WTF? Florida Legislators Want To Pass Bill Authorizing Their Own CIA

The bill’s language allows scrutiny based on ‘views’ and ‘opinions’, a standard that echoes some of the darkest chapters of American surveillance history.

I hope there is a special place in hell for people who put #oxymorons like "enforce #zerotrust at the edge" onto their slides

What's up with all the #Bluesky folks with a label on their profile that says " #InvalidHandle"? Are these folks being told that they are #oxymorons? Do they not exist if they are not " #ValidHandles"? Will ICE round them up if they never become #Valid?

#Oxymorons sind manchmal bisschen witzig. Zum Beispiel:

@grayface_ghost Libertarian Communist Muslim? Trashing compassion is not a typical muslim thing. It definitely fits in with a libertarian persona.

Pairings of words that contradict one another are known as #oxymorons. Here are some common oxymorons to both delight and disturb:

• Seriously funny
• Found missing
• Open secret
• Liquid gas
• Original copy

• Virtual reality
• Act naturally
• Alone together
• Random order
• Controlled chaos
• Old news
• Living dead
• Civil war
• Jumbo shrimp

@itamarst It's George Carlin's jumbo shrimp redux.

The Years With Ross

<em>So quickly did Harold Ross bring the</em> NEW YORKER <em>to maturity that few can recall today the confusion and naïveté of its first two years. In this third part of his series</em>, JAMES THURBER <em>digs into an old office folder and shows how subcollegiate jokes and frivolity gave way before the varied talents with which the editor was soon surrounding himself.</em>

Social Security denies disability benefits based on list with jobs from 1977
