Supporting Gavin Newsom in the primary is announcing that you'll step over the dead bodies of trans people and unhoused people to get what you personally want. It's a character defect. We can't be friends.

people are like ‘but teenagers don’t need a living wage’ to justify not paying a living wage for jobs that teenagers tend to do. but really teenagers should just not be working FULL TIME hours. the hourly pay should still add up to a living wage if you work 40 hours.

so, i figured it was bobby moynihan but i checked wikipedia just in case. and its still probably him. and I knew there were a few murderers on the list, but I didn’t know the guy who abused linda lovelace and forced her to be in deep throat was on the list. so that’s interesting.

need one of those german train-car noun constructions for ‘the sense of betrayal a woman suffers when a thinker who was hugely influential to her turns out to be the same bog standard worthless misogynist as everyone else’
“That’s particularly true now with the hysteria that has developed about abuse of women, which has reached the point that even questioning a charge is a crime worse than murder."

Early internet, the sage advice was "don't read the comments." Then at some point, our genius overlords said, "okay what if the entire internet was ONLY the comments?"

Someone please explain to me, a stupid old man, how a budgeting app for teens can be worth a billion dollars? Is it pushing them high interest credit cards? Getting them to gamble on crypto/options trading? It can't just be a budgeting app.
MrBeast has acquired Step, a teen-focused financial app valued at $900 million, in a deal reportedly worth over $1 billion

Pure evil at work, folks.
ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.

If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

why is bulletin board functionality so much better than chatroom functionality? I miss bb's so much, it feels like every way of communicating online now is either blog-style (bluesky, tumblr, reddit kinda) where something is posted and there are comments or chatroom style (discord).

every single initial statement they make is a lie. every one.
After Border Patrol shot two people in Portland, DHS claimed they were "vicious gang members" tied to a past shooting.

But records I obtained reveal a US prosecutor has since directly contradicted DHS, saying, "We're not suggesting he is a gang member." My dive into how DHS' claims have collapsed:
DHS’s account of two Venezuelans shot by border patrol falls apart in court: ‘A smear campaign’
Immigration officials said agent shot two ‘vicious gang members’ in Portland, but records obtained by the Guardian reveal US prosecutor contradicted claims
