It's not suspicious at all that #Gmail is marking as spam the notifications people were sent about a class action settlement for which #Google is the defendant and liable to pay out proceeds.
One would have thought the plaintiffs' lawyers would have included as a condition of the settlement Google's obligation to ensure that the email notifications did not get marked as spam.
#PSA If you're a US #Android user and you didn't get a notice a few weeks ago, check your Gmail spam folder.

It's quite simple.
When multiple women on the same political side who still work in politics publicly accuse a prominent, powerful politician of sexual assault, and some of them have contemporaneous receipts dating back years, the odds that the man has sexually assaulted multiple women is approximately 100%, and the odds that all those women are lying is approximately 0%.
Hey, ho, #EricSwalwell's got to go.

P.S. "I have certainly made mistakes in judgment in my past, but those mistakes are between me and my wife," means "I have cheated on my wife multiple times."
Given Swalwell's position of power, it is _overwhelmingly likely_ that the women he cheated on his wife with were subordinate to him within a power structure he sat at the top of.
That's nonconsensual _by definition_.
There's a _reason_ why ethical companies prohibit relationships of that sort.

P.P.S. I am completely willing to believe that Swalwell has convinced himself that every one of those relationships was consensual. Men like this legitimately believe that. He's not lying, he's just wrong. Which is all the more reason why he needs to drop out of the race for California governor and find something else to do with his life where he won't have power over younger women.

@plwt LinkedIn is, itself, not credible.

#Microsoft locks account that #VeraCrypt maintainer uses to sign #Windows bootloaders with no explanation or route for appeal. If they don't fix this, in a few months every Windows computer that uses VeraCrypt whole-disk encryption will stop being able to boot and all the data on it that isn't backed up elsewhere will be lost. 🤦
If this doesn't convince you big tech has too much control, I don't know what will.

Take a break from thinking about World War III to think instead about all the shitty tech we're forced to put up with.
My child in grad school just filled a prescription at #CVS. I got the receipt for it in email because despite the fact that they're 26 years old and fully launched, their CVS record is still linked to my ExtraCare account. They asked the clerk how to fix that and was told they had to call CVS on the phone. Can't be changed in the store or the app. 😡

Ten years from now a man in NYC sees an ad, "Piss on trump's grave for $10."

He calls the number but is told he has to go to LA.

"LA? Why, you moved his grave?"

"No, that's where the back of the line is."

In much more cheerful news, this is the good boi my daughter is probably going to buy if the pre-purchase vet check comes back ok. She's been helping to train him for a while and now the owner needs to sell. My daughter has been working toward this moment her whole life.

The GOP could impeach and remove Donald Trump from office in literally one day.
The House could pass articles of impeachment in hours. The Senate makes its own rules for the impeachment trial; they could simply make the rules, "Read the articles of impeachment out loud, then vote on them."
They know he has committed high crimes and misdemeanors. They don't need to see any more evidence or testimony.
Every Republican in Congress is culpable for everything Trump has done.

This is my second "holy shit" of the day.
Apparently #LinkedIn if silently collecting data on every extension you use every time you visit the site. Which it then uploads, with your identity attached to it.
This is absolutely horrifying. Literally, people should go to jail over this.

Three observations about #Handala (#Iran hackers) getting into #KashPatel's Gmail account (ref: https://techcrunch.com/2026/03/27/iranian-hackers-claim-breach-of-fbi-director-kash-patels-personal-email-account/):
1) It is not unusual for govt employees to forward emails from govt to personal accounts, e.g., personal emails inappropriately sent to govt accounts. We would have to know what emails were forwarded to know if there was a problem. Presumably if the forwarded emails were problematic the journalists reporting on this would have reported that?

Uncle had a doctor appointment Monday. I just found out he missed the appointment because the transport van took him to the wrong address. Either the transport company got the rides mixed up, or there were two vans picking up at Uncle's building and he got in the wrong one. 🤦 He's an unreliable narrator so it's impossible for me to tell which is the truth, and from past experience I know attempting to find out from the transport company would be a waste of my time. 🫤

Um… Is raising $100 million in Series B funding and then just… not telling anybody about it for a year a thing that happens? Because at least in my experience, that's not a thing that happens.
It seems like a pretty big red flag when a company raises $100 million and then decides they shouldn't tell anybody about it for a year.
No?

It's hard to pick, but I think this is my favorite line:

I just saw so much suffering in the world that needed to be automated."

@QasimRashid The personally directed hostility that John Roberts needs to experience is at the bottom of a guillotine

@steter Sounds like a blue jay? They're big bullies, love to force other birds to move to make way for them at feeders.

Look at these absolute chonkers.
