And it gets me wondering. How much other awful stuff have previous Administrations been able to wiggle subtlety through these gaps of legal process and follow-through.
What has been really wild to learn as a layman is just how many incredibly important things lean precariously on gentleman's or common-sense agreements.
So much shit needs to be locked down once we're able to wrench some semblance of actual control back.
Once you’re locked into someone’s cloud for software you use, they control what you pay, when, and whether or not you can even migrate elsewhere. Never expect your cloud software or service to exist forever. Never expect it to get better over time. Always expect it to get more expensive.
literally your customer base was 90% parents of young children who want a good future for their kids in which they can be free to be themselves, no matter who they are. you told those people to go fuck themselves. they won't be back
Hundreds Show Up for the ‘Coldest Night of the Year’ in Solidarity with Bucks County’s Unhoused and Hungry | “We’re trying to raise awareness that homelessness and hunger are a part of our community and that it takes the community to help us address those issues,” said BCOC CEO Erin Lukoss.
That's a lot of folks I'd love to support, but they're still on that damn platform.
At some point, I'm hoping writers realize that they're losing more potential eyeballs and income by sticking with Substack. It's a freaking blog with weblinks and a Stripe processor. This isn't big brain web tech.
If they want me back they have to go fully Woke 2, sorry. Whole hog. I gotta be able to get an abortion there
A standing reminder: a small handful of Republicans in Congress could stop this chaos tomorrow. They simply choose not to.
Oh goodness! Haven't thought about this in a while! Grandpa worked at the Ma Bell and his den reused a wooden cable spool as a coffee table. Pretty sure the company logo was left in place when he stained it to match his decor. I don't think I've thought about it in over 20 years!

What happened in Kansas is *exactly* why you need to get rid of Newsom at the primary.
He will not protect trans people.
He will not protect homeless people.
He will not protect anyone.He considers outside of the cultural norm.
... that's Republican shit.
Ooo! I love the artwork on the postcard! Is that a new piece too? It hit me in the feels.
Picking up your phone is like walking into a room and forgetting why you went in there, but you stand in that room for an hour.
Oh yeah. Absolutely. I wouldn't be surprised if the VCs behind Soylent/Huel/etc of the last decade and the ones currently trying to cram AI into everything are the exact same people.
And as someone who admits to liking Soylent: Its coffee flavor was helpful when I just couldn't stomach actual food for the first half of the day. (Thankfully that isn't an issue anymore!)
The insanity was the tech bros trying to use it as a complete replacement for all nutritional intake! 😱
With hunger suppression drugs such as Ozempic, there's a growing demographic of folks struggling with protein deficiancy due to said suppression. While it's absolutely not the sole driver of this fad, there's an increase of appeal to products that pack on the protein.
Heads up folks: @thetnholler.bsky.social posted an AI-generated video this morning that was a deepfake of the captain of the U.S. women’s hockey team, and they seem to be promoting it as if it’s a real video. So watch out for that and don’t spread fakes.
WE! ARE! LIVE!
Tune in as @tekla.bsky.social sets the virtual stage for an absolute kick-ass lineup for fuck-the-fascists mutual aid featuring some of your Bluesky faves!

is life just a series of days where you're tired in the afternoon and wide awake at night, running behind on weekly deadlines, and seeing pants get slim and big and then slim again over the years until you die?
Okay, those all sound cool. Time to add them to my TBR list.
Also. Random eel facts!
How wonderful, the snow has finally melted down enough that I can see parts of the yard! Now to take a nice sip of hot coffee while I read this weekend weather report
People talk about this stuff in terms of how much it'll suck for gaming and I hate to inform you how many MRI machines, X-Rays, all sorts of other vital machinery are just a Windows IoT Edition PC in a beige plastic box with a big magnet/accelerator/whatever attached.

Huge announcement: Girl Scouts on our trans girl scout cookies list have sold 250,000!!!!!! Boxes of girl scout cookies, a record for EITM's trans girl scout cookie drive.
Some have only sold 20 boxes though. I put those at the top of the list.
Lets close out this season and make their day! :)
I was building fandom websites at that age. (Mid-90s) Teaching myself HTML and authoring it in Windows Notepad. I would absolutely not be in the industry I'm in today if not for that initial technical curiosity as a kid.
an elder in Boston spent his life building a one-of-a-kind radical library, but he's aging and it needs a new home. Cooperation Jackson has agreed to take it, but they need help shipping it all there.

‘One officer told me that I "had no chance of returning to Minnesota" and that "the best thing for (me] is self-deportation." …
She offered me $2600 to self-deport.
I refused.
I wanted to talk to my attorney.
They didn't tell me the judge had already ordered my release and return to Minnesota.’
We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”
