Incredibly angry about this every day.

The people who pick on trans kids are not only disgusting freaks who want to inspect children's genitals, they're also miserable bullies who break the rules of decency laid down by every measurement of morality.

The White House position is that it is no big deal that Putin is helping Iran try to kill US soldiers.

Always remember rule #1. Putin can do no wrong in Trump’s eyes.

Wonder why that is?

Man, I hate when when you’re sitting there, in a chat, and slurs just walk on in all by themselves like somebody turned on a faucet

The FCC Just Made It Harder to Get Low-Income Internet. Why Critics Are Calling It a 'War on the Poor' Stricter enrollment requirements will make it more difficult to qualify for this federally funded low-income internet program. State and local resources may help fill the gap.

the FCC is ending a $9.25-a-month internet subsidy to the poorest American families because a few million dollars went to dead people (the war in Iran has already cost $5 billion)

Silent slaughter - josimarfootball.com Enough footballers were killed by the Iranian Islamist regime in the space of forty-eight hours in January to make up two full teams. Fifa’s response? Silence.

New for @josimarfootball.bsky.social. I wish to express thanks and my admiration to Zohreh Abdollahkhani, who found the courage and the strength to write this heart-rending piece, commissioned before Iran was attacked by the US and Israel.

I Think Mac and iPad Will Merge. Does MacBook Neo Prove My Point or Make It Irrelevant? Commentary: I can see a future that could almost be here, and I've been waiting for. Does anyone else care, though? My wife says no, Scott, they don't.

Come sit and listen to my yearly rant on iPad and Mac converging and then wonder if I’m right…or if it matters. www.cnet.com/tech/computi...

idgaf how much I'm paying at the pump, Senator, people are dead and the region is in chaos. I would prefer my elected representatives condemn illegal and immoral warmongering, rather than focus on this vapid "affordability" nonsense

Tech Publications Lost 58% of Google Traffic Since 2024 | Growtika We tracked the organic search traffic of CNET, Wired, The Verge, TechRadar, and six others from early 2024 to today. Combined, they lost 65 million monthly visits.

i do really like how it shifts the notion from "refs make mistakes, this is unacceptable" to "yes, refs, make mistakes, and it is your job to navigate that".
