If your computer or smartphone, that you just paid thousands of dollars to buy, requires you to verify your ID and age it means you don’t really “own” it, you’re just a serf. It also means zero privacy. All part of Big Plan.

Just updated my iPad. It wanted me to take a photo of a credit card. I did not let it. It then told me I might not be able to access certain things. The future is fucking shit.

Good morning.

Tech headlines say Apple will add advertisments to Apple Maps. Everything is turning to sh*t both online and offline so I guess Apple couldn’t resist piling on.

Hey, at least there is a UK based old school search engine now, that respects privacy, and does not use Google's index (like Startpage) or Microsoft's (like DuckDuckGo) at all - https://mojeek.com
Does it give great results all the tjme? Ummm, not quite, but at least it is a nice option to have, that is a "work in progress"

I’m really hoping this book Index to Murder is a gift of thoughtfulness and not some perverse, veiled threat.

Women should not have to do a DAMN thing more than men in order to vote and I cannot BELIEVE this is even up for debate.

There are currently about 22,000 ICE employees and there were just under 95,000 active polling places in the U.S. in 2024.

Even if they only concentrate on the Democratic states, ICE would not be able to cover all the polling stations in 2026.

They're gonna need a bigger Brown Shirt Brigade if they intend to pull off an election day operation.
