I have a Pioneer CT-M5R - 6 Cassette Changer...haven't plugged it in for 20 years or more...

One of our vendors we use at work has started charging a "tariff surcharge" beginning in December to "recover costs from the US Government's tariff policies." There you have it, most don't actually say it, but "we" pay for the tariffs that Trump claims are bring in billions...

The Liar-in-Chief just claimed that 300 million people died in the US because of drugs last year. The US population is about 340 million. Shucks - I thought I just had a bad cold.

Virtually all of the major MAGA accounts on X are saying "this was caused by the violent left's rhetoric!" while AT THE SAME TIME calling for "revenge" and "civil war". The disconnect is mind-boggling.

Ah, a fresh snowfall, where every jackass with a pickup, plow, and a flashing yellow light thinks they have emergency powers to back into the street without looking. Keep an eye on 'em!

I hope Peacemaker season 2 is canon. ;)

More like the old Twitter here with suggestions based on your prefs. It recommended Technology Connections to me which was a no-brainer "follow". Takei too, I think.

So, here's your "tech genius" not even using basic commands correctly...and 127.0.0.1 is basically referring to yourself, so I don't know what is going on there...
Anyone remotely familiar with Linux and the command line would know the correct syntax.
