“They want more dead kids” is a factually accurate way to describe this administration

Aside from the obvious direct harm, what's so irritating is that a handful of spoiled ignorant assholes are breaking things that we all built together. They weren't content to own almost everything, they had to wreck what little they didn't own. It's vandalism on a mass scale and has to be punished

One of the things I love about #Qobuz besides the deep jazz catalog and access to hi res streaming, is their now-verified highest payouts to artists in the industry. It's never too late to ditch Spotify. community.qobuz.com/press-en/qob...

To me, a Nazi salute means, "I want to murder your family." There can be no irony about it: It puts deep anger and hatred in my heart to see it done and I will never forgive anyone who justifies or minimizes it.

An unelected South African has taken control of the US Treasury and is deciding to stop payments on American obligations, in violation of numerous court orders, and admits in the Oval Office that he has done so upon incorrect information, while the President sits impotently behind the Resolute Desk.

When protestors uttered the slogan “defund the police” the national media had a massive freak out. But now that Trump wants to actually gut the FBI and (it would seem) illegally fire 1000s of people who work there, the same media sees it as a curiosity, a dull bureaucratic matter.

how can platforms prioritize rapid info distribution, especially in times of disaster response? one possibility: Bluesky trending topics are implemented as custom feeds — each topic is a feed. to stay updated with the LA fires, you can pin the "trending topic" just like any other custom feed

Let’s be clear—the fact checkers have not “been” politically biased as Zuck suggests, but have been perceived as such because of politically motivated efforts to smear them, one that Zuck is now participating in and capitulating to. 1/

Here's a quick piece I wrote up on how to understand DOGE as a very blatant attempt at procurement capture, a simple way of making government spending corrupt to benefit the tycoons. Please do pass it along & share any feedback! www.anildash.com/2025/01/04/D... (Thx for the nudge to write it!)

Switching to Qobuz made me realize how Spotify made music not matter. It became background noise instead of something that brought me joy. No wonder: harpers.org/archive/2025...
