- Disney+/Hulu was not hard
- Facebook/Threads/Insta were easier given the sewer they've turned into
- Prime not a big loss
- Been off Twitter for years

But damnit, I really like YouTube Premium!

Their lawsuit capitulation has me really wanting to cancel but am finding it hard to pull the trigger

I'm looking for my next thing, and I need to move fast. I have several years of experience in developer relations from startups to the enterprise, and I'm particularly skilled at distilling complex topics into something easily understood by newbies and non-technical folks alike, on stage or off. 1/3

Excellent rebuttal by @climatetown.bsky.social about the LandMan clip people are ignorantly referring to as if it weren’t complete fiction. youtu.be/wBC_bug5DIQ?...

I had previously cleaned out my FB profile and deleted my Threads and Insta account. I had kept the FB account open just in case I needed to DM people or use marketplace but this tipped me over the edge. As of this morning I’m now 100% off FB / Meta.
A reminder on integrity. This is straight up false, and the reporter played along. The data was taken, Facebook buried its own audit, it’s still fighting lawsuits, he and the board are actively being deposed, and the “concluded” investigations were due to ~$6B in settlements.

Congratulations, plaudits, bouquets and a well earned pat on the back to all of the “Lets-teach-a-lesson-to-Genocide-Joe” activists; and a hearty well-done for the MAGA folks who railed against endless wars. Because what’s more America First than this, my good lads?

@benjaminwittes.bsky.social writes that an FBI "refusing to become political agents of the regime in power would, so far anyway, look almost exactly like what we are seeing."

Don’t look now but the FBI is resisting the political witch-hunt loosed upon it.

The truth of January 6th can't be erased. Watch the pardoned criminals brutally attacking police inside the Capitol and see what some call 'patriotism.' No spin, just facts.

Your WTF of the hour
Trump attorneys’ call into question U.S. citizenship for Native people. They state because Indians “owe ‘immediate allegiance’ to their tribes, they are not ‘subject to the jurisdiction’ of the United States and are not constitutionally entitled to Citizenship.” www.msn.com/en-us/news/o...

If more Christians acted and spoke like this, maybe their religion wouldn't be filled with so many hypocrites. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/maga-chris...
MAGA Christianity is Anti-Jesus. Just ask Jesus.

To everyone I know that voted for Trump, this is on YOU.

You are all hypocrites when you say you "Back the blue" yet vote for a felon who told you he was going pardon and commute the sentences of these violent offenders.
