This is better tracking of me than any ad.
[The last sentence is highlighted.] This week, the team behind the Vivaldi web browser released version 4.0, which seems like an appropriate time for me to tell you that you need to try it out. To riff off Neil Stephenson, Vivaldi outshines all other web browsers "in approximately the same way that the noonday sun does the stars ... it is not just bigger and brighter; it simply makes everything else vanish." Customization Is Key Stephenson was actually talking about the text editor Emacs, whose never-ending recursiveness makes it the programmer's Holy Grail of text editors. But I think the metaphor applies just as well to Vivaldi, compared to other web browsers. I don't think it's a stretch to say that Vivaldi is the Emacs of web browsers.

My first thought, when I saw a similar comment:
Maybe the judge thought, "All right. Let them waste their time. Better than harassing people for the citizenship papers." I mean (from the article), I can't imagine what they think they're going to find: 1/2 2/2 "FBI agents were searching the Fulton County Election Hub and Operation Center in Union City, the agency said in a statement, a facility that state officials opened in 2023." IN 2023.

Because the items are compelling and more to the point, it's way too easy to keep resharing screenshots.

In that spirit ... ;)

Many of the techbros have disappointed me with their toadying, but Tim Cook tops the list, for some reason. So let's post some pix for future reference, in celebration of his tonedeafness!
Tim Cook at the White House with Brett Ratner, director of "Melania" and also disgraced for other reasons. Tim Cook in a familiar pose: sucking up hard to Trump.

If you've seen any of the vids, you know that @ilhanmn.bsky.social went right at her attacker. Badass.

We now await Donald Trump posting another incendiary message on his fake Twitter, so more clowns like this will know what to do.

Dominant image: a bunch of parallel messy red stripes on the ground, with a pile of bodies in blue in one corner, forming a strong suggestion of the US flag. In foreground, a figure wearing a "POLICE ICE" vest, holding a gun in one hand and dragging another dead body with the other, forming another red stripe on the ground.

This, about that woman who gives KaroLyin' a run for her money every damn day:
“There are two types of people to whom these messages will quickly look familiar,” Oren Segal, a vice president for counterextremism at the Anti-Defamation League, said of the panoply of postings, “white supremacists, and those who study white supremacists.” A Homeland Security spokeswoman, Tricia McLaughlin, said that if the ICE recruiting post were actually about the song, it “would be a problem” and “morally repugnant.” But, she said, the post had no relation to the white-supremacist anthem. “There are plenty of references to those words in books and poems,” she said, adding that she was “in charge of everything” posted on the department’s social media accounts. But when the post was opened on Instagram’s mobile app, audio from the chorus of the song played in the background. After a reporter pointed this out, Ms. McLaughlin said The Times was participating in a left-wing conspiracy theory. “I’m telling you it’s not there,” she said. Less than 40 minutes after the interview on Thursday, the Instagram post — including audio from the song — disappeared from social media. Posts on X and Facebook, which did not include an audio component, are still visible. It was The Times, Ms. McLaughlin said, that was “mainstreaming racism” by tying the agency’s post to the white nationalist anthem. Tricia McLaughlin, looking like your worst nightmare of being trapped in a Mar-a-Lago dining room forever. A face that doesn't just say, "I demand to speak to a manager." A face that says, "I will have my assistant demand to speak to a manager."

They certainly have chosen the right guy to cover ICE. He could go undercover in a heartbeat.

Yup. And:
Megyn Kelly, quoting herself for some reason, above a still of her doing her podcast. "I know I'm supposed to feel sorry for Alex Pretti but I don't. You know why I wasn't shot by Border Patrol this weekend? Because I kept my ass inside and out of their operations." - @megynkelly My comment underneath: As underfed as you are, I doubt you have an ass.

And speaking of that extremity, you have to love the color contrast between his hand and his face, here:
Cropped picture of Trump from the above article, showing him pointing. His hand is winter white, his face is ... a different color. Rotted orange, I guess you'd call it?

Meanwhile, over on the hellsite ...
Today’s News FBI Identifies Funders Behind Anti-ICE Protests in Minneapolis Trending now · News · 4,768 posts FBI Identifies Funders Behind Anti-ICE Protests in Minneapolis Last updated 28 minutes ago Patel announced on Fox News that the FBI has made substantial progress tracing funders, based on public tips and leaks from Signal group chats used by activists to track ICE vehicles, share license plates, and organize responses. The chats include military-style reports labeling agents as 'abductors' and raise questions about access to restricted data, though Patel emphasized investigations target only those inciting violence against law enforcement, not free speech or gun rights. Amid shootings involving agents and local criticism of federal tactics, claims linked state figures like Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan to the chats, which she denied as baseless; leaked messages showed panic after exposure. This story is a summary of posts on X and may evolve over time. Grok can make mistakes, verify its outputs.
