🧵Okay, so according to this blog post from a GNOME dev, I was a bit wrong about the changes in GNOME 49, but the bottom line is still the same: GNOME now hard depends on systemd. Red Hat is now officially trying to kill init freedom on both ends. blogs.gnome.org/adrianvovk/2...

This is actually correct. It's in Chapter 10 of Project 2025.
Don’t forget: gutting SNAP is literally written into Project 2025. This isn’t a mistake — it’s the plan. Every. Single. Bit.

In a sense, they're both welfare. But... and this is the crucial question you should be asking: Which group actually *needs* that $100 billion?
Hint: The richest top 1% won't even feel paying a portion of that $100 billion, and they'll *still* be the richest top 1%.

Cost to fund SNAP and keep 42 million people from starving:
$100 billion
Cost of lost revenue due to tax cuts for the richest Americans in the top 1%:
$100 billion
One is decried as "welfare." One is not.

Ok, so I finally got to try out the new Video Overview styles in NotebookLM, particularly the Anime style, and I'm actually impressed. The "bloodwolf" rendered here is perfectly frightening. That giant in the background, though... I have zero clue where that came from.

They think naked bike rides and people in inflated animal suits are threatening... Because they want to see people cowering in fear of them rather than having a good time protesting them.

Here's the answer: Presenting the hope or possibility of a pardon is effective at keeping Maxwell quiet. If he says "no pardon", she'll talk and absolutely wreck him.
I still have not gotten an answer as to why Donald would even consider pardoning Ghislane Maxwell. And Biden is not an answer.
