THIS IS INSANE: This isn’t just Trump having another tantrum. He’s systematically trying to convince millions that the free press is the enemy.

That journalists are subhuman. That facts don’t matter. This is how authoritarians set the stage for violence—first the words, then the blood.

BREAKING: Trump’s DOJ just raided a Democratic member of Congress’s office and snatched a staffer — no warrant, no explanation, just pure authoritarian flex.

This is what regime collapse looks like.

The heartbreaking statement from Jonathan Joss’s husband about his death.

A two-panel Drake Linux/Unix BASH CLI meme. The top panel shows Drake looking displeased and turning away, with the text "Fixing my typos when writing bash commands." The bottom panel shows Drake looking pleased and gesturing approvingly, with the text "Defining aliases so my typos translate to the actual commands."

About half of my Linux or Unix bash aliases are just like that.. www.cyberciti.biz/tips/bash-al... 😂

Adobe to automatically move subscribers to pricier, AI-focused tier in June Monthly fees for multi-app subscribers to rise by up to 16.7 percent.

Nothing sadder than a tough guy who needs to remind you he's tough, right after admitting to shielding Russia.

“Take a screenshot every few seconds” legitimately sounds like a suggestion from a low-parameter LLM that was given a prompt like “How do I add an arbitrary AI feature to my operating system as quickly as possible in order to make investors happy?” — but more sophisticated threats are on the horizon.

my offer to america: we bring woke back

We often look back on the seminal moments in our history and wonder "What would I have done?"

This is our moment. This is our time.

We must stand up. We must speak out. We must do everything we can to stop a President who has every intention of destroying our democracy.

folks come on I didn’t mean to really do it

If the question is "how is this allowed?" or "how is this legal?" the answer will always be found by remembering laws aren't self executing and someone has to enforce them.

Laws aren't magic, and laws by themselves prevent nothing. If a law is not enforced, it's just words on paper.

Think part of the problem with describing Trump seriously is that no one actually seems to actually ever take his entire ideological outlook seriously, so absurdist means tend be be more effective at evoking political affect

I'm watching CNBC. These anchors are so angry. They really didn't believe he'd do it. They're actually just now, 10 years into this shit, realizing he's a maniac hellbent on revenge and there's no grand plan for the markets. Better late than never but holy shit.

My oven is a pretty standard thing but it has this feature called "rapid preheat" where it will run both the broil and the bake elements together until it's within 50° of your target.

This feature is approximately 700X more useful and interesting than having it connected to the internet.

At one of his frequent press conferences (because he loves being on TV), I'd love it if some reporter piped up with, "What do you say to people who call you a know-nothing narcissistic asshole, Mr. President?"

The Chrome logo is a stylized fidget spinner. The colors represent the four stages of internet addiction: curiosity (blue), obsession (red), denial (yellow), and acceptance (green).

Give it a rest, dude. Sheesh.

If Trumpty-Dumpty is working with the Russians to screw up America, he's doing a great job. Eggs, $11 a dozen. Health & Human Services down the dumper, ditto VA. If you call Social Security, they tell you to call back later. Guys 'n gals, this is more fucked up than Peter O'Toole on his birthday.

Just noticed my typo. 🥲 I wish one could edit their own posts and comments.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

The first rule of Trumpism is to never apologize or admit wrongdoing. That’s why he’s not firing anyone or even entertaining the idea anybody around him did something wrong.

As more information is revealed, it is clear that the cover-up is even worse than the crime.

Every single person involved has no business being involved in our government.

At minimum, there should be resignations. And prosecutions.
