What are the odds that when they take Trump's fingerprints it blows open some 40-year-old cold case?

"The FBI didn’t work to “suppress free speech,” it and other law enforcement organizations provided information to tech companies about potential foreign threats in an effort to prevent a repeat of 2016.

And they were doing this at a time when Russia was actively trying to repeat what it did in 2016, as Prigozhin admitted."

House Republicans are trying to construct a 2020 conspiracy theory

A top Putin ally just admitted to the sort of interference the FBI was hoping to derail in 2020. Claims that the FBI was trying to undercut Trump make no sense.

"On Tuesday, Musk gathered a group of engineers and advisors into a room at Twitter’s headquarters looking for answers. Why are his engagement numbers tanking?"

Because fuck you, that's why

Elon Musk fires a top Twitter engineer over his declining view count

Inside Twitter 2.0, turmoil leaves employees stretched to the max

When my partner and I sold an anti-spam company to another company, we got to the final steps and then our lawyers said, “Wait! There’s one more thing you have to do before we sign. Write us a check for our services.”

They understood very well that once the purchase went through, the buying company was responsible for payment. And the buying company has no relationship with the lawyers and no incentive to prioritize that payment.

Plus. Anyone who doesn’t insist on payment upfront from Musk is an idiot.

Do what I did. Go to the @Oracle account on Twitter and post criticisms & links of Larry Ellison's campaign donations to the GOP sedition caucus in the midterms.

Permanently suspended within a day. No warning. No timeout.

Musk is doing all he can to provide cover for the Republican billionaires funding fascism.

Once you realize you don't HAVE to swim in an increasingly pee-soaked pool alongside professional liars and assholes like that "Alpha Male" guy and Elon Musk, #Mastodon starts to feel like home. #Twitter https://psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/the-tao-of-innovation/202212/the-psychology-of-mastodon-the-great-migration-from-twitter
The Psychology of Mastodon: The Great Migration From Twitter

Welcome to a decentralized social network that promises to replace Twitter.

Psychology Today

NYT: "Jeff Beck, one of the most skilled, admired, and influential guitarists in rock history, died on Tuesday at a hospital near his home in Surrey, England. He was 78.

The cause was bacterial meningitis, Melissa Dragich, his publicist, said."

Jeff Beck, Guitarist With a Chapter in Rock History, Dies at 78

His playing with the Yardbirds and as leader of his own bands brought a sense of adventure to their groundbreaking recordings.

One fascinating thing about the House Republican's self-immolation is how it is substanceless.

McCarthy's opponents have no specific complaints about McCarthy.

They just don't like him.

And McCarthy has no specific rationale for being Speaker.

He just wants power.

What in the name of desperation... #twitter #Elon

Short rant.

Southwest Air has cancelled ~70% of its flights in an epic meltdown this holiday season.

Remember, Southwest took $3.7B in federal aid from 2020-21.

It’s CEO got a pay raise to a $9.1M package in 2022.

Yet Southwest employees are working 16 hour shifts & threatened w/termination if they refuse overtime or call in sick.

Socialism for the wealthy. Capitalism for workers.

Stop trusting billionaires. Start holding them accountable. And start protecting workers.

End Rant.
