I can't be the only one who's done a double-take when `npm run dev` prints a `[nodemon]` message in the terminal. I was like, "No demon? That's exactly what a demon would say. Not today, Satan!"

I never, ever want to hear a single Republican complaining about "fraud, waste, and abuse" EVER again.

Sec. Kennedy on measles deaths in Pennsylvania: “We're doing a better job than any country in the world at controlling the measles outbreak. This is a worldwide epidemic, and it's happening because of the lockdowns, because many kids did not get vaccinated during the lockdowns.”

"Vader is always a servant of the Empire, right? So [Flock] is nothing but tools for the servants of the Empire." Anthony Ralphs, the man behind the viral Darth Vader anti-Flock speech, tells 404 Media how he came up with the idea. Our interview here: www.404media.co/darth-vader-...

"I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby...)" On Aug 25, 1991, a 21-year-old student shared his side project to a Usenet newsgroup. 35 years later, Linux powers the global cloud, space exploration, and billions of devices. Happy 35th Birthday, Linux! 🐧✨ bit.ly/4gkst16 #Linux35

Some of the usual sarcastic one-liners for this kind of thing: - "Don't threaten me with a good time." - "Joke's on you, I'm into that shit." - "Oh no, what EVER shall we do?"

it's always odd when "you should expose yourself to more diverse ideas" always means a certain kind of conservatism instead of like, Indigenous art, new fusion foods, math paradoxes, or the Dvorak keyboard layout

I just "hacked" into my water-damaged Android phone. The filesystem is encrypted, it requires a 6-digit pin code to unlock, the screen is dead (both display and touch), and ADB debugging is disabled... but I still have access to the USB-C port, and that's all I really need. 😈 I feel like a god. 😆

THREAD: The boy is called a liar. He’s told not to defend himself. Then the private school owner encourages all of his peers to attack him, one by one. She hits him, repeatedly, with a plastic pipe-like object. How does this school still exist — and receive state funds? 🧵

It wasn't a fluke and it wasn't just in Russia that people were fighting. If the workers of the 30's and 40's were alive today they would have been on strike for the last 20 years. If you let people walk all over you, they do.
