You prob know this already, but if you duck-search, you can go to a slightly different entry point at https://noai.duckduckgo.com to do web searches without AI slop dumping on you.

I see they've dressed up the landing page there! Now more obviously non-AI. I mean, it's a selling feature, so yeah, go to town guys.

(if you still google things, consider the duck search! it's worked well for me for years, and the non-ai version is a nice step forward).

Reminder — in 2020, at the end of election night, it looked quite bleak. It took several days before enough of the votes were counted to show Biden as the winner.

got laid off in the big dropbox layoffs today.

if anybody is looking for a staff-level engineer who loves mentoring and who is an expert in web security, email security, TLS/PKI, key and secrets management, and general defense security stuff, please feel free to hit me up.

I think it’s a good idea to step back and look at JD Vance as part of the bigger picture:

• A national ban on abortion.
• Revoking no-fault divorce and gay marriage.
• Insults directed at childless women.
• Constant talk about the need for women to have more babies but not to allow immigrants in the country.
• Cult-like support for a man who is the walking definition of a misogynist.

50 billionaire families have spent $600 million+ on the 2024 elections, which is .06% of their total wealth.

The equivalent donation for an avg household would be ~$100.

This means 50 billionaires have the political-spending capacity of 6 million American families.

Oligarchy.

@VP and I will always fight to ensure every American can access the health care they need.

That’s our promise.
Inhalers cost less than $5 to make.

But drug companies charge Americans up to $600 to increase their profits.

My Administration has been cracking down on Big Pharma – and now, three of the four largest inhaler manufacturers are capping out-of-pocket costs at $35.
Through laws I wrote and signed, I enacted tax credits that save an average of $800 per person per year, reducing health care premiums for millions of families.

Those credits expire next year.

Congress, make that $800 expanded affordable health care tax credit permanent.
$35 a month insulin for seniors.
$35 inhalers for asthma.
$2,000 a year cap on prescription drugs for seniors starting next year.

With Senator Sanders' help, we’re showing how health care should be a right – not a privilege – in America.
