Feels too close to true for this account.

A few weeks ago I saw two of them on the road at the same time. One in the original steel, one matte black. Surreal.

Helmets cause nonlethal head injuries.

And of course the difference with radio is that it's broadcast, which means it takes up a limited public resource, even if no one asked for it. Tiktok doesn't install itself on your phone, and the feds have no business telling me which services I can use to watch and publish videos.

If there was real evidence, supporters of the ban would be shouting it from the rooftops. Surveillance of tiktok users in hongkong, sure. Otherwise the "evidence" is that the algorithm suppresses topics controversial in china, which is not remotely weird, for a chinese company.

My mom continued to use Windows 3.1 until her printer broke, and she found out no one sold printers that worked with it anymore.

And @chadloder.bsky.social , is the real question why this happened, or why didn't this happen sooner?

This is data from a few years ago, and illustrates a theme.

I vaguely remember reading about one lawsuit from many years ago of the form, "I was denied tenure but this less qualified woman was granted tenure," and discovery unsurprisingly documented that the male candidate was rejected for being an insufferable douchebag that no one liked.

why file a lawsuit when they could instead go fuck themselves

My counter is that the alternative doesn't actually protect anyone else's rights, except by temporary demographic accident. Could get rid of undemocratic bullshit, *and* enshrine new rights. Of course they don't want new rights. They just want to deprive everyone else.

Oh ffs, I did the thing where you try to deshittify an idea that a techbro came up with and accidentally propose the industry standard. Though now I'm wondering if westlaw will or already is advertising "now enhanced with AI."

You say that, but I seriously thought for a few days that people were losing their minds over travel mugs shaped like the damn trophy.

Wait, if we're actually at each other's funerals, do we still say f?

I think trump et al are focused on something else they have in common
