It's also St. Gertrude's Day (patron saint of cats)!

Wild that a company can just "decline" a recall on their death cheese like that.

The United States is at war with Cuba, but our weapons are aimed at further impoverishing -- and starving -- the population. Destroying the electrical grid will have that effect. It's all blatantly illegal, not to mention immoral. Big Journalism has kind of, sort of noticed, but doesn't really care.

“Karp’s message is loud and clear: My technology will take political capital away from one of your greatest enemies—liberal women with degrees—and give one of your favorite demographics to patronize—working-class men—more political power to transfer to you.”

These fucking women-hating weirdo assholes.

I used to think my nemesis was the finance bro. My mistake. It's the Tech Bro. Specifically, this kind.

Trump, the Ellison family and their cynical -- but rich -- acolyte, Weiss, are spitting on the graves of Murrow and Cronkite. They're neutering the remaining honorable journalists.

CBS was never perfect. But it once stood for integrity. That's done.

It's CBS "News" now.

I do not want that stupid app.
It’s spyware-bloated, full of crap.

I want appliances that work,
without tattling to some techbro jerk.

I’m sick of “AI” garbage-spew,
Sick of silo’d platforms too.

To analog I shall return,
and wait for all this mess to burn.

It’s #STFUfriday!

When cops ask you questions, ask for a lawyer and then STFU:

- I am not discussing how I’m doing or where I’m going.

- Am I free to leave?

- I am not answering any questions.

- If they ask to search anything: "I do not consent to a search."

- I want to talk to a lawyer.

You might think you’ll tell the cops everything and that will be a record that you can use at trial. Wrong.

In most US states, this will be excluded as hearsay or manipulated against you. 🧵
