When I say that Democrat Mayors don’t give one fuck about their residents this is what I mean. @mayorjacobfrey.bsky.social doesn’t actually give a shit about ICE murdering people in his city.
The Minneapolis Police Department has declared tonight’s protest outside a downtown hotel an unlawful assembly, calling it a public nuisance, and ordered the crowd to disperse. bit.ly/3Yu1KW3

I reached out to the sponsors of the Take It Down Act and the Kids Online Safety Act, all of whom maintain a daily active presence on X. I noticed that most of them continue to post on X officially despite getting little to no engagement on their posts.

Why isn't there a bigger Grok boycott?
Advertisers, politicians, and investors are still all-in on X, despite a sexual abuse crisis.

The Democratic Party needs to hold a vote to oust Jeffries immediately.

This read on NYPD torturing arrestees has me thinking, inevitably, about those whose stories don't make it into the news.
NYPD abuses people in handcuffs. How do they get away with it?
New York Police Department officers use force on people already restrained, which some experts characterize as “torture”

None of them are playable on a Mac. I own all of them but my pc laptop doesn’t work anymore because of windows.

Yeah, I just put in that request. Thankfully, it was only nine dollars so I’m not incredibly crushed if I don’t get a refund.

I’m trying to find a replacement for return to Wolfenstein on a Mac and it seems as it doesn’t exist.

Well "easy red 2" on steam was a complete waste of 9 bucks.

Was looking for something I could kill some nazis without multiplayer bullshit. Immediately it wants me to be a team leader of a squad... and also gives me the option of being the nazis.

Anyone help me out here. I have no idea what key this is meant to be. (On a Mac)

Meanwhile on twitter, Elon's Ai seems to have learned to lie about creating explicit material.

So yeah, y'all keep using Ai - I'm sure it'll all work out great.

Nah, Russia isn't the good guy in this situation. They need Venezuela as a subserveant country as much as the US does.

Wild that Masterclass is still running ads with Epstein's buddy Noam Chomsky about disinformation.

Not sure what Chomsky would have ever known about disinfo as he's a linguist and by the time the term even came into regular use was uninformed about nearly everything he spoke on.

The Democratic Party leadership could not give one single suck about the murder of an American by and ICE agent.

Other Democrats disagree, but not enough to call for the removal of these two.
