You can never just move on from this, even after he's gone. Without punishment and ostracism for everyone who has participated in his crime spree over the last 18 months you can forget it- we're all just treading water until the next tyrant

Love riding the subway in midtown at 5:05 p.m. because you’re riding with the pros. Everybody keeps to the right, people on the platforms wait to the side of the train doors. A crowd that knew the rules in February 2020 and never forgot them. Hope these guys have a pleasant ride to Bensonhurst.

the food safety stuff is another reminder that a large, huge, gigantic part of being a republican is going “lmao why are we spending money to prevent horrifying disasters from happening if they never happen 🤪”

play the marseillaise, but not for me!

The fun thing about having a 4B-class model as a home AI is that it's really a lot like 20th-cen sci-fi stories featuring artificial intelligence: a little robotic, a little too literal, a little funny sometimes. The future we got is more futuristic than the future we hoped for.

Correct, and Republicans figured this out decades ago

The thing you need to understand is that there are 2 (TWO) different method for amending the constitution 1) The process laid out in the constititon itself (conventions, or 2/3's of both houses followed by 3/4 of states ratifying) OR 2) find five votes on the Supreme Court.

Paris air pollution is down 50% after its radical bike-friendly transformation Cars have been banned from more than 100 streets. Tens of thousands of parking spots have been eliminated. Hundreds of miles of bike lanes have been added. And air pollution is plummeting

You can tell all this cruelty has been worth it because since Trump's second term began, everything is more expensive and people are more miserable

Norm Charlatan@normcharlatan.bsky.social · 2mo ago

I am curious about the effect that almost everyone I know, even people who are doing relatively well, thinks they would be more successful economically if they sacrificed their ethical principles and just became a grifter of some sort.

at the risk of oversimplifying, i do not find it especially surprising that a full ten years into the era of donald trump dominating our politics, americans find ourselves angry, bitter, cynical and resentful no matter our material conditions.

"People have stopped believing that the economy can be good, and have lost the willingness to admit that they are doing well. That pessimism might be harder to fix than an actual downturn," @annielowrey.bsky.social argues.

Hello I am the president of a country whose economy depends on consumer spending. My two major initiatives so far have been a sales tax on everything and then a war that sent all prices skyrocketing

Happy Friday to you guys

If you apply this kind of logic to any number of bad things, bad corporations, bad governments, you'll end up living in the woods

Again this should inspire wall-to-wall media coverage for months. The crowning achievement of the Civil Rights Movement is dead. Black people just lost all of their remaining political power in the South. This is a monumental moment in American history that simply isn't being treated as such.

Breaking: Tennessee Republicans pass new 9-0 gerrymander after SCOTUS destruction of Voting Rights Act eliminating state’s only majority-Black district & last Democratic seat. Splits Memphis, which is 63% Black, into 3 districts to disenfranchise Black voters. Quite literally a return to Jim Crow

I'm playing around with Keyboard Maestro shortcuts to quickly launch and or focus on specific apps, using Option+Letter. Should be much snappier than constantly Alt-Tab'ing through open apps.

Trump to a group of kids: "We can't let Iran have a nuclear weapon. You might be too young for this. They probably know better than most people. But you can't let a bunch of lunatics have a nuclear weapon. So we just hit records on the Dow."

I've been playing around with Fedora Silverblue on a Thinkpad. I was shocked that the fingerprint reader, and "casting" music to my Homepods worked out of the box. (On the flip-side, I'm a disappointed that Gnome doesn't have some kind of clipboard history functionality built-in)
