St. Peter don't you call me cuz I can't go...
I owe my soul to the company store (and so do you.)
"U.S. Secretary of Commerce says the ‘new model’ is factory jobs for life—for you, your kids, and your grandkids"
So nice of them to plan the futures of future generations. 🤦♂️

If it quacks like a duck...
I thought military parades were strictly a dictator thing.
Meanwhile cuts to infrastructure and social programs to continue until we're great again.
A massive military parade will take place on 14 June, marking the US Armys 250th anniversary and President Donald Trumps 79th birthday. The event, involving 6,600 troops, 150 military vehicles, and 50 aircraft, will start near Arlington, Virginia, and end on the National Mall. Army officials confirmed the parade's final approval after discussions that began only weeks ago. The celebration, while elaborate, arrives amid sweeping federal budget cuts and job losses, including within the Defence Department.
About to watch a movie that opens with the first pic while the second pic is happening right now.
The can’ts that I am no longer able to even are hitting hard.
Having Trump and his cult in national politics is like reading local headlines about your abusive in-laws and then realizing they've invited themselves to your thanksgiving dinner again.
For whoever Trump picks as his VP running-mate, I hope the question of how they feel about being hanged at the end of their term came up during the interview.
The devil's always in the details on these new employment contracts.
excerpts:
Objectively speaking, we are living through a dumpster fire of a historical moment....Concerningly, though, “living with it” means tolerating greater suffering and instability than we used to, often without fully noticing or talking about it....COVID is a good case study for illustrating the “Collective Denial Playbook” that underpins our new normal reality....If the COVID situation is tracked and the public warned, things don’t feel normal. But if we don’t monitor or mention it, then things can feel “back to normal”—fine, even....We need to guard against lowering our standards for normalcy. When we mentally and emotionally recalibrate to the new normal, we also disassociate from our own humanity.
We need to demand that our leaders give the full truth and hold them to account. We must stand up for the silenced and stand with the silence-breakers.
To counter the new normal’s assault on normalcy, we must double down on our duty to know, to speak up, and to remember.
I absolutely love that Android's webview will just like... fail to keep showing website contents sometimes.
It's not even just big sites, but even plain, simple HTML sites with no fancy JS.
It loads the page and then a half second later it's like, 'Lol, no' and then draws a blank screen instead. But it's actually entirely functional! I can type into text boxes and hit enter and it probably also accepts button presses.
