From 2005 to 2012, one CBP officer or agent was arrested for corruption, crimes, or misconduct EVERY SINGLE DAY. By 2019, it had slowed to just one every 35 hours. Still a huge problem:

Citing concerns about DEI, the Department of Education has halted funding for programs that support students with combined hearing and vision loss in eight states. “How low can you go?” one advocate asked. “How can you do this to children?” By @jodiscohen.bsky.social @jsmithrichards.bsky.social

I’m extremely skeptical about the claims Apple made about the iPhone cameras today. I don’t think 8x is optical zoom; I think it’s a 12MP crop of the 4x lens. There’s no images of the internals like there were last year.

I have a call I recorded via iPhone today and the transcription is completely terrible; It leaves out most of the call. Is there a way to force iOS to regenerate it?

Time to get out the pitchforks and guillotines, folks (if you haven’t already). arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

“Cuomo is part of a legal team representing B. Netanyahu against ICC charges of war crimes. The team was assembled by A. Dershowitz, a close associate of J. Epstein. Rich people who liked Epstein also like Cuomo, a fellow predator & death merchant. They need Cuomo to hold office & keep secrets.”

@gruber.foo Re using ®️ in the title of F1 The Movie, “F1” is a registered trademark that Apple had to license for the movie and is almost certainly contractually obligated to mark as such whenever they use it.

WATCH: Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social says Dems are here at the Casada Corruption trial to shine a light on the fact that it isn’t about ex Republican speaker Casada, or current speaker Sexton testifying against him — it’s about a system that empowers Republican to run TN “like a circus”

A colleague at Stanford’s business school used The Stanford Daily to argue—poorly—against DEI. The piece was riddled with historical errors and left one searching for fact, so I broke my public writing hiatus to respond. I hope you’ll read and share the piece. stanforddaily.com/2025/04/22/w...

@pxlnv.bsky.social On the one hand, I agree that RSD is a little out of control. At the same time, it feels a little like snobbery to dunk in the Rock-afire Explosion.

I just had to replace all three wiper blades on my not-quite-2-year-old Civic and the OEM parts were $100. Tried getting replacements at Autozone and Advance Auto Parts and the recommended replacements didn’t actually work. 😵

@bsky.app I never get the code via email to confirm my address. But it asks me to confirm my email every time I log in.

just wanna remind people that the person who snitched on luigi got none of the promised reward because of random technicalities. you have nothing to gain by being a rat.

I went ahead and cancelled my @washingtonpost.com and @nytimes.com subscriptions. The Times is far too up it’s own both-sides-ism ass and Bezos can get wrecked like he did dirty to the Post.

The DOGE team does NOT have the time, skills, or resources to do any kind of actual “audit” of federal data or to “modernize” the information systems to which they have gained access—which are the lies being asserted to give them cover. So what are they really doing in these systems?

Not gonna lie: I really dislike stuffed crust pizza. On paper it sounds great, but in practice you get semi-melted mozzarella cheese stick wrapped in underdone pizza crust—the worst of all worlds.

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Elon’s response to a post simply naming the 6 people he has working for him inside our government. Apparently, it is a crime for the American people to know who they are.

PBS: “A 25% tariff on Canada and Mexico will raise production costs for U.S. automakers, adding up to $3,000 to the price of some of the roughly sixteen million cars sold in the United States each year… Grocery costs could rise…” Take that, libs! 💰 www.pbs.org/newshour/eco...

NEW: Sources tell my office that Treasury Secretary Bessent has granted DOGE *full* access to this system. Social Security and Medicare benefits, grants, payments to government contractors, including those that compete directly with Musk's own companies. All of it.

Can’t even with the news these days. Can anyone recommend some current hardcore bands I should check out? I kind of stopped listening to new hardcore around ~2000, so my reference point is like Strife, Integrity, Snapcase, Earth Crisis, Shelter, 108.

feel like there’s a term for when you “clean out” a group of people from the place they live

Does everyone on the autism spectrum inadvertently appear at a rally for German neo-Nazis and tell them they shouldn’t feel guilty about their far-right extremist views because their ancient genes make them good fighters? Is that a common symptom? Or can we draw conclusions about Musk from this?

Ironically @netflix is the service I watch the least so it’s gonna be first on the chopping block. I don’t really care if they are “spending more” producing “quality content”. Spend less! Make less! There’s already too much stuff to watch.

From serving a seditious conspiracy sentence to VIP seating… quite the turnaround…

@pbones.bsky.social Those tire spikes honestly terrify me every time I’m passing a truck and it swerves into my lane. I imagine something like the drag racing scene from Grease. 😬

She called for kindness, mercy, and basic Christian values. Trump and his entire administration can go to hell. There is no unity to be had with these people.

We fought for years to make this office a reality and lives were saved because of it. Stay tuned because we’re not giving up on this. Trump might be okay with dissolving a life-saving office but the people aren’t.

If you replace "trans" with "Black" or "Jewish" and it sounds like something a Nazi would say, then it's something a Nazi would say and by definition hate speech.
