I haven't used Linux on the desktop since employers started providing Macs. Had yet another IntelliJ crap-out session which was so horked up that even deleting all the project settings and user settings. Instead of reformatting the Mac I tried Linux in a VM. Holy crap. I missed it.

Post from President Trump on Truth Social:

Six people were killed, and 24 people were shot, in Chicago last weekend, and JB Pritzker, the weak and pathetic Governor of Illinois, just said that he doesn’t need help in preventing crime. He is CRAZY!!! He better straighten it out, FAST, or we’re coming! MAGA. President DJT

Why don’t you send everyone proof of life first?

(Either way, Chicago doesn’t want you here)

Ukrainian artist Nikita Titov (b.1973, Yihvi, Estonia) turns resistance into art - bold graphics illustrating war.

Since 2014, his stark political posters have confronted Russia’s war on Ukraine with bold lines & uncompromising truth.

Working the front of house while most of the brewery staff is at CBC. Turned on the music then turn on the TV with no sound. I almost turned on the MST3K channel but figured that without sound, that’s just bad movies. Went for the Hitchcock channel instead.

Today, supporters of Judge Hannah Dugan raised their voices in protest at the local FBI headquarters. The arrest of Judge Dugan, at the behest of FBI Director, Kash Patel and Attorney General, Pam Bondi, is yet another attack on the judiciary by this administration. Only fascists arrest judges.

I wonder if it’s occurred to the maggots doing the fascists’ bidding that it’s highly possible that Trump won’t be around to pardon them if he dies while still i office.

I don't really care what the "political consequences" are of fighting for the proposition that *everyone* is entitled to due process before they are removed from the United States and sent to a Salvadoran prison.

It's not really a principle if you only adhere to it when it's politically expedient.

β€œAsked about the Abrego GarcΓ­a case yesterday, California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D), another 2028 presidential prospect, called it a β€œdistraction” and shifted focus back to the lawsuit he was announcing against the administration’s trade policies.

β€œIt’s exactly the debate they want,” Newsom told reporters. β€œBecause they don’t want this debate on the tariffs. They don’t want to be accountable to markets today.””
