National guard...

Marines...

Predator drones...

I'm starting to think the US is about to invade the US.

Yet another thing that doesn't surprise me about Meta.

Meta and Yandex are de-anonymizing Android users’ web browsing identifiers

Here’s an idea:

Maybe if we get rid of the system that enables the bigots to exist, we can also get rid of those who cling on to that system.

Yes, I propose throwing out the baby with the bath water because the baby is Rosemary’s Baby and y’all keep acting like changing the water will purify the baby.

I just picked up my CPAP machine today.

And of course it’s internet enabled.

Even has its own SIM card and was already transmitting data while learning how to set it up at the home care office.

I don’t mind if it collected stats on me.

I don’t mind if it sent it to my doctor.

But, from what I understand, it’s also sending data to my insurance company.

That is a bridge too far, but I need the damn thing to survive.

FUCK CAPITALISM!

There are plenty of people out there with deep, booming voices.

@dalias I mean if you want it to.

But who’s buying OG Doom from id (or Microsoft) in 2025?

There is, however, a new Doom game that released last week.

How's Doom going for y'all?

You know, the same Doom made by the company that revoked access to a ICC prosecutor's email account.

Trump's sanctions on ICC prosecutor have halted tribunal's work

"Microsoft, for example, cancelled Khan’s email address, forcing the prosecutor to move to Proton Mail, a Swiss email provider, ICC staffers said. His bank accounts in his home country of the U.K. have been blocked.

Microsoft did not respond to a request for comment."

Doom is made by id Software whose parent company is ZeniMax Media.

And guess who owns ZeniMax Media?

You guessed it!

MICROSOFT!

And guess who's on the BDS list?

@blogdiva I don't know if they are funneling it to ChatGPT.

I think because they are using enterprise Microsoft products, it might be siloed off on private infrastructure.

Given the company I work for, I don’t think they'd want any of that data out there.

Especially since one of their corporate trainings pointed out Samsung's failure to protect their data.

Can someone tell me what the fuck this even means?!

New book alert!

As I sit here and reflect on the #MarchForPalestine yesterday, I'm reminded of all the organization and militancy of the movement.

That doesn't just happen overnight.

It takes building and studying.

But it also takes self-sacrifice. To remove oneself from the movement and to stand in solidarity with those different than you for a collective movement.

Not to think about how you're affected, but to what's happening with your fellow worker.

But to see the reactions today towards the #HandsOff marches from yesterday saddens me.

While it is important to critique movements to improve them, there are people who would rather tear them down altogether.

While I believe they didn't go far enough, I still believe that these people can be moved towards bigger causes.

While they may have been rather "tame" or "safe", under a police state that is not actually true. State violence doesn't have to be physical or immediate.

My son just discovered that the US is the richest country in the world.

Naturally, he first question was "Why is their poor people?”

I don't think he's ready.

Neither am I because I don't know how to make it simple enough to explain to him.

More and more companies are trying to weasel out of accountability to either kill us or enslave us!

I need a really good cushion for my desk chair.

Any recommendations?

Well, that escalated quickly!
