Retired home tech geek. Spent many years building some cool stuff for some cool people. Now I enjoy my days with my grandson and my roommate's Doggs.

George Floyd should still be here to celebrate his 52nd birthday. His life sparked a movement, and our fight for justice, accountability, and humanity continues. We’ll never stop saying his name.

This isn’t a peace plan. It’s a ceasefire. Why is the media calling it a peace plan?

Tish James lit up the room last night — and her words echoed far beyond the walls of The United Palace. This is a fight for the future.

Confirmed, the "Gaza peace deal" was the same deal offered to Netanyahu and the US repeatdly, but it was turned down by Israel because they wanted to gift Trump (Israeli asset) a perceived victory at the expense of the Israeli hostages and Gaza population.

#Vinyl Yes I've been thinking of it - probably will need one. I think it maybe cheaper to replace/upgrade the cartridge tbh. 🤔

Trump’s indictment of Attorney General Letticia James will backfire as he just gave a very powerful voice a 📣. Thank you to @donlemonofficial.bsky.social for having me on to discuss the indictment.

During the lockdown, I looked at many remote positions. I always reviewed them thoroughly and ended up not taking any of them. Many expected you to reimburse them for "training and supplies" when you quit, and most of the time there was no time limit, even if they fired you.

Measure it by GDP and California beats out all but four COUNTRIES. So yeah, "biggest" by a long shot.

California just banned employers from forcing workers to pay a debt, fee, or penalty to leave their job.

Bosses have increasingly been trapping workers with debts incurred in training and other exploitative fees.

Now that's illegal in the nation's biggest state.

Trump and Israel really got the democratic party to fold in 2024, so what did we learn? next time don't back the genocidal state running troll farms and rape networks for your political opponent or go on TV repeatdly stating how much you stand with them. Hopefully this is an established lesson now.

"You're not resisting correctly unless you are willing to destroy your entire life and risk your family's safety" isn't good faith. You don't get to volunteer other people for jeopardy.

Farmers grow what they grow because of farm policy.

We don’t need all the soy and corn that we grow, but those are the commodities that receive subsidies and markets.

If we want something better, if we want to heal the Earth and grow food, now is the time to do it.
