Downloading large or many files from OneDrive's web interface is pretty bad. Its downloads terminate before they complete, or it creates invalid zip bundles, or individual files in the zip bundles are replaced with a "__myfile_Error.txt" file.

CPB is shutting down, following Congress' vote to exclude funding for it from the budget.

This is a huge loss for America and will greatly harm our ability to get truthful, accurate information.

A month or so ago it really hit me that as a Gen Xer, the best case scenario is we spend the rest of my life cleaning up the mess that this group of fucking criminals has created. That's literally as good as it's going to get.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Smoke detector prices are insane. $60+ per unit!

It was an easy fix with some basic tools, new food-safe grease, and video guides online!

It's incredible that neither the president nor VP was here. The politicization of all facets of American life is coming from the White House. No other American president would have failed to pay their respects. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

That’s a tough question. Resisting masked armed thugs in any circumstance can get you beaten or killed by the armed thugs. If the masked armed thugs are agents of the U.S. government it will also get you prosecuted for “assault on a federal officer” or “resisting arrest.”

Saturday's military parade is going to be so lame and embarrassing. A shameful waste of money.

For all you fancy boys and girls who say
'fracture' instead of 'break'
'larceny' instead of 'theft'
'interrogate' instead of 'ask'

You can thank the Battle of Hastings (1066).
