Europeans recognize Zohran Mamdani’s supposedly radical policies as ‘normal’ Critics of New York City’s mayor-elect have said his pledges of free bus service and universal childcare are unrealistic, but in Europe it’s a given

This perfectly encapsulates how I feel living in the US. The republican party is an insane death cult, the democratic party is 3 corporations in a trench coat, and the "socialists" are just the completely normal left-wing capitalists you'd find in any of 2 dozen European nations.

Brrrrt? (Cat activation sound)

I am so confused about how these are getting to me without showing a corresponding email in a mailbox. Is Gmail/GWorkspace disappearing the source message to be helpful? If so, why is it not in Trash?

(But yes it's complete insanity, thanks Microsoft)

This moron thinks a cognitive aptitude test is "hard?"

Proof he doesn't belong in office anymore, right there. (I think he never belonged in the first place, but that's neither here nor there)

I believe that they're not tracking & selling my location data like Google does. 🤷‍♂️

This argument seems counterproductive given your handle though. Anything but Fairphone is awful, right?

I still wish they had bought BeOS instead of or in addition to NeXT

Yeah, I'm not happy about that either. But it's not like any of the big tech companies *aren't* trying to appease him. At least Apple isn't monetizing me *as* heavily as competitors do 🤷‍♂️

Have you tried Apple Music? I know they actually have an Android app for it, pretty sure it works on Sonos and PS. Assume you'd need to use a browser for Linux though.

They pay artists better than Spotify, and aren't paying Joe Rogan... but it is still Apple

One of your strains has to be "Seven of Kind (Bud)"

Probably worth talking to both Linus and Rossman about getting them in on this (manufacturing is HARD at scale)

Hockey...

Cat sitting on the side of a bathtub wanting to be petted

Black & white "tuxedo" cat writhing around on top of paper packing material on a carpet floor

Pardon the filthy tub (we need a new tub mat), but this is the only time she wants to be petted, and it's mostly just to try to get you to play more...

She loves to have paper on the floor to hide in & pounce on.

Like, this cat easily gets an *hour or more* of play daily spread out over multiple shorter sessions. she has another cat (adopted with a male "buddy") but they seem to dislike each other (despite shelter calling them "bonded").

I just want her to get on the couch and be petted sometimes...

I don't have a lot of followers so I doubt
this will go far, but: we have an adopted shelter cat (they think 4-5 y.o.) that only wants to play. Constantly, regardless of how much she was just played with previously.

The only time she wants love is when you're on the toilet. 🤷‍♂️

How to improve‽

Can't decide whether I'm more annoyed at the fact that our democracy is being severely eroded, or that the people doing the eroding are such complete and utter tools.

Bold of the court to assume that all computers have a "pdf writer" printer.

There's definitely a better way to handle a fillable PDF than printing it back to PDF again... 🤦‍♂️

(And the current admin is corrupt and incompetent throughout, obvi)

I would refuse to do it if I was a construction person. Make the foreman do the first whack.

If you want actual quality leather bags, Saddleback is excellent... but they're pretty hardcore Christian, I assume with all the pointless hate that includes

y’all keep making fun of trump’s shitting video but it takes a strong man to admit that he’s reached the stage of life where he has no control of his bowels

Fantastic callback, thank you 🤣

He really is the sniveling little toad that Matt and Trey (South Park) are depicting him as

With apologies to The Proclaimers:

"I would run eight-point-one-miles, and-a I would write words on the map / Just to be the man / who ran a bunch of miles / to fail to get the job"

Not at all surprised although wasn't aware of that 🤣

(My earlier post was wholly sarcastic but I forgot the /s)

I can't believe they aren't pixelating his neck, won't someone think of the impressionable children??

Then, not than, stupid keyboard
