HEY! MY FOLLOWERS. If you would be so kind please follow me on my new account on a noncorporate anticentralized server: @nek.blue-ocean.social - I've discovered there's no way to automate the migration and take you all with me, as it is so trivially easy to do on Mastodon. 10-Q

Chuck Schumer says Democrats would support renaming the Gulf of Mexico if Trump works with them to lower costs Schumer challenged Trump to address the cost of living for Americans, saying that if he did so, Democrats would back renaming the Gulf of Mexico.

With a small spoon and/or strainer, sprinkle a thin line of boric acid, sold as Borax laundry soap for cheap money, on the floor along each wall. They won't cross it. And it's safe for everyone.

The coming battle between social media and the state

Behind the alignment of X and Meta with Trump is a cold business logic — and a position of weakness rather than strength

This is the government’s appeal from the district court’s temporary injunction. Defendants have now asked the district court to extend its temporary injunction indefinitely and to conduct hearings regarding the propriety of the Attorney General’s release of the Final Report. Add. D. The United States respectfully requests that the USCA11 Case: 24-12311 Document: 103 Date Filed: 01/11/2025 Page: 16 of 71 4 Court summarily reverse the district court’s injunction for substantially the same reasons that supported denial of defendants’ motion for injunctive relief in this Court. At a minimum, the Court should immediately reverse the injunction to the extent it applies to Volume One. That volume has nothing to do with these defendants, and the district court had no authority to enjoin the release of a report about a different case against a different defendant that was bought (and since dismissed) in a different court. Because the government is likely to succeed on the merits, and because the irreparable harm to the United States and the public interest far exceeds any injury to defendants from allowing the Attorney General to proceed as he has proposed, summary reversal is warranted.

It’s my birthday so why not release a bonus episode today. So for this bonus episode we are joined by director JEFF FEUERZEIG (The Devil And Daniel Johnston) to discuss a very mysterious, litigious, and glorious documentary KISS IN CADILLAC, MICHIGAN 1975!

Judge Merchan "just kidding";

Zuckerberg turned a campus creeper app, scraping and rating female students, into a global Public Information Utility, left life committed to everyone's own truth and to avert their rights under the Common Carrier clause, that protects us from parasites like Meta.

Tesla Sold Me A Wrecked M3 As New I have been looking into upgrading my 2021 Model 3 SR+ to a Model Y. So I have been shopping my car around on the Carvana's, Vroom's of the world. My brother has the same car I do and was getting offe...

People have already bought new Teslas only to find out they had not only been owned previously, but actually crashed in some cases. Reselling a car bomb would be a new low, but not by THAT much

How Democrats can win the messaging war "Liberals trust the mainstream media — foolishly, I think. The trust is not deserved," Ryan Cooper tells us.

"In those counties I’m talking about — 'news desert' counties — Trump won 91% of them by an average of 54 points ... those counties could be going more conservative because there’s no local media to counteract the foghorn blasts of rightwing propaganda."

Officers invented a gang to falsely charge protesters as members.

They made up evidence.

Wrote false reports.

Lied in court.

After 4 years, a criminal investigation recommended charges for 7 officers and a prosecutor.

But officials won’t bring a case.

An acquaintance who had a kitchen full of Garfield memorabilia once looked me dead in the eye and solemnly intoned “to appreciate Garfield you gotta understand where Garfield is coming from,” and I’ve never really stopped thinking about that.

The "moderate" wingers who now comprise the DP, barely know how to run against GOP agenda but run almost entirely against progress, fairness & democracy that workingclass citizens crave. That's where The Party has utterly failed us since Carter, and how it has enabled fullblown US fass shizzim.

Look at what was taken in “sweeps” of homeless encampments.

Yes: The blockings here on this BS are publicly-accessible data via DID. Open is better, I mostly stick with federated services which not incidentally aren't restricted to these tiny character limitations.

I'm confused as to how to use moderation lists effectively. How can I even find the list of ones to which I've subscribed in the event I want to unblock one poorly-categorized individual? Also went to check on clearsky.app the list of people who have blocked me. Evidently very arbitrary.

Pretty wild that Elon’s debut as president elect was to strip funding for pediatric cancer research from the spending bill, only to watch the Senate have to pass it as a standalone bill. His first move was to fuck over kids with cancer.

Only ELEVEN Democrats voted against this bill which strips trans kids of their healthcare. Eleven. As the party lurches forward with a collaboration-with-Trump plan, we have officially been abandoned.
