I hate this timeline so much

I wonder what the courts will do in response

Please highlight this story. ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago. kfor.com/news/local/w...

More proof that RFK Jr is a fucking moron: waste $20 million on TV ads while firing 10,000 staff and eliminating health divisions (like the one fighting HIV).

🙄🤦‍♂️🤮🤯

Trump is a genius: “essentially all shipments out of China for major retailers and manufacturers have ceased”. I’m sure Americans will be totally fine with this, and if they’re unhappy, they’ll properly blame Trump.

I love that the app from @americanredcross.bsky.social gives me updates on my donation, including that today my donation helped save more than one life.

Ugh, will I need to go abroad for COVID vaccines? I hate how science denying morons are running the US.

How dare Amazon truthfully show why prices are suddenly massively higher?!? It's almost as if tariffs are bad.

It is a hostile and political act to tell costumers how much things cost

Trump really pivoting to his inner Nazi

This includes US citizens. Right? Right? Right?

Over at The Verge I wrote about how Brendan Carr has transformed our top media and telecom regulator into a dangerous, incoherent, grievance-fueled censorship and harassment machine:

I'm just golfing with a fascist whose gestapo kidnaps kids with cancer in the middle of the night, get outta here with your politics

"As a family-owned small business, Thomas says she will have no choice but to pass down the price to consumers. For now, all she can do is wait for the tariff drama to end." www.wired.com/story/christ...

I've always told trademark owners it's impossible to register every possible typo, hyphen, or word combo, so it's interesting Google is doing this now.

Always has been this way. And the fact MAGA and the GOP doesn’t care speaks volumes about their commitment to their so called ideals.

I thought this fucknut said he would end the war within 24 hours via a phone call?

Just a friendly reminder: EVERTYTHING this man claims about health is misleading or an outright lie.

So gross and yet MAGA is cheering

we will never let you edit posts. you must wear each typo as an albatross. you will bear the weight of your hubris

Because fuck the environment and international collaboration

A law firm that in part specializes in IP litigation filed a lawsuit against a domain name registered with my company that *clearly* is cybersquatting. They want the domain name transferred to them. I have no idea why they skipped the UDRP: it's faster and cheaper.

Bold response Donnie. If only there was something more you could do to support Ukraine.

These donors are shocked that Trump is doing exactly what he said he would.

This is so obviously illegal but of course nothing will happen.

Trump and his cronies are pure evil. This is beyond reprehensible.

free speech absolutist (I'm embarrassed for anybody that still uses this platform)

How dare Ukraine not want to cede its territory to an aggressive invading country committing war crimes?!?

Optimus won't be used for anything, let alone military uses. It's at least a decade behind other tech, and the demo was all remote controlled "robots". Why do people still believe Elon's lies?!?

And somehow the “but her emails” crowd just doesn’t care

Trump already cut medicaid reimbursements at the beginning of the year, which is devastating non profit hospitals in particular these cuts and the inevitable deaths are happening NOW

Lazy reporting by Spin (and others): Taylor is *not* self-made. She grew up in a very wealthy family, with a lot of privilege and support. I'm not downplaying her success or talent, but she had A LOT of help getting started.

I can only imagine the crappy snake oil ads Google shared with those members (HIPPA issues aside).

Still wrapping my head around a President with 34 felony convictions snatching people off the street if they have a speeding ticket on their record.

Trump channeling his inner Neville Chamberlain. Also, get fucked Donnie.

My standard poodles have such amusing sleep positions.

Why keep people in the country who are helping to develop groundbreaking medical technologies? Oh, she protested the war in Ukraine, so when she goes back to Russia her life will be in danger. That's on brand for Trump.

In THIS administration we value WARFIGHTERS who WARFIGHT the enemy and if you’re not WARFIGHTING the enemy to DEATH we don’t want you in the DEPARTMENT OF WARFIGHTING, take your “logistics” and “intelligence” BULLSHIT somewhere else this place is for WARFIGHTING WARFIGHTERS WHO WARFIGHT. GRRR!

Who among us hasn't had trouble with their phone apps?

One night a week, a gay dance club in downtown Austin transforms into a lecture hall. Drag queen Brigitte Bandit's show aims to help LGBTQ+ Austinites and allies keep up with news relevant to their community and find resources for political advocacy. l8r.it/IX8G

I don’t think we talk enough about the fact that Pete Hegseth doesn’t believe in the germ theory of disease and consequently doesn’t wash after he wipes www.bbc.com/news/world-u...

I'll believe this when it happens. Trump loves people who kiss his ass more than competency.

eat shit, fascist

The headline states the result is "alarming" but it's only to those who have not paid attention to what dogshit tech AI actually is. This, however, won't stop tech bros from hyping and pumping tens of billions more into this "tech".

people are going to get excited that the Trump administration has perpetuated the cases against big tech, but when we get to the remedy phase it's going to be solutions like "be more racist" and "give right wing propagandists search result priority"

Oh great more people to come beg for carveouts

Assuming the registrant replies, I don't think X-Law has much of a chance. Lots of assumptions: the registrant is not a lawyer, there is infringement (for a landing page?), etc.
