    Apparently. :shrug:

    But knowing it's SNL, that at least tells me something of what it is.

    Many shows YouTube channels are (well the channels are usually there, but videos will be restricted).

    It's usually because some local distributor has the streaming rights.

    Hegseth also announced Elon will be advising on future warfare. So this is really in the "fucking hell, you've had some cowboys in here!" territory.

    A prominent election denier whom the Trump administration hired to pursue investigations into election-related conspiracy theories has resigned several months after he failed to find evidence that the 2020 presidential race, which President Donald Trump lost, was stolen.
    Kurt Olsen, a conspiracy theorist with no prosecutorial experience, left his Department of Justice (DOJ) position Monday


    Earlier this month, Joseph diGenova, the case’s top prosecutor, also abruptly resigned after coming under pressure to quickly press charges. DiGenova is a Trump loyalist who served as a lawyer on his 2020 campaign and supported the president’s false assertions that the election was rigged against him.
    Olsen was just one of roughly a dozen election deniers hired by the administration. He gained prominence as the architect of the president’s 2020 election-denial campaign. His unfounded claims spurred the criminal investigation behind the Fulton County raid, even though the FBI had reportedly already debunked many of the claims used to open the probe.

    Cipolla divided people into four groups: the helpless, whose actions harm themselves but benefit others; the intelligent, whose actions benefit themselves and others; the bandits, who enrich themselves while harming others; and the stupid, whose actions harm others while producing no benefit to themselves. This latter group is Cipolla’s main concern. “No matter how high are one’s estimates of human stupidity,” he wrote, “one is repeatedly and recurrently startled by the fact that a) people whom one had once judged rational and intelligent turn out to be unashamedly stupid; b) day after day, with unceasing monotony, one is harassed in one’s activities by stupid individuals who appear suddenly and unexpectedly in the most inconvenient places and at the most improbable moments.”
    Undoubtedly, you’re pondering all of the stupid people you know. But the real danger, Cipolla contended, is when stupid people gain power, exponentially increasing the danger to us all. In this scenario, the stupid will have at their disposal means of destruction created by the intelligent—armies, weapons systems, monetary levers, media influence—and will oversee industries often controlled or influenced by bandits, weakening the institutions designed to monitor them. Imagine, if you will, if an extraordinarily stupid man were to somehow become secretary of defense, jeopardizing both our soldiers and our position in the world while also promoting a testosterone-based culture that could damage our forces for years. To avoid this, Cipolla said, it is the job of the intelligent to keep the stupid in check. If they fail to do so, societies head downhill fast.
