I haven’t used Yelp in years but the last time I did, the mobile version of the site was completely non-functional, doing the same thing, forcing the app. Switching to “Desktop Mode” worked though.

Musk got the video from the West Bestern account

An infinite number of Musks sitting at infinite computers, with infinite Adobe licenses, still wouldn’t be able to produce any original content

When I saw the commercial for this movie all I could think of was that King of the Hill episode where Peggy tries selling houses by staging cheesy family plays about the house

probably watch it on PBS Detroit and will be checking out the Daily Show live episode whenever it comes out on youtube.

Nobody ever suspects the butterfly

need to make sure their grandchildren get great jobs at the FAANG corporations while insider trading their way to golden retirement

yeah the democrats were obviously also supposed to offer him full reign over the CDC, NIS, USDA and all that to lure him in… and because they told him to fuck off, it’s clearly them with the character flaw

The goal of the Lincoln Project is to give Steve Schmidt and Rick Wilson “generational wealth”

I really enjoy the channel, watch them all even when they’re comparing things I have no need for whatsoever lol

Project Farm tested a bunch of them and used a decibel meter, results at 7:04-7:30

After IKEA stopped sending catalogues by mail I think Lee Valley might be one of the only ones left. Although last year Amazon sent me a fairly thin Christmas Gift Guide which was somewhat bizarre but hit the nostalgia for these.

This has been news in Canada for about a year, story after story about people getting sucked in and losing tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars. When it’s not Musk it’s Justin Trudeau, same M.O.

You’d think if these people read the news outlets they share their stories with that they would have seen one of the articles already because they’re so common. But then again people still take Sunwing package vacations then complain to the news when it’s subpar so idk.

Edit to add I blame big tech more than the scam victims, they have no protections in place and are profiting off the scammers immorally as well. They should have to manually review these things or at least be responsive to user reports and they’re doing neither. I actually know someone who got banned from Meta products for reporting too many scam ads.

Works both ways too, Sam Bankman Fried apparently fooled a lot of people by cosplaying as a Toyota Corolla driver

Greg Gutfeld. Apparently he gets the highest ratings in all of late night.

I scroll Lemmy by ‘new’ and what I see is either interesting or not to me, and I see some really good memes, get a decent overview of news stories, and learn some neat things. There aren’t really local channels active for where I am.

I scroll Reddit by /all and what I see actively annoys me, is paywalled, is a repost, or is ragebait (or EPIC PWN RESPONSES to ragebait). I go to my local subreddits and there’s some value among all the paywalled content, repetitive text posts of whinging (stuff like tipping culture, driving habits, the less fortunate downtown etc.), and an overall domination of obviously AI-generated Alexa-like questions followed by sus answers.

I’d scroll Lemmy by ‘new’ any day over Reddit anything, other than for local news events/stories and for sports live threads.

Empi-purr State of Emergency

from what I understand in the US when you get elected to the House or Senate, you have your regular work schedule, then the party forces you into a boiler room call centre across the street for a few hours to work the phones and hustle more cash. It really does never end.

Looks like ol’ Johnnie Turner forgot to turn
