I like that Firefox is (through @jaffathecake) communicating. But the point is not really if you can disable the features TBH.

I think the problem is how Firefox/Mozilla is perceived: Putting a whole lot of resources into AI […]

Going on a cruise ship is still not an activity I personally have *any* desire to do (especially in a "post"-COVID world), but kudos to MSC Cruises for making the right move in this case.

Hope to see them banned from more places in the future.

Wow, almost 16k were without power for almost an hour already. Looks like they're doing their usual splitting of the outage into some smaller ones, might only be 4k affected now?

More "AI" "features" aren't what we need, or the direction Mozilla should be going. I already jumped ship to a Firefox fork that's taken a strong Anti-AI stance (@librewolf), but still care about Gecko.

You can talk all you want […]

Hey #Seattle it looks like power is flickering around Capitol Hill today, with this atmospheric river ongoing. Follow @seattlecitylight.bots.gruezi.net to get up to date outage information across Seattle.

Fuck Joy Hollingsworth, Maritza Rivera, Debora Juarez, Dan Strauss, Bob Kettle, and Sara Nelson- approving this police contract is unconscionable.

GAAAH. One of the most frustrating parts of this game to me is that you, the trainer can black out as well, even if your Pokemon are still totally healthy/battling.

Don't love Mayor Harrell feeding the right-wing conspiracy theorists with this one 😕

Washington state has one of the most secure and reliable election systems in the country, and it's really disappointing to hear even an outgoing mayor echoing Trumpian talking points.

I just called and left voicemails to both of my senator's offices, urging them to call for Schumer to step aside.

This debacle has been yet another in a long string of his leadership failures, and it's long past time for him to go.

I also called to thank Rep. Jayapal for standing firm and vowing to not vote for a deal that doesn't protect […]

Democrats need to not give in and keep blocking the Republicans from gutting ACA subsidies.

There's nothing clean about their CR, and it'd be a betrayal of trust if they give in.

Jesus HOPPING christ.

If you're a constituent, flood Schumer's inbox. Flood all their inboxes. Better yet, call them. Holy fuck.

Why Does Schumer Keep Trying to Cave?

How the Senate Democratic leader and his Gang of Eight keep trying to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory […]

I can't with Kshama anymore- while she did help to push for the $15 minimum wage and head tax, she completely lost me when she endorsed the grifter Jill Stein.

Rallying against "the two parties" equally is a stupid take in 2025. The Dems are far from perfect, but there are at least some good ones.
