The last time someone tried to sell oil in anything other than the US dollar, his country was invaded under false pretenses.

have you seen exTwitter?

The only cracks here is that the senate are all a bunch of olds who don’t understand the internet.

‘Kids Online Safety Act’ will deliberately target trans content, senator admits

He’s a granddad. We shouldn’t have granddads who can’t work a remote be president. I assume he can’t work a remote.

It is a for profit place that has always put reach before speech. For-profit places are not bastions of free speech, they are bastions of making decisions that make them more money.

Ah. I guess I just use the one that comes with my iPhone.

TIL IBM owned the weather app.

The two indictments about Jan 6th and the plot to use fake electors offer a detailed look at a conspiracy. This isn’t just mob talk about “it would be awesome if this happened” – there is evidence of a coordinated effort to create fake electors and attempt to steal an election. The act of creating fake electors is a crime. The conspiracy to create fake electors is a crime.

All of these things are a crime. The problem is, in America, people who have power are held to a higher standard. Trump will get all sorts of concessions, and slow this down like mad. What he also has is an entire network carrying water for him. Because of Fox News – which was started to avoid another Nixon, he gets to both sides this.

Can’t even block nazis.

Okay, thank you for setting me straight.

This is why we can’t have nice things.

Facts are behind a paywall and bullshit flows for free.

Corporations invented Jaywalking to pass the problem of death by vehicle from the manufacturer to the victim. Corporations invented the concept of Litterbug to shift blame from the makers of trash to the disposers of trash. Corporations invented the concept of the personal carbon footprint to shift the blame from the makers of carbon to the users of carbon.

This is just the same thing. Corporations are good at this.

See you next summer.

This will be the coolest summer you ever experience.

The top comments on X are some idiotic take by an asshat with an agenda and $8. This isn’t debate, it is idiocy.

Fan of The Arsenal.

This is why we need better education in the US.

Also, this is why we can’t have healthcare. We don’t know why we deserve it.

I was talking to a person once about single-payer Canadian healthcare. And she said, but what if someone doesn’t work? Should they still get it?

[I mean, yes.]

I said, how come you don’t ask that question about cops and firefighters? You don’t say, well if someone doesn’t work, should the firefighter’s come to their house if there is a fire? We have single-payer police insurance and single-payer firefighter insurance.

But after the fire, you’re on your own!

America! Fuck, yeah.

I deleted my account. That probably showed 'em.

And the shoreline!

The comments are full of nuclear bros who think nuclear is the answer. Something about sun and wind not working everywhere.
