Screenshot of text: unfuck google drive by shooting gemini Hey folks! Google is fucking you via sneaky enshittification again! Want the shit in your google drive to load instantly again, instead of taking for-fucking-ever? Open your gdrive (web OR app) Settings > Manage Apps Gemini was checked "use as default" (and i sure the fuck didn't set it that way, this was a silent push) Nuke that, and suddenly, folders that took up to a minute to populate and sort do so in a fraction of a second.

When I worked in WaPo Opinions in 2017-2018, senior editors specifically told junior editors not to factcheck Marc Thiessen and other MAGA columnists, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to publish anything by them at all, and “we need them for intellectual diversity.”

Anger has spilled over in Tanzania 🇹🇿 on Friday as hundreds of protesters face off with police in the nation’s commercial capital, Dar es Salaam, on the third day of sustained protests. The protests have spread across the country, and the government has now been forced to postpone the reopening of colleges and universities, which had been set for next Monday. All public servants have been ordered to work from home to limit the movement of nonessential staff. Crowds in several big cities, including Dar es Salaam, the commercial capital, and Arusha, a tourist gateway, chanted for the army to take over the country, in what some describe as the biggest challenge to the ruling party since independence in 1961. When the protests broke out on Wednesday, President Samia Suluhu Hassan's government shut down the internet, imposed a curfew and deployed the military to the streets.

listened to Virginia Giuffre's ghost writer Amy Wallace on @democracynow.org and she spoke about how Andrew met Virginia and guessed her age right because he had a child of the same age. Hell is not enough for that man.

I've got plenty of op-eds, wiki pages, etc. but more reliable sources seem... difficult to nail down.
this was my intro to JLV and I still think about it (and that cover!)

But I have also wondered if there is a certain bias I don’t have a name for — like, his natural athleticism makes him read as an action star even when he is doing drama?? So (especially white out-of-touch) voters don’t see him as an actor?
Or it’s just the racism.
really good thread.
