"all those other platforms, the ones where I unwisely allowed myself to get locked in, where today I find myself trapped by the professional, personal and political costs of leaving them, they were all started by people who swore they'd never sell out."

Happy MorrisWormiversary to all who celebrate!

Mike Johnson’s phone sent an alert that his son was looking at porn but it turned out he was just watching a Trump rally

@brouhaha we can definitely cut back to 1 tide per day.

I don't care how much safer and secure they make my computer. If software updates reset my settings every time they run, I'm going to disable software updates.

Can’t overstate how dangerous it is that vaccine denial has completely captured one of the two major parties. We’re an election or two from unraveling one of humanity’s greatest achievements. The potential long tail damage is millions of preventable deaths. Just absolutely bonkers.

The only thing that makes UDP jokes bettter than TCP jokes is that when you don't laugh at a UDP joke the person doesn't tell it again.

This is rather sure sign that our faith in a President following the laws is not grounded in reality.

TFG will violate every law, and his people will as well. They have learned they are largely immune, protected by potential pardons and commutations, and that any action by courts will be at least years away. And SCOTUS added to the mess by making the President a King with royal immunity.

Protip:

When designing a user interface, imagine some old woman using it, say Margaret Hamilton, and she's clicking your app's buttons and saying to you, as old people do,

"Young whippersnapper, when I was your age, I sent 24 people to the ACTUAL MOON with my software in 4K of RAM and here I am clicking your button and it takes ten seconds to load a 50 megabyte video ad and then it crashes

I'm not even ANGRY with you, I'm just disappointed."

What kind of a world do we live in where ballot boxes have to have internal fire suppressant?

5yo noticing a Cyber Truck for the first time (and without me ever voicing my own opinion):

“Dad, look at that icky cardboard car.” 🤣

If he wins, Trump advisors want security clearances issued without FBI vetting

Trump recently said that "I have no cognitive."

That seems correct.

I told people this was the goal and they didn't believe me. They told me I was wrong.

No, I am not.
The #auspol govt is demanding that #socialmedia companies prove we are adults.
Well, you know how they do that, right? ID.

They are most likely going to use third party services to demand your ID, pair it with a facial scan and then link that to a fingerprint of your device.

Given the reach of social media companies that means you are trackable everywhere.

McDonald's would never have let Trump near the fryer if they had known about his hideous and crippling foot bone spur.
