Tim Cook's legacy will be enshittifying Apple's software, abusing their market dominance, and then playing apologist to fascism.
Under his leadership they burned billions on a car that never drove, and the only major attempt at a new product during his tenure (the Apple Vision Pro) was a total dud.
SLIPPING INTO MADNESS IS GOOD FOR THE SAKE OF COMPARISON
Less firin', more hirin',
Less Wall Street, more Main Street,
Less ICE thugs, more nice hugs,
Less droppin' bombs, more helpin' moms,
Less shootouts, more cookouts,
Less hypocrisy, more democracy.

As we learn that Gabbard has referred the Ukraine whistleblower and the IG to the DOJ for prosecution, keep in mind that last May, a whistleblower reported her for hiding intel about foreign agents discussion someone close to Trump about Iran. From February: www.muellershewrote.com/p/new-tulsi-...
meme - shows a woman typing into her phone with the bubble from it reading “I hate jazz rock” and below is a bunch of steely dan albums saying stuff like “even me?” “what’d i do?” “???” “u hate me?”

Now THAT is a list that puts a smile on my face. 😀
J.D. Vance as Death going down a series of doors marked Pope Francis, Iran negotiations, Viktor Orban’s re-election and U.S. midterms.
went to check out the techno rave outside Parliament and I don't think I have the data allowance to share a video from it but let me tell you: there sure is a techno rave outside Parliament right now, celebrating Orban getting ousted
BYE ORBAN
The jobs that AI won't be able to replace are largely the ones our society undervalues.

This is terrifying, grotesque and dystopian.
We are currently powerless in the face of these cannibalistic tech monsters.

This post is still live on X.
They can’t keep making up these stupid portmanteaus. We’re going to end up with
‘RomantasyDramedyWestical
HorromedySpyFi’ at this rate. Not to mention the fucking gender binary. Ugh.

There's a new GOP talking point that trans people kill more people than ICE agents. I've seen it a dozen times on social media and it's already been made into a meme.
So here's your reminder it's completely false. Also, trans people aren't rounding folks up and shipping them to concentration camps.
I saw my first Brooklyn Waymo today, but there was a driver behind the wheel? Is that person mapping streets?

For those asking on illegality: The threat itself is a violation of IHL, incorporated into the U.S. DoD's Law of War Manual under 10.5.3.2: "Collective penalties and likewise all measures of intimidation or of terrorism are prohibited." And, if carried out the way he makes it sound --> genocide
Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.
It’s absolutely wild that anyone thinks Kanye is “rehabilitated” or whatever. He sold a swastika t shirt and released a song called “Heil Hitler” like 14 months ago.
Oh this is great: there’s now an #Artemis II Lunar Flyby Gallery on the NASA images site: www.nasa.gov/gallery/luna... (thx @dpmanchee.bsky.social for pointing it out)
I simply can’t believe Congress and the cabinet are sitting around, totally fine with what is absolutely demented behavior from the president.
I WAS THERE
A little food for thought on a Saturday evening. Did you know that if you live in Florida your vote counts ¼ as much as someone voting in Wyoming?
It’s time to end the Electoral College
If we bought a few less bombs, we could probably afford nice things.
One thing I'd like to see from the next presidency would be to appoint a special commission to prepare a report on the actual cost to defend the United States from attack.
Not foreign wars.
Just the cost to defend this country.
It's very "fuck the algorithm". Zero "content". Just sounds that haunt. Something to aspire to.
