If they were proud of what they were doing, they wouldn't be wearing masks.

Nasty isn't the same as tough. He's an entitled bully.

The Young, Inexperienced Engineers Aiding Elon Musk’s Government Takeover Engineers between 19 and 24, most linked to Musk’s companies, are playing a key role as he seizes control of federal infrastructure.

There's some fucking Bond villain stuff going on with Musk and his flunkies today. The media is not picking up on this, focusing on the Grammies and tariffs and the other distractions, while the criminals are compromising the core systems of our government. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Let the fascists break some things, and maybe the masses will wake up and oppose them. I'm not hopeful, though.

I just order new glasses online with the old prescription. Whether it's "current" or not seems like my decision, not theirs.

Trump can be bribed. Jeff Yass probably bought a few million dollars worth of $TRUMP coins.

Why Donald Trump is now a fan of TikTok and is inviting the app’s CEO to his inauguration One of TikTok's top investors is billionaire Jeff Yass, Pennsylvania's richest man and a GOP megadonor. There is no indication yet whether Yass will attend Trump's inauguration.

Trump has a large donor who has a large investment in Bytedance. No further explanation needed. www.inquirer.com/politics/nat...

Some of us can remember when a megabyte was a lot. I worked as a student operator on an IBM mainframe in the 70's that had 1.5 mb removable hard disk packs. The drives were about the size of washing machines, and the packs were like a mini spare tire with a handle for lifting them.

The Orion Nebula is one of the few deep-sky objects in which I could see even a hint of color with my 13" Dob. Astrophotography totally enhances everything vs. visual appearance.

We frequently get checked out by hummingbirds when hiking while wearing bright clothing. It's always a treat.

The "market cap" of Tether has soared by over $15 billion since the election, "stable" coins backed by nothing.

The price is constantly manipulated by the creation of Tether stablecoins out of thin air, which are then used to "buy" bitcoins. And then the media states that the "price" rises, and a new batch of suckers lose their savings in the Ponzi scheme.

You'd think the Republicans would CELEBRATE a guy who cheated on his taxes and illegally acquired a gun.

Pointing out hypocrisy in politicians never works for Democrats. Republican voters no longer care about duty, honor, or honesty.
