suggestions from #Linux geeks? the only things not on the table are Apple and Samsung

Pixel seems unfortunately sensible, but I'd love to be convinced I can degoogle and run vanilla Android, or even better something like Plasma Mobile

I'm so sick of smartphones..

The thing about grief is that you eventually return to ‘normal life,’ but still feel so far from your ‘normal self.’

It’s a terrible feeling. Wanting to be present and enjoy the moment, yet feeling unable to.

God grant me the serenity to accept the bait I cannot resist

The courage to resist the bait I can

And the terminally onlineness to know the difference

reading a book about china. apparently the government there has sent federal forces into cities, taken shares of major private enterprises, slapped tariffs on industries, and pressured media outlets to fire people they politically disagreed with. didn’t know this.

This is the playbook, folks.

If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

Do not be quiet in this moment.

what's crazy is that if we restrict our sample size to just "the day that Charlie Kirk got shot" it remains true that right-wing extremists commit more violence

A Black student from Grenada, Trey Reed, was found dead hanging from a tree AG Delta State University in Mississippi.

Authorities say "no foul play suspected" but that seems highly doubtful.

Korean networks and dailies have noted that families and friends who greeted the returning workers remarked that they had lost a lot of weight and seemed to have aged.

The workers were worried most about a pregnant woman who was detained with them. She got a first class seat on the flight home.

luigi mangione murdered a healthcare executive and opposed "wokeism." i don't know why people insist that killers need some coherent ideology. most people don't even have coherent wardrobes, let alone a coherent worldview.
