RFK Jr. is a piece of dog shit drying in the hot summer sun. I can't imagine in any universe this guy (who makes me wish there was a Sirhan Sirhan Jr.) draining votes from Joe Biden when their views are diametrically opposed.

Look, here's the thing. If Amazon Prime wants to charge me three bucks more for ad-free viewing, the scope of the ad-free viewing had better be a whole lot wider than it currently is. There are plenty of shows on Freevee (an Amazon service) that show ads regardless of whether or not you're paying to have ads suppressed. You don't get my three extra dollars a month and STILL get to show me ads. That's not how it workie, Bezos.

Anti-vaxxers, of course. Everyone thank the anti-vaxxers with both middle fingers!

Amazon's no longer any good at shipping, and Google's no longer any good at searching. What a terrible year to be a tech nerd.

Neo-Nazi podcasters sent to prison on terror charges for targeting Prince Harry and his young son (apnews.com)

Christopher Gibbons and Tyrone Patten-Walsh espoused racist, antisemitic, Islamophobic, homophobic and misogynistic views and encouraged listeners of their “Lone Wolf Radio” podcast to commit violent acts against ethnic minorities, authorities said....

White "supremacists," ladies and gentlemen. Imagine goobers like these thinking they're the master race. They're so gross and ugly and unaccomplished that it's the only thing they've got to lean on.

"What education have you had?"
"I'm white."
"What honors have you received?"
"I'm white."
"Have you done anything whatsoever to improve the lives of others?"
"...I'm white?"
"Okay. Don't call us, we'll call you."

The theft was coming from retailers. Raising prices without raising the cost of living accordingly isn't inflation; it's exploitation.

Oh God, that is so painfully true. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be longingly caressing this rope without actually tying it into a noose.

Google, currently embroiled in an anti-trust lawsuit for having too much control over the internet, is pleading poverty. How amusing.

Paramount couldn't be dumb enough to cancel its best Star Trek series, could it?

(Remembers that someone at Paramount gave us six seasons of Two Broke Girls)

...probably.

You could just send the guy to prison over his human trafficking offense, instead of turning a blind eye to it.

One day it's "Trump beats Biden in polls," the next it's "Democrats are on a winning streak." Yeesh, I can't keep up. The oooooonly poll that matters is the one on election day.

No they won't! There's no way any of the big console manufacturers will ever agree to those terms, ESPECIALLY Nintendo. Microsoft would just buy Unity out before paying that ransom. You be smokin' some bigtime crack, Riccitello.

STOP. SUPPORTING. TORIES. GODDAMN IT.

Honestly, what's the first thing out of a British person's lips? "I hate Tories, they're ruining this country." Yet they keep getting elected anyway. Can... can you see the problem with this? They pretend to be populist, but invariably steal from the poor and give to the rich. Stop falling for the bullshit and for your own prejudices and vote for people who will actually help the common man. Don't make the same mistakes we Americans keep making!

The new name alone isn't what made Twitter crap, but it is symbolic of the massive changes made to the site by the new management. I like to think of it this way: Twitter is dead. X is the reanimated corpse.

Haven't drugs been used as an explanation for his mammoth missteps with Twitter? Because the way this guy is piloting the ship, he's going to crash it into Prince William Sound at any moment. They'll be scrubbing stupid posts off the seabirds for months.

Look, I'm cheap, and I'm not swayed by Apple's smug, trendy marketing horse shit. Remember "I'm an Apple, and I'm a PC?" Who didn't want to punch that smug Apple guy in the face?

But sure, whatever. You fetuses go ahead and cling to Apple because you're told to do it with slick ad campaigns. We all fell for it too... once. Then we realized we were paying for those ads with the Apple tax, and we found better things to do with our money than subsidize paranoid Orwell fantasies and thirty second music videos.

"Can't be bothered?" That's kind of obnoxious. Of course he can't release a physical copy; Disney would sue him.

Young people blame the people who should be blamed. More news at 11.

(Hey millies and zoomers, you came in clutch during the last two elections. Think you can keep at it?)

Is there any one else who feels like their life has been disrupted by this whole debacle with Reddit.

I really do like KBin and Lemmy and the fediverse on the whole, but development is still young and the userbase still growing. KBin is still basically early access, and Lemmy is buggy. I spent alot of time in reddit and I'm feeling the pain of trying to ween myself from it. Just wanted to here community perspectives and see how...

The whole social media collapse has been crushing for a recluse like myself. I mean, I might as well come out straight and say that. I'm not tactile and I don't socialize, so the internet is my main source of communication with the outside world. I'm guaranteed to find people who share my interests, people who "get" me, people who don't act like I came from Venus when I finally open up to them. When that all folds in on itself, or mutates into something that would make the monstrous works of HR Giger look like HR Puffnstuff, yeah, it's kind of painful. Like living through your own digital 9/11. That sounds dramatic, and I mean it to be, but yes, losing social networks that were trusted sources of discussion has been like a sledgehammer to my mental health.

TMI, sorry. I do leave my house when needed, but it's more business than pleasure. (There's very little pleasure involved.)

Oh, no no no no no. I'm not going to sit through ANOTHER year of election commercials with you-know-who and other assorted fear-mongering fascist freaks. As what remains of my sanity is my witness, I will slay every ad they send my way!

Reddit activated a word filter that whenever you say "fuck spez", your comment won't show up for anyone else. I just tested it on ModCoord. they're also deleting spez memes from the subs they nuked lol

r/ModCoord: The admins in charge of demodded subreddits are mass-removing images of Huffman previously shared on them...

No users, no Reddit. It's as simple as that. Why the paint huffer thinks he can take content from his users for free, then sell it back to them, is mystifying. No, no, dickhead. You're acting like you're the most important component of Reddit when you are, in fact, the most expendable.
