Just it’s novel to me that an arguably arbitrary line right there is another country.

And that which side of that line you happen to be born on may shape your entire future.

The is nothing in US law that prevents congress from expanding the size of the House to ~330,000,000

While we still can.

And time is limited. Hardware restrictions are coming. It won’t be long until you have to jailbreak your PC to run anything other than MacOS or Windows (and jailbreak the OS if you want to install any software on those that isn’t from their approved app store or ‘digitally signed’ by them) … if it’s even possible to jailbreak – it will become a cat-and-mouse game between big tech trying to lock down your hardware and developers/hackers trying to find ways around their blocks.

Sure, you can keep using old hardware for a while … but things wear out and break eventually, and even the ones that are still working will become increasingly incompatible with more modern protocols and interfaces.

Does anybody?

I don’t have trash pickup, though, lol!

Too expensive in my area. (Seriously, $95/mo for the smallest can, and recycling costs extra!? Fuck off with that shit.)

Some of my trash gets burned in the wood stove – free heat. Some can be fed to the chickens. The rest gets tossed in an old trailer that I drive to the dump myself 2 or 3 times a year. (We don’t generate very much trash in our household in the first place.) For me, nothing much would change. I guess, presumably, if the trash pickup workers were on strike, the dump workers might also be. If the strike went on long enough that my trailer was getting overfilled, I guess I’d have to find somewhere else to dump it.

donald jeremy trump

His real middle name is John.

You know, as in a person who pays a pimp for a prostitute.

Yeah, if I was thinking of running for Congress as a Republican (heaven forbid), I’d probably wait 2026 out. Incumbents will surely shoot their shot, but if you’re running for the first time, why waste the time, effort, and campaign funding when you’re obviously facing such an uphill battle?

Sounds a bit low, honestly.

Though, to be fair, even a lot of raving morons don’t support Trump.

A lot of that crowd is elderly. Even if none of them change their opinion, he’s still going to be losing them over time.

My grandma voted for Trump in 2024 … by mail, from her hospice bed.

Hopefully, she won’t be voting in 2026 or 2028. (Though I wouldn’t put it past my family to cast another mail-in ballot for her ‘because it’s what she would have wanted’.)

Same here. I block all kinds of communities, often just because they’re not relevant to my interests.

I wish I knew a way to block a community without having to visit that community first, directly from my front page where a post from that community is showing up.

I don’t believe he’s ever worn a hat … not for several decades, at least.

Wearing a hat would imperil that very fragile-looking shit on his head that passes for hair.

Guess that’s why I haven’t seen it then. Haven’t touched the configuration since I first got it how I like it years ago.

The driver said something about wanting to stop the limo and beat his ass.

Just think about what the world might be like right now if that had happened…

Remains true, even when I’ve read a depressingly enormous amount of information about him.

You can actually disable the AI agent

Kate has an AI agent now?

Been using it daily for years, never seen a hint of that. Maybe it’s just because I haven’t updated to the very latest version.

Kool

Gotten a bit more blatant lately, though.

To be fair, I kind of get it.

After seeing so many other prominent Dems (inexplicably) ‘taking the high road’, which means doing basically nothing, even seeing one mock the regime in sassy social media posts is refreshing and attention-grabbing.

For all of his many, many, many faults, he’s one of the few who has dared to ‘take the gloves off’ when fighting the fascists … even if it’s actually only in the form of online shitposts. People are desperately thirsty for someone to rally behind and take these fascist fuckers down.

AI “assistants” stealing slightly more data than usual… Who would have thought?
