2025 in a nutshell (no pun intended)
Has any burger restaurant fallen off harder than Shake Shack? They’re not even using Martin’s potato rolls at the LBC one but still have the audacity to charge $11 for a fast food burger… when In-n-Out is across the street ($6 double-double) and the far superior The Win-Dow is nearby & even cheaper.

Hey @mozilla.org why tf are you shutting down Pocket? How expensive can it possibly be to maintain? Pocket is glorified bookmarks + categories + article text at save. How does removing this awesome service (that I pay for) "move the internet forward" and show "independence"? #pocket #aisucks

I deeply regret ever buying a Chrysler/gmc car. It’s been the least reliable, most repair-prone vehicle I’ve ever owned. I’m so sad we chose it over a Honda or Toyota.
When Jeep owners complained ads were appearing while driving, the carmaker said it was a glitch. But as auto makers consider connected car opportunities, in-vehicle selling might be too tempting to ignore.
Ads Popped Up on Drivers' Screens. There May Be More on the Way

With the coming of the $500B Government AI project (which will undoubtedly expand individual surveillance using digital footprints), it’s a good idea to protect your comms. OpSec begins before you need it.
“Everyone’s threat model has shifted, in part because of the new administration and the way tech companies are bending over backwards to serve their agenda,” EFF’s Daly Barnett told @washingtonpost.com. “The lens of criminality and risk is expanding.”

![Following the 2024 presidential election, the Trump transition team asked Driscoll to serve as Deputy Director of the FBI underneath Robert Kissane as acting director.[2] In 2025, following the inauguration of Donald Trump, Driscoll became acting director of the FBI because the White House website "incorrectly listed" him as acting director and Kissane as deputy director.[2] "Instead of fixing the error, the pair swapped their temporary FBI roles," according to the Wall Street Journal.[2]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:sue3wyenmq7qabgwgr4bcgx3/bafkreihtvpo43l5fba7wig2bbz3zspjt25obl6rcrus7zqhkmu6jbp3exy@jpeg)

If you work for the oligarchy, your job is to create friction.

Wear down the machine and break it.
If you're in a safe position to do so, and it won't harm vulnerable people, do your job poorly. Slow down. Make "mistakes."
