If you were looking to find easy scam targets it makes sense that you’d run an Elon supporter bot. Anyone still supporting that murderous fraud is ripe for the plucking.
Meanwhile on Hellsite, who knew all the Elon bots were Nigerian? 🤡

There is a post circulating on Bluesky encouraging the moving of a frozen turkey straight into a pot of hot oil. We are combating this misinformation the best way we know how - through the power of dance music.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

“Luke learns design” month, (cheat) day #21:
Star Trek 1971!
In 1971 a high school kid wrote a game on punch tape about hunting Klingons. In 1972 he rewrote it in HP BASIC, and it became briefly the most distributed software of all time. The code is still available.
So I ported it! Check it out!

Mass death as implemented by fascism but yes. Observe the fatal status quo or death, those are the choices. Both choices offer death though.
