To be clear, I believe that the US should be thanking Zelenskyy and Ukraine for standing up and defending freedom. They’re the ones bearing this burden in lives and disruption. It’s only the small and insecure who think they should be thanking us.

In general I'm opposed to the contrived acronym school of naming bills, but in this case I'll make an exception.

BREAKING: Rep. Mark Pocan has introduced the ELON MUSK act which would ban "special" government employees like Musk from having federal contracts.

The full title of the bill is the Eliminate Looting of Our Nation by Mitigating Unethical State Kleptocracy Act.

Shout out to all the neurodivergents, heading into a week of over stimulation, no routine, sky high expectations, and non optional socialising.

I see you.

The main argument for a Strategic BItcoin Reserve seems to be that Bitcoin holders worry about an impending shortage of greater fools and need the US government to act as the greatest fool of last resort.

Googling Stuff: Then v Now.
This title if the comic is ‘Googling Stuff…’ The comic shows two columns: on the left is “Then” showing search results with one thing listed as “the thing you want” On the right column is ‘Now’ - also showing search results but in this case it’s a whole bunch of stuff you don’t need: AI TAKING A WILD STAB AT IT WITH SOME BLATANT MISINFORMATION SPONSORED RESULT SPONSORED RESULT SPONSORED RESULT SPONSORED RESULT PEOPLE ALSO ASK VIEW PRODUCTS And then right at the bottom just off screen is ‘the thing you want’

Narrator: TIPS ON GOING TO A PARTY: T-Rex: Oh, this is easy! Everyone's there to have a good time, so just - Narrator: WHERE YOU DON'T KNOW ANYONE: T-Rex: Oh - okay, still: bring a friend, and - Narrator: AND YOU'RE GOING ALONE: T-Rex: OH DANG. Dromiceiomimus: What's up, T-Rex? T-Rex: I have to give tips on going to a party - Dromiceiomimus: Everyone's there to have a good time, so just - T-Rex: - a party where you don't know anyone AND you're going alone!! Utahraptor: OH DANG, bud! OH DANG. T-Rex: That's what I said! Earlier, I said that!! Utahraptor: Well, in this case I suggest walking up to a small group of people and saying "you look like the coolest people here and I don't know anyone, can I talk to you?" and IN MY EXPERIENCE, that works really well. It's a compliment AND it's true! T-Rex: Wow! I didn't know there was a solution for this! Narrator: TIPS ON GOING TO A PARTY, WHERE YOU DON'T KNOW ANYONE, AND YOU'RE GOING ALONE, AND YOU'RE TOO AFRAID TO TALK TO ANYONE NEW: T-Rex: Oh! In this case it's easy! T-Rex: YOU ARE BONED!!

The release of a new Cure album has triggered lots of "Cure albums ranked" articles. Folks, Pornography is not a great album. Faith and Seventeen Seconds are way better. Thank you for listening to my 40 year old hot take.

How did you pick your username? I'm still using the same randomly generated ID I was assigned at birth.

How did you pick your user name?

I had just finished reading A Fire Upon the Deep when I followed some friends from usenet to LiveJournal.

How did you pick your user name?

In old (first and second edition) Shadowrun TTRPG sourcebooks, a lot of them were presented as chat logs on the Shadowland BBS which is what shadowrunners used for jobs and sharing info and Captain Chaos was the top mod.
