Into. The. Sun.

He also brought twenty armed guards (and a medic?). They ate all your food, and ruined your toilet. He made too many “jokes” about impregnating things, chuckled, and left.

Thanks! I was actually cleaning up my comment (and fully RTFA) when I saw that AP link in middle there. Actual photos, great to see.

The first batch is possibly arriving in one city. (Pics or it didn’t happen, of course. AP delivers!) Well, that’s nice… at least they actually exist?! (That’s a bit of a low bar.) But congrats to the first drivers of these little ducks.

I’m worried it’s going to take another decade or three for the trucks to actually arrive in the numbers needed. Hopefully the USPS can survive our deplorable politics until then. They are invaluable for small businesses and keeping all mail couriers competitive.

Incitement to violence. They didn’t just follow the bus, they threatened and ran people off the road at high speeds. I guess that’s perfectly fine now in Texas, outside of city limits at least (where small town sheriffs decide which laws to enforce, and who to harass).

The guy supposedly won by like 15 points a few years ago (after barely winning previously). I know it’s unbelievable (along with Abbott’s fairly big win in Texas while killing people with power outages). But either they’re rigging elections (more projection, what a surprise!), or massive numbers of deplorables are flooding the state (and/or sane people are escaping).

That said, fuck 'em. This kind of pathetic, cruel, lawless behavior will continue escalating until there are real consequences. Wish we had a ruthless DOJ to harass them back at every step.

Putin begging for weapons from everyone, but only receiving garbage from North Korea and Iran. (While Zelenskyy receives quality tech from Europe and US, and Ukrainians impress with drones.) Heartwarming.

desperate scraping at the bottom of the barrel intensifies

But where does it end?! Next, they’ll want better health benefits or paid leave, AND 17G SUPER FAST MAGIC INTERNET THROUGH THE AIR! Please think of the poor shareholders…

I somehow forgot that the military loses the same freedoms and benefits that we all lose under GOP (religious extremists, deranged fascists, etc).

It’s ironic that free/subsidized healthcare and education, basic pillars of society that all Americans should enjoy (like most civilized countries), is instead used as some amazing military benefit. I guess we all just need to join the military! I can’t imagine who would even consider joining without these, at least for a generation or two (until forgotten). But as you said, healthcare especially is already being chipped away for many people.

I’m a bit surprised Xvideos is still viewable in “Tread on me, daddy!” states like Texas. (Maybe Paxton really thought it was Elen’s homemade porn site? Just kidding, it’s Czech owned, they can just ignore his deranged lawsuits. And now the most visited porn site in the world. Republicans are killing American jobs, confirmed.)

Revenue improves. “We did it! But… line must always go up!? More!” Enshittification will continue until death occurs.

Are benefits getting cut? Honestly. All I ever hear is about trying to get more health coverage, fix the VA, and nearly $1T annual budget.

I think this is what motivates me to play AC games the most: They really integrate accurate locations and history into their story (with plenty to read and learn about in menus, and even tour modes). I was especially impressed with Origins (Egypt) and Unity (France). Haven’t had time to play newer ones yet.

I think many people would like employers to stop wasting money (on stuff like amenities and activities that were not requested). Instead, make the job more attractive by listening and responding to actual concerns (like WFH, hours, wages).

Cheung and LaCivita are accused of the abuse. And they are both completely rabid animals so it’s no surprise. But yeah, so weird that the entire T**** team is infested with these types of people.

Please use his real name: Jeffrey Dahmer Vance.

They now have three ultra wealthy, absurdly out of touch, despised weirdos on the ticket. Two with catastrophic mental illness and cognitive decline. One with a Handmaid’s Tale (and couch) fetish. Backed by a handful of other billionaires from Musk to Thiel to Adelson to crypto lords. It’s a desperate and frankly pathetic strategy. In a free and fair election, with a moderately intelligent electorate, they would be crushed…

I have as much faith in Nikki “doing the right thing” as I do Melania. They’ve bent the knee and kissed the ring mushroom micropenis, and made it very clear who they are. We should listen.

I’ve finally made one tiny step into the Linux pool: Replacing my little old Plex server & NAS (mini PC, Windows 10) with… an even tinier Raspberry Pi 5.

It’s been nice to finally have an excuse to start learning Linux: commands, bash scripts, ssh, samba shares, etc. I’ve always admired lean, portable FOSS, so it’s way overdue.

The “Sign in with Google” popups on virtually every site? It’s nuts. I was just trying to figure this out today. Try these or these.
