I've got mixed feelings. One one hand, having a human garden ornament exemplifies how the monied elites really think. On the other hand... it sounds like my ideal situation. Yeah, just bring my meals and don't talk to me. What's the Wi-Fi password? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garden_...

My Boomer dad has become my bellwether for AWS outages. The off-brand puzzle game he's addicted to is one of the first services to go, it seems. Southeast AWS outages happening right now. You would think a bazillion dollar tech company could fix a DNS bug, wouldn't you? Unless they're lying.

I think we need to reframe things and refer to any software that intentionally negatively affects user experience to further some ulterior motive as "malicious software"

Only kids raised in doomsday cults are equipped to deal with the current state of the world.

"I didn't vote for this." Maybe you didn't think you were. But you also didn't listen to anyone who told you what you were endorsing.

Perhaps she should have studied Islam a bit before marrying into it? It's a common practice among some wealthy Muslim men to have a brief ceremony performed to "marry" a woman they intend to defile and dump. Many imans happily cooperate. Ain't religion grand? www.scmp.com/week-asia/pe...

"Zohran Mamdani polled +40% on men under 30. So we wasted all that time on all those think pieces about how we need a Joe Rogan for the left, when what we actually needed were *policies* for the left." Hey, @governor.ca.gov are you listening?

Electric cars use more power -per passenger- than an electric bus, which uses more power than an electric train. Trains do not shred tire micro plastic onto roads, which are then washed into the oceans. If the objective is sustainability, trains are the most sustainable mode of ground transport.

in unrelated news Paul Pelosi is retiring from investing

Nancy Pelosi is retiring before she dies!? Good for her! Best news so far this year!

When a country uses rape as a weapon against it's enemies, no woman or child is safe. I can only hope the rapists face some kind of justice one day. It won't be any time soon. mondoweiss.net/2025/11/outr...

I guess it wouldn't have mattered if Silwa dropped out after all.

"I just don't think queer liberation is going to be found in capitalism," she told KUT News. "Queer spaces don't need to be like Taco Bell.” Someone's been paying attention! Capitalism isn't compatible with protecting marginalized communities. That's not profitable. www.kut.org/austin/2025-...

I feel a disturbance in the force. The younger generations have rejected over a century of lies about socialism. The capital class isn't done fighting us. Media propagandists will dial up the hysteria. And a wave of fake socialist candidates will appear, ready to seize the zeitgeist.

Trump and the Islamic State are both responsible for ruining words in the English language. If only that were all they had in common.

Not enough people are saying it, but it's true. Big Tech has circled the wagons around Trump's regime. They can silence this site.

Damn near every Hispanic family brutalized, torn apart, and even SEXUALLY ASSAULTED by ICE are CHRISTIANS. Ukrainian kids murdered by Putin are CHRISTIANS. Islamists in Nigeria by far kill more Muslims than any other group. IT'S ALL ABOUT RAPING IT FOR OIL AND RARE EARTHS.

There aren't enough people on Bluesky saying it so I will: Dick Cheney was a horrible human being and if there is a God judging him right now, his next stop is hell. Can't wait to hear what Trump has to say about Dick's legacy.

I want the United States government to ensure that every American has food to eat, a place to live, a safe neighborhood, transportation to move around & work, clean water to drink, free health care & free education. Don’t care what label you give that. That’s what I want my taxes to pay for.

A man was sexually assaulted by a group of Israeli guards and for some reason, the media won't call it rape. But the legal definition is very clear. The guards are being protected, but we know the identity of the person who outed them. She's not protected. www.bbc.com/news/article...

They know there's no equality in the cities either. There are fewer things which women are excluded from. Shinto has always managed change better than hierarchical religious orgs. But the gender dynamic is tricky. Female paramedics aren't even allowed in sumo rings. www.npr.org/2025/11/03/g...

Socialism is practically unknown outside Sweden. Capitalism has shaped our entire world. Including our views on socialism. Full disclosure, NBC is a capitalist rag, which has been shaping views on socialism since the dawn of commercial radio. www.nbcnews.com/politics/ele...

"...he asid during the call." Tech Crunch is a major outlet that covers TECHNOLOGY and tthey can't use spell check? Or for some reason, more writers are having to turn it off? techcrunch.com/2025/11/02/m...

Venezuela and Nigeria is where Trump wants to wage war to protect the sanctity of human life. Bush was concerned about Kuwait and Iraq. What do all of these countries have in common? Large crude oil reserves. Think Trump is the first POTUS bagman for Big Oil & Big War? Bush wasn't even first.

