I am literally bitching about that RIGHT NOW to a Linux guy I know. I don't NEED animations! I need something that WORKS! The HELL.

But it's the LEFT that's the problem, that's pushing domestic terrorism! Trump said so!

*sigh* I hate this timeline, where facts and data are ignored or even denigrated when they're inconvenient.

The home of South Carolina Circuit Court judge Diane Goodstein was set on fire and burned to the ground after she received death threats, following criticism by the Trump administration.

Got a new PC that came with Windows 11. Ok, cool. Ran it. Hated it. Turned off those irritating widgets, blocked the telemetry and ads, tweaked the UI. My experience improved. Still not where I want it to be, but if you're hating Win 11 this could help you hate it less. #windows11

I can kind of see why they're pushing this so hard. The military has long been the first place many folks encounter others from different places, races, classes, etc. If your entire political platform is based on divisiveness, the military's "we don't care as long as you can do the job" has to go.

The cognitive dissonance between what's written in the Bible and how evangelicals tend to practice what's written in the Bible has always baffled me, even as a child. MAGA just turned that "huh? what?" dial all the way up to eleven.

I don't know what's more baffling/upsetting - the brazen lies the administration spouts, the parroting/amplification of those lies by the media, or the instant acceptance of those lies by their supporters. Actual facts have no relevance to any of it. When did delusions become status quo?

Health care coverage would require literally a quarter of their income. No one can afford that. So instead they'd lose coverage, get sick, go into massive debt, lose their house, and pay extortionate rent to a conglomerate until they die broke.

Lawrence: One of the examples you've put out is in Speaker Mike Johnson's Louisiana district, a 60 year old couple earning 82,000 a year. Their health care premiums will rise by almost $20,000 by 300% because of what their congressman is doing.

This whole administration thinks this is how you govern???

It would be sad if it wasn't so dangerous.

I MEAN. Flying for HOURS on little notice to listen to some drunk asshole with delusions of grandeur prattle about his Call of Duty fever-dream of what he thinks your job is, and then being forced to listen to ANOTHER asshole blather incoherently too.

THIS COULD HAVE BEEN AN EMAIL.

As someone who's aro/ace I found most of the Stardew Valley heart events extremely cringy. Let's hear it for a shadow monster roommate! Much more my speed. And while I don't know if aro/ace rep was the goal with Krobus I appreciate it anyway. #aroace #cozygame #stardewvalley #krobus

I have fallen into Stardew Valley. It's become a special interest! I'm hyperfocusing like crazy on it, having ridiculous amounts of fun, and I'm already planning my next farm. I'm so glad my brain decided to fixate on something that will NEVER END. #stardewvalley #cozygame #gaming #hyperfocus

Putin came to power on New Year's night (1999-2000). Who does he go after first? Comedians. A puppet show (Kukly) had a Putin character with a big rubbery nose & stern KGB eyes. He hated it. Suddenly that shut down. And then the Network was shut down.

Hey America,

after the excerpts I saw from the inappropriate event to honor Charlie Kirk, I can only say that Sinclair Lewis was right . . .

For Americans, when the official gaslighting makes us question our own eyes, it can be helpful to get takes from outside the US. And yeah, what we hear from the right really is blatantly contrary to reality. And every day the right's making it harder to hear the people on the left.

Sure. Absolutely an option. We don't know yet what was behind this. It'll be interesting to see how it shakes out, though.

Epstein's birthday book came out yesterday.

Today MAGA's talking about Charlie Kirk. The book isn't getting much play at all.

I find that timing suspicious.
