the list of things that needs to be done to repair this country is extensive but high up on it is breaking the power of the tech lords

they are convinced they are untouchable feudal barons whose money allows them to dictate everyone else's life and they must be disabused of that notion

Fuck the ant that fucked up my toe two days ago at the park while I was reading. I hope that motherfucker is happy for what it did to me. It is so itchy and my toe is so swollen and red.

It’s hard to see this any other way than, public health is science that helps rich and poor alike, and rich people hate that.

Buried in Michigan's antiporn bill is a provision to effectively outlaw "circumvention tools," such as VPNs.

Mark my words: legislators will increasingly leverage porn panic to restrict or ban VPNs, and to limit internet privacy far beyond adult sites.

Experts raise privacy concerns over Michigan bill targeting pornography and VPNs

Rep. Josh Schriver, the bill’s sponsor, says the law is designed to target only producers and distributors of pornography, not everyday internet users.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Brian Harrison and Libs of TikTok have overruled the residents of Harris County, one of the largest metropolitan areas in the nation.

The Barbed Wire @thebarbedwire.com · 1d

Chaya Raichik, better known as Libs of TikTok, was dutifully bemoaning the fact that the city of Houston repainted a Montrose neighborhood crosswalk decked on in LGBTQ+ rainbow colors. Raichik wrote that the crosswalk “must be removed immediately.”

And our governor dutifully complied.

Cool! It Really Looks Like Greg Abbott is Taking Orders From Libs of TikTok

Acting on the orders of notorious cesspool Libs Of TikTok, the governor bravely stands up to the menace of decorative asphalt.

LLM ai makes me so mad since ai has a lot of potential as a useful tool in so many fields but now we’ve completely lied to the public for years about what it’s capable of and how everyone should use it for everything so even the useful aspects get lost in the mess of unnecessary overuse.

First step stuff. They need to full admit fault but that will not happen until their brains aren’t completely in cult mode.

I keep coming back to “you don’t even have to admit you’re are wrong, just that you have been lied to” again and again. Admitting fault is hard but we need to overcome the cognitive dissonance somehow.
