Natural gas prices are rising both because of energy demand by data centers and because of Trump’s stupid war with Iran. So what does he do? Pay billions to cancel wind farm projects that would generate significant electrical capacity and help control prices in the market. Corruption and stupidity.
@geappliances.bsky.social you really need to fix your "Precise Fill" feature on fridges. Why does it require that I push the cradle lever for the whole fill? This would be like Keurig making me to keep the button pressed while my small cup fills. It really feels like half a feature, if that.
@ChaseSupport Your phone system needs a LOT of work. What a frustrating experience.
I hope that the Democrats are working on a plan for de-Trumpification of the government and to both fix what Trump has broken and prevent Republicans from trying to destroy our democracy in the future. I nominate @petebuttigieg.bsky.social to lead that effort.
The MAGA morons are losing their minds over birthright citizenship, calling for changes to the Constitution. I agree that changes are needed: 1. Reverse Citizens United 2. Pass the ERA 3. Enshrine reproductive rights for women 4. Add term limits for the Supreme Court That would be a good start.
In today's installment of "Why MAGA people are often ignorant of the facts," I defy you to find mention on @foxnews.com.web.brid.gy of the fact that the Supreme Court refused to hear Trump's appeal of the $5 million civil verdict for him sexually assaulting E. Jean Carroll.
I informed both @mapquest.com and @system1.com a couple of days ago that they are serving ads to users for sites that are known phishing and malware sites. So far, neither has seen fit to respond to my support requests. Avoid Mapquest until they decide to stop profiting off of ads from scammers.
@system1.com I sent you a communication detailing how your system is serving ads for known scam/phishing sites like lunaya ".net" (separated like that to prevent a link being created). Where is your response? Or do you not take any responsibility for what you do, as long as it makes money?
@mapquest.com Why are you serving ads from known scammer/phishing sites like "lunaya" .net? (typed that way so it doesn't link here). I filed a technical support request about this but have received no response. Make your ad provider stop putting your customers in peril, please!!!
If all these companies are using AI and it is so awesome, why do my streaming services all keep recommending series that they know I have viewed from start to finish on their platforms? I guess AI can’t cure sheer laziness.
The truest example of Trump Derangement Syndrome is any MAGA supporter trying to spin the Iran war as anything but an unmitigated failure and disaster.
The memorandum of understanding shows that Trump’s war of choice cost tens of thousands of lives and hundreds of billions of dollars, while disrupting the world economy and generating the highest inflation in years, while achieving nothing. And that is if the deal doesn’t simply collapse.
Funny how @foxnews.com.web.brid.gy buries this month's inflation numbers about 2 pages down on their site, and doesn't allow comments on the story. The ignorance of Fox News viewers isn't wholly their fault; it is curated and conducted by the network.
@microsoft.com Windows account recovery options are lousy when you are a caregiver for somebody with memory problems. Power of attorney and being able to prove identity are literally useless. So, what is somebody who can't remember their security question or past passwords to do? Use a Mac I guess.
There is no better depiction of evil than Trump threatening to massacre tens of thousands of civilians in his war of choice in Iran. Where are the Republicans who should be a check on the deranged, demented President?
Is the America First award given for starting a war in Iran and lifting sanctions on Russia so that China can have cheaper oil?
So, Trump can simply sign an executive order to pay TSA agents? Why didn't he do that 40 days ago? Oh right, he wanted to blame Democrats for something he could easily have fixed on day 1.
Donald Trump in 2011 said, “Our president will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate. He’s weak and he’s ineffective. So the only way he figures that he’s going to get reelected … is to start a war with Iran.” I guess he was talking about himself.
It is amazing just how bad the video is on @nbcpeacock.bsky.social for the Milano/Cortina Olympics. It is not quite bad enough to be called a slideshow, but it is much worse than any other live streaming sports on Peacock or other platforms. I wonder if their Super Bowl stream will be this bad.
Alex Pretti's family should sue Kristie Noem and Gregory Bovino for slander and defamation. The lies being spread by the administration are truly despicable.
A pronunciation guide for those on the right who have difficulty with Zohran Mamdani's name. You can pronounce it "Mister Mayor."
RFK Jr has cost countless lives with his ignorant anti-vaccine stance. He has seen the science and decided instead to base decisions on debunked misinformation and faked studies just to make himself feel better. If there is a better word to describe this than “Evil” then I don’t know what it is.
The right wing likes to claim that the first thing dictators do is take away guns. This is not true: the first thing dictators do is silence the independent media. That is what the Trump administration is doing by frivolous lawsuits and by threats from the FCC.
Two pieces of certified mail in a row lost by the USPS. I think that after years of “leadership” by DeJoy they basically gave up. It makes that courtroom speech in “Miracle on 34th Street” that much more nostalgic. Ah, the days when you count in mail to actually be delivered…
Inflation is up. Unemployment is up. The biggest nations in the world, who used to hate each other, are uniting against us. Masked government agents disappearing people off the street. Cities being occupied by our own military. Is this Greatness?
Does anybody have recommendations for a good cloud backup service, which would be a second tier of backup for my family systems after our on site backups? Unfortunately iDrive has proven unreliable, unable to address problems, and unwilling to communicate other than vague scripted assurances.
The claim that the Executive Branch was using its power to set tariffs due to some sort of economic emergency has always been specious at best. But the newly announced tariff for Brazil based on their prosecution of Bolsonaro is just an egregious case of dictator wannabe cronyism.
A prescient quote from the musical 1776, by John Dickinson of Pennsylvania explaining why people of lesser means support the policies of the wealthy: “Don't forget that most men with nothing would rather protect the possibility of becoming rich than face the reality of being poor.” Too true.
Donald Trump is trying to do for the country what he did for his businesses so many times: bring us to bankruptcy.
Remember when Republicans were the party of small government and personal freedoms? Now they have become the party of Big Brother, complete with the thought police — cancel culture in the form of a political party.
