so this is why the mafia wanted to kneecap the Federal Elections Commission. during Trump's term, they completely defunded it, to the point there was one commissioner for the Democrats posting on Twitter memos because they even didn't have a budget for press releases.

Trump is out here asking for billion dollar bribes to get elected. he's literally holding criminal conspiracy dinners at Mar-A-Lago.

"California could soon deploy generative artificial intelligence tools to help REDUCE TRAFFIC JAMS, make ROADS SAFER and PROVIDE TAX GUIDANCE, among other things"

yeah... that'll end well 🙄

Google & Microsoft will be paid $1 for the services but handed a fuckton of personal information linked to taxes and car ownership. that in itself is worth billions to the corrupt techbros running this new AI-is-labor-without-people scam.

"The music industry has been silent on Palestine. Star athletes, so central to the Black Lives Matter movement, have largely been too scared to speak. Most of Hollywood has kept quiet. I know artists and athletes who want to speak up for Palestine but are correctly concerned that they would be putting their careers in danger."

If I was on a label,
you could drop me today
I'd be fine with it
'cause the heart

I want a ceasefire,
fuck a response from Drake

if Macklemore isn't with a label, it explains what's he's doing. this might be his biggest gamble at striking it out as an indy. how that will affect him given the monopsony Ticketmaster and the labels have on music venues, we'll see. but it's an interesting point he makes in the song.

Dear ,
please, give us a short and curt BLOCK PRIVATE MESSAGES FROM PEOPLE YOU DON'T FOLLOW.

when Twitter was Twitter, we could do that and it validated the consent of mutual follows. they are a form of relationship curation, why can't i do that on this platform?

thanks.

PS TO EVERYBODY ELSE: if Mastodon won't do this, which other platform does? Friendica? if am going to have to run my own AP platform, not being able to block DMs is a deal breaker.

IDK if any lawyer is interested in putting sugar in SCOTUS's gas tank, but:

When the Senate judiciary committee voted on Amy Cony Barretts nomination, they didn't have quorum.

The vote wasn't valid. Everything that followed wasn't legitimate.

Pull that thread and you can undo her seat in the bench.

STACKOVERFLOW should be sued under labor laws for forcing people to be indentured to them as a commodity they get to traffic at will.

StackOverflow is treating the mods trying to delete or change their work as property. this is indentured servitude, if not slavery, on a digital level and a far more massive & pervasive scale than Southern cotton plantations or prisons.

INDENTURED SERVITUDE is supposed to be illegal in the United States. why would it not be in the digital realm?

RIDDLE ME THIS @StillIRise1963 why did Comey NOT indict Trump in the FIFA case that got Trump's 'friend' Chuck Blazer not only thrown in jail but dead while he was enjoying being POTUS?

May 2015 Chuck Blazer is indicted in that case; not even a month later Trump announces he is running for POTUS as a republican.

@Adam_Cadmon1 which reminds me, it's so weird that MAGA wankers made "the deep state" sound like a conspiracy theory when it was, in fact, SpooKing George I who came up with the term. Bush 1 wanted to justify hiring actually competent people in non-political positions to make them the long term agents of change that political appointees nor incumbents could be (due to term limits and the like).

This is just of the many tweets that are flooding Twitter these days praising Telegram and discouraging users from using Signal with stupid NSA and FBI conspiracy theories.

Under no scenario you should have Telegram installed on your phone. It's basically the Hulk Hogan of E2EE apps

LOL @campuscodi @briankrebs let me introduce you to TELEGRAMGATE, aka Rickyleaks, that led to 12 days of protests and general strikes in Puerto Rico, sending millions of my people in the island and around the world to bang on pots demanding his resignation as governor of Puerto Rico.

it is the first time in the history of Puerto Rico and the United States (we are a USA territory after all) that a governor was booted out of office in such fashion. thank you Telegram!

so, what my latest impression from the UK is that Keir Starmer is really not the kind of guy who should be representing working class people; what with that "Sir" in front of his name and such. in other words: he's an upper,class twit fucking it up for the Labour Party. or am i off the mark on this one?

is a form of entertainment but it's supposed to be ground in the reality of the action, happening in real time, in front of a witnessing crowd.

i hate, hate, hate how the is getting into the business of blurring reality & fantasy.

it's one thing when fantasy is in its own "container" like EA's games. it's another when it's supposed to be selling a real NYC as part of the .

this place is a composite of several places in NYC. it doesn't exist.

that fake judge Cannon needs to not only be removed from the case, but removed as a judge.

wasn't this Cannon one of a number of Trump & Mitch McConnell appointed judges who had ZERO qualifications for the job?

why are Biden and Democrats legitimizing and normalizing these judicial kakistocrats?

IN A TOTALLY RELATED CASE: the fuckwad millionaire appointed by Trump to destroy the US Postal Service from the inside. why is he still in the job?!?!

for the uninitiated:

"do y'all know one of those fuckers of the Israeli cabinet was on a USA terrorist list?"
https://mastodon.social/@blogdiva/112295486107397970

Israel's minister of homeland security, Itamar Ben-Gvir, is not only a Kahanista, but was on a USA international terrorist watch list.

this is who the Biden administration is arming in this completely asymmetric "war" on Gaza (a forceful reminder that Palestinians, since they don't have a state they do not have an army).
