Omg. The attacks would have been awful and abusive

There is still beauty in this world

Measles, mumps and rubella like this post.

They covered up with brown paper the photos of Women in American Cryptology—members of the Hall of Honor like Elisabeth Friedman and Ann Caracristi—and People of Color in Cryptologic History honorees—like Wash Wong and Ralph Adams. All in response to President Trump’s anti-diversity order. /2

Fellow NSA - National Security Agency veterans. Look at what’s happened at the National Cryptologic Museum up at NSA. /1

It just feels like nobody in his inner circle dares to tell him that a tariff isn't a tax on the other country.

If nothing else, I suspect it'll get #Colombia a quicker entry into #BRICS - With Brazil and Vietnam already in there, that would be the top 3 coffee producers in the world.

A screenshot of https://tradingeconomics.com/commodity/coffee showing prices going from 190 to 346 USD/Lb in this last year.

#Brazil and #Vietnam are in #BRICS, they are #1 and #2 behind #Colombia for #coffee production.

Colombia grows Arabica, the price is already nuts because of a bad world crop. An additional 25% to 50% tariff on Colombian imports is insane and it will only hurt Americans.

2025: 😑

John Roberts is very upset that the public has lost confidence in John Roberts and the institution John Roberts leads following a series of confidence-cratering actions by John Roberts and his colleagues, and therefore would like everyone to know that this is not John Roberts' fault, it's yours.

A screenshot of Grok drawing 4 very bad photos of 4 different people of different races with broken 2025 signs behind them. The next 4 photos are the ones it created.

This is not me, and why do I have a huge 2 on my crotch?

This is not me, and it is the year 1205.

This is also not me.

I got a notification from #Twitter saying that their #AI, #Grok had a special #NewYear gift for me.

The gift was that it would draw New Year's pictures of me, and I think it exactly the sort of job I'd expect from an #Elon #robot.

A social distancing cheat chart:

Elon Musk gives the middle finger to the majority of MAGA.

🤣

I am a little confused why #MAGA are whining about being banned from #Twitter by #Musk - Shouldn't they all be using #TruthSocial anyway?

Thanks for that.

I spent a few hours today working out how to turn my Stella Lumens into real money and have finally cashed in the #free #crypto I got from #Keybase many years ago.

And so - Here's a free advert:

Hey everyone, use Keybase. It works sometimes (probably, I think?) and it once gave out free money.

This is the kind of lawfare they’ve been waging for years. Believe me, I know.

Cassidy Hutchinson is one of the many people on Trash Patel's hit list.

Her "crime"?

She testified before the j6 committee. She was pressured by Trump's camp to downplay what she knew. She did not.

This is one of the many reasons Trash Patel cannot have any role in law enforcement.

I, like many of you, have been contemplating our predicament since election night.

We are in a losing war for our democracy and I'm not sure we collectively know who our true adversary is.

It's not the voting blocks...white women, Latinos, Gen X. It's not MAGA. It's not even Trump.

California teacher dies from rabies month after being bitten by bat in her classroom Leah Seneng, 61, carried the winged mammal out of her classroom and released it, not knowing she had been bitten and fatally infected.

This is terribly sad. Rabies is preventable but not curable (it essentially has a 100% death rate). Don’t take chances.

Day 6 of #ChemAdvent24:

~400 compounds are found in raw ginger, including gingerol—a relative of capsaicin (chillies) & piperine (peppers)—which activates spice/heat receptors on the tongue. When dried, gingerol forms the more pungent shogaol, and when cooked it forms less pungent zingerone

As a European looking in, American #politics seems to be an endless cycle of voting in the guilty-pleasure white male power leader who makes them feel good. Realising the economy is broken so voting in someone sensible for a term or two. Then going back to another generic hateful snakeoil salesman.
