Free Republic

They put a bug on my computer that has a 500GB appetite for free space. My computer is 469GB. By the time I was made aware of what's happening my free space was down to ~5GB. MS released a patch, but it requires ~6GB to install and run. By the time I was made aware of the patch, my free space was down to ~2GB. I tried to download the patch several times but it aborted each time for lack of space. I deleted programs and files but as soon as I did, the bug ate the free space. Now,...

@JamesOKeefeIII Regardless of what you think of him, this will always be one of the most powerful speeches in the history of the Senate. Back in 2018 when this happened, friends of mine who were not political teared up after watching this.

Representative Thomas Massie on Friday questioned why Republicans continue to emphasize widespread election fraud even as the party holds total governing power across Washington, calling it a contradiction at the heart of the GOP's message. “I mean, we won all the damn elections and we’re in charge,” he said. “And what are we doing with it? We're bankrupting the country, we're starting new wars, we're violating the Constitution. We're not cracking down on the fraud."

A black feminist historian whose work is being labeled as misleading — and who may have lost her cushy academic job — says it all comes down to an attack on black women. The New York Times tells the tale of Kerri Greenidge, whose 2022 book “The Grimkes” was hailed for its narrative about a slaveholding family and its work in the abolitionist movement. Publishers Weekly put the book on its list of that year’s top books, while the American Historical Association handed Greenidge the Joan Kelly Memorial Prize, which honors scholars in women’s history and feminist theory. But the...

Stand-up comedian Margaret Cho posted a video on her Instagram mocking the death of South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham and expressing her hope that another prominent Republican will die next. The 57-year-old celeb said in the video, “Bye, Lindsey Graham … bye, Lindsey! From the closet to the coffin, real seamless,” referencing rumors that the senator was secretly gay. “Um, also, yeah Mitch McConnell,” she went on. “So, it’s Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham … it does happen in threes. Hope!” Cho is believed to be indicating that the third “death” would be President Trump. ... Even people who commented...

Again. And I think you nailed it. They are looking to find Platner wannabes, cookie cutters, rather than the Democratic establishment. The moderate stepping in and saying the leftward drift is going to take us nowhere. Good. The moderates in the party are stepping back because they're scared of the socialist wing. But this socialist wing is basically, as I say, they're cookie cutters, they're boring people. They're very boring. Most of them have never had jobs. They repeat Marxist and socialist clichés. They align themselves with racist Middle East Nazi movements. They sell the voters a con job because...

The digital economy runs on data centers, a vital core of modern infrastructure most people never see. But there’s a debate brewing about data centers, with plenty of misinformation aimed at slowing data center development and, in some cases, halting it altogether.

In 1958, the world was introduced to an intergalactic horror movie about an alien gelatinous goo that consumes everything in its wake: The Blob. The '50s B-movie has gone down in history as a classic monster flick, that would later even spawn a gory remake in 1988. But, this terrifying UFO film isn't entirely fiction, and you may want to keep an eye on the sky after hearing the shocking true story that inspired The Blob.
