Oh, so this is why the Department of Labor decided to deploy the term bizarre term "Americanism" in its winking neo-Nazi post today

Around 70% of the U.S. economy depends on consumer spending. As wealth concentrates in the richest 10%, the rest of America can’t afford to buy enough to keep the economy running. This is a huge problem — and even America’s most powerful CEOs are starting to sound the alarm.

@padresj.bsky.social My home internet just went out... Mobile still works, but I feel like I'm stranded on a snowy island in Pennsylvania. So, uhhh... What's your preferred method of ripping DVD and Blu-ray? ISO? MKV? Preferred application(s) for ripping and playback?

Repost this everywhere you’re active on social media. Send to your friends and family who aren’t.

I'm glad I don't know who Peggy Siegal is, but DAMN does she say some racist stuff in those Epstein emails. She spells like a proud product of inbreeding, too. Just search for the word "Avator." journaliststudio.google.com/pinpoint/sea...

the mRNA vaccines are an absolute miracle of science that saved millions of lives and we're going to throw the entire technology out because they could not vaccinate society against putting the worst and most ignorant people alive in charge of our medical system

tl:dr Trump Admin: "He's a terrorist! He leads MS-13! He has committed unspeakable crimes! He is a danger to the national security of the US and must be punished!" Courts: "Wow... ok. Show us the evidence and we'll expedite." Trump Admin: "... uh... never mind." apnews.com/article/ms13...

Bat shit insane if you know this industry.

OMG. I was wondering that as the tariff numbers made no sense, but this is even dumber than I thought. I mean, this is "fail your econ 101 class and have to go meet with the professor" bad.

Tank markets, rich buy cheap stocks, Americans suffer, ultra wealthy are fine. When will you realize you're not like him?

We simply had to intentionally destroy the world’s strongest economy while dismantling our scientific and educational infrastructure to ensure that a team with a trans girl would never finish second place in the Mountain West volleyball standings again

@frame.work okay, but hear me out... 12 inch laptop... with a numberpad. Ignore the fact that I am not a graphic artist. lol

It's simple: Discussions about trans youth's health care belong between them, their families, and their doctors. Not the government.

I don't wanna tell ya what to do, @aclu.org, but I recommend a MyDogeDividendPledge.org or something similar to encourage people to give some or all of their supposed upcoming "Doge Dividend" to you. You're welcome for that one.

So I'm trying to tick some checkboxes on some internal software and looking everywhere for a downloadable "clickjack" vulnerability tester and keep just finding websites for testing other websites. It finally occurs to me there's just a simple Firefox plugin to do what I need! Hooray!

The whole point of all these EOs at once is to overwhelm us. Have a few issues that you’re expert at/really care a lot about? Great! It’s likely better to stick to trying to make a difference in those rather than spreading yourself so thin that you can do much about anything. 1/2

WTF "graduated from high school in 2024, according to a mirrored copy of an online résumé and his high school’s student magazine; he lists jobs as a camp counselor and a bicycle mechanic among his professional experiences, as well as a summer role at Neuralink..."

Could ya'll go ahead and draft up a how to guide?

NEW: The Trump administration has instructed federal health agencies to pause all external communications, such as health advisories, weekly scientific reports, updates to websites, social media posts, according to officials and others familiar. Our story. wapo.st/4aqfN44

They could've talked about chromosomes, but instead they talked about production of Egg vs. Sperm *at conception.* Since there is no possible way that a Y chromosome can activate the SOX9 gene that early, by the official White House definition, we're all female now! Glad that's settled.

Here's the J6 pardon / commutation order, which deserves enduring infamy. The thugs who broke cops' skulls, the creeps who used bear spray against the Republic's defenders, above all the organizers who planned and executed it all -- they're all walking free because they did it for Trump.

Republican Rep. Mike Waltz, who called TikTok "CCP spyware" last year, now - as Trump’s pick for national security adviser - says it's a "great platform that many Americans use and has been great for [Trump's] campaign"

Don't drag your feet next time the fate of millions rests in the balance. If I have to say "I told you so" in the next four years over anything more than grocery prices and tarrifs, I'm gonna lose it.

Has your boss ever made you slap yourself 100 times and record it? Then got mad at you because you sent them the video evidence before they asked you to send it? This is heartbreaking testimony from people who worked in a cult-like environment. It's a lengthy video, but an important one.

If you don't like it when you're proven wrong, don't be provably wrong.

I don't know when ntp.org STARTED their fundraiser, but presumably at the beginning of the year? It says their "2024 goal" was $18,000 and they've earned $605. Ouch. Donate to your favorite NPO to keep it alive. ntp.org, archive.org, eff.org, wikipedia.org Relevant XKCD, 2347: xkcd.com/2347/

I feel like the official apt repository for the Edge Browser is still not very fast. But I guess I can understand not putting it on a very fast server, because the volume of Linux users who still spell Microsoft with a dollar sign doesn't justify the investment.

Some people think AI is going to take over the world. It still doesn't know how many fingers a human being should have. We're gonna be fine.

Bluesky is fine. I like Threads more. I still use Mastodon the most. I FORGOT Hive was even a thing. It's been a weird year.
