead can no longer speak. The new generations can say whatever they want now and ignore everything that has come before. Their new reality isn't correct or factual but it is their's share and in the new world it's easy to find many that want to think incorrectly with you.

Other attendees on Tuesday will include President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris... ....former first ladies Laura Bush, Michelle Obama and Melania Trump...

Odd to see this name show up. At least her husband won't be there to try to make it about himself.

One has to wonder about the medical issues he was experiencing in the past couple of years were.

I'm pretty sure addiction doesn't make one healthier or younger so you wonder what type of damage has incurred over the years of his struggles. Perhaps he had heart issues or something else that will surface in the hours and says ahead.

Still sad to hear he's passed. Money can make some things easier in life without a doubt but it can't fix everything it seems.

I've been becoming irritated lately with search in other apps being taken over by their flavor of AI. I use the Microsoft Swift keyboard on my phone and it's now trying to inject their AI search results over my Google searches in Firefox and the results take me to Bing.

Then today I was watching a video on Instagram and the screen went off. I lost of the video as the app refreshed when I turned on the screen again. I tried to search for it but now IG search has been turned into a Meta AI search. It offers AI answers instead of the videos I was looking and it seems like it's the only option.

WTF are they messing up search across the platforms? Get off my lawn!

It will be interesting what this form of yellow journalism will look like in a few short years...

A great example of how his followers just want to blow up and maim anything and everything that gets in their way..

I believe within the GOP these types were once labeled as traitors and were blacklisted. That's when things were great no?

Not sure lately is the right term here.

Continually might be better: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_BMG_copy_protection_rootkit_scandal

I guess this means the 2nd amendment crowd finally gets their opportunity to use their stockpiled guns against the government in a case like this? /s

There are people out there that don't know where the settings on their phone are

This photo gave me the heebee geebees... I'm left asking why and do I have claustrophobia now as a result?

I wonder how few will draw some of the parallels of the colonial expansion in Australia and the West in general.

I love the types that say others should go back to where they come from ignoring their parents and grandparents were not that far removed from the boat that brought them here.

Then they don't want to acknowledge that these groups were probably not that thrilled at being slaughtered and their kids taken away from them to make way for their colonial ancestors.

It's a amazing trait to me that humans can hold such diabolically opposed ideas as the same truths for them.

Textbook example of stoking hatred of minority groups makes it easier for the class based poison pills to go down.
