Even if the show is a stinker from a technical standpoint it can still be fun. Years and years ago I went to Ozzfest and it just so happened there was a massive storm on the weekend of the show. The show still went on, but while I was in the middle of watching Rob Zombie jam out on one stage the power dropped because of the weather. Nonplussed Rob Zombie started yelling to his roadies and one of them brought him a megaphone. He apologized to the audience and then spent the next hour until the power came on sitting on the edge of the stage and telling stories about his life on the road, talking about crazy things he had seen or done, and asking questions of the audience. It was genuinely the most fun I have ever had at a concert and the musician I was watching wasn't even able to play. Charisma, showmanship, and the ability to engage with the audience are the real marks of a star. I heard later that a bunch of bands at that show threw temper tantrums on the other stages and went back to their buses leaving their audiences angry bitter. Meanwhile I was standing out there in the mud and rain sipping on my flask and listening to some of the funniest shit I have ever heard while Rob Zombie's makeup dripped off his face and his dreadlocks became completely soaked. It was a whole ass vibe.
Rob is just a nerdy dude who is living out his dreams, and he is a really cool, grounded guy.
They think they can slow walk Trump to 2028 and be done with him, but unless he dies, he isn't going to just sit at home quietly. That's not Trump, even before he was president. He will be vocal about a nominee and I could see him doing rallies here and there for whoever he picks and the guy he does choose effectively get a golden ticket to be the 2028 GOP candidate. People voted for MAGA and Trump, and that's why his voice and decisions even after leaving office will carry importance.
He has said from day one that Vance is his choice to succeed him and keep the work going, so you can bet he will be out there rallying like mad for Vance’s ticket.
Vance is dangerous in a way Trump isn't. Vance is very smart, and very focused. He has a way of disarming his critics that you have to see to believe.
Sucking Cheney's dick to spite Vance is definitely the most Jewish thing I've seen you do
The attempted gotcha with the story Walz told about his son witnessing the shooting, and JD’s reaction to it was a star-making moment. Walz clearly expected some kind of pushback, but got “Sweet Christ, nobody should ever have to see that.” It showed a level of humanity few politicians are in touch with, and the look on Walz’ face was like he shit himself in the realization he’d just blown the whole game.
he's got turbojews and people who hate brown wives equally mad
A couple of months back he was doing a dinner in the Rose Garden and for once the media was there watching. While Trump was giving his toastmaster he causually thew out some comment about how there was a lot of talk about whether Vance or Rubio would be his annointed successor. When Vance's name was mentioned there was a huge roar from the crowd, when Rubio's name was mentioned there was a noticably quieter roar. I remember Trump looked sort of taken aback after the first roar, like he hadn't expect anyone to react to what he thought was causual banter, and after the second he made some comment about how they would be a better together o algo
You mean by sending his minions to attack criticism with legitimate points and then sending the minion to podcasts with hosts that attack Trump?
The quant version of kimi 3 (its native format is 4bit mxfp4) still needs a tiny cluster of hella expensive GPUs (iirc it's around 1.5TB, so like 64 GPUs), so no chance. Bar some new breakthrough you're not going to run current frontier level models outside of datacenters unless you're crazy, rich and enjoy wasting money.
if you lose a debate to this
Walz is an idiot. Vance is not. The tactics Vance used were also unorthodox at the time. I was rather impressed. He's a natural.
JD Vance was Charlie Kirk's pick. TPUSA works with Trump a lot.
