That didn't take long...

Tucker Carlson and MTG talking sense now.

Is this real life?

History isn't going to be kind to this administration.

Reading @aptshadow.bsky.social 's Service Model. Very good book so far. :)

Justice Dept. Watchdog Has Gone Silent, Lawyers for Whistle-Blower Say

Right. I remember people saying Clinton vs. Trump was like Ramsay vs. Joffrey on Game of Thrones. Those Democrats would've gone for Bernie, but that would just have made Trump's win bigger. Hell, if Stein hadn't run, that might have been enough for her to win.

I think Bernie running third party would've thrown things in disarray, but I think it would've hurt Clinton more than Trump. The only way Bernie and Trump are similar is theyre not Democrats.

One thing I've never mastered about laptops is touchpads. My typing style means I'm always touching the touchpad when I type. The first thing I do when I get a new laptop is disable the touchpad.

"Democrat". Sorry. I wish Bluesky let you edit posts.

We have a two-party system. That's the reality. We can *work* towards a multi-party system, but the one we actually have is two-party. Until structural changes are made to the election process, either a Democrat or a Republican *will* win. Why do you think Sanders ran as a Demcorat in 2020?

I think voting 3rd party is just going to put another MAGAt in office. We can't afford that. I get that the Democratic party is too corporate for some, but you have to think about the immediate future and what's at stake. Another four years of MAGA rule would be devastating. Does anyone disagree?

Of course, the public thought Anthropic had drawn a line, and lost their contract… and they were rewarded with greatly increased downloads of the app, while Chat GPT was seeing mass defections.

Can someone explain to me the appeal of the Macbook Neo?

$600 for 8GB of RAM and no backlit keyboard doesn't sound like the deal of the century to me, but people are acting like these laptops are the shit, for some reason.

Make it make sense.

There are definitely immigrants we shouldn't let in, but that category list is exceedingly small. People with criminal records in their own countries and people who have communicable deadly diseases we can't treat.

Anyone else what's the excuse for not letting them in?

Currently installing WinBoat on my CachyOS machine. If this works, I'm saying goodbye to Windows on this machine, and when I get my new one, it's going to be Linux-only.

To demonstrate my chaotic writing process:

At my previous writers' group meeting, I presented chapter 30 of my WIP. At the next one, I'll be presenting the prologue, because there's a character important to the plot that didn't exist when I first wrote chapter 31, but is now critical.

Starting my second playthrough of Pentiment today. :)

"Sure, ICE is bad, but we need to deport illegal immigrants"

No you don't.

If immigration enforcement leads to concentration camps and roving death squads, maybe it's time to just get rid of the concept of illegal immigration entirely. You've tried it, it's a bad idea in practice, so bin it.

ICE Activity Tracker - Community Safety Alert System Anonymous community-driven tool to report and track ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) activity. Help protect undocumented immigrants and their families by sharing real-time safety alerts.

Passing this along.

Fuck ICE.

2) He wasn't praising Hitler or saying racist things. And that actually matters.
3) He's one person, not a whoel group.
