Recently tore down my wife's Cricut Maker machine to replace the rubber rollers. A HUGE pain in the ass. That these rollers fail so easily & so quickly, & Cricut openly doesn't give a shit, provide parts--nothing. I'm not usually a "sue their asses" type, but this needs a class-action filing, badly.

Still relevant - likely always will be

I'm just now getting around to watching S01 of #PrimeTarget, and I guess I'm starting to lose interest. For something as critical as they make it out to be, I find it impossible the NSA would not throw all their $ at it. It would obviate the 3rd-party funding arm & blow up the entire storyline. Oof.

And his view on American Exceptionalism(tm) as the source of so much of what's wrong with the US is absolutely dead-on.

"If foxnews and twitter algorithms promoted the idea that breathing is actually super woke, we might actually get some improvements in America for once, from the collective shift in the average IQ"

Looks like the Tab Modifier extension is flagging as malware today all of a sudden, despite no apparent code changes in 7 mos.

Knowing Google these days, having solidly departed from their "do no evil" stance, they just wanna own another feature or take yet another bit of end-user control away. :\

If you're making or buying merch online that says shit like "Charlie Kirk's a hero", or "We are all Charlie Kirk" (so fucking gross), etc etc, fucking STOP IT. You're a fascist. He was a fascist. You are not good people. Educate yourselves. Be better. Fuck.

U.S. bill calls for more integration between Canadian, American border agents | CBC News The U.S. Congress is being asked to adopt legislation that could lead to Canada and the United States further integrating their enforcement of the border — including allowing U.S. officers to more fre...

Oh no. Oh hell no. "Bill could lead to U.S law enforcement operating more freely on Canadian soil." No no no. No. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

I was gonna make a game for halloween this year, but with things going the way they have been, I might as well be making one for the post-apocalypse afterparty

this is an explicitely nazi administration and anyone who still supports them should be viewed as such

And while the costs are (actually more than) doubling... where is this money going? It's not trickling down to the actual care providers--of which my wife is one.

Huge increases, and not a SINGLE DIME makes its way all the way down to the people doing the actual fucking work.

MAKE IT MAKE SENSE

We have health insurance through wife's employer.

It's renewal time. Her company is going with a new provider.

The premium increase? Roughly 100%. We'll be paying double next year.

But wait--that's for the MIDDLE TIER plan only. :/

And the irony: HER EMPLOYER IS A MASSIVE REGIONAL HEALTHCARE ORG

“10/7 was bad and everything that followed in aftermath was worse” is a perfectly moral and popular position. it’s more or less the American consensus on 9/11.

Meshnet stays Over the past month, many of you have spoken up about how much you value Meshnet, which made us take a hard look at our decision. Meshnet is not going anywhere.

Happy to see this rescued by concerned users, and the move to opensource it is, of course, awesome.

These are Nazi thugs, full stop.

This entire administration needs to go.

In my head, I hear MadTV's Stewart character saying "Look at what I can do!" lol

Best of luck tho, seriously. :)

It would cost like $35 to set up a webcam showing a live shot of Portland, where absolutely none of this is happening, that our media, if it had any dignity whatsoever, would immediately split screen to every time he starts saying this.

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

Community action works.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

I was meaning to respond to the Kash Patel “coin” being referenced a couple levels in on what you were laying down. Anyway, again, sorry about that.

Holy shit, that is my bad—-commented on the wrong requote! You are all good!

Massively embarrassing, I am sorry. :(

I will delete that immediately after I post this.

(and quotes...lots and lots of quotes)

I often use phrases/catchphrases from whatever thing I admire, w/ a few careful substitutions here & there in some letters or whole words & even punctuation to keep it more difficult. I don't really need to remember the whole thing, as I really already know it. Just need to recall my tweaks. HTH :)

Brilliant investigative journalism. Shedding light upon the truly murkey dealings of a group of anti Trans lobbyists cosying up to government departments & spreading misinformation with malice.

BREAKING:

A federal judge ORDERS an evidentiary hearing to determine whether Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been vindictively prosecuted.

Abrego’s lawyers carried their burden of demonstrating enough evidence to warrant it.

At some point, very soon, this shit is gonna HAVE to stop.

Fuck ICE, fuck Trump, and fuck every last person supporting ANY of this fascist bullshit.

This woman, and everyone else out there protesting and fighting this shit, are the real heroes, the real patriots.
