Meanwhile the MV3 implementation on Safari still lags behind Chrome result in a lousy content blocking experience - but for some reason Apple believes people want liquid glass rather than a web browser that doesn't trail behind the competition in terms of web standards and extension API.

David Seymour is a living embodiment that the right wing has never understood economics and yet somehow the average voter believes the BS that the right are good stewards of the economy.

It is the inevitable consequence of 'by faith alone' - a theology that doesn't require the believer to put inward transformation into behaviour in the real world hence the reason why there are so many hypocrites in the evangelical movement yet they maintain their positions within their movement.

Is that the reason why Elon is angry, he found out that his whole DOGE project was a distraction and never something the Trump admin was going to take seriously - that Elon unwittingly played his role as a distraction and now his life is, personal and professional, is heading down the toilet. 🧵

Unless of course the whole DOGE thing was basically the Steve Bannon 'flood the zone' and the idea of finding 'waste, fraud and abuse' was never genuine but rather a distraction to keep the media occupied while the Trump admin did a whole lot of stuff without it being noticed. 🧵

This is in regards to the promise made by Elon that he would find $1-$2 trillion in savings (I assume the savings were over 10 years) - the only way you could make savings on such a scale would be to include the department of defence as part of that process. 🧵

Side note: Swanndri has a winter special so I ordered some long sleeve shirts to replace the ones I'm donating. Note to self: Avoid buying white shirts like the plague, they never age well.

If 'freedom of speech' is under threat then why didn't the conservative government, after ruling the UK for over a decade, do anything about it? Last time I checked Liz Truss was in the conservative government and said nothing on the matter of freedom of speech the whole time she was in government.

If these 'pro-life' groups had a coherent philosophy outside of controlling women's reproductive rights they would be advocating single payer healthcare that is free at point of delivery but alas the same people who claim to be 'pro-life' scream 'socialism' when single payer is advocated.

Meanwhile we still have far too many Americans lecture the world about how they have the most perfect most awesome most incredible system of govt ever devised by man, a constitution personally written by Jesus H Christ himself as he fought the godless communists. Trump is a product of your system.

That is why it is important to turn out to every election - no excuses, no "I don't feel inspired" nonsense I routinely hear from Americans being interviewed by journalists. Get off your backside, get and ID and get out to vote and stop making excuses. 🧵

The failure to turn out in the midterms in Obama's first term resulted in GOP majorities at the state level who then used that to gerrymander redistricting at the state and federal elections which then allowed them to cement the majority they have today. 🧵

Any word on when/if File Explorer will be updated or is it part of a long list of todos that is being worked on?

Supply-side economics is basically a fundamentalist religion at this point - all the evidence demonstrating that it is a colossal failure is rejected by those who are part of the 'cult of supply-side economics' with claims that 'it wasn't done right' or 'it wasn't given enough time' when it fails.

What I hope is that consumer protection watch dogs around the world keep an eye on the prices of Apple products to ensure that Apple doesn't try to spread the cost of tariffs to consumers outside of the US - there are already rumours that is one strategy they're thinking of employing.

So let me get this straight, Riley Gaines comes in 5th equal in a swimming race (which means there were 4 cis women in front of her and the trans woman in the swimming race) and she is now a regular on Fox News. Could someone explain to me why one should care what her opinion is on any given matter?

It is clear that Trump, his cabinet and half of Americans desperately need take a class in basic economics - macro and micro 101. Just because you give a tax cut to businesses they're not magically going to employ more people when there has been no increase in demand for said good and/or service.

Take note Democrats - when Republicans want to get things done they just get things done but when you're in power you pearl clutch at the smallest utterance from the senate parliamentarian - imagine the landslide victory you could have achieved if you ignored the senate parliamentarian.
