The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

Not sure what's higher right now in DC: Trump's confusion, Miller's blood pressure, or Bondi's panic? Possibly the correct answer is Hegseth's BAC?

I helped update the guide for installing Affinity Studio apps w/ Wine on Linux. There's a lot of energy behind this right now. + Serif just made the announcement "Creative Freedom Is Coming" on Oct 30. Betting now that this will involve support for Linux github.com/seapear/Affi...

We need a real alternative to YouTube.

Threats were just called in at the DNC and HBCUs across America. We must come together, and with one voice overcome the forces of hatred that seek to divide us. Trump is stoking the flames of hatred and violence but we can’t succumb to it.

Every Star Trek episode that was derided as "unrealistic", where Kirk argues a computer into destroying itself, is vindicated.

This is a fascinating story: SEGM commissioned systematic reviews on gender affirming care, claimed they showed care should be banned, so the authors have released this statement saying their research is being misused and that it is unconscionable to ban gender affirming care:

How is it possible that I have 528 followers and a majority of my posts get absolutely zero interaction? @bsky.app please fix this. This platform needs to grow.

For alternatives to Google Forms, Fillout is really good! HeyForm also seems like a decent option but I haven't really tested it yet. It's little things like this that make de-Googling not only possible, but exciting. I can do so much more with Fillout than I was ever able to do with Google Forms.

Phone screen and back glass broke because of a drop. When I was replacing the screen, I accidentally tore the front camera's connector (it's a cheap fix but I don't really want to replace it right now). So I patched up the back with black gaff tape and glued a makeup mirror over it. Kind of a vibe!

PIN THIS.

This is hilarious. I'm just trying to imagine how this conversation went: BOSS: Hey, we just got these new decals in, can you post them up on the wall? EMPLOYEE: Sure, I'll go do that 2 minutes later, without peeling off any of the stickers:

I'm here for the Clippy movement. youtu.be/2_Dtmpe9qaQ

simple solutions to big problems do exist

Every time Tim Apple (Tim Cook) bows to Felon 47 I become more and more of an open source and Linux advocate. I think it's time to finally get rid of my iPhone.

First 2min: "15-year-old man and 15-year-old woman were arrested" "President Trump says he wants gang members over the age of 14 prosecuted as adults" Amidst everything going on with the Epstein case, calling young teens 'adults, men, women' feels extra insidious. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JS0B...

Israel has bombed and killed innocent people relentlessly for almost two years now. Shouldn't that be enough for the whole world to turn against it? Yet here in hell, many still support it as a nation "defending itself." Try telling that to the civilians who have found themselves running from bombs.

“Don’t trust everything you read online” was always good advice. Now it’s more important than ever with all the AI-generated lies we’re seeing.

How many upgrades do we have left? Let’s end fast tech.

o7 is a ridiculous looking salute.

It’s been over two months now since I switched to Linux - something I never thought would be possible, at least not for many years. But I pushed through some of my biggest hurdles, and now things are starting to feel familiar. I’m proud of myself for doing the hard thing and finding new liberty!

The Devil Wears Prada - my respect for this band just went up 1000x last night.

You are not a Democrat or a Republican any more than you are a Giant, a Yankee, or a 49er. These are private clubs owned by billionaires & run by millionaires that capture your dollars and attention that owe you nothing. They are teams that benefit from you thinking you're one of them. You're not.

“We the people” is the revolution. Always has been, always will be.

Call call call!!! Switchboard (202) 224-3121 You can also use the "Find Your Representative" feature on the House website to locate your or any Republican representative

5,000 person capacity camp started by the Nazis, six years before the gas chambers began. Are we going to let history repeat itself? www.nytimes.com/1933/04/05/a...

Calling your representatives is really pretty easy, even if you're phone shy. You're allowed to be awkward and stumble over words. Just get the point across of what you want to say. I saved my representatives' numbers to my contacts so it's easy to call them. I encourage others to do the same!

This never happened with Clippy.

Not now, everything.

Can someone please verify the height of the flagpoles -rump put up in front of the WH? I’m seeing conflicting reports online that say 100ft, 98ft, and 88ft. If it’s the latter, that is really saying something and we should all be sounding the alarm. I hope it’s not the case.

Today I found out Apple's weather app was showing 6⁰F less hot than it actually was outside. No wonder I was sweating like hell the other night when I had fans pulling air from outside. Think I will start exploring wunderground.com a little more and maybe set up my own weather station eventually!

ZOHRAN MAMDANI, FOR THE PEOPLE!

Another flag remix, this time with the Trans flag and the 1775 Liberty flag flown during the Revolutionary War. Through much introspection I've realized I enjoy the freedom to be able to transition more than even transitioning itself. That's ultimately what this month is all about: Love & Liberty

Going strong so far with a grand total of zero likes. Love it here. Truly screaming into the void

The racism in this country right now is so thick in the air you could cut it with a knife.

This nation was born of immigrants. Colonists came here without permission from indigenous peoples and did not learn their languages. Ellis Island was basically a free for all with only 2% of people denied entry. No way I'm going to turn around now and say something dumb like "we're full." F that

There I fixed it. The flag is mine now

For 10 years now I’ve been wanting a Prophet keyboard. Well, last month I had a dream that I was playing it for a carbon removal conference, so I splurged and finally bought one. I’m obsessed with the way each note comes out of one side of the stereo field or the other. So therapeutic, kind of EMDR.

No president has ever held a military parade on their own birthday (hello Adolf Hitler? Kim Jong Un? Saddam Hussein?). No president has ever shared propaganda including visions of a gold statue of himself (remember "Trump Gaza"). No president has ever expressed such a desire to be king. #NOKINGS

For me, the proper response to this is not: YOU VOTED FOR THIS screamed in all CAPS on social media. It's a conversation with this person that says hey there's even more bullshit the Trump regime is up to, can we talk about that too...

I stood watch at the Foley Square protest outside the ICE facility tonight. There was a huge line of officers there, maybe 10 police vehicles on site, two helicopters overhead, and a police bus ready to round protestors up. Only about 100 people showed up in my estimation. (1/3)

It’s not a rebellion against the United States government. It’s a rebellion against a rogue executive branch that does not represent the will of the majority of the American people. We MUST rise up to the moment.

This is all an attempt to suspend due process so they can do whatever they want to whoever they want. Constitution Art I, S9, C2.1: “The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it.”

We need to bring back victory gardens

Why is everything made of f***ing polyester

i’ve seen enough: it’s time for NY progressives to line up behind zohran mamdani so we don’t end up with andrew fucking cuomo as our mayor

The last time Apple did the bulk of its manufacturing in the United States was in the 80s and early 90s. I've been saying we need to revisit this time period. www.newindianexpress.com/videos/video...

If you're looking for an open source alternative to Microsoft Office, etc, I highly recommend OnlyOffice. Great program, very good compatibility, and you can collaborate online with others as well, all for free(!). Impressive and promising and I hope more people start to use it.
