All my Logitech mouse and camera control software on my Mac just quit working, so I got rid of it all. For the more complex mouse configuration, I use SteerMouse (twenty bucks and worth it). For the camera, the OS and whatever apps do just fine.

This is probably going to demand a depressing amount of repetition, but here goes.
If Renee Nicole Good was a childless foreign national, its still wasn't OK for a federal employee to straight up execute her. Begging everyone to not concede one inch of ground to this toxic framing.

Kendra asked about how learning about Fred Hampton and COINTELPRO in my 30s changed my perspective on like, what America is and how I exist in it as a white person, and I had a lengthy thread of thoughts
I am happy to! I like answering this question. I think the simplest way to sum it up is that it's like, someone explained to you how the magician did that card trick. or Dorothy realizing Oz the Great and Powerful is literally just some guy. you can read the docs so you can see how the scam was done

It’s worth noting that this setting has to be set separately in the app and in a browser - I had already set it in the app on my phone but was still getting auto-plays on my iPad and laptop until I set it again in the browser.

Don't even get me started on the canonical irregularity that is Orthodox Christianity in the United States.
communion. Kinda dumb luck on my part, there weren't any ROCOR parishes near enough to me so I mainly attended Orthodox Church in America, and occasionally Greek Orthodox Archdiocese in America parishes. As my views and opinions moderated I started going more to the local GOARCH parish than the OCA.

Trans people deserve gender-affirming care just as much as cis people do. Also, trans rights are human rights.
this store is 18+ and they’re strict as hell about it. none of this has ever been about “protecting children,” it’s about trying to force trans people to disappear
After a boutique on South Street received a warning letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for selling breast binders for gender-affirming care, the region’s transgender community worries about the potential wider impacts.

My attitude on this is that I'm not calling them because I think I can change their minds.
I'm calling them because it is unthinkable to let them do this without hearing how evil and awful they are.
My spite powers me. If I can get just 500 people a day to join me, we could fuck up their day.

I call Tommy Tuberville every fucking week, multiple times a week, because he can be evil but I don't have to let him do it without pushback.
So I don't need to hear excuses. I call the dumbest senator in the country. 😂
