Oh no. I was listening to a podcast where one of the hosts mentioned how Fedora Linux made his 2011 MacBook usable again (and trackpad & media buttons all work) and now I’m thinking about installing Linux Mint my 2012 MacBook Air.

This framing is so important to help people understand that eugenics is driving what RFK, Jr. is doing. And it's not just autism and ADHD; they believe that anyone disabled is "less than" and thus hurting America.

The updated count of measles cases in Texas now stands at 90, increased from 58 three days ago. Of these cases, 77 (86%) are children, 85 (94%) overall are unvaccinated, and 0 (0.0%) have been mentioned by RFK Jr. the Secretary of HHS. He’s far too busy casting aspersions on vaccines.

Genuinely couldn't believe this figure until I saw the Financial Times confirm it using Meta's own financial reporting data For THIS $100 billion is genuinely the kind of money you could "do the impossible" with. Crack nuclear fusion. HIV vaccine. Universal flu vaccine And they spent it on this

Another way to put this: Musk and his twerps have exposed us to pandemics, broken science, stolen all your data, endangered the U.S. payments system, threatened air traffic control, and cut off HIV medication to 20m people in order to save ::checks notes:: 2/10th of a percent of the federal budget.

Been playing a lot of Forza Horizon 4 (the best Forza Horizon) on Steam Deck OLED with HDR and it’s such a profound shame Microsoft delisted it because that’s been such a wonderful way to play a magnificent game. Turned a bunch of settings down to get a consistent 60fps but it still looks gorgeous.

I just finished downloading all my kindle books and cross referencing them in my Calibre library to make sure each and every book I bought is now safely on my computer. As others have mentioned, amazon may very well start censoring/banning books you bought, so make sure you download them asap!

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”. This is a manifesto against disability. This is the language of eugenics.

A recent US presidential EO "refers to autism and other disabilities as 'a dire threat to the American people & our way of life.' This is fundamentally inaccurate. Autistic people have always been here, including before America existed. We aren’t new." autisticadvocacy.org/2025/02/asan... 1/2

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

Measles is ripping through communities in West Texas, and just in time, the melted Kennedy who built his career on anti-vax grift was confirmed by the Senate to run HHS. RFK Jr. isn’t just a joke—he’s the ruling class’s perfect frontman for gutting public health while calling it “freedom.”

i am going to put a finer point on this: executive orders are not laws. and they certainly are not royal decrees. they are interpretations of existing law for the purposes of enforcement. the fact that so many people are treating them as laws is actually driving me a bit insane.

Gaza's population was 2.3 million when Israel's genocide started. The US president is suggesting Israel continue the ethnic cleansing of all survivors that remain - which he says is 1.5 million Palestinians. Can anybody do the math on that because I'm hearing the US president say 800K were massacred

In preparation for today’s Super Bowl in New Orleans, state police forced over 100 homeless men and women onto buses under threat of arrest, dumping them in an unheated warehouse. Tents destroyed, belongings lost. Press are barred from the warehouse. The price tag for this cruelty? $17.5 million

Had my first healthcare worker refuse to mask for me. My chart is documented that I’m immune compromised & require staff to mask. The facility had a policy that if asked, staff will wear. I was told “no I need to breathe to do my job”. I stood firm & said I’m high risk and masks are required 🧵

Tuberculosis outbreaks in Kansas and North Carolina and yet I’ve not seen a single media outlet mention wearing masks. In fact masks are banned in North Carolina. A good respirator protects from more than just Covid. The people deserve to know how to keep themselves safe.
