Imagine asking someone else to read your correspondence and tell you what’s in it, for “free”?

I don’t think he has time to read shit. I think sycophants tell him things.

@jmorris

The legal burden is on the signer of the contract / terms.

#Aristotle used the term #oligarchy to describe governance by a small, often wealthy or noble group, distinguishing it from #aristocracy, which he viewed as a more virtuous form of rule.

Now I remember why I preferred the opinions of #Plato.

Ultimately, I think the reason folks with privilege and underdeveloped empathy insist on a captive audience is because their egos need a foil.

There is no value in saying transgressive things if there’s no one triggered by it.

The point is to offend and provoke a reaction. That’s it. It’s not complicated.

Reactionaries get bored with themselves.

They need someone to “react” to their crude, self-destructive, nihilistic ways.

Apple's "Siri: Learn From This App" feature is enabled by default for every app on your device.

Siri is analyzing your interactions with apps, including banking, email, and messaging apps, unless you manually opt out one app at a time.

To turn it off:

1. Go to Settings.
2. Open Apps.
3. Select an app, then go to Siri settings.
4. Disable "Learn From This App".

There's NO global toggle.

I dunno how to phrase this, but our definitions of what’s wild, unprecedented, and a mindfuck are gonna need some recalibrating.

For like the next 2-3 decades, at least 🤷🏻♂️

Make #VirtueYelling Great Again

@Nonya_Bidniss

Hope for the best 🤞🏼

Prepare for the worst 🫡

@dannotdaniel @RIJim @IveyJanette

Cruelty will be the point.

Don’t hope for the best.

Expect the worst.

Plan accordingly.

@IveyJanette @dannotdaniel @RIJim

Following SCOTUS decisions it will start with the homeless.

And then property managers and landlords will accelerate evictions.

There is a fine line of circumstances and resources keeping us housed.

They will be exploited first. And hard.

The insecure projection, tho 😬

This part.

@OGjester

#LossAversion and #fear drive the oligarchy.

It always has.

What is the purpose of letting fields lay fallow? I don’t get it. Crop rotation is a thing. Having an asset, choosing not to do anything, and then inviting reporters to talk about the angst is…odd.

@laprice maybe that is covered in the rest of the segment, I dunno

@violetmadder @bodhipaksa

I recommend reading/watching #StationEleven to everyone, because it uses the “Before Times” and “After Times” terminology to define chronology, behaviors, and attitudes, which is very useful to remember, especially when people say “back during the #pandemic” in an offhand way that makes me cringe.

Yes, convicted felons can potentially receive federal #NationalSecurity clearance, but it is challenging and depends on several factors.

The U.S. government evaluates applicants using the 13 Adjudicative Criteria, including criminal conduct, trustworthiness, and rehabilitation efforts. Felony convictions are not automatic disqualifiers, but mitigating circumstances—such as the time elapsed since the offense, evidence of rehabilitation, and whether the crime was isolated—are critical.

FWIW

People who use “virtue signaling” like it was a bad thing do not understand how words work nor what they mean.

They are not Serious People™.

They are Fellow Travelers™ of those who use “woke” as a pejorative.

These are the rules.
