@edzitron.com I'd love to hear you have a chat with @infrequently.org about the #applebrowserban, I extremely rarely see crashes on Android myself

Gen X in Germany support for the AfD is disappointing

NEW — 19-year-old DOGE engineer Edward Coristine turns out to be the grandson of former KGB spy Valery Martynov, who played a role in a sprawling 1980s espionage saga. www.jacobsilverman.com/p/prominent-...

Why it is time to say goodbye to Germany as an oasis of stability, and why ironically it was JD Vance in Munich who might have helped the centrist parties to get a grip now after all. My take on the most important elections in a generation on Sunday in Berlin. 👇👇

A landmark win in the ART by @mrrexpatrick.bsky.social and stern warning to public servants over FOI cover-ups #auspol michaelwest.com.au/art-maugean-...

Simply type: tab age You'll discover a smattering of 99 year olds, a few 100 year olds, a couple of 101 year olds, and a pileup of 150 year olds, but no-one in their 130s or 140s.

TRUMP: WILL CONSIDER COUNTRIES THAT USE A VALUED-ADDED TAX SYSTEM AS TARIFF

Brianna Keilar: Do you think that calling Elon Musk a dick is effective messaging? Congressman Robert Garcia: Well, he is a dick.

You think #CFML and #cfscript is a dead platform? It's not, and when well written, its elegance and simplicity beats chasing the next nodeJS library any day. 😂 Anyway - submit talks for CFCamp 2024 (June 24 in Munich), the Call For Papers is open now: papercall.io/cfcamp2024 #Lucee #ColdFusion
