Gee, I wonder why it’s so quiet in D.C.? Video: buff.ly/U9E0GgE

Decompiling closed source software using Claude into non-functional open source software is not how this shit works but more to the point if I go to a project’s website that purports to be about this shit and see “Pricing” that’s a huge red flag.

What the …. Ita right in the open now!!!

Went to the ortho for knee pain. Xray Says i have aome arthritis but omg your hip is awful (AVN?) seemed to think I should be in constant immense pain So now i need to get an mri to see if i need a hip replacement under 50 Also, my knee still hurts

It's also, like most attacks on trans women, an attack on any woman who does not fit into the Western aesthetic of femininity. Hair too short? Not in a dress? Jaw too pronounced? These assholes will accuse her of being a "man" even if she's a cis woman. It's happened multiple times already.

10/10. No notes.

Compliant Technologies is the kind of dumb names i came up with for EvilCorp in stories when i was seven

OMG 😱

Adobe is a greedy garbage company that doesn’t respect artists!! There are plenty of great and more affordable alternatives to Adobe. I’ve really enjoyed using Clip Studio Paint and the Affinity programs by Serif. Here’s a great starting point for alternatives to Adobe:

The better you are at a thing, the more "AI" will be a drag on your time, because it's operating at a lower level of skill than you are, and you have to fix what it does, rather than just do what you already know how to do.

Trump: "An old fashioned term that we use -- groceries. I used it on the campaign. It's such an old fashioned term, but a beautiful term. Groceries. It says a bag with different things in it."

The former head of the Social Security Administration says he expects the agency to miss on some payments over the next three months, interrupting some people's benefits, for the first time in Social Security's history of eight decades: www.cnbc.com/2025/03/01/d...

J. D. Vance thinking that VERMONT would be a good place to hide is just one more bit of evidence that he's not at all in touch with reality.

It's my understanding the current administration was humiliated by its betters today, an observation that will be evergreen for the next three years, ten months

RFK Jr. Vows To Make Measles Deaths So Common They Won’t Be Upsetting Anymore

In a heathy democracy, the WHCA would fight this by boycotting all WH and travel events until the old system was restored. But they’re going to roll over and do whatever it takes to maintain “access” so they can be lied to in comfort

Haha 😂 Trump appointees at USAID sent terminated employees a list of over 100 prohibited weapons they cannot bring when retrieving their belongings. The list includes firearms, axes, martial arts weapons like nunchucks and throwing stars, spearguns, and even dynamite.

I may have undersold this in my thread, but it really is astonishing as a reflection of where our government is right now. People literally don't know who is responsible for major decisions, like with DOJ saying it doesn't know who's in chard of DOGE.

Ian Fleming's original James Bond novels haven't aged well. For example, Moonraker - published almost exactly 70 years ago in April 1955 - features a villain who's a super-rich industrialist and rocket-maker seeking to cause chaos because he's a secret Nazi. Such a silly idea!

A USAID contracting officer (who for obvious reasons is not disclosing her identity) says a company named after its founder Philip Green almost got its federal contract cancelled because the fools at DOGE thought it had something to do with "green" energy. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

whaaaat? they realllly don't like "inclusion"

I've seen a lot of people arguing that "as long as you have your marriage license thats all you've ever needed" and , like, thats the point. they're CHANGING THAT

"I promise, America will soon be the Cybertruck of countries—uglier than you could have imagined, built for rich chuds, borderline inoperable, and on fire."

The universe speaks in mysterious ways.

The first Senators to actually do anything about the Trump admin

If you have any information that you would like the Trump admin to spend time sifting through regarding DEI, you should send it immediately. Any and everything. Y‘know, to be helpful.

KING CANUTE has issued a presidential decree that the TIDE shall henceforward NO LONGER come in! Which should probably last as long and be taken as seriously as most of Orange Julius Caesar’s decrees..,

Never going to forget or forgive a single fucking person who supported him.

with meta starting to follow twitter, should i be abandoning facebook/insta/threads and just living here??

Ann Telnaes, who has worked at The Washington Post as an editorial cartoonist since 2008, says her cartoon criticizing billions currying favor with Trump was spiked — and now she has quit the paper

same idea - donate your clothes to the college LGBTQ+ groups. young trans people applying for jobs who don’t have their parents’ support need professional clothes that they identify with !

i love a good depressive episode. at least with meds they're not very frequent. now if only they could not be weeks at a time too :/

Seen a few folks astonished by my lack of support for ChatGPT and similar. Because AI, right? Yeah, no. What we have right now is glorified autocorrect. Glorified autocorrect that takes the energy of an entire city to do what it does, plus half of Lake Erie to cool down while it's doing it.

Someone did anti-AI glaze for audio!

I think we should all go around the table and tell each other something that fills us with existential dread

I will remember this exchange for as long as I live.
