I hadn’t really listened to her music before, it’s not really my style. But I’ll be listening more now.

At this point, I don’t know that you can be pro-Israel but anti-genocide. It’s a nation founded on apartheid which is just a few steps removed from genocide itself.

It’s all good, Mr president, I gotchu.

People fucking HATE you. Like really really fucking HATE you.

I really wish the mainstream media would describe this with historical context. Alfred Hugenberg gutted the German bureaucracy when hitler took power to allow the Nazis free reign, and that is absolutely the point of DOGE today.

Get ready for bacon as a meme again and 3-for-a-dollar ham sandwiches.

I think after decades of the term “oligarch” being used in popular culture and nationwide news coverage, people in the “forgotten middle” know what oligarchy is. She’s doing the exact thing “liberal elites” get accused of doing all the time which is insulting her constituents’ intelligence.

It’s way creepier and unethical than a harem.

If all he was doing was basically paying women to fuck him, that would be maybe unsavory but not terribly weird.

He’s promising to pay women to bear his children, but uses artificial insemination if they agree to it. Then he sends them an NDA and if they won’t sign he claims the baby isn’t his.

Sounds like the beginning of the Cory Doctorow novella “Unauthorized Bread.” Cloud service goes down and the main character’s toaster won’t work without them.

Uni jetstream edge .28 mm. Uses an oil-based ink that doesn’t smear if it gets wet. Feels good in the hand too.

Also, the rOtring ballpoint pens.

This is something that I hope fediverse developers and OSS developers start focusing on: making installation and self-hosting much simpler. Currently trying to set up self-hosted anything is a gigantic pain in the ass if you’re not already an experienced sysadmin.

Allred isn’t my ideal candidate for senate but he’s still light years better than the zodiac killer of Cancun, and I’ll happily vote for him the first day of early voting here.

NBC is reporting it, which makes it seem unlikely that it’s bullshit.

Every day is some variation on shitty.

Name one fucking thing that the Harris campaign is offering that isn’t conservative policy from a decade or less ago or fearmongering about “orange man bad.”

Ending support of Israel’s genocidal campaign? Nope.

Universal healthcare? Nope.

A green new deal, or at least serious action on climate change? Think again.

National legalization of abortion and other reproductive rights and care? Keep dreaming.

Any meaningful action against a flagrantly corrupt Supreme Court? Absolutely not.

We have a retread of trump’s border policy and assurances that she cares. Same watered down shit we’ve gotten from the democrats since Reagan made them scared of their own shadows, and terrified of being called “liberal.”

Oh good, let’s shame people who aren’t enthusiastic about either candidate rather than putting forward candidates who can at least say they support what the majority of Americans do.

Right? Let’s demonize vore fetishists next, those are clearly cannibals in waiting.

Gary Larson has several species of animals named after him. He also named the spiked part of a stegosaurus tail in a comic (the thagomizer, “after the late Thag Simmons”) and had that name adopted as the official name by paleontologists.

[70s movie trailer voice] They’re…the morons.

I also don’t know the laws in India, but in the US nearly every major “hacking” case for decades has been a miscarriage of justice to some degree or another.

Like Kevin Mitnick who simply figured out that a major early ISP was keeping customer payment information in plaintext on an internet-connected server.

They don’t want to carry inventory because Amazon doesn’t. The prices are higher because vendors are contractually obligated to sell on Amazon at their lowest price. So retailers, with a need to have a physical presence and having to buy at more or less the same price a product is available for on Amazon, get fucked. Their only hope is vendors who make a “different” product to sell at other outlets. An example of what I mean is, Poppi soda sells for $20/12 pack on Amazon. They sell a 15 pack at Costco for the same price. Because it’s a “different” product they are not in breach of contract.
