We could probably do better.

This is a legitimately great idea. Turn every ICE concentration camp into a museum of their crimes and the people who fought against them.
every ICE agent deserves a life without sleep or comfort
every “ancient tradition” was invented between 1848-1870 and every “modern perversion” is so ancient as to predate writing

Which 🌎 web browser do you use?

Let's tally: if your browser is listed in the replies, fav its first mention. Otherwise reply with the browser you are using. If you use multiple browsers, do this for each one individually.

Holy heck - I never thought the day would come. Roman from Regular Car Reviews is getting Orange Pilled.

Well, not quite all the way there. But this is still an amazing swing for a YouTube channel specifically about cars.

(Since this just got boosted by NJB: if you don't know RCR, keep your expectations low. This is a baby step not a revolution - it's just coming from a very unlikely source.)

Keeping money from going to the Harry Potter franchise isn’t just a symbolic gesture. It’s about preventing real harm to real people.

I've been dealing with a bad case of RSV. At one point, I said to someone, "at least this will help my immunity", but then I looked it up and it turns out getting RSV doesn't seem to give you much immunity to RSV. So much for that!

And there's a theory that covid somehow reduces people's immunity to RSV below the already low levels found in pre-covid studies. Also, I wonder why the RSV vaccine is only approved for older adults and infants?

I didn't realize the facebook execs Mozilla acqui-hired last year have been promoted! I was assuming they were still just heading the ads division of Mozilla, but oh boy, I fucking wish.

Now the
former Senior VP of Marketing of facebook (2008-2022, the finest years of facebook) is the CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER of the entire Mozilla.

And the
former VP of Ads in Facebook (2012-2022), is now the Senior VP of Product of Mozilla.

Let me repeat this:

The guy who used to lead the facebook team that was literally "
advertising to teenagers based on their emotional state" is now the guy who decides the direction of Firefox as a product. But hey, let's keep giving Mozilla the benefit of the doubt uh? I'm sure these people-who-should-be-on-trial-in-the-hague are going to do great things for the community!

Agree or disagree, we need to be discussing Universal Basic Income.

It is too important of a subject just to scroll past.
