Take a beat everyone. We have a LARGE section of land for Camp Pendleton that happens to have the I-5 drive past it down to the coast of San Diego. They bomb this and do training exercises here all the time. There is nothing here besides a military base, so it won't interrupt a protest. #NOKINGS

Americans should look up which countries ban the use of tear gas by military and police. Tear gas is a chemical weapon banned in war.

President Donald Trump, Republican officials, and their right-wing media allies have laid the groundwork for a broadbased attack on core progressive and Democratic Party institutions in response to Saturday’s planned nationwide “No Kings” protests. www.mediamatters.org/donald-trump...
The Trump administration is positioning the upcoming No Kings protests as an excuse for crushing dissent

They have ZERO fucking idea what their product does and who it is for. They don't care about anyone's mental health. They ONLY care about turning $15B into $300B, and they will happily use your tax breaks, water, and electricity to do it.

💛❌👑 #NoKings
(below the No Kings logo) WHY WE WEAR YELLOW Millions of people coming together in movement against this regime is our greatest hope for our freedoms, our families and our futures. For months, people online and on our streets have called for a simple, shared way to show that unity. Something anyone, anywhere, could show and share with others. Throughout history, people who have come together in protest against authoritarian regimes have utilized a color that is easy to see among a sea of thousands. YELLOW IS A BRIGHT, UNMISTAKABLE REMINDER THAT MILLIONS OF US STAND TOGETHER IN THE BELIEF THAT AMERICA BELONGS TO ITS PEOPLE, NOT TO KINGS. (around the No Kings logo) WHY WE WEAR YELLOW HISTORICAL CONTEXT HONG KONG: protesters carried yellow umbrellas as acts of protest, turning an everyday object into a vivid icon of peaceful resistance against violence and suppression. ASIA: yellow ribbons became emblems of hope, accountability, and systemic reform: after South Korea’s Sewol ferry tragedy, yellow ribbons evolved from memorial tokens into protest symbols demanding government transparency and justice. EASTERN UKRAINE: the "Yellow Ribbon" movement reclaimed the color as a signal of resistance and national self-determination amid invasion. BY CHOOSING YELLOW, WE ALIGN OURSELVES WITH THIS HISTORICAL CONTEXT: IT IS A VISIBLE, OPTIMISTIC BANNER THAT CARRIES THE WEIGHT OF DEMOCRATIC STRUGGLE, NONVIOLENT DISSENT, AND A REMINDER THAT POWER MUST STEM FROM THE PEOPLE, NOT FROM CROWNS. (around the No Kings logo) WHY WE WEAR YELLOW THE ASK TO WEAR YELLOW On October 18, millions of us will join our neighbors at No Kings rallies to stand united against the authoritarian regime in the White House. Our power is in our unity, and our unity will be seen in yellow. For generations, people around the world have used color to show collective strength in the face of oppression. Our movement is no different. Yellow is our shared signal, bright, bold, and impossible to ignore, a reminder that America's power belongs to our people, not to kings. WHEN YOU WEAR YELLOW, YOU JOIN A MOVEMENT THAT STRETCHES FROM CITY BLOCKS TO RURAL TOWN SQUARES, A MOVEMENT ROOTED IN HOPE, COURAGE, AND THE BELIEF THAT AMERICA IS WORTH FIGHTING FOR.

The 13 people with new jobs at the empty data center are still not going to see a wage increase, and the free local tax breaks will make sure none of that goes into our actual economy.

It's day 13 of the shutdown. What's Trump doing?
 
Negotiating a budget deal? No.
 
Preventing premiums from doubling? No.
 
Stopping 15 million Americans from losing health care? No.
 
He's meeting the Pres. of Argentina to reward him with a $20 billion bailout.
 
America first?

Just to assure everyone, your Windows 10 PC is NOT going to cease to function on the 14th.
THIS IS NOT Y2K.
Systems embedded with Windows 10 will be around for the next 8+ years. Ask corporate IT why Microsoft offered another year of free support to Europe but not the US.

THE WEIRDEST F*CKING TIMELINE.
It's Friday October 10th 2025, so here's the President talking about not using a common pain reliever and his secretary of health commenting on that by saying that autism is related to circumcision. 🙃

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

I wonder if Microsoft secretly wants everyone to switch to Linux. There are certainly fewer reasons to stick to Windows every day: www.theverge.com/news/793579/...

It's going to be enforced just like every tech law ever.
1. Companies are going to ignore the law and harm someone
2. A person or class action is going to sue and win
2a. Company drags it out in appeal
3. Depending on the money lost or the publicity, other companies will start following the law

California has now banned algorithmic price fixing.

The state has outlawed the practice of landlords colluding to raise prices using rental software and AI.

This is a huge victory for renters in the biggest state in the country.

Learn from the internet pre-social media. The key to successful moderation is having a trustworthy moderation team that feels appropriately accountable to the community. Everyone wants to make ostensibly unmoderated spaces with hard objective boundaries and it doesn’t work & has never worked.
