Hell yeah

That thing where a shit ton of snow melts and can’t go anywhere because the plow covered your drain with 3 feet of snow that’s now turned to ice and you didn’t deal with it because you were sick and thought someone else did (even though it was your job, not theirs).

The GOP letting an admin so hostile to the basic concept of the United States just shows how absolutely uninterested they actually are in the notion of a constitutional republic.

Curious what Hegseth is worried top military lawyers will be a roadblock to…

Absolutely sums up why I’m so annoyed at the DNC…

today in reposting good news:

Regardless of you individual political views, the work the government does is super important… we depend on it as a society in ways we often don’t even realize. You can only undermine it *so much* before really bad things start to happen, and fixing what they’re breaking is going to be a nightmare.

Next, they’re going to assign work based on who shouts “not it” the slowest…

Also…call. Write actual paper letters. Show up. Do the maximum you can manage. Higher effort communications are weighted more heavily and stand out more.

IMO, this is murder.

Seriously, I don’t care if you use this app or like me prefer to just send emails, but if you’re not writing your reps, senators, etc… you’re missing out on something that can actually change their behavior… even if you agree with them, tell them. It matters!

😂

You can say what you want about differing views on the nominal role of the US in international conflict, but this is extortion against an ally in wartime. Beyond the immediate harm this does to Ukraine, it will damage us in ways that are difficult to predict for decades to come.

Trump’s not a serious national security person, but his actions based on his personal bias are a serious threat to national security.

Bullying may work in business deals, it doesn't work when there are incompatible strategic interests

Going to be absolutely wild when Trump is out of office and all these people start getting prosecuted…

This is a Republican lead committee that is apparently silent outside of issuing a report while CISA is being gutted and NIST is being put against the wall. The know nothings are in charge. And that should scare absolutely everyone. industrialcyber.co/critical-inf...

Movies you've watched more than six times, gifs only!

Jesus Christ these people are absolutely the only ones in a position to do something about this and they won’t… because they’re morally bankrupt cowards.

If I screwed up enough to get called out by Dolly Parton, I'd write a *formal* letter of apology, wander in the woods until I found my soul, and then spend the rest of my days trying to make things right. My god.

Hell yeah

<auditor>and what kind of encryption are you using to protect your data at rest? <me>Cryptolocker <auditor>is that AES-256?

One thing I miss about the old site is that I had enough followers that occasionally a really dumb take would get going after being RTd by a big account and I’d worry about having cooked off my career with a 3 am shitpost.

Bread and circuses

Just to be clear, a guy who’s been convicted of fraud and his hand chosen people are going to go to Fort Knox to tell us wHaTs ReAlLy gOiNg oN!!1!!!

If you have zero education, and learn to ask AI models the right question, you'll have no idea when it starts hallucinating and you'll confidently repeat things that make no sense to anyone who actually has expertise in the field.

There’s nothing efficient about destroying COVID tests that are already paid for.

The thing about accelerationists, is that they're actually trying to make everything worse as fast as possible... it's literally their whole deal.

You know who isn’t going to feel the economic hardship, and may actually profit from it? Billionaires.

Things that really shouldn't need to be said, but somehow do.
