The reason they want you to focus on drag queens & trans kids is to distract from their own abuse of children.

The reason they want you to focus on Jews is to distract from their own destructive power.

The reason they want you to focus on immigrants is to distract from their own job thievery.

Doing drugs, formerly doing drugs, being addicted to drugs. None of these makes you a bad person. Being RFK makes you a bad person

Notepad should not know what the internet is. If you have notepad talking to remote servers you're already like 10 steps into a "factors leading to" slide.

What the heck are they doing over there
The AI features added to Notepad created a critical exploit vulnerable to loading a compromised txt file.

The fix is part of Patch Tuesday, so update your systems.

AI is not a feature I ever desired in Notepad. I should look into some alternatives...
AI-upgraded Notepad now exposes Windows users to critical exploit
A critical remote code execution vulnerability found in the AI-upgraded Windows 11 Notepad has fueled renewed criticism of Microsoft's forced AI feature creep.

The Power of Giving Your Disabled Characters a Happily-Ever-After
The day I limped into a seven-month chronic pain rehab program, the first thing they told me was: we don’t talk about pain here. We were not allowed to exhibit “pain behaviors” either, which were p…

The rain in Spain is hydrologically insane 😔
Grazalema, Spain, received over 2,000 mm (78 inches) of rain in just the last 20 days.

Over a year’s worth of rain — and it’s only early February. This is hydrologically absurd.

Schumer: ball’s in your court

Republicans: stab the ball, tear it apart, set it on fire, rip up the court and sell the turf to Bahrain

Schumer: hey you guys are out of balls

Republicans: we’re gonna kill your families

Schumer: ok we’ll pass funding for new balls but you’ve GOT to read the rules

The Wright Museums Instagram page is HILARIOUS. Think The Office but it's the staff at a Museum for Black History. Better believe this is on my list of places to visit.

TODAY: @parkermolloy.com watches the Bears. “Every game required you to believe, against all available evidence, that the outcome you were watching unfold was somehow going to reverse itself in the final minutes.” flaminghydra.com/taking-what-...
Taking What Comes
The season was over. The Bears had come back from another deficit, forced overtime in the divisional playoff, and then lost 20-17 on a field goal. Elimination. That’s the kind of ending that’s suppose...

People gotta fuckin stop doin this. I won't vote for Gavin Newsom. Gavin Newsom will lose. I'm saying it now so y'all have time to listen, tho you never do. But nah I ain't voting for diet fascism just because he has a D. Candidates have to do what we want to get elected, there's no fealty here.
One should not vote for the demographics one wishes but the one they have.

If the CA Gov is popular, he is better than the alternative. This is a two-party system barring a Perot laying out millions/billions to be noticed. Which could skew everything anyways.

Billionaires are black holes. They're a gaping maw that sucks up everything from the society around them and gives nothing back. The inescapable gravitational pull they exert with their wealth and influence distorts everything around them.

Billionaires are not compatible with a functional society.
Billionaires are thieves by definition.

Marimar Martinez is a schoolteacher and U.S. citizen. She had no weapon or criminal record, and a CBP officer still shot her five times.

That same officer then bragged about his horrific actions in a group chat.

It's disgusting, and it's shameful. He must be held accountable.

I do not make this comparison lightly.
"In my few days in Minnesota, I’ve been witness to countless scenes that remind me of moments I’ve seen during previous trips covering conflicts around the world," photojournalist @cengizyar.com writes. "The wars we’ve carried out as a nation abroad have come home."

Billionaires are fundamentally incompatible with democracy.

We can't have both.
Jeff Bezos took over the Washington Post Editorial Board and turned it into a mouthpiece for pro-corporate, pro-billionaire propaganda.

Now, WaPo is laying off hundreds of *real* journalists — including the reporter covering Amazon.

Democracy dies in billionaire hands.
