Not techie, very geeky and nerdy. Living the single life, but not sure how to feel about it.

Call a Senator that voted no tonight and demand that they vote to remove Chuck Schumer as Senate Minority Leader.

He has weaponized his incompetence against the American people by allowing 8 Dem Senators to cave to an authoritarian regime. We need real leadership, not the oligarchy’s lapdog
Schumer can be removed from his Dem leadership role this week - 23 Dems (and/or independents) just have to vote to depose him

And they should, given this is his fault.
This is a lovely sentiment but Schumer isn't up for re-election until 2028 and he knows this. At which point he will be 77/78. There's no mechanism to recall a sitting senator AFAIK.

Schumer and the Dems are about to teach Trump the lesson that they’ll cave whenever he abuses power to sufficiently hurt people.

The relentless pursuit of money and power is ultimately endless. It is an addiction of a kind,a mental health issue, an unstoppable, unsatisfiable, NEED. The goal is never reachable because the end result is always, and will always be, unmet upon arrival. It will never be "enough." #Capitalism
“For them, wealth is the ultimate end, and we’ve seen for decades that they’re doing anything to get closer but closer to what, I can’t tell you, but neither could they, because with these kinds of pursuits, there’s no end on earth that would satisfy them. There never was, and there never will be…”

Today I puttered. Blanched and frozen kohlrabi. Quick pickled daikon radish "paper" wraps. Marinated and roasted drumsticks. Egg nog aging in fridge. Frozen egg whites for various uses. Celeriac root ready to mash/puree. Spinach juice made. Fridge clean out. Laundry. Dancing with myself. Whoahohoh.

SNAP benefits should be funded and NEVER used like a bargaining chip in some game. These are people’s lives but this regime and the oligarchs that funded them don’t care so long as they make their quarterly profits or enrich themselves just a little more. We need to say ENOUGH of this!

That toddler needs IMMEDIATE therapy and the bill sent to ICE.
The gestapo must be destroyed by any means necessary.
"When I picked up my granddaughter from the federal agents, she had a dirty diaper, a bruise on her face, and was developing a rash. She was exhausted and cried… My heart aches knowing this could happen to others, to my kids, or even me, despite being U.S. citizens.”

"no more prayers" says the "thoughts and prayers" crowd from their crowded cult pulpits. Oops, I mean, federal offices.
wut.
“Federal authorities told demonstrators Friday that there would be ‘no more prayer’ in front of or inside the Broadview ICE facility, in a move that mystified local leaders and raised legal questions.” blockclubchicago.org/2025/11/07/f...

Quotas is the first major fuck up, after hiring military and police rejects, lured by a lie of money but stoked for the right to be masked, racists, thugs. Training? We don't need no stinking training!
The gestapo must be harshly crushed.
ICE agents in Chicago violently detain a non verbal autistic man for being “non compliant”

He couldn’t “comply” because of his disability…they don’t care

This is not the first time they’ve gone after a disabled person

They target the most vulnerable because it’s an easy way to meet their quota

My housemate's cat has stolen my living room chair heating pad. She has trained me to turn it on when I leave the house. It has a one hour timer.
It's getting chillier so Ricky's started loafing on the grill at night

Jill's always so amused when he does this, I hope you enjoy it too 😹

Happy Caturday!

For context: the Joint Economic Committee (JEC) said the debt reached $38.019 trillion, and that it added $1 trillion in about two months.

Cruelty really is the point. Who else would go to court begging for permission to starve their own citizens? Meanwhile, they send $40 billion to Argentina, buying two private jets for ICE “Barbie,” and Trump has already burned through $1 trillion in less than two months.

Term. LIMITS. Jfc. Ten years max for any Congressional seat. Make them focus on being a public servant not getting constantly re-elected. Politician shouldn't be a lifetime CAREER that only 'the elite" can afford to become. Revamp donor system too. No PACS.
25years too late, but still glad to see her go. She lost my vote in the first GWB term.

Hopefully my fellow San Franciscans can elect someone properly liberal to replace her ancient milquetoast ass.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Nancy Pelosi won't seek reelection, ending her storied career in the US House.

EXECUTIVE 👏ORDERS 👏 ARENT 👏LAWS. Repeat after me. #louderforthebackrow
After Trump’s major losses yesterday, the White House says it’s preparing executive orders aimed at changing how U.S. elections are run, citing so-called “blatant fraud” as the reason. It’s clear they just can’t accept losing.

If it's a really good friend? Nope, get it TF together "friend" or that title stays in quotes. If it's someone closer, with physical intimacy, it matters even more, I can't be protecting parts of myself from someone penetrating my body or the joy is compromised. One night stands are impossible.
There's a far difference from casual conversation with someone you will likely never see again, or even friends who you cannot control their perception of you, and then something that bears your very soul within it, like art does. I relate heavily.

When legal battles are more important than saving and sharing knowledge we know who is truly "evil." Profit over people is bad, mmkay.
Libraries matter. Access matters.

After years of legal battles, the Internet Archive is still here—and still fighting for a world where everyone can read, learn, and remember.

@arstechnica.com tells the story: arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...
Internet Archive’s legal fights are over, but its founder mourns what was lost
“We survived, but it wiped out the library,” Internet Archive’s founder says.

#letthemeatcake was less about lack of knowledge of snap and more about a total disconnect of how everyone else lived at all. And here we are. ....again. #itshistoryrepeating #70spunkisstillrelevant #fkReagan
A picture from the party that Trump hosted on Halloween at Mar-A-Lago. One day before SNAP benefits are to be cut. They are spitting in the faces of the millions who will starve due to income inequality Ironically, the theme for this party was Great Gatsby, a book where income inequality is central
