I'm still dumbfounded that @willsasso.bsky.social was in the 1996 film adaptation of #DoctorWho...

Just had to be reminded of that while trying to re-establish the DW library that I lost a few years ago.

Enough pressure was applied upon Sinclair Broadcast Group to the point that they are airing @jimmykimmel.com once again.

I guess that $50,000 daily penalty enforcement for breach of contract over station became too much for them. That is $450,000 in penalties for each of its 36 ABC affiliates.

So anyone you don't like is considered a terrorist organization.

Then, by that logic, to me, the real terrorist organizations in America are the Republican National Committee and the Democratic National Committee. 1/2

Well, I was finally able to get the data from my personal/professional account on X. Account deleted.

You can fuck right off, Nazi Elon. #TeamBluesky

Just tried it. The U.S. servers are definitely down for sure. You definitely can't access it through a Tor browser.

From my #TikTok library that was still on my phone. #TikTokBan #TikTokRefugee

Well, I thought the same thing too, until I saw this. It's completely down. But since the servers are just down and no data is being deleted, who knows at this point? Would suck if all the content I posted was gone forever just because I didn't get it downloaded in time.

It's official - I've sworn off #Instagram for my personal and business accounts in solidarity with boycotting as many #Meta platforms as possible as a result of the #TikTokBan.

Next on my list: Deleting my two main accounts for #Twitter #X because Elon Musk can go fuck off too.

Fuck the members of the U.S. House AND U.S. Senate who voted for the TikTok ban.

Fuck the U.S. Supreme Court for upholding a TikTok ban that was created under false pretenses curated by Meta and Alphabet.

Most of all, fuck you Rep. Mary Miller, Sen. Durbin, and Sen. Duckworth.

Just passing the time away before I call it an evening...

Random screenshot from my new setup:
Left: Monitor 1 out from dock
Center: Laptop
Right: Monitor 2 out from dock

I could use a third monitor down the road. The only difference would be I would need to use a DisplayPort output.
