@marcoarment I was thinking exactly the same thing - Apple kissing Trumps ring was vile and disgusting. Steve would never have stopped so low. Seriously making me rethink my ecosystem and move away from Apple.
@JoshuaHolland in Australia, he is what we colloquially refer to, as a cunt.
I spent most of a decade traveling to authoritarian countries and teaching people how to circumvent internet censorship. I am appalled that this is now something I have to do in the US.
@macrumors anybody going to ask him why Apple donated $1million to Trump inauguration. Shameful and disgusting

UnitedHealth, employer of slain exec Brian Thompson, found to have overcharged some cancer patients for drugs by over 1,000%

The report is the latest indictment of America’s broken healthcare system.

I’ve been trying out Bluesky, but I just can’t get into it.
It doesn’t have the same vibe or interactions that Mastodon has - it’s a bit of a peculiar place tbh, kinda like a Stepford Wives place 😑

Your weekly Sunday reminder: Your religion prevents YOU from doing things, not others. Keep that mumbo-jumbo shit to yourself.

Here endeth the sermon 🤭

A Christian family member just posted an apology to God that the opening Olympics ceremony used an image of da Vinci's Last Supper. I've never once seen her apologize for most American Christians supporting a lying, unethical, dangerous, narcissistic, adulterer who violates every tenet of her faith.

I do not understand faith that is obsessed with the meaningless and not the vital. Stop obsessing over symbols and start raising your voice about what matters in our spiritual and physical world.

@SrRochardBunson Nice! Sending to my contacts.

If only we had something similar for AI...

@SrRochardBunson
Did they do that with Ford the first time around?
@MaryAustinBooks 😅 they should have, but it was "When you ride alone".
“When you ride ALONE you ride with Hitler!” U.S. Government Propaganda Poster, 1943. – Energy History

@MaryAustinBooks you're more than welcome!

It's amazing how "woke" we were in the 1940s, isn't it?
🙄

@SrRochardBunson Couldn't resist. 😏
@fortyseven @SrRochardBunson
Speaking as a staunch advocate of accessible public transport...LOL 
@fortyseven @SrRochardBunson Ah man this is good! But without Alt-text I can't boost 😞

@SrRochardBunson

Simply true and a classic!

@SrRochardBunson and if you're in Canada, you'll get to pay $9k more for the dubious 'prestige' of driving a Tesla come February!
Given his attitudes, who would want to support that?

Tesla raising prices for its vehicles in Canada by up to $9,000 starting Feb. 1

@SrRochardBunson

Maybe poisoning the brand of the #1 electric car company was the plan all along?

Just a long game version of what he did with twitter?

@SrRochardBunson Now print this out and post copies in parking lots all over the country.

@SrRochardBunson

Where can I order this sticker?

@expertenkommision_cyberunfall I think I'm going to have to look into printing those and this one tonight

@SrRochardBunson

I can just imagine printing some and sticking to windows with water. (Beware water soluble ink jet output though)

@SrRochardBunson I thought that was a VW? Or if you wore anything by BOSS?
