Former Bucks County man who voted twice for Trump convicted of voter fraud Matthew Laiss claimed he was covered by pardons given by President Donald Trump to supporters who tried to overturn the 2020 election.

Oh, look, an actual case of voter fraud! www.inquirer.com/crime/bucks-...

Deevers' bill would make it punishable by 10 years in prison to POSSESS smut.

Deevers has also:
- Signed onto the initiative to overturn Obergefell

- Wants to ban furries

Markwayne Mullins will have to resign his senate seat if confirmed to head DHS, triggering a special election for that seat. One of the people likely to run for that seat is Oklahoma legislator Dusty Deevers.

Deevers just introduced a bill to outlaw pornography in Oklahoma.

House kills effort to release all congressional sexual misconduct and harassment reports Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., had forced the vote in light of allegations that her Republican colleague Tony Gonzales of Texas sent sexual text messages to a subordinate.

The vote was 357 to 65. Very bipartisan issue!

Bicycle gymnastics is another one of those sports where "extreme athletics" and "circus tricks" are indistinguishable. (No slur on circus performers, either, those people are professional and live in their bodies.)

U.S. Congresswoman from Florida says there is evidence of β€˜interdimensional beings’ U.S. Rep.Β Anna Paulina Luna faced questions on Thursday after she said there was evidence of β€œinterdimensional beings.”

Some people will do anything to avoid thinking about their responsibilities to this world and these our people. (No, that's not a typo.) I wonder what she'd think if I discussed "projecting 4d images of the Buddha into a 3d space" with her.

There are six registers one can use to send function arguments in assembly language. They're named (quite logically, hah!) di, si, dx, cx, 8, 9. Today I learned the mnemonic for this is "Diane's Silk Dress Costs $89."

I realized today that one thing I can say is that I've never worked at a place where my job was enshittification. I think that's pretty good.

Maybe you're too cool to be involved with model boats, but that probably means you've never seen a Russian submarine being chased by an angry Moorhen:)

Welcome to the last throes of the petrostates as the world gets serious about decarbonization. It's a shame the reason isn't "Because pollution and greenhouse gases will kill us." No, it' just "It's cheaper" and "Commodity fuels put sovereignty at risk."

But I'll take what I can get.

This is an astounding leap forward in charge technology and energy density. BYD is legitimately cleaning the clock of everyone in the EV space right now and it’s a shame we don’t import them. BUT, the infrastructure needed to enable these Blade platforms is insane. 1500 kW charging is insane.

Why isn't anyone pushing back on that claim? "When Joe Biden left office, the United States had the fastest-growing economy in the world! Now we're stalled, shedding jobs, and facing rampant inflation. People are losing their homes."

At a job I held, one of the other people on my team asked me how long I had been programming. I told her, "My Emacs configuration folder is older than you are."

That was 10 years ago.

... when the puriteens in the fandom get like this, I admit, I do have thoughts of "I have fursonas are older than you."

Just saw something I wanted to run, downloaded it, unzipped it and... what the? What the heck is a `.vb` file? (opens a file at random). Oh. Oh no. No, no no. Not in 2026. Visual Basic!?

Who the heck is writing Visual Basic in 2026?

Bronies, that's who.
