What upsets me most about the Trump administration is not the horrible things they do but how shittily they do them.
Trump kept insisting the text overlaid across Abrego Garcia’s knuckles were the actual tattoos.

“Wait a minute. Terry, Terry, Terry. Don’t do that. It says ‘MS13.'”

“That was Photoshopped,” ABC News' Terry Moran said.

Did we entrust Homeland Security to a woman who can’t even keep and eye on her bag?

The most dangerous thing you can do if you work for Trump is make sense. Fastest way to lose your job.

The speed at which people cave to despotic power is depressing. They are only as powerful as we let them become.

Guys, can you give me examples of companies using SQLite in production, and how big is their database? Trying to dispute the "is not production ready" objection. #Laravel #SQLite

I really wish Bluesky would federate with Mastodon and the rest of the Fediverse. I can’t read everything everywhere.

I never thought I would see us abandon the rights of women so eagerly. Women in America no longer have a basic right to live. The state will decide what healthcare you need. This is the natural conclusion of "pro-life" insanity:

Please tell Elon that no one is blackmailing him. Does he know how blackmail works? He clearly doesn’t know how advertising works.

Ok. So. I prefer to use Mastodon. But I like some people here who are not on the Fediverse. I hope Bluesky opens up some kind of integration with Mastodon.
