Speaking of #MAGA and #META, they seem to be circling closer and reminds me of what #Trump likes to say, "it takes two to tango"

#danawhite was the kid who smashed #zuckerberg into the locker and it hit him, "Why I can have a face and a #likebutton and everyone will like me!

So, that's why the LIKE button was invented for?

Wonder if #amazon was testing #DronesOverNJ to replace #amazondrivers

#CNN  
"Amazon delivery drivers are on strike in four states across the US. Those on strike say that 400 packages, long hours and little help are part of a regular day at work.

Amazon says that the strike won’t have an impact on holiday deliveries, but the delivery drivers who went on strike are hoping it moves the needle at the massive company"

What kind of future Secretary of Defense needs his mom to come out and defend him?
I thought he was against women in combat roles.

And besides, I never saw Donald Rumsfeld be like, "Hey, I have a warning for the Taliban. Mom, you tell them!"

the game is not an android app. It's a card game

Oh, my big mistake, sorry, I must have Android on the mind, smile

So, the _card game_ is a card game, I see that now (see images)

And what a good deal if one buys a 5 pack.

I will tell some University ESL teachers here, they might use the game, because emoji is emoji in any language

#OneBillionUsers is a collaboration between Techdirt and Diegetic Games, there is a very fast talking audio podcast with the guys who are producing this game, #techdirt check out from about the 20min point.

They decided to make the cards (the game is an #AndroidApp) be like #emoji we have today, this what makes it look different than the early game of Touring and Mille Bornes

"'Every time there’s a push for #ClimateAction, [we see] fossil fuel companies downplay and deny the harms of burning fossil fuels..."

The #fossilfuelcompanies dont want you to see graphs like this (see image)

They are very successful at it, I just saw it yesterday

Not funny that oil production makes so much profit that they can get away with producing pollution near the refineries. Texas, Louisiana and New Jersey come to mind

21% of adults in the United States are considered #illiterate

#issacasimov was saying the same, in the 1980s, but it was a feature not a bug

@DemocracyMattersALot

Gigabytes of data from the #heritagefoundation has been released somewhere, but to tell the truth, do we really need anything more than this? (see short ⭕video)

Don't get me wrong, the more evidence of Heritage Foundation #propaganda and #disinformation is a GOOD THING, because there are uninformed voters who get #misinformation from #newsmax #foxtv #oan etc

⭕Paul Weyrich _wanted_ more voter suppression, they are still playing this game

Project 2025 also includes the answer for why Trump will be a dictator this time...

#registertovote #voteblue #vote2024

#Project2025 info by #deanobeidallah on what a cluster plan it might do, like...

1. Replacing the entire federal bureaucracy, including independent agencies such as the DOJ,
under the direct control of the President

2. Ending civil service protections

3. Banning abortion and access to certain birth control

#RealPage allegedly replaces competitive decisionmaking on prices, with a #pricefixing
https://www.propublica.org/article/doj-backs-tenants-price-fixing-case-big-landlords-real-estate-tech

Not every use of an #algorithm to set price violates federal law, but it is unlawful when, competitors ⭕knowingly ⭕combine their nonpublic pricing and supply information in an #algorithm that they rely upon in making pricing decisions, with the expectation that other #competitors #landlords will do the same

@atomicpoet @samxavia

right, so many folks scream #meta bad #threads bad I have no idea how bad, it's just IMO, i dont want to subscribe to an #algorithm site

It seems that everytime I hear a mention of a #telegramchannel in a news story, it indirectly means, #telegram bad

IMO, Telegram is just a great email replacement for friends

Nvidia's shares are $1.78 trillion, eclipsing Amazon's $1.75 trillion value

Nvidia was on #theverge of overtaking #alphabet as the dominant artificial intelligence chipmaker ended the day with a market capitalization above Amazon's for the first time in two decades
