Man the more I use Wn11 the more it annoys me and the more I like GNOME or KDE

I guess I'll just say if you're gonna do this probably use some secondary secure email address, in case that's not obvious

This is, again, a repeat of Elon's Twitter takeover. They made the same stupid demand.

I wonder what else America experienced from 1870 to 1913? Oh yes, maybe *the highest immigration rates relative to population of basically any country in history*

Always a good predictor of a person’s politics when they really put stock in IQ

PRAMS is the source of data for basically every effort to limit infant mortality and all the health dangers mothers face before and after birth. So a pretty big deal the Elon and Co decided to cancel the program.

We're not accepting new followers at this time. If it's an emergency and you need to read the posts of an alternative rock band i can refer you to wheatus

Coming around to the view that a certain kind of narcissist simply needs Musk to be a genius rather than a fraud, because they want to believe there’s a hereditary Brahmin class of accomplished, beautiful minds—and that they’re a part of that class.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

One question I always want to ask these silly oligarchs and tech bros who shout about their high IQs is whether they've spent decades trying to dick-swing some perfunctory elementary-school assessment or whether they actually paid psychologists as adults to tell them what geniuses they are.

discovered that Little Caesar’s has an Apple Watch app and it’s just this image that you can’t interact with in any way

I have some questions.

This … fits

How many child cancer researchers did they fire to pay for this?

Anti-DEI is an attack on civil rights by segregationists. Most white "allies" are completely silent while segregationists attack Black people and our civil rights. These silent "allies" without a shred of shame or self-awareness, fully expect Black voters to make sacrifices to save them at midterms

America has a critical shortage of silog spots. I really want Tocilog right now.

UPDATE: Meta is continuing to censor anti-Musk ads. It has removed a Facebook ad calling for a boycott of Tesla, saying that it violates the company's policy on "unacceptable business practices" muskwatch.com/subscribe

If Luigi walks because of David Zaslav and Eric Adams I will laugh so hard I will probably have a stroke and die.

Every so often I remember that Oprah brought us Dr Phil, Dr Oz and The Secret but the only person she brought back to destroy on her show was the guy who pretended to be a worse drug addict than he actually was in a book

"The American voter does not want bold solutions or radical change; they want a practical, balanced candidate who will concede an election with elegance and grace."

One aspect of doing a political purge of the military and civil service is you can't come back in afterwards and just revert to status quo ante policies. A counter-purge becomes a necessity before you can then restore usual norms and protections. The people he's installing can't be left in place.

Schumer would win back many doubters if he responded to that letter from Ed Martin in crayon: “Dear Ed, gargle my balls. -Chuck”

A question for education policy experts: Assume the ABA stuck to its guns on the DEI standards. (1) How much discretion does the Department of Ed have to remove the ABA as the accreditor? (2) When could DOE do that? (3) What would the likely replacement accreditor be? I'm over my head in 34 CFR.🤷

Too bad gridiron football is the sports equivalent of toxic American exceptionalism lmao

No, sorry NYT, the correct headline is TRUMP EXTORTS UKRAINE FOR MINERAL CONCESSIONS; REFUSES TO OFFER SECURITY GUARANTEES

Prediction: the Nаzi salute will become common within 2 years. RWers will half-аss it for plausible deniability, memeify the backlash, then start fully doing it "as a joke" "to troll the libs" "for being hysterical enough to think we were doing it in the first place"

Real talk we all felt like this in the 90s and didn’t even have phones to express it with. We’d have to go to the pay phone and call collect

Replacing the military brass and attorneys with three-star generals you pluck from retirement is exactly what a dictator looking to use an army to do some violence does.

Of the Chiefs of Staff, vice chiefs of staff, and judge advocates general of the three branches, Trump fired all the women and Black people.

Ideally as YYYYMMDD so things sort properly

“I can’t believe these Nazis are being mean to me. I’ve shown them nothing but kindness and respect” pretty much sums up the Democrats right now
