Desert air is dry which ends up being better (moisture corrodes electronics)

Chronological order, or release order? 😁

The existence of Al Stewart implies the existence of Martha Yankovic

The ruling mentions that the Trump admin completely stopped processing any asylum claims at all, so the ruling is somewhat moot for now.

There are no good faith actors in the white house. Surely you’re not suggesting that “oh shoot they accidentally overlooked this one thing”

I think we could fill the time talking about tabs vs spaces and if necessary we could venture into legit uses of ‘goto’

This take ignores how many people are influenced by ads, media, etc.

I just handed myself a candy bar in exchange for $45b in imaginary candy bar credits but nobody wants to report on that

err ...why? Are we alleging that Russia has some ability to intercept and view end-to-end encrypted communications?

I think this is going to be true of any "dangerously competent" person. If we stick to people that right wing media doesn't cause a big stir about, that's just letting them choose the candidate. I agree it's a hard battle due to how many people are captivated by what the media says.

I can't get past the paywall, but if you are exchanging information over the internet, we already don't trust our ISPs, and we don't really need to rely on them for any kind of encryption. You use encryption between endpoints, the connecting tunnel doesn't matter.

If it’s “deeply” flawed, then tell the people writing it to change it? IDK sounds pretty simple and would avoid a shutdown.

"Only one of the 10 Trump voters-turned-critics said they'd choose Kamala Harris for president if they could do it over."

Lol.

It's infuriating that the "we need to repeal Section 230 so we can sue Meta and Elon Musk" never ask themselves what a lawsuit would do to Meta or a half-trillionaire vs an individual running a forum or Mastodon instance using the $50 left over from their paycheck.
