As things are unfolding in my part of the country, nowhere near a border, I ask
those of us who can to remember that some of us must stand, not only in
solidarity, but in front and protect those who can't fight for themselves!

It is time to be more than an ally!

It is time to be an accomplice!

What’s the point of the Standby mode on the iPhone if I have to unlock it to view the picture slideshow?

Speaking of which, why doesn’t the setting stay in place when I set a specific album to display?

Sometimes, I feel that software features are developed by people who don’t use them.

I do wonder how many Black folks would have been here three years ago if the Mastodon devs and stans actually listened to us back then...

I am getting tired.

We need to be at the point where we start throwing our bodies into the gears to make it stop!

Today is my one year anniversary at my job!

The company gifted me a planted tree somewhere in Oregon to offset their carbon emissions due to their embrace of GenAI.

But, in all seriousness, I am very blessed to have a job given what’s going on in the industry and I am still eternally grateful for everyone who helped me through nearly two years of unemployment before then!

It’s cute when people honestly don’t know that MLK was a socialist.

And that Coretta got him there…

And let me site my source:

I take it back.

It isn't cute.

It's actually going to get a lot of us killed.

There are too many people who still have this warped view of socialism because they can't see outside the bubble of the empire.

However, we cannot let that deter us from the work that needs to be done.

We have a world to win!

@cwebber The num lock on an older laptop keyboard (probably ThinkPad) was turned on.

Using the same tech the cops use!

How about that?!

Tim Apple has been really chummy with Trump lately.

I wonder how much longer #Apple is going to hold in to its privacy standards, before they let the US Empire in?

Tooted from my iPhone

Has anyone thought that maybe this would be a long term goal to make people as sick as RFK so they'd constantly need health insurance?

@nivex SO MUCH THIS!!!!!!!!

Stephen Colbert took a dig at China about a picture of Mao as if the US doesn’t have a mountain with four white men carved into it.

The hypocrisy of the media knows no bounds.

What in the absolute fuck?!
