Does the Bush-era warmonger & Trump appointee who's leading Biden around by the nose (Brett McGurk) really think the world is going to be distracted from the evidence South Africa presented today at the #ICJ of the genocidal intent of #Netanyahu's government against #Gaza?
Relying on a Trump appointee like McGurk has led Biden into shooting his 2024 campaign in the foot - and showed the world the worst face of America.
@arcadiagt5 what we learned through the Roald Dahl fiasco is that it's just a way to get the author's name back in the conversation and sell some books.
Somehow after being "cleaned up" James still makes sweet, sweet love to that peach at the end.
After poking around more, I thiiiink we can do something here using Mastodon's built-in APIs pretty trivially. Not quite the same thing as an unopinionated ActivityPub bridge, but as Andy said RSS works as an interface for that for folks who want to get technical (whereas I think most folks just want to be able to auto-publish toots for their new issues!)
@thomasfuchs literally like a half hour ago I started a NYT cooking video but stopped about 20 seconds in, saying aloud "we don't fuck with the Grey Lady in this house."
Let's start with our #MorningMoments and find out what the plans are for the day today as well as for the weekend ahead.
For me, it's just the usual work stuff and then some video games with friends tonight for a bit.
Not sure what else the wife and I might do today, as we never did go shopping the other day, so might do that today, though it's pretty cold outside to be going anywhere.
I have a secret grudge list of ‘SF businesses that have ever publicly said anything negative about homeless people and bike lanes’ and it’s a very large list. I will not give money to any of those people.
#maga NY FBI Chief was working for Russia .. the "extraordinary seriousness" of his choosing to work for Oleg Deripaska, whom the U.S. sanctioned for enabling Russia's annexation of Crimea.
One of the highest-ranking FBI agents to ever face #criminal charges was sentenced to over four years in prison on Thursday for secretly colluding with a Russian oligarch.
Charles #McGonigal, a former counterintelligence leader in the FBI's New York field office, pleaded guilty & sentenced to 50 months in prison. Traitor to America & the Constitution.
When people say you are responsible "for fascism" or "democracy dying" for not voting.
Why is it never an option to bring up the fact that they are even more responsible for not participating in organized labor, attempting to expand labor rights, and organizing a general strike to make real and immediate demands that can not be ignored.
No one honestly believes voting is more powerful than direct action.
Anyone suggesting voting is more important than the later is not arguing in good faith.
@ekis don't know much about the real world do you? it's okay.
in the unlikely event we have a general strike in the US the only way it will do any good is if people Pokemon-Strike-To-The-Polls.
you can spend your whole life waiting for a general strike that won't ever come or you can vote for the first president to ever stand on a picket line.
I feel like I post this every few months, but: is there a launcher for #Android AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE to the latest #Pixel Launcher, but lets me use a different search engine?
I love the stock launcher:
• At a Glance
• Combined app/web search
• Very little customizability because good defaults
• Smooth animations/integration w/Recents
• Ability to turn off Google Discover feed
• Simple gestures (⬇️ notifications, ⬆️ all apps)
@cassidy@jcrabapple same, I tried Nova for a hot second on my Samsung and it was way too many configuration options with way too few opinionated defaults.
@jcrabapple <Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 has entered the chat> whatever you think of it's thermals and power consumption it's preventing the Pixels from getting modern SoC's.
