poor guy spent four years in prison because an unregulated financial institution didn't secure a hundred billion dollars of customer assets, now he's begging for work and the execs responsible for that and other crimes are probably all super rich arstechnica.com/security/202...

A lot of Schumer supporters here insist that he has his finger on the pulse and knows how to speak effectively to the idiots of America, in a condescending tone to perceived idiots on this site who don't get it. As an idiot, that seems too clever by half. Maybe say what's most important instead idk

Gmail is putting this and a summary above emails when I open them. No google, you first

I prefer "peaty"

Exactly. It's not to show the ICE officer was in danger—the video he took himself shows he obviously isn't—but to show their supporters that the victim deserved to be murdered. And to show their opponents they can and will murder them in cold blood and with impunity.

gmail app is offering to "summarize this email" for an email that fits into two bsky posts. I would like a notification if a recipient ever does this, so I can avoid ever speaking to them again.

The talk of datacenters in space is even dumber than I had thought. Imagine replacing one datacenter with a swarm of 18,000 satellites the size of the International Space Station (ISS) and flying in formation with high speed data links! 1/3

I received this email about Democrats caving to end the shutdown from one of the SNAP recipients I spoke to:

Latest philosophy tube says carbon footprint is irrelevant because climate is a systemic problem, and also that each additional baby in a rich country means increased carbon emissions, and ignores both to get to [main topics]. These are commonly paired positions, but they are contradictory! 1/3

congratulations to everyone who gets to fly to a Thanksgiving dinner thanks to Schumer caving, you'll get to talk to Republican relatives about how evil Democratic politicians are

if you genuinely think Schumer and Democratic leadership opposed this & Republicans coincidentally got exactly the number of votes they needed to avoid a filibuster and none of those votes are from Democratic Senators who are up for reelection in the midterms next year, I have a bridge to sell you.
