THEY GOT FUCKING COVID
The Twitter API lockout of third-party apps is only the latest reminder of centralization's most important rule: The platform owner has the right to capriciously wreck the businesses of people who accepted the platform's invitation to run a business on the platform.

George Santos, who stole from a small businessman, will be on Small Business Committee.

Marjorie Taylor Greene, who incited Jan 6, will be on Homeland Security Committee.

Scott Perry, who's being investigated by the FBI, might investigate the investigators investigating him.

Hello, sinners!

1. Boost this post

2. Follow my hilariously blasphemous podcast the God Pod and turn on downloads. To find the God Pod, simply search ‘God Pod’ in your favorite podcast app.

3. Listen whenever you want! You’re always guaranteed a fun time. Our ratings and reviews are overwhelmingly positive.

Thank you in advance for your help. 🙏

A strange thing that is currently happening: the House will shortly vote on their rules of operation for this Congress, but there is apparently a 3 page addendum that is secret? I guess if one were intending to vote no, it doesn’t matter that there’s hidden content and similar if one were going to vote yes no matter what. But this sure feels wrong. Unclear when or if the addendum will be made officially available. (One member claims to have a copy, but has not shared it)

JUST NOW: The new House rules would:

-enable the #GOP to defund a criminal investigation into #Trump.

-defund Office of Congressional Ethics.

-enable a #Republican being investigated by FBI to investigate the investigators investigating him.

I'm voting NO on the rules package.

I've seen and heard a few comments saying Brazil's situation "resembles” the U.S. January 6 attack. It's worse than that.

It was inspired by and consciously modeled on the American insurrection. The GOP is no longer a pro-democracy party. They have been for years trying to destroy faith in our democracy and those around the world, undermine our institutions, and gain power to end our democracy.

They are a clear and present danger to our way of life, liberty, freedoms, and rights.

Many Americans used to believe our country was a beacon of freedom and democracy for the world. Republicans turned us into a beacon of how to stage a coup.

All of us need to come to grips with this. We need to act. We need to work to stop them. We need to organize at all levels. This certainly won’t be the last they have inspired. #Bolsonaro #Brazil

This is what I love doing in #FFXIV... I find it so relaxing to do anything related to housing... gardening, crafting, and of course designing!
