I finally got around to reading the Danish editorial about Chinese buses. (Translate in firefox worked pretty good, but something about that site seems to defeat google translate) The thing that makes me yawn is that they did this theatrical thing: drive buses into a mine where they can't […]

so we got the first Muslim mayor, born in Africa (Uganda) from South African Indian parents. the next 5 years of our arts & food scenes are gonna be 🔥🔥🔥 #nyc #2025elections #elections2025 #zohranmamdani

Oh look. The map got spikier and now the graph can no longer contain the pointy bits

NEWS ANALYSIS: Democrats are sweeping off-year elections. Here's why that's bad news for Democrats. (exclusive to all websites) #USPol

Speaking from personal experience, it hurts like hell when a publisher kills a great magazine you poured your heart into. But BYTE's fate wasn't political, as Teen Vogue's almost surely was. Sorry folks, I really do feel your pain. You will be missed […]

I will let private Hudson from _Aliens_ speak for #virginia #republicans #uspol

Let’s go #mamdani ! Everybody ready to relocate to NYC!? #uspol

MAMDANI!!!!

@paco I worked elections the last 4 years as an inspector, but not this year. I was VERY strict about workers wearing masks. Luckily in SF, lots of people still do. We have a big Asian elderly population and they usually still wear masks on buses & while shopping. I'm grateful for them #masking […]

@paco so like a regular CVS receipt size? 😂

Well, I did the thing. I also texted a friend who rarely votes. Virginia will have its first female Governor. Hopeful that it will be Spanberger 🤞 #virginia #elections

Here is my root post for my #electionofficer thread. It’s #electionday for #election2025. I’m serving as an officer in #fairfax county #virginia. While I work the polls I talk about what’s happening, what I’m seeing, and a little behind-the-scenes on working elections. It’s 06:20 now and I’ve […]

If I woke up tomorrow with my head sewn to the carpet, I wouldn’t be more surprised than I am now. #novemberanticipationanything #HashtagGames

My kid made this meme which I enjoy immensely. #noaiplease

Teen Vogue political reporters all terminated today. Disappointing to see one of the few remaining realistic news sources gutted like this.

the universe is only constantly expanding to get away from earth

It’s #electionday tomorrow and our precinct is all set up. Setting my alarm for 3:50am (just a few hours from now). Watch (or mute) the #electionofficer hashtag if you want to follow (or avoid) my running commentary throughout the day. I already learned some interesting stuff that I will share […]

This is what transparency laws do. Being American, I don’t know heise.de and I don’t know the German laws it operates under. I assume they write this so clearly because they must, because I think no company would be this open about tracking and shit if it […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

I had a weird dream last night. I was going to sleep with earplugs in (I do that sometimes, and I did that for real last night). I _dreamt_ that I was laying down in someone’s guest bedroom–with earplugs. Only o could hear someone crying or something. And I knew that I wasn’t hearing in the […]

I am sure if I dove off the edge of a building and fell 2 stories, I would not be able to catch a flagpole on the way down, even if it was in just the right position. And of course they're all worried "ahhhh!" because the bolts are pulling loose. But he […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

"Normal like a movie?" Girl, I have news for you. This movie is **not** normal. #monsterdon

if I had a nickel for each person in this movie currently trapped hanging from a cable attached to a burning building, then I'd have two nickels... but it's strange that it happened twice #Monsterdon

They're aliens from the planet Explodium 9. #monsterdon

It's nice that falling 2 stories and having her whole body weight pull on her leg didn't, you know, rip her leg out of its socket or anything. Didnt' even hurt. #monsterdon

He died as he lived: fucking over his tenants. #monsterdon

And now we have fart jokes? #monsterdon

I get Sarah Connor vibes from the telephone company lady. #monsterdon

This is the stupidest plot. Landlord turns the power out for... no reason. Then they're all trapped in the building--that has no fire escapes--and they simultaneously have no lights, but plenty of light from candles everywhere. and now we have to go up into an attic for no reason #monsterdon

How are they watching TV? He. Cut. The. Power. (like a dumbass) #monsterdon

Did you use a flashlight to find that flare and light it when the lights went out? #monsterdon

This critter could just stop biting the mop. #monsterdon

What the heck hat is this? Is he headed off to a civil war reenactment? #monsterdon

FINGAH! #Monsterdon #critt3rs

ON one hand, Frankie is a shitbird. On the other hand, I"m pretty sure he's about to become hamburger. So it's all good in the end. #Monsterdon #critt3rs.

It would be OK if this asshole is the first to get eaten. #monsterdon

Ok, so fat shaming. But then this is how she reacts? #monsterdon

Hey there's some ...um.... #Monsterdon

oh goddammit it jolly green giant's been pleasuring himself with our pickup truck. AGAIN. #Monsterdon #critt3rs
