Goldman: This guy is so clearly trying to follow the Putin model—using the government to make money, making sure his allies control the most important companies in the country, including our media companies, doling out money by deregulating their industries, and taking money from them in return…

On this day in 1993, #TheNightmareBeforeChristmas by #TimBurton hit US cinemas! Critics and fans acclaimed it, with the question being - is it a #Halloween or a #Christmas film?

The Free Software Foundation (FSF) today announced "Librephone," a new project aimed at achieving complete mobile phone freedom for users from Google and Apple. Can they be successful where industry leaders like Ubuntu failed previously?
FSF announces Librephone project — Free Software Foundation — Working together for free software
"Forty years ago, when the FSF was founded, our focus was on providing an operating system people could use on desktop and server computers in freedom. Times have changed, technology has progressed, but our commitment to freedom hasn't," said Zoë Kooyman, executive director of the FSF. "A lot of work has been done in mobile phone freedom over the years that we'll be building on. The FSF is now ready to do what is necessary to bring freedom to cell phone users. Given the complexity of the devices, this work will take time, but we're used to playing the long game."

The ticket you close as "Cannot Reproduce" is the one that causes the next big outage. I don’t make the rules.

Shout! Studios has uploaded The Lawnmower Man (1992) in its entirety onto YouTube, meaning it’s now available to watch on that site for free. Thank you, @shoutstudios.bsky.social 🖖

I had seen it when I was too young, the subject interested me (of course!), but the film scared me. 😅

He wants to dictate what the press can say.
What a university can teach.
Whom a company can employ.
And to whom the law shall apply.

He who wants all this is not a president,
But strives to be a dictator.
And all who succumb are not citizens,
But subjects.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)
