Okay so maybe my outlook was a little dour. It sounds like Dems had a pretty good night, versus what could have happened.

In my defense, I don't know how to enjoy good news anymore. Like, I was happy when Doofus lost, but that only lasted like a month until nazis ruined it with an attempted putsch. So now it's like, my brain almost wants to treat happy developments as a warning of impending terrible ones.

TLDR: you get what you pay for.

Well, your state voted to keep slavery legal, so it's okay to feel down after the election.

Though, a light look without going too deep into it, it appears it got watered down, and, while it would ban slavery and involuntary servitude, it would allow forced labor.

Jeff Bezos did it again, he is writing history by doing stuff nobody before him did before: Amazon lost 1 trillion (yes, no error) dollar on market capitalization!
Close behind is Microsoft.

The fast-food chain was widely reviled after distributing the message through its German-language app on the 84th anniversary of mass antisemitic riots led by the Nazis across Germany and Austria, in which hundreds of synagogues were destroyed and more than 7,000 Jewish-owned shops were razed or looted.

Under the subject line “Memorial day for the Reich pogrom night”, KFC Germany wrote: “Go ahead and treat yourself to more soft cheese on your crispy chicken. Now available at KFCheese.”

Less than an hour later someone at the company appears to have noticed that this was in questionable taste and issued a second notification that said: “Through an error in our system we sent out an incorrect and inappropriate message through our app. We’re very sorry. We will immediately check our internal processes to ensure that this doesn’t happen again.”

Wow.

So, um, is KFC chicken actually kosher?

I doubt that chicken with cheese is.

 

[Dakota Tebaldi]

Yeah I kind of don't understand how that happened. It seems like a decision that was probably made outside of Germany, but KFC almost certainly has a corporate office inside Germany that ought to have caught it. I realize that [random national holiday X]-promotions are a thing, but come on, use some sense.

Or it was a bit of code that took significant dates from a calendar and plugged them in to a template to automate social media posts.

It's not even called Kristallnacht anymore, if I remember right - didn't they start calling it "the November Pogroms" to make it less evocative?

This smells of legacy code from 30 years ago.

 

[Bartholomew Gallacher]

Kristallnacht is the term the original Nazis used, now it is being called Reichspogromnacht officially.

So I guess when our AI overlords finally show up, they'll spend a lot of time apologizing afterwards for their cringe-worthy announcements.

Former Congressman Devin Nunes has a habit of suing anybody who annoys him or brings unwanted attention to him. This included a certain satirical cow who ended up gaining more attention had Nunes just ignored the person. Another person he sued was Ryan Lizza who reported that the Nunes family hired undocumented workers on their farm at the same time that Nunes was publicly decrying the influx of undocumented people across the border. Unfortunately for Nunes, it turns out that when you take someone to court they can ask the court to let you dig into whether or not any statements made were truthful because, as it turns out, the truth is a good defense against defamation charges.

Truth is an absolute defense to defamation, buddy.
