Weird ask: Mac desktop to borrow for 6 months in Seattle to support volunteer work by a friend for an arts non profit for youth

Hey so…healthcare in this country is absolutely collapsing at an unprecedented rate and most of you have absolutely no idea and frankly don’t give a shit and that’s exactly part of the problem and the reason it’s been picking up speed in its collapse since the beginning of COVID.

A tweet from Representative Thomas Massie that reads: I just viewed 2 Top Secret FISA docs. 1) FISA Court opinion that raises serious concerns about FBI implementation of FISA 702. 2) letter by Senator Wyden describing a secret government interpretation of FISA law. The Constitution requires I vote No on FISA 702 reauthorization.

I sent a classified letter to House and Senate colleagues about a secret interpretation of surveillance law that every American should be concerned about.

Representative Massie is right. The Constitution requires EVERY member to vote against a clean reauthorization.

Will you be watching me mastadon?

using a computer is much easier than using a smart phone

Bye!

Maybe you're projecting? Your participation in this conversation is entirely voluntary.

I mean, I just asked a simple question in response to your post. If you want to have a private conversation with someone, this isn't the forum for that. I don't know how you came to believe otherwise, but you should reexamine that belief.

Why do you think Josh would take notes from a crank like you?

Like, you could have just explained what you found difficult to parse about Josh's skeet. It's pretty information dense, and contains enough detail that additional context isn't really necessary. He packed it all in quite well, I thought. You seemed to disagree. So I asked you to clarify.

I asked a question so that I could understand your complaint. You refused to take it, and instead told me to worry about myself. That's weird and rude.

To use a popular phrase: "you can dish it out, but you can't take it".

Hypocritical much?

I'm on a social media website. It's not rude of me to ask someone to clarify something they posted. Are you new to the internet?

What context is missing?

really good images of the model of NYC they made for the hudsucker proxy from an old issue of cinefex

💥🇭🇺With 95% of votes counted, Hungary’s map shows the opposition Tisza party crushing Fidesz 94–12 in constituencies. Péter Magyar has secured a 2/3 majority, asked President Tamás Sulyok and other Orbán loyalists to resign immediately, and announced his first visit to Warsaw.

Viktor Orban accomplished so much of what the Trump movement wants to accomplish here

he ruled for 16 years and rewrote the rules in his favor

and still, they threw him out

and you know what? they did it by voting

don’t let anyone tell you voting doesn’t matter

💥🇭🇺🗳️ BREAKING: Péter Magyar says Viktor Orbán called to concede and congratulate him.

Magyar will be Hungary’s next prime minister and, as it stands, is set to secure a 2/3 supermajority – enough to fully dismantle Orbán’s system.

A 16-year chapter is over.

Manned space flight makes my wife anxious. She just described it as "The great power version of when Dad tosses an infant into the air and catches it".

A former judge and former criminal defense attorney once described being a CDA as the batter running out the play on a ground ball to the short stop.

A lot of the time, you’re going to be out. And you deserve to be out. CDAs live in the community too and they don’t want murders and robbers

Nah. "Engineer"-in-bio remains undefeated.

Judge Tosses Elon Musk's Antitrust Suit Against Departing X Advertisers Elon Musk and allies in high places have argued that advertiser boycotts of the X/​Twitter site based on aversion to ideological content violate the law. A federal judge in Texas just rejected an anti...

New from me at Cato: a Texas federal judge "has thrown out X’s suit claiming that advertisers and an industry group violated antitrust law by pulling back from buying ads on the site" and exchanging info on related matters. Shunning Twitter isn't just legal -- it's protected by the First Amendment.

"Picture a bright blue ball just spinnin', spinnin' free
Dizzy with eternity
Paint it with a skin of sky
Brush in some clouds and sea
Call it home for you and me."

the user is often wrong

💥Not how one wants to be featured in the @nytimes.com, but I’m glad a US audience sees what’s happening in this small country’s wild election campaign. As with other Orbán-related news, here's my warning to US colleagues: Orbán's actions still serve as a blueprint for Trump/MAGA.

Who said he should stay in leadership? I think you just made up a guy to be mad at.

I used to watch the 11 PM news on channel 4 in NY (NBC). TIL that NBC then coerced me into watching The Tonight Show.

I wish more people understood that "we have an app" is often just a mildly customized browser wrapped around privacy violations and poor security.
