FYI, the process of switching from an iTunes-based subscription to Dropout web-based was a little painful (had a few minutes last night after the iTunes one ended before we could add the web one), but overall went pretty well.

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

It should be โ€œlastโ€ instead of โ€œnotโ€.

Iโ€™m seeing a worrying trend today where people are posting memes where the punchline is simply that someone (Trump, or Mike Johnson, etc) is gay, thatโ€™s it. The only way to interpret the meme as joke is to view homosexuality and homosexual acts as bad. Itโ€™s givingโ€ฆ โ€œpunching down downโ€.

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

Yeah, but Harris wasnโ€™t perfect. So, yโ€™know, both sides or whatever.

Moskowitz: We need $30 billion to extend, obviously, these healthcare subsidies, which allow Americansโ€”Americans, not illegalโ€”Americans, citizens, to afford healthcare.

And the presidentโ€™s like, โ€œWe donโ€™t have $30 billion, but I am going to send $40 billion to my dear friend in Argentina.โ€

Are you talking about the โ€œLIVE WEAPONS OVER FREEWAYโ€ sign? If so, it wasnโ€™t static, it flipped between that and a notice that I-5 was closed and when/where. This just explaining why.

Canโ€™t make it to the No Kings protest today, unfortunately. But Iโ€™m there in spirit. And by marriage (since my wife was able to make it). #NoKings #WeThePeople #Resist

We know. Weโ€™re trying. Itโ€™s hard when 1/3 of the countey are brainwashed and another 1/3 dont care enough to vote. California knows whatโ€™s up.

FACT CHECK: Prop 50 is temporary, proportional, and absolutely necessary.

It brings back the independent redistricting committee after the 2030 census and gives us the power we need NOW to stop Trumpโ€™s power grab.

Vote YES.

AI is good for tedious crap, not for anything innovative. It can write all my unit tests for the rest of my life.

Ah, you were agreeing. You said โ€œNopeโ€ and I thought you were rejecting the premise of the post (that being that poor people are not to blame). Thanks for the clarification!

One of the goals of society should be giving more free time to its people. Doing the opposite is a major red flag.

Nearly 1/3 of the people in this country are delusional, stupid, or both.

Description: part of a vacuum cleaner. Itโ€™s โ€œheadโ€ is a cylinder in two parts: top is purple with vents on the side and a black dot in the center - bottom is metallic-looking with a vertical switch that suggests a mouth. Under that is what looks like a frilly dress or fancy collar, also purple. Below that is the dust collection cylinder.

Context: Tom Servo (who looks basically like a gumball machine) is a robot from the show Mystery Science Theater 3000 (MST3K). And heโ€™s awesome.

Because this would have the side effect of actually wiping out the fascist scum really in charge (FSRIC) and unbrainwashing so many people I give them this idea free of charge, and will sign an NDA.
