New Twitter launches, says Musk's X gave up the name Get your shortnames while the getting’s good.

I used to schedule all these reminders for things I intended to do. They just made me irritated and feel bad as I kept delaying / rescheduling them. I don’t do that anymore, for the most part. I’ve stopped keeping track of the things I won’t do. If I think of it, I might take care of it. This only works because I’m now in a relationship with someone who makes sure I do the things that matter most.

Panic passes Trump tariff refunds back to the Playdate customers who paid them One of my favorite software companies of all time. Well, hardware too, these days.

Nerds missed old google five to ten years ago. It was crap way before the AI garbage, but agreed that they’re shoving bs on us.

Boebert’s office and her campaign have yet to respond, but her ex-husband, Jayson Boebert, has denied the allegations. “I think it is all a fairy tale made up propaganda,” Jayson Boebert said. “I don’t believe any of that. Bad sources.” Isn’t that the guy who exposed himself to her at a bowling alley or something similar? Credible.

Canada's retaliation tests the limit of American power under Trump Hear me out, guys. What if we just start shit with people for no reason. Wouldn’t that be great? /s

Check out the coffee table book, All Yesterdays. It’s half reinterpretations of known fossils, half artist renderings of contemporary animals based only on their skeletons. We’re obviously misinterpreting a lot of creatures going just off their skeletons and we’ll never know how they really appeared. As I recall, this is from the skeleton of a contemporary species of monkey, as an example:

We saw this same joke template shortly after ChatGPT was a thing. Almost exact, but now with Fable. Fake bullshit, though good chance that the original was authentic. The internet sucks now.

Meta agrees to pay $18 billion to settle US lawsuits over children's social media addiction Got off easy.

Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving asshole.

She and I could get married, but I’m spoken for. This is the kind of attitude I think mothers should teach daughters. “You’ll fuck (but be safe). He’ll also be inexperienced (still be safe). You’ll find out about good sex as an adult (don’t stop being safe!). And when you’re at the point that safety isn’t a concern, well… heh. Don’t worry about that for now.”

“He’s right, of course. That dirty slut he married got through.” Isn’t that sorta what you’re saying, JD?

There’s no “might” here. It’s why high-end TVs are cheap.

If you take away their right to break the law, how will you become the next trillionaire?! - Stupid right wing people

Wait! Are we not winning?! I thought that asshole said we’re winning. We must be winning. He said we’re winning. Winning?

The greatest gift of my career was getting old enough to not care.

You don’t have to be a dumbass to be racially bigoted and full of contradictions. My mother is a christian who gave me shit for telling a (harmless) joke involving Jesus years ago. Then she voted for she shit-bag three times. Fuck her.

Every time. And I’m halfway through life. I could do a web search, but who ever thinks of that except when this happens? Will I do a web search now? No. I have other stuff to think about. And so it goes.

It’s why I stopped buying milk.

The man who has been the most wrong on every case?! No, you’re being too hard on yourself.

Struggle to paste the path to a file. Seriously.

I go to sleep drunk a lot. I forget to turn off lights. My partner calls me out for it. I have not shame.

I demand much more. I want trials for war crimes. But, you know, ABUNDANCE of some shit. The present Dems party has proven time and again that they’ll fight their base rather than work for them. Repubs have a huge leg up in this area. They adapt. They get crazier. They elevate lunatics. That’s why they win. We need Leftists who say, “eff you” to moderates and right-leaning Dems (which is basically all Dems).

Wait, like Diane Feinstein? I have no faith in either party to actually give a fuck about us.

They’ll keep stoking stochastic violence while pretending that pouring something on Posie Parker is the same thing. If I hit you with a pie, I’m a terrorist. If they attack you, they’re going beyond the message. They’re gonna be killing us, if they have their way. That’s absolutely their goal.

That’s so fucking cool! I am a part of a union that is voting to strike. I realize that some people have financial opportunities in going through the military. Fuck you. War machine. Your fault.

Done you question mah ability to read stuffs. /s

Impose voting rights restrictions that reduce their access. Take the average life expectancy in your country, reduce the number by whatever the voting age is in your country. Cut off their right to vote by that number. In the USA, where you can vote at 18, if the average life expectancy is 81 (made up a number), voting would end after 63. Pretty good way to ensure longterm thinking prevails.

Why wouldn’t you track your political enemies, said the leftist.

I might hate the AI companies and SpaceX (while enjoying AI-coding), but this is some bs.

The best part, in my opinion, is the extra ending in Mark. This was the original ending, which is an absolute banger: When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that they might go to anoint Jesus’ body. 2 Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb 3 and they asked each other, “Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?” But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away. 5 As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed. “Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him. 7 But go, tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.'” Trembling and bewildered, the women went out and fled from the tomb. They said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid. This is in later versions, likely because someone copying the text found the ending to be insufficient: When Jesus rose early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had driven seven demons. She went and told those who had been with him and who were mourning and weeping. When they heard that Jesus was alive and that she had seen him, they did not believe it. Afterward Jesus appeared in a different form to two of them while they were walking in the country. These returned and reported it to the rest; but they did not believe them either. Later Jesus appeared to the Eleven as they were eating; he rebuked them for their lack of faith and their stubborn refusal to believe those who had seen him after he had risen. He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.” After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and he sat at the right hand of God. Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed his word by the signs that accompanied it. But remember, kids: the bible is all true and infallible and the word of god and whatever other crap they tell you. Criticism aside, I’m a hardcore atheist and reading about the history of early christianity (first ~300 years) was absolutely fascinating and I’d recommend checking out the subject to others who oppose organized religion. Bart Ehrman would be a good starting point, though can you go down quite a rabbit hole beyond his writing. This might be a good jumping off point: How Jesus Became God

This happens to me daily.

Does that old piece of shit look like that old piece of shit who was too old to hold office? How did I know to ask?

Fact checking a viral chart on US food stamps recipients’ race, ethnicity: US Department of Agriculture data reveals most recipients are white, US-born citizens, followed by minorities.

This is good messaging. I’m glad someone is making it explicit. I’ll bookmark this page and share it.

Software developers are on Mastadon, though. Big time.

Sensible laws? That’s not the world I grew up in. What the hell is happening. Punish users. That’s the only way they’ll learn.

They’re wrong. And even if they’re right, Dems won’t save us. They have no backbone.

Fuck these people. I’m Jane Doe.

Good. They vote against the future. Let them die. Seriously, we should cut off the right to vote when your life expectancy is shorter than most longterm decisions.

I bought an M1 MacBook Air as my first Apple Silicon Mac when they hit the market (longtime Mac user, so direct comparison to Intel Macs). It blew me away. Still have it, despite replacing it with a MBP. At this point, it’s the extra screen off to the side playing videos while I nerd out in my office, though it can do much more.

I appreciate you bringing facts to an increasingly online world.

Just because their goal may not be explicitly pushing far right nationalism doesn’t mean it’s ok to ignore. They must be shunned. Their political messaging is hate and none of us should support or condone that.

The one most directly under your hand is such my friend! Lost one who had an eye infection that wasn’t properly diagnosed as a symptom of a worse thing. I really hope your kitties get healthy. Holy shit, so cute!
