Hey Canadian nerds! I have held the domain registration for regex.ca for a very long time. When I lived in Canada it was my primary domain, but I haven't used it for years. Does anyone on the fediverse have a good use for it?
I'm going to release it but if you've got a good pitch I'll pay for a 1 year renewal and then transfer it to your ownership.
Anything from Vox Media and The Atlantic is now untrustworthy in any capacity from now on. Remember this when reading or linking to any articles in the future.
@literalgrill So sad. The Atlantic was one of the last decent places for decent writing. I think I'm gonna have to dust off that old Blog I used to have, because I think I can do a better job than AI.
Like Jello Biafra said "become the media"
Opt out, not in. Likely because they company is run by sociopaths.
You might want to shut this off in your profile. If you know anyone who works in management at DoorDash, consider tossing them into your nearest black hole. #privacy
Each one of these acts is intended to tell fascists it’s ok to enjoy and get used to pressing the jackboot against the neck of America just a little harder.
@Green_Footballs yeah white men within the ruling class have consolidated power, there is literally nothing we can do short of mass starvation for the cause to distrupt their control. We can do it but obviously we're fighting a class that has no conscience.
@josh I'm still getting the hang of #wikidata, maybe someone who's more familiar with it can double-check my query, but this is what I was able to pull out.
Scientists have figured out why killer whales are smashing up luxury yachts: it’s a new fad among teen orcas. “A combination of free time, curiosity and natural playfulness has led to young orcas adopting this ‘trend’ of boat-bumping.” https://newatlas.com/biology/orcas-killer-whales-boats/
We're excited to announce the latest Framework Laptop 13 with Intel Core Ultra Series 1, an optional 2880x1920 120Hz display (ideal for 2:1 scaling on Linux), and new configurations for businesses with 3 year warranties. Pre-orders are open now.
This week, the Wall Street Journal opinion section published an op-ed about our #tax coverage.
We don't typically comment on our newsgathering process, but this opinion essay has factual errors in the headline and in the essay that should be corrected.
@ProPublica Once again, the Wall St. Journal’s editorial page proves itself to be the home of unrecondite scoundrels, liars and thin-skinned oligarchs who squeal like stuck pigs at any possible encroachment on their perceived privilege
"I cannot be phased by being condescended to by old white men in legislative meetings. I have worked many years in infosec and I am dead inside" is an actual thing I said in an all-hands meeting yesterday.
Looks like global CO2 emissions finally peaked. Good. But no time to lose: onwards to a rapid descent!

Florida man: Fugitive John Mark Dougan fled to Moscow and runs more than 150 pro-Russia/pro-Trump disinformation sites targeting Americans. Previously a US Marine and Sheriff's Deputy, he fled to Russia after committing election fraud and numerous other crimes.
@MEActNOW
Hopefully he finds himself in a Russian prison soon. The Russians aren't very reliable in terms of keeping their promises. They assassinate their own countrymen FFS. Stay away from balconies. 😆
🤦🏻♀️😳#Trump & #Musk have discussed a possible advisory role for the Tesla leader should TFG reclaim WH, the latest sign that the once-frosty relationship between the 2 has thawed.
The role hasn’t been fully hammered out and might not happen, but they discussed ways to give Musk formal input & influence over policies related to border security and the economy, both issues on which Musk has grown more vocal. https://apple.news/A12U7FLPbQbm6Nfj7Y1_glQ
During a group photo with greeters on the PHL tarmac a reporter shouted a question at President Biden about whether he'd serve four more years or hand over power to VP Harris. He replied: “You're not hurt are you? Are you okay? Did you fall on your head or something?”
@mjausson@petes_bread_eqn_xls Of course not, she's just digesting what she hears through the Fox News/conservative talk radio/etc. pipeline... They throw stuff like that out constantly.
@mjausson She thinks that Biden is not physically / mentally healthy enough for the job and that Democrats make everything about DEI, so stepping aside for a Black woman is his secret plan.
"I was not aware that my wife was advocating for the overthrow of the government, but when I found out, I asked if she could do so less blatantly.
So I'm not going to recuse because that would be unfair to insurrectionists. And also against the current system of justice -- which my wife wants to overthrow."
In two new letters to Congress, Samuel #Alito refuses to recuse himself from cases involving #Jan6 despite concerns about the two controversial flags being flown at his homes. #SCOTUS
@GottaLaff Where is Chief Justice Roberts? I think he is in really danger of losing this court: either pissing democrats off badly enought that even the 'moderates' sign off on expanding the court and imposing term limits; or possibly more likely, running a court that is so extreme that the rest of the government simply ignores it's decisions...
@GottaLaff
Time to force him. Make his life miserable until he resigns. Disgusting fascist traitor. Send out the subpoenas now and start the investigation into his bribes.
On one hand, clearly flouting the law is ~punished (even though the measure is not supposed to be punishment, but an acute way to prevent repeats of similar offenses).
On the other hand, "driving without a license" is part of a positive feedback loop is many states and often means "driving while being in debt". Some states:
a) refuse license renewal/suspend licenses as part of debt collection,
b) condition license reacquisition on relative lack of driving infractions, which include "driving without a license/with a suspended license" regardless of the reason for the license's suspension.
(I spent a week of evenings in 2020 or 2021 watching proceedings around misdemeanors from some random court in Michigan, and traffic cases seemed to mostly be parts of that or similar feedback loop.)
if you can't be in a coalition with people you disagree with on at least a few things, you can't build a coalition big enough to accomplish anything in the United States or defeat rising fascism.
@MaggyWells@aggualaqisaaq As I’ve said before, either paid trolls or picking up their talking points for free. I think the second one is actually worse.
A career State Department official resigned from her post on Tuesday, saying she could no longer work for the Biden administration after it released a report concluding that Israel was not preventing the flow of aid to Gaza....
