Me after getting my new cochlear devices finally programmed today after a 9 month battle with health insurance.

Worth noting, that at the time this incident happened on Jan 6, 2021, Trump was still President. This was his supporter calling for the murder of police officers. Convicted for making threats, pardoned by Trump, and now works for the DoJ. The hypocrisy of this Trump regime is Orwellian.

Just a reminder that the promises Elon Musk makes regarding costs/prices on virtually any of the technology produced by his companies are never kept.

Baghdad Bob energy here.

This is a breathtakingly idiotic claim on the harmful effects carbon dioxide has on the environment.

Hey, Siri, define “tool”: “The word tool is a common slang among teens nowadays, and it could describe someone lacking the ability to realize they’re just being used. It can also mean someone’s a fool with low smarts or self-esteem. The most closely related word adults would use is “idiot.” Righto

This should be a bigger story. The Trump DoJ attempted and failed to indict 6 sitting members of Congress for their political speech.

Incompetence? No way. 🧐🤨🙄

“If you’re having issues paying rent, chances are you’re having a hard time feeding yourself. Housing is connected to food security, health, and economic security. It’s a health emergency that’s 100% driven by inequality.” thephilanthropist.ca/2026/02/on-t... thephilanthropist.ca/2026/02/on-t...

It’s literally required by the US Constitution to have judicial warrants to make arrests and conduct searches.

I didn’t know Romulans were allowed to run for Congress. Has anyone checked her alien registration paperwork?

Breaking: Donald Trump possible suspect in disappearance of Savannah Guthrie1 What? You think this is callous? Trump’s regime lies like this every single day.

Has Trump evacuated the American Embassy in Cuba yet? apple.news/ADrNjKk8tSue...

What is really going on here is a tacit admission from Elon Musk that the Starship launch system does not have the capabilities or low costs he once promoted. After 11 test flights with 7 launch failures over 3 years, Starship has still not made a full orbit of Earth yet.

I gave up on Berger more than a decade ago. He clearly had lost any shred of objectivity and was basically a propagandist for SpaceX.

Why the fuck didn’t they go with claymation?! Would have been a hilarious SNL riff. But no. Had to do some creepy ass Ai shit.

It’s been over 4 years since the Fall of Twitter. Since the X Empire. Where is Charles, Meg, and Calvin when we need them? Someone activate the Tesseract. Calling Ms Whatsit, Mrs Who, and Mrs Which. We have Xs to cross out.

Hear that? That’s the sound of a million Musk Bros crying out in anguish over the betrayal of their Overlord.

Narrator: In fact, this video had nothing to do with election integrity.

And that is the whole point of the SAVE Act is to suppress votes, particularly among women who as demographic tend to favor Democrats.

Bezos killed his own paper to please an illiterate clown

When the leopard eats his face, I will not mourn.

Just submitted my short review of The Forever War by Joe Haldeman and let’s just say there is no glow. Not even a spark. I am left wondering how this book won a Nebula Award and Hugo Award in 1975 and 1976 respectively.

Ossoff: We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. It’s the wealthiest Cabinet ever. This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate.

Today, construction on the nation’s largest infrastructure project came to a halt - with hundreds laid off - because Donald Trump is out of control. The good news: political pressure still works, and we can use our voices to make sure he doesn’t have the last word.

Friday night news dump: Trump just opened a marine national monument to commercial fishing. Environmentalists worry that fishing in the area could damage sensitive ecosystems and habitats for endangered whales and other species. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/06/c...

And this exactly highlights the problem with Ai. That these so-called programs like ChatGPT or Grok aren’t in any sense sentient. They just sophisticated program with complex layers of code. 1/6

Let’s hope that this backlash helps to convince Trump that attempting arrest President Obama would be a monumental mistake.

The Washington Post just laid off its entire award-winning photo team. They were our eyes in places we'll never see. It's a horrifying loss at a time when lying governments, propaganda and AI slop are on the rise.

A gazelle? Gazelle? Did he just compare a woman to a gazelle? Maybe Dr Oz should host a show called Bad Pickup Lines that features him trying to pickup women at a bar because 30 minutes of watching him get his face slapped raw would be hilarious.

Bondi admitting she and Gabbard are intimate partners. 2026 is going to be lit! #BingoCard2026

I have to admit that Pam Bondi and Tulsi Gabbard dating was not something I had on my bingo card for 2026. They do make a cute couple. www.facebook.com/share/v/1ANQ...

I swear I can see the strings attached to Bessent’s body.

SHUT IT DOWN!!

I have read many of Asimov’s books, many of them in my teen years. And I did not know about this side of Asimov. But despite my large sci/fi book collection, I never attended any sci/conventions. I have never been to a Comic Con either.

Yet, he has not been charged with any other crime beyond making violent threats. And simply making violent threats is not a crime if there is no evidence of actual intent or planning.

Or as Kelly Conway once called them, “alternate facts.”

This attitude that this is all just BS being put out by Steve Bannon is very dangerous. We have just witnessed unprecedented abuses of power from Trump administration over the last year. Minimizing what is happening at this moment is irresponsible.

In the last several months we have watched 2 different billionaires buy out and destroy credible news agencies. It’s time consider a national wealth tax that limits the ability of any wealthy person to do endanger the independent press.

This is the Democratic mayor of my hometown promoting a nation whose economy Trump just bailed out to $40 billion while Argentina was selling soybean to China undercutting the US market. I just don’t think Mayor Lucas should be this excited. Idk. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Reason #1,157,241 why I moved from Missouri. Missourians keep voting for posturing idiots like Schmitt. Meanwhile, Missouri economy continues to decline, along with education, and health. More than 2 decades of Republican policies in Missouri have lead to measurable decline in quality of life there.

This is what those staunch loyalists to Signal don’t seem to understand. State actors don’t have to decrypt Signal to read messages on the app, they simply have to gain access to their smart phones. Your communications are only as safe as the device you are using.

What happens when you go full fascist.

Kudos to Illinois and California.

But the real alarm is that Republicans are laying the groundwork to do exactly that to “nationalize elections” despite the Constitution’s clear prohibition on federal control of elections. Even under the Voting Rights Act, states still maintained control of the elections.

Researchers mimicked the air-trapping tricks of diving bell spiders to create aluminum that stays afloat—even when punctured

The problem is that what is happening is largely unprecedented in American history. A federal government willing to commit illegal actions violating people’s constitutional rights, ignore/defy court orders, send military troops into US cities without cause. Hard to imagine what a solution would be.
