Voiding the warranty since 1965

@ProPublica @QasimRashid
@JamesGleick The latest Clarence Thomas scandal seals the deal. He has handed the Left a gift of UNIMAGINABLE wealth.

Each time he has been in the majority of a 5:4 decision, that decision is now suspect for corruption, and stare decisis no longer applies. Clarence Thomas has handed the left an open invitation to challenge every conservative 5:4 decision for the past 30 years. The list is nearly endless. Just look at all of the Kennedy swing votes to the right.

I need your help…

NPR is leaving Twitter but they are planning to focus on Instagram

We need to tell them to join the Fediverse

Many of their journalists’ accounts, as well as their main account, haven’t been active on mastodon. Tell them how much we need them here. (In fact, they should have their own instance)

Use the link, tell NPR we are waiting for them here and spread the word far and wide:

Worth another toot, so here you go:

Scott Hechinger:

“The killer posted on FB that he might “kill a few people on my way to work,” got in his car, ran red light, drove directly into a #BLM protest, & shot & killed a protester bc he felt “threatened.” & #Texas Gov Greg Abbott plans to pardon him.”

Philip lewis:

Less than 24 hrs after a jury found Army sergeant guilty of shooting & killing a protester, Abbott announced he would pardon the convicted killer as soon as a request "hits my desk"

This is fucking brilliant and right- (if you're American) or spot- (if you're British) on. Bravo, Jonathan Pie.

Did you watch the "Kevin McCarthy's tormentors" this week?

I did. During which I kept thinking of this piece published in the Washington Post in 2012 by Norm Ornstein and Tom Mann.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/lets-just-say-it-the-republicans-are-the-problem/2012/04/27/gIQAxCVUlT_story.html

It's difficult to describe how utterly establishment Mann and Ornstein were at the time. One was at Brookings, the other at American Enterprise Institute.

They saw what was happening: The GOP's attack on all institutions. The press didn't want to know. Now it does.

#journalism #uspolitics

Let’s just say it: The Republicans are the problem.

Republicans have become more extreme than Democrats.

There's always a tweet.

You really don't want to be using Hive social.

⚠️ Warning: do not use Hive Social 👉🐝👈

Dieser Artikel ist auch auf deutsch erschienen. Update: The vulnerabilities are currently no longer exploitable because Hive deactivated their servers. More details Following the Twitter takeover, a number of services promising to be an alternative gained traction. One of those is “Hive Social”, which reached more than a million users in the last weeks. Of course, we were interested and took a look at Hive from a security standpoint. We found a number of critical vulnerabilities, which we confidentially reported to the company. After multiple attempts to contact the company we finally reached them by phone and they acknowledged the report. After multiple days and multiple reminders by us, they claimed to fix them within the next two days. However after those two days, multiple vulnerabilities we reported were not fixed and still existed at the time of writing. ⚠️ We strongly advise against using Hive in any form in the current state.

“We've arranged a society based on #science and technology, in which nobody understands anything about science and technology. This combustible mixture of ignorance and power, sooner or later, is going to blow up in our faces.”
