The next part of the plan to steal the midterms and/or the 2028 election - an attempt to do a mid-decade census to take seats and electoral votes away from blue states. I knew this was coming.

Like racist father, like racist son...

I have too much drop!

When a network lays off one of America’s greatest satirists, it’s not because he failed. It’s because he succeeded too loudly.

Opinion | We Know Exactly Where the Supreme Court’s Change of Heart Has Come From

The Supreme Court “is laying the groundwork for the exercise of arbitrary power, unaccountable save for the next election — an American-style presidential dictatorship.”

A bar graph. On the left side is a bar showing that Republicans are cutting $930 billion from Medicaid. On the right side is a bar showing that Republicans are giving $910 billion in tax breaks to corporations under their budget bill, paid for by gutting Medicaid.

Republicans may lie about what's in their budget bill but the numbers sure don't.

Picture of poop bingo board game(?)

I have never understood why the Dutch ..have a thing with this topic....

Meredith has always been a G, but it's still exceptionally weird and very refreshing hearing from a tech exec who can see through all of this AI bullshit for what it is at its foundation: a backdoor surveillance tool.

It’s worth thinking about how this kind of story would be reported if it had happened in, say, Kenya

I thought this was a spoof but amazingly it seems to be real.

Rutte’s in a difficult spot, trying to hold together an alliance whose biggest member wants to leave. But still, this is absolutely craven. Surprised he didn’t add “and would you like me to swallow, sir?” at the end

I forgot to try it when I was in Scotland a year or two ago so I recently bought some IRN BRU at the expat store to try it.

amongussexgif ... Instead of being in settings its in the google app. Also, google, not chrome. Icon is a G, not the circle thing. Click on your pfp to open a menu From there, go Settings > Gemini > Digital Assistants > Switch to Google Assistant. This disables Gemini, google's Al assistant, and switches you back to the old one. We aren't done yet. Go back to Settings. From there, we go Settings > Google Assistant > scroll to find General > Google Assitant on/off > turn it off They really tried their best to make it a pain, but you can eventually disable it. Holding the power button on your phone still pulls up a menu and asks you to turn it back on, but this is the least intrusive you can make it. Applies to all non-apple phones afaik. For sure Samsungs and Pixels but idrk about others Edit: thank you my friend @/teeth-kid for confirming that this also works on Motorola

Here's how you remove Google AI from your mobile devices.

DNS4EU is surveilled In case there was any doubt: DNS4EU is filtered and surveilled That was the plan all along In a distributed system like DNS, there is no means to enforce censorship without enforcing centralisation…

ICE officials require adequate time to dispose of bodies, disappear troublesome detainees, simulate marginally adequate conditions, put on shirts without visible burrito stains, etc.

Wild how the Fed chair saying that *entire regions of the United States* won’t be able to get a mortgage in the next decade barely registered as a news event

I really loved Danse Macabre too ..but I felt it was too short.

D66 Amsterdam: "Don't scapegoat internationals – include them" - DutchNews.nl Amsterdam should avoid “scapegoating” highly-skilled migrants for the national housing crisis and instead focus on including them in the democratic debate, according to local politicians. The D66 liberal democratic party is concerned social issues like a lack of housing and an increase in small households are being unfairly blamed on immigrants. Erik Schmit, D66 local councillor and a business lecturer at the University of Applied Sciences Europe in Amsterdam, said challenges to affordable housing and social cohesion should not be...

Interesting overview of the "internationals problem" supposedly impacting the Netherlands, especially Amsterdam...and how completely overblown the whole thing has become.

Really Cool how nobody wanted to take this shit seriously

I was told that the eating of the PM isn't quite right from my neighbor (that you've met before) so I can't wait to hear his story at some point.

I have completely been disengaged and turned off from it. I could only tell you who the Dutch entry is because of the local news... and have only heard that song due to music playing in stores. Just so sad. 2/2

I would normally spend this time of the year basking in all things Eurovision but last year totally broke me with the drama around Joost. The idea that the Dutch song was so full of unity and yet how it all fell out..the disqualification was unjustified (imho). 1/2

There is a hero hacking the crosswalk buttons in Silicon Valley 🤣💀

I thought these were so cute...but wondered why it wasn't a bunny.. Did you see the pizzabodem bunny?

Not only that but if the police choose not to enforce the ban (like has happened in the past in some towns) then this means nothing

I get the argument you're making - but I think they can lessen the dependence a lot more than what exists. There's already a large amount of users using android phones, laptops (with linux).. I think one of the largest issues is going to be networking gear and cloud services.

My favorite question to ask in order to learn this is “if you were in my shoes, how would you, as a new hire, go about being impactful at the company?”

It’s a great question because it’s disarming and the honest + politically safe answer is still informative. Plus they might not even know!

What do you mean one of the top professors on fascism has FLED THE UNITED STATES?!?!?

If this were a movie, critics would say the foreshadowing is too obvious
