The Onion remains America’s finest news source

@ai6yr I always think when they reveal something like this, it’s something they found back behind some cheese rack.

Rewatching Rogue One as one should after watching #andor and I’m sorry weirdos, when the walker shows up and the little alien guy with the big mouth screams “AT-AT!”, not “Ay-Tee-Ay-Tee!”, but “AT-AT!” — just like it always was.

@WarnerCrocker we need a new constitution, but we can’t get that while fascists are seen as legitimate

@dev μwave will suffer from rain fade. That means no internet in the winter.

My parents used to have DirectTV, and the thing would cut out with even the lightest rain.

I have ATT fiber.

@dnalounge guilotine futures 💪🔪🇫🇷

@feld @tk @volpeon finally a croissant that gets me.

I attended a UC Master Gardener class today at the library, and found out that several branches in San Jose have a seed library. You can just ask for the seed library, and they’ll bring out cases of donated seed packets for you to take home free of charge.

The library! It’s more than just books!

@WarnerCrocker I think you need to edit your comment. The screenshot says the star is on European goods, not American ones.

But also, good for them. Fuck Trump's shakedown bullshit.

@twrling yeah! That’s one I was thinking of. The city by San Mateo with all the canals.

@twrling my money was on Redwood City

@RikerGoogling

@dev bruh. Wisconsin is the hardest drinking state — by like an imperial fuckton.

Do not try to drink a Wisconsite under the table. You will die.

@heafnerj what the fuck is a USian? You often refer to ethnicities with slurs?

@Mabande Thats a pretty naïve defense. After all, a n- just means a person of African descent. And g- just means a person of Roma descent. And j- just short for “Japanese”, and that’s cool right? And t- is just a diminutive for “transexual”, so that’s playful right? And on and on…

It’s not a word Americans use to refer to themselves. It’s not a word anyone uses to refer to Americans except in negative contexts.

If you find a word that refers to a group of people, that they don’t use for themselves in that language, a word that’s used almost exclusively in negative context, and by people with negative biases against those people, and when informed that the term is insulting, and they shouldn’t use it, they righteously defend it, you’ve found a slur.

Name any word that matches that criteria and isn’t a slur. I can’t think of a single example, can you?

@LordsofHardwired @MediaActivist probably fine. Don’t buy the hype about anything than encrypted bodies and attachments though

@MediaActivist that’s just because they rip out subject line and rewriting it themselves or something. I doubt whatever trick they’re doing works seemlessly for whatever non tuta recipient, and certainly does not work for any non tuta sender.

Relying on a proprietary hack to open standard is not good opsec.

@MediaActivist well, the headers are sent — and must be sent — in the clear. That’s just how email works.

@waitworry @PallasRiot yeah it’s kind of weird. A speech that someone (I don’t even think him, if I remember correctly) turned into a poem
