dawnlaurier.bsky.social @dawnlaurier.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Yeah, Mike Madrid described losing TX as the Death Star blowing up. As he pointed out, that happened in the 1st movie.

dawnlaurier.bsky.social @dawnlaurier.bsky.social · 12/10/2026With how badly everything is going, I'm wondering again if there could ever be a class-action lawsuit against one of the rightwing networks due to economic suffering following lies presented as coverage to sway voters.

dawnlaurier.bsky.social @dawnlaurier.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Yeah, it sucks as an index of cultural malaise. But if the magats getting wriggly about this are even in TX, they were already fully in the doggiedoo bag for Paxton. 🤷 170
dawnlaurier.bsky.social @dawnlaurier.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Nobody who wasn't already in the doggie-doo bag for Paxton is going to even notice this.

dawnlaurier.bsky.social @dawnlaurier.bsky.social · 11/10/2026It doesn't, TBH. I was a huge HTC phone enthusiast before they left the US market & Google picked up a lot of their IP & dev team.

dawnlaurier.bsky.social @dawnlaurier.bsky.social · 11/10/2026AFAIK, one of the concerns about US AI having millions of nVidia cards warehoused is that nearly every generation has been changing DC rack specs & power/cooling layout.
