Really glad we’ve got OLED phone displays now. The black is just so incredibly rich on these Trump-Epstein file redactions.

@andrewwrites.bsky.social any home lab articles in the works or tips on getting started? Your RPi smaller display article got me thinking of busing my old pi out again but I don’t know where to start.

I just really need everybody to understand that everything that’s happening in and to the global economy now (and all the businesses and people in it) is the entirely predictable result of the intentional decisions of one guy who doesn’t understand how the global economy works.

That quick cut to president Trump and his daughterwife Ivanka was an important reminder that, no matter our political differences, this is all bullshit and our country is being kicked over like a sand castle under our noses while we rank the Super Bowl ads

The 19 richest Americans, led by Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, have almost as much wealth as the poorer half of the country.

The bottom 50% of household own just 2.4% of U.S. wealth.

While the richest 19 individuals alone have 2.1%.

The First Amendment would like a word
President Trump says he's signing an executive order to make AG Pam Bondi the head of a task force "to eradicate anti-Christian bias."

Expect to see lots of litigation on this!

I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period.

I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt.

But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are

The Trump tax - in return for which you get absolutely nothing at all
“For the typical American household, the tariffs will mean a loss of about $1,200 in purchasing power, according to the Budget Lab at Yale University, a nonpartisan research center.” www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
Trump signs order imposing tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China
American importers will pay a new 25-percent tax on goods from Canada and Mexico and a 10-percent levy on products from China.

Rushed politicized responses in the event of tragic emergencies make our safety and security worse.

While all the facts are unknown of the DC crash, we see the response.

We need to find out exactly what happened and have leaders who will deliver the truth if we want to fix *any* of this.

On the nose, this is.
There are too many characters in Star Wars preaching about an unseen force that will balance the universe, and not nearly enough talking about how they allowed Palpatine to destroy The Republic in an effort to bring down the price of blue milk and power converters after a fake assassination attempt.

Dr. Paul Offit from last week's Roundtable on Vaccines:

"The problem is not only that we've largely eliminated these diseases...we've eliminated the memory of these diseases. Parents are now more scared of the safety of vaccines, real or imagined, then the diseases they prevent."

Want a great slogan for midterms?
"If you FAFO and are struggling because of Trump policies, we understand. The Dems are here for you. Tell us how we can help you "

You get the point.

FAFO will be the theme. Be the solution.

"Democracy Dies in Darkness" is kinda like "Don't Be Evil" as a slogan. It's a bit worrying when you choose it, but it's a lot more worrying when you take it down

People like this unqualified hate filled mongrel aren’t alone. Congress is complicit in what’s going on here, as they fail to stand up, uphold their oaths, and instead go along with whatever project 2025 Trump spews.
I say again: Congress is complicit.
