Taxes or guillotines. We need to stop trading our freedoms for their excesses.

The most frustrating thing about the Xbox layoffs is that it’s not indicative of the good work the Xbox team has been doing. Microsoft is hemorrhaging money on AI slop and cutting costs on the area they probably think is less dedicated to the AI push. Probably also their most expensive division

Lazy camera work and mellow #corgi shenanigans. Yep, it’s a Sunday

I keep seeing the usual weird takes about this. There is real, effective science and international cooperation behind this. Interesting stuff

ā€œThe road to despotism.ā€ We’ve exited that road. We’re at the destination. Next step? Locking the gates.

Couldn’t articulate it any better. May your Juneteenth be joyful.

"That's not good."

Two things have been on my mind about this all day: 1. The White House is one of the most recognizable buildings in the world. It has a flag and didn’t need another just to scream USA USA! 2. I hope someone topples that shit with a tractor /rant

Wasn’t prepared for the motion of the new loading screen and it triggered my vertigo LOL. Still luv it. #ESO

Anti–offshore wind groups target $426M grant for California port #CA: A big-budget offshore wind project that would clean up a contaminated California port and turn it into America’s first hub for floating wind turbines is the latest target of an increasingly emboldened… #windpower #windenergy

Slap a mute on that spalpeen. Let him shout into the void.

Hey cool we're going to do "trade adjustment assistance" for rural hospitals, putting like 10 cents into a jar after you take out a billion dollars, that'll do it

Chuck Schumer thinks trans rights are a distraction from protecting healthcare. Under President Biden, Chuck Schumer voted to take away trans healthcare from military families.

Hasn’t this day just been a hoot

We already have a nearly trillion-dollar military budget and nobody can say definitively where all the money goes. But the GOP will throw another $156 billion on the pile for dubious items like the Golden Dome. Great piece from @emmarjanssen.bsky.social: prospect.org/politics/202...

Apropos of nothing…Yeats repeating in my head … The darkness drops again; but now I know That twenty centuries of stony sleep Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle, And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

Upon reflection, I’m glad I live in a nation where the military isn’t great at marching for rulers. Let’s try to keep it that way

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

@npr.org ā€œbutā€? Really? Our wannabe dictator wastes a fortune dick waving and you’re trying to associate the protesters directly with the assassinations to downplay the real danger this country is in?
