🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

So today is the anniversary of other things besides the Soviet Red Army or "Fatherland Defenders' Day" *spits* www.aljazeera.com/opinions/202...

This methodology outlined by Flossie really should become a sticky at the top of the forums and put on the splash page as a public service. community.secondlife.com/forums/topic...

Cristiano is a D-bag of course for so many reasons but he's sure right about this expose of massive copyright theft of streaming services' content in SL. community.secondlife.com/forums/topic... I hav a narrower concer. If they get gone does that mean Zindra land may increase in value again?

Musk and his army of dipshits on Twitter keep pointing to Bill Clinton’s federal worker reduction in the 1990s to defend Trump. The difference? Congress passed a law that Clinton signed, he didn’t just get the nearest billionaire to illegally start dismantling the government based on his whims.

Good that a few people in Labour have got a spine. More please.

While working from home in 2020, civil rights groups sued the U.S. Post Office to get ballots delivered, sued 3 states to allow access to absentee voting, recruited over 40,000 new poll workers, ran an election protection system and still had time to sue Trump under the KKK Act after the election.

You mean he was *unbanned* by Musk after first being banned for posting some of the worst CSAM around.

Trump punishment of AP for its steadfastness on Gulf of Mexico “is more than just another case of the president and his team being petty and vindictive. It’s also an effort designed to divide the D.C. press corps.” The WH press corps has, as yet, failed to act in solidarity with the AP.

BRDMRT Plush-E avatar. It's a stuffed animal avatar. The basic design is a floppy-eared dog. (There were other parts too) It's almost the same size as Dinkie. You can use Dinkie's props without any trouble. Isn't this a bit too big? Clothes aren't allowed though ^^ #Secondlife #SLJP

This is the way… “The elected officials in Washington have to stop protesting in Washington. They have to go back to their districts…show the consequences…show the school that isn’t operating…they have to make it real.” With social media, word will spread to neighboring districts—even red ones.

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

I think this is a really instructive article to read and reflect on about the entire Musk purchase of Twitter, and what it got him, and the downmarket effect of all that debt being purchased. I think most people don't think about debt as a value. www.marketwatch.com/story/elon-m...

For all their talk about copyright battles, the Lindens currently do not have an easy way to report violation of OTHER people's IP you spot, like this item, for sale for 100L on the MP: marketplace.secondlife.com/p/underworld... Which was swiped from Simon Haastrup psd.fanextra.com/tutorials/ph...

Say what you will about Warren but I have zero doubt she knows the actual function of every wire Musk and the skibidi crew are chewing on

I wrote about DeepSeek and national security for my latest @gzeromedia.com AI column:

This is not going to happen and he is saying it to hijack the news cycle while something else is going to happen here in the U.S. Don’t get distracted.

new reporting that Elon is instructing GSA, the agency that manages government worksites, to terminate the leases for all (!) federal offices nationwide: apnews.com/article/trum...

hey man how is the collaboration with sociopathic authoritarians going

More than 8,000 web pages across more than a dozen U.S. government websites have been taken down since Friday afternoon, a NYT analysis has found, as federal agencies rush to heed President Trump’s orders targeting diversity initiatives and “gender ideology.” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/02/u...

Glad somebody besides me took up the banana theme. Inko Kaul's "Is This Art"? There's also a dancing banana by Nick Beorn, it being Second Life.

I liked this work by Scarlett Auster titled "Reporting for Duty" maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/E...

A lot of people have been asking for my DeepSeek take. Sorry it has taken so long to get this out the door, didn't expect it to take so long and I had a bunch of firm calls and interviews and such otherwise it would've been out yesterday. I'll turn into two episodes of the pod for Friday/Monday.

EVEN SO, I still think if you rent my land there, nicely landscaped by Albane, that your view is really not so bad and will likely change in the spring. $735 - 500 prims for your use. Sky platform provided. maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/C...

I sometimes wonder: why isn't my land renting? Then I fly out there...and I get my answer. A purple love island with ban lines and a hulk of a vampire castle. At least the McDonald's plaza across the water was taken down.... This is in Carlisle

Interesting theory and excellent DeepSeek explainer by @binarybits.bsky.social www.understandingai.org/p/i-dont-bel...

Ran into an old tenant in the sandbox, she and her friend were riding in a fabulous Steampunk ship by KeiSpot Unfortanately I didn't get any pictures but just imagine!

Lovely water rental $600/600 prims, support the SL Land Preserve by the Historical Linden Moth Temple, sail to pristine Linden seas. Self-join group, refund any time. You get ban, media, etc. powers in the group. maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/I...

I finally updated the logo of my Ravenglass Virtualty, although it's a bit hinky, but a step up from the purple princess crown I put in 20 years ago. I don't know what that was supposed to represent. Come to my office to get the list of parcels at good prices. maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/R...

I found an old LM and landed directly at the old location of my first rentals agency store in Anshe's mall, Centre Ville, in Clunn. Now abandoned, like much of the sim. I still own the gorge and some of the top of the mountain. I like the ground texture, NW mountain. Nice houses nearby.

At Robert and Zoe's new homestead. They have a cool merry-go-round

I feel like a suburban matron - today I went to a house-warming party and a skating party. Here I am at Chioma's roller skating rink - what a cool idea for a party!
