When a sitting representative refers to the Super Bowl halftime show as “pornography,” people should use that to reflect on how they and other representatives are simultaneously working to ban, censor, and restrict “pornography” and what that actually means
to the extent that there is a “carrot” to trumpism it is the same carrot that slaveholders offered to lower class white men: “you can be an overseer”
“.. On closer inspection, however, it turned out that the image was not a photograph of a real event in Portland, but instead a fabrication created by combining two photographs of scenes that unfolded in South America nearly a decade apart ..”

How is this supposed to work for me when the proposition being put forward is that Black people lack the intellectual capacity for public life and not enough of us are in prison?
My AirPods Pro (first gen) batteries are finally starting to fizzle. Upgrading to gen 3 would be a no-brainer...if I could easily replace the batteries.
I'm glad Apple uses recycled materials and whatever, but they keep manufacturing things designed for a landfill.
I don't want a thinner phone, I want good battery life and repairability!
my father-in-law is a “I know a guy” Guy. sadly all the old Guys are aging out of the Guy Economy. Guys are fundamentally incompatible with Hustle Culture because it’s not about “winning” a deal, it’s about collecting favors and goodwill in a mutually-beneficial cycle. protect your local Guy Economy

you continue to fail in so many ways it must be intentional
"ancient" doesn't carry a value valence, and if anything sounds positive
have some pride. use words that actually mean things:
"debunked in 1772" "medieval" "nonsense" "fantasy" "imaginary" "completely off their fucking asses"
It’s really comforting that as food skyrockets in price, your neighbors are disappeared by masked goons, and people die en masse of preventable illness, Republicans and Democrats can come together and say: fuck this one trans teenager in particular for trying to run track with her friends
Kidnapping.
Capturing a person against their will without due process is called kidnapping.
Transporting them to another country without due process is called human trafficking.
A squalid extrajudicial prison for people found guilty of no crime is called a concentration camp.
Am I depressed because of what's happening or am I depressed because of the people who somehow didn't see it coming?
Both. It's both.
The last day on which a majority of the Supreme Court’s justices had been appointed by Democratic presidents was May 14, 1969.
One of the things we do in the legal academy is support our claims with facts.
Confirming, as was obvious from context already, that this wasn’t a one-off. They are routinely using Signal to evade statutory record retention requirements.
The senator shall bear contempt hereditary
For sure. Blocking at the DNS level can have unintended consequences, too. I was recently blocked on a project, unable to figure out why a request kept crashing. I spent a few days combing through the project, using xdebug, etc.
DNS. It was DNS. Pihole? more like own goal
I use Pihole! You can get similar benefits by pointing your router's DNS resolver at AdGuard: adguard-dns.io/en/public-dn...
Doesn't solve for being away from home wifi. And it can block useful stuff, or project dependencies. Also depends on your tolerance for becoming your home's sysadmin 😬
By all means don’t listen to the voters

this little shithead lied to me
I feel like this POV is a direct result of being even a little curious about how things work.
Modern life is the result of the accretion of knowledge gathered by, not geniuses or great men, but normal people like you and me, over generations, despite unimaginable challenges.
Humans are amazing.

I think one of the best things you can do if you're worried about Trump is pay for good reporting. I've recently subscribed to Wired, WSJ, Rollingstone who have all been running real, properly researched articles on the admin.
A side-by-side comparison of Hoggle, from the 1980s movie The Labyrinth, with RFK Jr., during his confirmation hearing. Hoggle is an animatronic goblin-man created by Jim Henson for the movie. Both figures are open-mouthed and looking to the left of the viewer. The similarities are remarkable.
mainstream media doesn't want you to know the truth
BOOM or DOOM: Rising up and seizing the means of production!
Sol Price, the founder of the company that eventually became Costco, grew up in a socialist community. He was a strong supporter of labor, and believed there was such a thing as a single person making too much money.
I wonder if the Costco Guys would still call themselves Costco Guys if they knew.
