Left Twitter aka X but need to tidy up? @micahflee.com has developed a new tool, Cyd, that can archive and mass delete old posts. It works like a web browser rather than use X's API. Plans are for eventual Mastodon, Bluesky, Facebook compatibility: cyd.social/delete-all-y... #infosec

LOL: Congressman says "we have to have the stomach" to cut Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare but when asked about cutting the military budget, suddenly he's opposed. Q: Do you believe the defense budget should be cut? Rep. Rich McCormick: "I'm not a big fan of that."

When Trump came into office in 2016 he had a 2 vote majority in the Senate and a 13 vote majority in the House. He currently has a 2 vote majority in the Senate and a 2 vote majority in the House. Plus additional vaccancies from appointments, the GOP would only have a 1 vote majority in the House.

@marcelias.bsky.social: "Trump wants you to be fearful because he thinks that if you are fearful, you will capitulate, you will give in, you will pull your punches. And if you do that, 2 things will happen. Number 1, you give up your integrity. But number 2, Donald Trump then knows he’s got you."

Jaw-dropping story about a billionaire who duped women into donating their eggs so he could have a brood of blonde, blue-eyed children. The "project" continued even when he was behind bars (and he's probably going back to prison, leaving the kids' care to nannies). Free link:

With Trump getting back into office, Republicans will finally do what they've been salivating to do for four long years. The investigation of Hunter Biden's huge hog will begin.

I am screenshotting rather than QP'ing this because I don't want to drive traffic, and also because it's important in general: there are many, many post-Trump grifters out there and you can recognize them by the fact that they ... simply have not existed before now. Such as this one.

New from me: Two influencers make very similar content promoting Amazon products. They dress the same. They buy the same stuff. They even have a similar tattoo. Now one is suing the other, claiming her rival won't stop copying her. But who influenced whom? www.theverge.com/2024/11/26/2...

Quite minor in the grand scheme of things, but one thing I think blue states (and CA in particular) should be doing if we morph into tariffsland is require companies operating in the state (above some size) to list the price of tariffs on receipts separately

You can really tell how badly Twitter/X throttles links by comparing the same @mississippifreepress.org posts on X (left) vs. on BlueSky—now that both accounts have about the same number of followers. Mini 🧵

Trump has vowed to crack down on universities involved in misinformation research, or what he dubs the "censorship cartel" - e.g. by curbing funds to those that have "flagged content for removal”, or legal threats “I'm pretty fucking scared," one professor tells me. www.ft.com/content/bfb4...

I just saw a transwoman enter the female toilet and she immediately transed my gender. Sure hope the ladies don't notice at the next brunch meeting. I can't afford all those mimosas on my own.
