Odometer tampering and fraud are state crimes

Did you know that the CIA came out with a field manual on how to take down an economy and it comes down to enough people working just above the level of being fired. Slow roll, make mistakes, take breaks, and embrace the antithesis of a sense of urgency. If your corporate employer supported Trump, you may be eligible! Gum up their works now!

Hi, Tim Apple, Chris here. A guy that's embarrassed to say really liked your company for a long time. Tim, can you tell me how your products will be improved now that you've bent the knee to the man in charge who is currently dismantling much of the bureaucratic state with a hacksaw?

@Jain Every time I try out a new video editor, I always come back to openshot, warts and all

@EricFielding Godspeed. Winds were just a slightly more intense than normal for santa ana standards near us up in ventura overnight. Those really high winds hit us during the Thomas fire though, and they are no joke.

@br00t4c “A recent Washington Post news report stated that the public lost trust because they did not understand scientific claims about facts”

I feel like the root cause here is education. We as a society lost the ability to critically think, so to the general public, there are all sorts of false equivalences from random influencers to useful idiots like Joe Rogan, to wildly ignorant presidents of the United States

@br00t4c Even that denim shirt/plaid jacket ensemble is cringing at that shitheel

@br00t4c I love it - the projection these chumps all display is a sight to behold.

@br00t4c Dude is the pudgy brother of the nazi that melts at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark

Shirt being overnighted to Mar A Lago by me, right now.

@br00t4c "Get off the sidelines" to the guy who hand-picked JD Vance and is using his vast wealth to fund his maga/libertarian fever dreams

@br00t4c If she hates lettuce so much why does she wear its colors???

@br00t4c I just noticed he's got a real curious george look to him

@br00t4c The Teamsters lost a ton of credibility with their man up there sucking up to billionaires. But they elected their DeJoy, so now they can live with him

@br00t4c You can abbreviate him as CFDJT if you are into brevity, like I am

@dansup Not to scare anyone, but I just heard this got escalated to the hashtag detectives

@mmasnick YAY! More Masnick! Post here more and ignore the toolbag commenters and pay attention to quality comments like this one.

@ebassi Remembers all those dumb 'email' and 'www' buttons on Gateway-era 90s keyboards that were also a terrible idea

@Mrfunkedude just to add on, remember to tell your inner critical voice to shove it when it acts up

@Mrfunkedude I was gifted a bidet kind of as a joke by my cousin in 2019. Wow. Changed my world. I scoffed at the toilet paper shortage, and have not had itchy butt syndrome since. I'm telling you, it's like having your culo cleaned by weeping Angels' tears of happiness