Trump doesn't care why Nigerian are killing each other or why. Anyone with a basic understanding of the history knows that Muslims & Christians have been killing each other there for generations. And that Nigeria has the largest crude reserves in Africa. www.france24.com/en/africa/20...

Except expanding SCOTUS. That's a race to the bottom.

They hated America so much that they left. If only more "patriotic conservatives" would do the same, America would be greater for each defection. They might want to learn Russian first. It is the official language 🤣 www.nbcnews.com/world/russia...

How many Trump humpers does it take to change a light bulb? None! Trump says the light works and they all sit there in the dark, telling each other how blindingly bright everything looks.

Some sweets can cause terrible heartburn. Vengeance is one of them.

He was wrong and admits it. That will never be enough for some people. Frankly, the most troubling thing for me is the continual defections from his campaign.

When officers can't be held responsible for use of force, they begin to feel like they can't be held to account for anything. Just basic cause and effect. www.spokesman.com/stories/2025...

If it can operate remotely, it can be hacked. In fact, even human-crewed boats with computer controls can be hacked. Judging from a string of USN collisions off the coast of China the last few years, they already have been.

40 million users and "thumbs down" in Beta right now! I don't guess I'll do much thumbing down. If I find content offensive, I tend to mute the account. If I just don't like it, that's what scrolling is for. techcrunch.com/2025/10/31/b...

It's time to reconcile the meanings of "theology" & "mythology". Both words mean the same thing.

It really does seem as if Bari is ethically cleansing the CBS news room. I'm not sure if she's using the "brown paper bag" test or just winging it. variety.com/2025/tv/news...

Cops are so much like children, it's almost funny. Give them a new toy and they forget everything else. Including the basics of police work. It's the same reason "journalists" love to mutually masturbate on X: Laziness, pure and simple electrek.co/2025/10/30/r...

Good for them! The future of technology is decentralized and open source. Next, they need to get away from the Windows operating system all together. www.euractiv.com/news/interna...

OR & WA are two of the blue states that have been working to ban gas appliances in new construction. Like Republicans working to repeal the ACA, there is no plan to eliminate the need for gas or covering costs. Rather burn nat gas, coal or build a nuclear plant? www.opb.org/article/2025...

For immigration enforcement, sure. Not as a sectarian militia with the express intent to intimidate voters or poll workers. Not to murder protesters, Handmaid style. While police look away and maybe the National Guard is deployed to another part of the state. san.com/cc/pardoned-...

"We – reporters and editors – should be asking: Who is telling me this and why? How do I know they’re who they say they are? How plausible is what I’m being told? What can I do to check?" Journalism 101, children. Who, what, where, when and why! I'm dying here! 🤣 deadline.com/2025/10/bill...

It's definitely a win for Epic, but it's also a win for a lot of small devs and content providers. Now they can process payments outside of Google's exploitive Play Store ecosystem. They could not have paid the army of lawyers. Apple's likely next. www.androidauthority.com/google-play-...

Just a quick reminder that JB Pritzker is a multi-billionaire. That means he's part of the problem, and will never be any part of a solution.

“If that standard is raised even more, it’s unrealistic to assume that people will enjoy their classes.” That could be one of the most entitled statements I've ever read. It screams: "I have a trust fund and never need to get a job!" www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

It's tough to paint him as a secret Nazi when he never made any antisemitic comments and called others out for racism. But they sure are going to try? It just doesn't seem to be effective. Shout out to a blue MAGA for posting a link he clearly didn't read! jacobin.com/2025/10/plat...

Buttigieg stans are the saddest Democrats I've ever encountered. Am I missing something? He's not a persuasive speaker. His positions are the most anodyne, center-right, neoliberal slop. Enjoy that poll! It's as close as he gets. It's almost as if they have some kink about running losers.

With Hegseth at the helm, I'm sure America's nuclear weapons program is in good hands! www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

He's back! www.msnbc.com/top-stories/...

Jim Jones tells it like it is. Different guy, I checked. The other one's dead. idahocapitalsun.com/2025/10/29/w...

We always spray the frog plants with filtered water, to avoid burning their little eyes with municipal chlorine. Because they will organize and march.

Notice how it’s somehow the government’s job to legislate a few Bible verses on human sexuality over our entire country, but it’s suddenly “not the government’s job” when it comes to the +2,500 Bible verses calling for a generous use of wealth that prioritizes the poor.
