What's the difference between today and 40 days ago? Not a damn thing. I legitimately feel like Democrats just fumbled at the 10 yard line. Man, I had hope. Like real hope, that they reached in their pants and found accountability. I slept better this week. It really is a big club, isn't it?

You're not the boss of me now! You're not the boss of me now! You're not the boss of me now, and you're not so big...

I would like to point out that the Fifth Amendment reads "No Person", not "No citizen". Feels a bit... unconstitutional to claim that due process is only for US Citizens, or legal immigrants.

The AWS outage shows, once again, why monopolization of anything is a bad idea. If we never allowed AWS to grow to that size and buy all of its competition. Since 2014, Amazon has acquired 18 companies that they rolled into AWS. 18 points of failure versus one. Consumers lose when companies merge.

It's 5 AM, I'm stoned, and I've been watching this for like 10 minutes. It's cinema. The silly elliptical bike, the fact that his flag is draped all sad, the knock-off black bloc outfit with the FUCKIN FLIP FLOPS? And no one's looking at him. Benny Hill on a pink megaphone upstaged his big moment.

What's so great about Webview2 anyway? Almost every incompatibility I've run into on linux stems from Webview crap. Is there no easier way to make graphics and shit for windows apps?

Holy shit. A congressional candidate leading by example. I was taught to lead from the front. It's how you motivate those around you to accomplish the mission.

What do you think all the servers we're using for AI will end up doing when the bubble bursts? Cheap gaming servers? High-fidelity 3d rendering farms? I mean, there's so much you can do with a kajillion graphics cards backed by the fastest internet ever used.

Legacy media having to learn what a groyper is was not on my 2025 bingo card. I love that they're always so caught off guard by how... online people are. The only thing funnier would be legacy media "discovering" how gross Asmongold is. Welcome to the internet, legacy media. You're gonna hate it.

Apparently @merriam-webster.com is one of the clippy folks, too. Fuckin sick.

We really need better tech literacy. Whats happened here is that a blurry photo was fed into a generative AI, which proceeded to make stuff up to fill in the missing (blurry) data in the image. I know the tech companies are preaching that Ai is magic, but it's just guessing. Expensively guessing.

Using LLMs for any process is just high-tech tea reading. Just go see a medium, at least you'll get human interaction out of it.

I've finally nailed down my largest problem with "AI" and this idea of a generative AI. Computers are great because they do exactly what you tell them to, for better or for worse. It's (ideally) determinitive and predictable. But AI is neither of those.

When I'm looking for the snacks I buried in the yard: Dig Newtons

Underrated reason to use Linux in 2025 is the pure shadenfreude of watching Windows users try to fix their drives after Microsoft shits the bed for the umpteenth update this year. It's not all peaches and rainbows, for sure. But I don't have to unfuck my OS every quarter.

I just wanna be the sandwich guy so bad. Throwing soft food should be covered under the first amendment.

Bout to get so high I need a Fremen Stillsuit to survive

The EA App is such a pile of garbage. Doesn't run in Proton, barely runs in Lutris. I have a valid license for the game, dammit! Let me run the game on whatever OS I want. Was thoroughly enjoying gaming on Linux until my friends wanted to play Battlefront II, which won't launch without the EA app.

hey @nytimes.com fuck you

I'd like to hear Billy's opinion on why Linux has been free, open source for decades. Every distro is hosted for free somewhere. Every windows application has some free alternative, or some free software that makes it work on Linux. What is the incentive for that?

Any one here got a gaming setup with Linux? I'm (slowly) making the switch. I got Bazzite installed and fought with filesystems for a bit before I got tired. How do you all store your games? Windows only on windows? Shared filesystem between the two?

I need ya’ll to spread this like crazy please. Really important. We are trying to get these going in every market that has a Fox affiliate. There are around 40. You’ve heard of Tesla takedown. This is fox takedown. LFG!!!!! Start your own. Follow @foxtakedown #foxtakedown #wearetheflood

LIVE From NO WAR With Iran Protest in NYC LIVE NOW: youtube.com/live/n8pKlYJ...

🚨BREAKING DOZENS OF VETERANS ARRESTED🚨 100s assembled in DC ahead of Trump's military parade to demand investment in communities & #MilitaryOffOurStreets were violently arrested. Deploying tanks, surveillance, & military-grade equipment on civilians is NEVER acceptable. ANYWHERE. #50501vets

Shoutout to our vets doing civil disobedience today. They were arrested. Brave folks for taking their stand. News hits different when it's vets getting arrested and protesting.

Shit!! My bad June14

Status Coup is covering a pop up protest outside an ICE facility in Newark, NJ. Status Coup reports there are riots in the Delaney Hall facility. There appear to be aboiut 20-30 people outside the facility at this time, disrupting vehicles coming and going @statuscoupnews.bsky.social

This is real shit. If you're still in the service, listen to what he says and take it to heart.

This guy needs to be pulled from duty. Holy shit, I would never point a rifle at an unarmed citizen. No, fireworks do not count as lethal munitions.

What do you mean "could". Take off the gloves and fight back. He called the National Guard on some protesters in LA. What are you trying to do, protect your funding? I've seen news footage this week of LAPD beating a single unarmed civilian WHILE trampling them with horses. Fuck's sake.

A message for Congress. 🎤🎵🎶💃🏽🕺🏽 Impeach. Convict. Remove.

@statuscoupnews.bsky.social is broadcasting LIVE from a NYC Free Palestine protest occupying part of the Columbia University Library. Some protesters were arrested and driven away in a bus. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cv8M...

Hi all! We have noticed some confusion about the MayDay - May 1st protests. Hopefully, this clears that up :)

See you out there today!

Trump is expected to try to invoke the Insurrection Act by Monday. Today may be the last legal protest you go on. I hope that was enough FOMO to encourage you. #HandsOff

I want you to go to the offices of your senators and Reps and tell them this message plainly to their faces. Tell them with gusto that if they won’t stand up to fascism. They can expect thousands to visit them wherever they are.

Hands Off Mass Call: What's Next in the Fight? www.youtube.com/watch?v=GToo... Live now with the organizers of Hands Off. They're talking about what's next after April 5th. How to be involved and informed about what actions we can take to fight back against the administration.

Idea: OPERATION PHONEPHREAKS At a designated date and time, everyone calls their Reps & Sens at once. Every congressional phone rings off the hook, non-stop for 2 hours. Every voicemail system fills up with protests It's non-violent, it's disruptive. I think it's certified Good Trouble Thoughts?

Hands off is having a Mass Call. "Join Hands Off! this Wednesday (4/16) at 8 PM EST/5 PM PST for a nationwide call to find out how we can build on the resounding success on April 5th and keep the pressure on Trump, Musk, and their enablers in Congress." mobilize.us/s/yGD9Ex #handsoff

Anyone ever think about how the GameBoy is more of a GameMan these days? Poor thing is 35 years old now.

If you are looking for 04/19/25 events don’t limit yourself. Many are not listed here. They are listed on Indivisible, Mobilize, and Women’s March sites. Don’t be discouraged thinking things aren’t happening. They just aren’t registering all of them with 50501. See you all out there the 19th!

The top story in the United States this week is the atrocities developing as a result of the relationship between Donald Trump and Nayib Bukele. Not tariffs. Not Katy Perry. Not whatever new dumb shit Elon Musk did. Major media needs to get this right and show America it is still paying attention.

I gotta tell you guys something--I appreciate the letter writing and all that...but I just do not feel like it meets the moment. If you have ever read history and thought to yourself "WHY DIDN'T THE GERMANS RIOT IN 1933?!" you are standing in that moment right now. What are you doing about it?
