I know someone who wrote a righteously indignant one star review of TurboTax because he was extremely unhappy the CD was packaged in a cardboard case instead of a plastic jewel case. Zero mention of the actual software. And who buys software on CDs in this century?
One common response to Moltbot is something like "We're so cooked."
We are pretty cooked. Not because Moltbots will bootstrap us to the Singularity. Just because people readily turn their hard drives and personal info over to programs they don't understand.

Illegally withholding billions in transportation infrastructure funding to get shit named after you isn’t just an instantly impeachable offense, it should get you laughed out of public life forever.
Instead it’s just, “Well, at least he isn’t killing people.”

A lot of people (not Philip Glass) seem to be going with "I'm going to collaborate with the regime, maybe that will help change things." This rarely works, especially when "collaboration" is not how the regime really thinks about it.

Alex Pretti’s coworkers take a moment of silence this morning
A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.
Bovino, as required for a Trump Administration job, is a shameless liar. What’s scarier than that is perhaps 25 to 35% of the nation are totalitarian-souled bootlickers eager to believe him. How do you make a nation out of people like that?

Gov. Walz to MS NOW:
"Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system … is a dangerous, authoritarian tactic.
"The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her."
I have certainly learned that we live amongst some really horrible people.
What to Do If ICE Invades Your Neighborhood. there’s no single right way to approach this dangerous moment. But there are steps you can take to stay safe—and have an impact. www.wired.com/story/what-t...
Oh, I’m so sorry. Betty was such a beautiful dog.
🚨 The White House is now actively covering up a murder.
FBI taking over the "investigation" in Minnesota equals a coverup. The rule of law is dead. Trump's Gestapo will kill with impunity and immunity. This wasn't the United States. It is now.
Walz, Ellison push back on FBI takeover of shooting probe

Renee Nicole Good was 37. She was murdered by an ICE agent in the street in broad daylight. What really happened to her will not be forgotten, minimized, or ignored.
The fact that he not only got away with it but got re-elected is a stunning indictment of our government, media, educational system, and society.
Mayor Jacob Frey: “To ICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis.”
The destruction doesn't make for a photo-op like tearing down the East Wing of the White House or bulldozing the Rose Garden, but it's every bit as bad. Generations of American children learned to spell and count, learned the Preamble to the Constitution, from watching shows produced by the CPB.
Another institution capriciously demolished. Another sad day in America.
To sum up, a US president is going to war without congressional authorization against a sovereign nation that has not attacked or threatened it, and is doing so like a thief in the night, with no explanation for the American people or the world. It is all so unimaginable that it strains credulity.
We laugh, but I do wonder about the extent to which this syndrome has degraded all sorts of writing. Thanks to the internet, writers are constantly exposed to all sorts of silly and thoughtless responses, and worry too much about how to avoid provoking them. You can’t!
Three million people live in Caracas, five million in the metro area. It's one of the densest cities in South America. Remember this in the morning when they try to spin this as anything other than a cold-blooded attack on a major civilian center.
Merry Christmas and happy holidays to all! May you all be with/find a person who GETS you 🥰 #science #stirlingengine #christmas 🧪
Oh, I almost forgot about this gem.

Absolutely everything is a rant. His videos are hilarious.
And I forgot, he does want to harvest radio waves for energy. All we have to do is repeal the inverse square law. Though I’m not sure what powers the radio transmitters.
His energy policy seems to consist of hating every single form of energy production.
His performance in the primaries for a Michigan House seat was less than stellar. He’s mostly known for losing his temper.
This guy is running for governor of Michigan. I seem to have upset him by asking him a question about his energy policy.
Every accusation is a confession. Conservative groups release a proposal to destroy academic research and shape universities into indoctrination centers, with strict ideological gatekeeping.
