I wonder if #RFKJr wears seatbelts. They're more likely to harm you in an accident than a vaccine is likely to have a serious side effect. Anyhoo

Sometimes I still find myself thinking about how #LadyGaga casually dropped one of the greatest #trance tracks of all time (with #EltonJohn) no less, and just moved along: music.youtube.com/watch?v=Gj2g...

#Matter pro-tip: If you are trying to add an already-controlled device to another Matter controller (eg, light is in #AppleHome, you want it also in #HomeAssistant), POWER CYCLE IT FIRST! It seems many/most Matter devices refuse pairing after 10-15 minutes of power on time.

If you are a person working in the federal government, or you know someone who is, please know you are loved and supported. My husband works for the VA. He cares so much for "his" veterans. And this administration is treating him like shit. He's worked for the VA for 15 years! I'm so mad

It's funny, #conservatives all thought when we hit the "price controls" part of Atlas Shrugged in real life, it would be because of the communist Democrats running the show. They never realized they're the socialists Rand was really worried about. *shrug* Who is John Galt?

Democrats, we did it! We're the pro-business party!

We keep talking about the cruelty being the point, but idk if anyone else has noticed, those who don’t agree also aren’t going to be motivated by that. Cruelty isn’t a concern for them. Some like it! We need to be talking about how this affects Americans if we are going to start changing minds.

Is there a driver more selfish, more willfully stupid, more genuinely arrogant, than the suburban parent picking up their kid from school?

So #nvidia has a perfectly satisfactory queueing system for the DGX Spark but can't do the same thing for its gaming GPUs? WTF

Coding with #Continue has been a joy. I know we're supposed to hate #LLMs but seriously, this is amazing. It's running on my own box, on my own GPU. What's not to like?

I can understand being underwater on a #Tesla and not being able to unload it, but what's the excuse for still being on #Twitter? You might not be able to ditch the #swasticar but do you really need to frequent the owner's Nazi bar, too?

As a #Texas state representative introduces legislation to make identifying as trans a felony, when do we get to start talking about events like #SXSW? Hosting in Texas is exclusionary and dangerous. This needs to stop being a celebrated event and start being a source of shame.

Can’t believe Twitter keeps crashing despite Elon hiring the best 19-year-old interns that racism has to offer

lol. lmao. #tesla

welcome (once again) from the other site! here's a tweetdeck for you, as a treat

It's mortifying how "journalists" keep reporting Republican so-called "concern" for "safe spaces" for "women" yet none of these "journalists" follow up to ask why men are dangerous in the first place. They just accept men as a danger to women, without any concern for that issue at all.

It's Monday evening. I just scheduled water damage mitigation to arrive in the morning. That's how my week is going. 😡

jfc how is #wayland still so janky

Uhhhh who now what now?

Trying to limit your social media usage on iOS? - Tap and hold an app until the menu appears - Tap "Require FaceID" - Tap "Hide and Require FaceID" This will: - Remove the app from your Home Screen - Silence all notifications from the app. Tap "Hidden" in App Library to get back to them.

*looks around* So we've all just moved on from the military helicopter that took out a civilian passenger plane, huh?

#WebUSB was such a nice idea. Write your hardware's config UI in a web app. Super clean and easy for lots of use cases. Except in practice it only works well on Chrome and Edge, and then, only on Windows.

A reporter needs to walk into a Trump press conference and "accidentally" refer to "President Musk." That's it. That's all someone has to do.

How long before it's considered a hate crime to flip off a CyberTruck owner?

I’m sure this is not at all an example of what we can expect in the years to come.

I usually avoid NextDoor like the plague but someone whined about being yelled at on the street for driving a "large truck." So I asked a rhetorical question: "Is it a CyberTruck?" "Yes it is" 🤣🤣🤣 Suck it, fascists.

There's something poetic about the PlayStation, which Nintendo killed at the last moment as a mere peripheral to the SuperNES, now utterly dominating the current-gen console space, basically keeping Sony solvent.

I flip off every single one I see.

Every single headline that reads "Trump fires Inspectors General" that doesn't read "Trump Illegally fires…" is normalizing the lawlessness happening right now. The President owes Congress 30-day's notice, in writing, with explanation for cause. What he is doing is 100% illegal. Full stop, illegal

A model trained to catch #CSAM would be a boon to the many thousands of people tasked with catching this content, who often deal with various forms of PTSD. A perfect example of where a large model can provide tangible benefits for humans.

Donald Trump, who spent around $20 million tax dollars to attend a sporting event today, has directed Treasury to stop penny production citing waste.

There's nothing wrong with buying a USED #Tesla from any entity other than Tesla. Tesla gets no money. You get a good car for a cheap price. Cheap Models 3s and Ys can be a lifeline. They're great cars. Full stop. Get the "I bought it before" bumper sticker. No one will know.

As per usual, these people refuse to accept their blame. It's no wonder that community has struggled so long. They don't have to want the blame. They deserve it. They own it. It's on them.

Few things say, "you're fine, nothing to worry about," in quite the same way as a power outage where the power company reports 0 outages.

Just finished a far-too-long read about a couple that was banned from Disney's Club 33 for being assholes. I'm not sure the intended takeaway, but all I've generally concluded is a lot of people have way more than they deserve, and that seems to go hand in hand with treating people poorly.
