The holidays are coming, so buy my new book for everyone on your gift list, that'd be great! It's a wide-ranging examination of "political Twitter culture," radical economics, non-corporate news media, and why corporate social media is dying.

Holy crap, it's been less than 10 days since Windows 10 support ended and already my PC is doing some really weird shit. Obviously the haXors are firing at will, they find exploits daily. Changed all my important passwords, doing any important stuff on my phone for now. 😳

I'm not turning into a Fundie or anything, but this struck me today. I forget what I was searching Google for, but this was the first thing that came up, solid proof that not all Christians are MAGA lunatics. So many people are just flat out bullshitting full time.

And now here it is, your daily moment of outrage (I can barely stand the sight of social media recently; we should be rioting):

"Kristi Noem has $0 for victims of Hurricane Helene in Western North Carolina who lost their homes but $172,000,000 to buy jets to ferry her around to pose for photo-ops."

Doesn't matter but thanks. Twitter's totally destroyed and I have no time nowadays, so I'm kinda taking a hilariously long-needed break. I'll check in on ya thought.

Like the system in which he thrives, Trump is more hideously psychopathic than people realize. I just binge-watchd Devil In Disguise and kept thinking about how similar Trump is to John Gacy. Addicted to approval, intolerant of femininity. And a pedo. It's startling.

As Bluesky becomes the "New Twitter" (positive) and the "New Twitter" (derogatory), just keep in mind that one day in the future this administration is going to so something terrible related to this place and the Bluesky Leadership Team is ABSOLUTELY going to fully cooperate and fuck people over

The end of free Windows 10 support this Wednesday could be an environmental disaster, cutting off 400 million PCs from security updates and dooming millions of still usable computers.

The End of Windows 10 Support Is an E-Waste Disaster in the Making

In an example of egregious planned obsolescence, as many as 400 million computers will soon hit the waste stream.

BBC, One India and others reporting that Israel violated the ceasefire within hours by killing 4 to 5 people (and counting, a drone strike was also reported, not that Western media will ever talk about it).
So much for that 2026 Nobel Peace Prize for whatsisface.

"Bleating and babbling we fell on his neck with a scream. Wave upon wave of demented avengers march cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream.
Have you heard the news? The dogs are dead!
You better stay home and do as you're told; get out of the road if you want to grow old."

Twitter is dying, no one is being seen. Elmo is still slashing infrastructure, renegotiating contracts with Amazon Web Services, owes back rent and salaries, and finding there's no way to make a profit from it. Meanwhile he's ignoring pleas to keep pedo links off the site, as BBC revealed in August.

100x worse than Watergate: Friday's crypto crash resulted in Trump insiders profiting to the tune of 100s of millions of dollars each, while at least one crypto bro killed himself in his Lamborghini.
They don't even care how obvious the rot's become.
