It should be astonishing that after Trump publicly solicited a $1 billion bribe from Big Energy, Big Journalism just shrugged and moved on.

It is not astonishing.

Nothing more batshit than (like , for example) popping up notifications that you could 'Host a webinar!' and making you click "Maybe Later" instead of "The fuck is this?!".

I need a response dialogue like "I never want to hear a single thing out of you ever again. I am forced to use this godawful software for my job. Do not limit my response to polite noncommittal declination. If I could burn your binary I would."

I continue to be fascinated by the fact that when Jack Dorsey looks back at his time at Twitter, his only regret is that it was technically possible for him to ban the Nazis so people nagged him to do so.

So now his ideal social network is one where the moderators can’t ban Nazis.

@carnage4life Must be great to be totally insulated from the tiniest consequences of all of your decisions. Utterly incapable of reflection and learning. Completely surrounded by people who give you endless respect, praise, and never criticism. Absolutely not a recipe for uncaring idealogues, convinced they're right in all respects.

@StillIRise1963 even the judge's written consideration of someone's former or future role in government being given regards when considering the consequences of the 10th gag order violation...

He already broke the rule of law. The judges are not willing to treat him as a citizen who is subject to it.

...At 2:14 p.m., Trump walks in, entourage in tow.

Boris Epshteyn just handed a piece of paper with a photo on it to Kaitlan Collins.

I thought he maybe said "Conway" to her, but I'm not exactly sure.

@GottaLaff NFL - Her ability to tell the story, and the effect it would have had on the campaign, is important regardless of its veracity. She literally does not need to have been honest for this story becoming public to be a campaign impacting event, and for this scheme to therefore be a campaign contribution.

Anyone got recommendations for a quality 'mid-high range' recliner? I need something to relax/read/chill with cats in the den.

La-Z-Boy prices spook me BUT if they're worth it and last for decades (and hopefully aren't targets for the cats) it'd probably be worth it

Looking at stuff like this, probably the high end of my range https://www.la-z-boy.com/p/living-room-recliners-rocking-recliners/astor-rocking-recliner/_/R-010519

@SirTapTap Whatever you pick up, make sure it's a model the cats can't squeeze into the mechanism of!

Or make sure to staple some extra fabric over any access they might have. Don't want any kitties caught in the (quite powerful) leverage.

Talking about . Durov's new buddy Carson interviewed bloody Dugin, as seen on his channel with 250k followers.

I thought he couldn't do anything worse than interview putin. But I underestimated him.

Especially this "Ukrainian government murdered his daughter". Seriously? Of all the Russians we could kill in Moscow we would choose this crazy's daughter?

God I wish I lived in a world where I can just post about open-source software and interesting books.

Am lamenting anew the refusal by Biden to support Supreme Court reform when Democrats controlled the House and Senate and could have expanded the Court, neutralizing the power of demonstrably corrupt Justice Thomas and the justices appointed after Mitch McConnell illegitimately refused to advance Obama’s nominee to the seat that went eventually to Gorsuch. Elected Democrats must take foundational measures if we are to preserve any sort of meaningful democracy in America. #LawFedi 1/

@heidilifeldman I guess the problem with not doing anything about a problem is that it really sucks later when it's still a problem.

@shoq 'more guns in schools' is such an insane way to think about reducing deaths and harms.

Lawmakers don't allow open carry in the legislature. They know it doesn't make them safe. They don't ask their speechwriters to bring an AK to the writing workshop. They're not tasking their spouses with armed guard duties.

Any teacher who actually did this would just prove they shouldn't be around kids.

Warby Parker's quality is...unimpressive. Is there a better place to get decent frames? These are a year old and that gross bubbling thing in the plastic is already happening at the nose

@SirTapTap we just started getting stuff from 'eyebuydirect' - seems like the same quality as the overpriced stuff from local stores. Fits ok usually, though I did have to add a silicon patch on the nose bridge of one set of plastic frames to stop them slipping.
