All the people who are anti-The Precious, I have one question: If The Precious disappeared tomorrow, could you still get through an entire day of catching fish so juicy sweet and guessing what a tricksy hobbit has got in its pocketses?

Every time you check out a library book instead of ordering from Amazon, ask a friend instead of an LLM, cook a meal instead of ordering from an app, or go for a walk instead of scrolling social media, you interrupt the cash flows of insane CEOs. Do it! Ruin their day!

The FCC killed a 22-year-old rule stopping any company from owning stations reaching more than 39% of U.S. households. Your local news station could now get hijacked by corporate overloads to determine what news you get. This should alarm everyone.

How pathetic for an #androidapp to rely completely on Google Play services that it crashes and closes. #androiddevelopers You're better than this! Don't be lazy and rely on someone else's infrastructure! I *know* many apps work just fine and flawless without this reliance! #darthandroid

#Rental #housing in the United States hardly allows anyone to put down roots. It is an unsettling feeling to never know when you are going to have to move on. Each annual lease renewal gets you another year, but that doesn't give enough time for healthy grounding. #MentalHealth #HousingSecurity
