The Elders of The Internet know who I am. I'm a product owner who loves my developers...so I'm a tech-adjacent woman in tech. I love reading, learning new things, cats, British TV, sci-fi, and satire. Oh, and I've just discovered I love Irish humor.

There will be no shortage of PhD dissertations studying and trying to catalog all the grift & fraud this administration condoned or gleefully participated in. THAT will be Trump's legacy.

Wait some two fuckwit DOGE bros with no background in the humanities just fed a bunch of words like "equality" and "tribal" into ChatGPT, based on their fuckwit tech bro prejudices and MAGA fantasies, and used the results to cancel a whole boatload NEH grants-- did I get that right

Now would be a good time for anyone who wants to learn about recent Iranian history to read this. It is well worth your time and money (I am sure your local library has it if you don’t want to purchase it).

Also, how stupid do they have to be to think if we could have used this against Trump, that we wouldn't have. He's on there >1M times.

Even if they were 100% right, is the argument that since the Dems didn't prosecute the pedos we should just drop it? I don't care if they want to blame us as long as the guilty finally pay. So this❓is only, as ever, another excuse to cover up the crimes.

Before 2016, I knew racism was real & systemic in the academic way that I understood what would happen if I jumped off the roof of a building. After 2016, I am on the roof & everyone who voted for him is actively trying to push me off simply b/c my parents weren't born here & we speak Spanish.

The updated total of children killed is 57.

Anyone thinking that US-Israel massacres of Iranian people will "liberate" anything but markets & resources must contend with the reality that they are cheerleaders for the world's villains. No war with Iran.

Kansas Revokes IDs for 1,000+ Transgender Residents Under New State Law More than 1,000 transgender Kansas residents have had their driver's licenses and birth certificates invalidated under a new state law that took effect Thursday. The legislation requires gender marker...

It was never about protecting cisgen women and girls. This law strips transgender adult male and females of their right to pursue liberty.

I'm canceling today so it's clear that my cancelation is tied to this BS move. I have loved some great shows on HBO. But I'll console myself with Britbox & more time for reading.

It's disturbing enough that we're adding the Hitler youth badge but discontinuing citizenship? If there were no bad intentions, having children focus on service and ethics wouldn't be a threat to them.

Individually, I completely agree that this is the right choice no matter who owns what. But we've also seen the damage that misinformation and lies can do. The point is to silence dissent, create a low-information population that reveres the state. All outlets are controlled by the ruling elite.

At this point I think we can assume everyone above a certain net worth is somehow associated. It's just that none of them were aware there that the friend whose private jet was known as the Lolita Express was involved in anything untoward. They're just as shocked as we are.

Everything the Ellison family could own if Paramount buys Warner Bros:

Paramount+
CBS
CNN
Showtime
HBO
Warner Bros
TNT
TBS
MTV

Nickelodeon
Comedy Central
Cartoon Network
And more...

This is a rotten deal that the Trump regime has rubber stamped.

State AGs must step in and block it.

I can't believe how much coverage we get on things we already know like "Lying president lied again during a very long speech" when this fresh assault we need to actually do something about right away gets completely ignored.

I’m not hiking for the cardio; I’m hiking for the tiny miracles.

I’m obsessed with the tiny signs of hope hidden on the trail, like the first flowers of early spring. In a loud world, these small, persistent cycles are where I find my peace.

If she ever accidentally does something decent and legal, she'll be out on her rear. Until that unlikely day she can do whatever she wants. I think Trump enjoys seeing how much he & his team can scam & still get MAGA's and the GOP's full support.

Ah, but you forgot: building a database of protestors, normalizing brutality against citizens, intimidation of all immigrants (including citizens), eroding 4A rights, accidentally eroding 2A rights, harassment of Dem state & voters...Priceless.

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes.

$9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst".

Audible has an AMAZING theatrical reading of the Winnie the Pooh books w/ Judy Dench as narrator & Geoffrey Palmer as Eeyore, among other wonderful actors. There's 3 selections and each are delightful. So reading the post all I could hear was Dench's voice in my head when the❓is asked in the book

And they'll spend more $$ and effort lying about those who need help than the paltry amount actually paid out. But, hey, the Sermon on the Mount says: Blessed are the poor for they shall use their bootstraps to pull themselves up and if they don't, f#ck them.
