I am literally bitching about that RIGHT NOW to a Linux guy I know. I don't NEED animations! I need something that WORKS! The HELL.

But it's the LEFT that's the problem, that's pushing domestic terrorism! Trump said so!

*sigh* I hate this timeline, where facts and data are ignored or even denigrated when they're inconvenient.

Got a new PC that came with Windows 11. Ok, cool. Ran it. Hated it. Turned off those irritating widgets, blocked the telemetry and ads, tweaked the UI. My experience improved. Still not where I want it to be, but if you're hating Win 11 this could help you hate it less. #windows11

I can kind of see why they're pushing this so hard. The military has long been the first place many folks encounter others from different places, races, classes, etc. If your entire political platform is based on divisiveness, the military's "we don't care as long as you can do the job" has to go.

The cognitive dissonance between what's written in the Bible and how evangelicals tend to practice what's written in the Bible has always baffled me, even as a child. MAGA just turned that "huh? what?" dial all the way up to eleven.

I don't know what's more baffling/upsetting - the brazen lies the administration spouts, the parroting/amplification of those lies by the media, or the instant acceptance of those lies by their supporters. Actual facts have no relevance to any of it. When did delusions become status quo?

Health care coverage would require literally a quarter of their income. No one can afford that. So instead they'd lose coverage, get sick, go into massive debt, lose their house, and pay extortionate rent to a conglomerate until they die broke.

This whole administration thinks this is how you govern???

It would be sad if it wasn't so dangerous.

I MEAN. Flying for HOURS on little notice to listen to some drunk asshole with delusions of grandeur prattle about his Call of Duty fever-dream of what he thinks your job is, and then being forced to listen to ANOTHER asshole blather incoherently too.

THIS COULD HAVE BEEN AN EMAIL.

The "Let them eat cake!" vibes here are just too much. And the French RESPONSE to that seems more and more relevant these days.

As someone who's aro/ace I found most of the Stardew Valley heart events extremely cringy. Let's hear it for a shadow monster roommate! Much more my speed. And while I don't know if aro/ace rep was the goal with Krobus I appreciate it anyway. #aroace #cozygame #stardewvalley #krobus

I have fallen into Stardew Valley. It's become a special interest! I'm hyperfocusing like crazy on it, having ridiculous amounts of fun, and I'm already planning my next farm. I'm so glad my brain decided to fixate on something that will NEVER END. #stardewvalley #cozygame #gaming #hyperfocus

The few clips I've now seen of Kirk "performing" are all just like this...

Putin came to power on New Year's night (1999-2000). Who does he go after first? Comedians. A puppet show (Kukly) had a Putin character with a big rubbery nose & stern KGB eyes. He hated it. Suddenly that shut down. And then the Network was shut down.

Hey America,

after the excerpts I saw from the inappropriate event to honor Charlie Kirk, I can only say that Sinclair Lewis was right . . .

You know, playing with porcelain dolls is one of the few hobbies creepy enough to suit Stephen Miller. I could see it.

For Americans, when the official gaslighting makes us question our own eyes, it can be helpful to get takes from outside the US. And yeah, what we hear from the right really is blatantly contrary to reality. And every day the right's making it harder to hear the people on the left.

One of my very favorite podcast duos on the fallout from Charlie Kirk shooter's identity being known.

Sure. Absolutely an option. We don't know yet what was behind this. It'll be interesting to see how it shakes out, though.

Epstein's birthday book came out yesterday.

Today MAGA's talking about Charlie Kirk. The book isn't getting much play at all.

I find that timing suspicious.

Good breakdown about how South Korea is interpreting that STUPID raid in Georgia, and the massive harm this is doing to the US's international relationships and reputation. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EvV...

There's so much to mock here.

Seriously, men, we get it. You can't win when you compete with women on a level playing field and you're too childish to lose gracefully. You have to either be better, be an adult, or prohibit women from competing in the first place.

Guess option 3's your choice.
