Of course, two days later one of my vendors tripled their prices. So, go back to hating on my servers.

Not all datacenters are evil AI factories. VPSs and cloud storage existed before the AI bubble. They will remain after the bubble bursts. I utilize more than a handful of them. They need to expand too. Stop hating on my servers and backups.

I'm surprised I had to scroll this far for this. My first thought was "Vegomatic 2026."

The editorial cartoonist's pen is one of the sharpest tools in journalism, whittling issues down to basics for satire or rage. I'm proud to say that my long-ago colleague, Milt Priggee, is unafraid to shock with a tough point of view.

e.g.: RCS. Google advocates for this "standard" that interoperates with Apple. However, Google does not share the necessary APIs to implement RCS with competitors (Textra). I prefer Textra, but if I want to use RCS and text with iDevices, then my only option is Google Messages. Anti-competitive.

I can't believe I live in a time when America's enemy in war, creates videos that slap HARD.

I told Google I follow the Bulls and the Bucks. Why does Google feel the need to tell me the winning percentage and a dice icon? I most certainly didn't ask for that information. I don't gamble. In addition, it is ruining sports.

Better than single-payer healthcare too. And "BernieIsRight" and "RestOfTheWorld" healthcare.

Dominant and recessive genes. She can't birth a non-white baby if she's dead.

Good read. Internet connected cameras and microphones are just that. I've noticed my quality of life is significantly better w/o Amazon.

The tinfoil hat wearing angel on my shoulder is telling me it's the Colbert interview. #YouTubeDown

It's happening. The culture is changing, albeit slowly. Who's the tech-bro version of this kid? Scott Galloway, Gabe Newell?

If your business model depends on me buying a subscription or paying for ads, you're fucked.

You're a better man than me. I sail the high seas. Stremio, Kodi. AND I have Pi-holes.

Yeah, I know. Same tactics too. The same Amazon that enshitified the Firestick. Now, I own Onn 4K boxes. No Amazon, you do NOT have a right to show me ads and remove my Android apps. Pay for products and services with ads or to remove them? Not with my money.

Irie Brotha @iriebro.bsky.social · 11/02/2026

TIL. This just confirms the Amazon policy in my house. They snuck in after the ban by being free. Blink and echo show. I shuttered the show.

Um, If she didn't have a Ring subscription, how is there video? And how do I disable my camera when I explicitly cancel the subscription?

Historians will remember 2026 as the year Americans realized Bernie and the rest of the world are right. 2026 will also be remembered as the year Americans realized there are alternative, viable, if not better, desktop operating systems. The AI bubble is bursting as we speak.

How many millions don't have healthcare because Obama lives rent free in his head? Can't have a law by President McBlackie that everyone likes, including red hats. People have/are/will die. A month without lifesaving medication? Insulin? Treatments? Procedures? Thanks Schumer, Durbin, et al.

Only slightly less than the packers. Who beat the pack, twice. I heard your state ran out of antidepressants.

Yes, you missed the platter of meat they had in this SNL skit. Typical Chicagoan diet.

New dating system. Forget that AD and BC stuff. Going forward it's BBBP2 or ABBP2. Before the Bears Beat the Packers twice. After the Bears Beat the Packers twice. The Bears won the Superbowl in the year 40 BBBP2. #Da_Bears

I wearing this cheese grater for at least a week. Good luck getting out of IL. 94 and 41 are probably gauntlets even with state boys escorting. Someone at a foam hat factory in china just came back from lunch and noticed is computer and phone system smoking. #BEARS!

The DuSable Black History Museum is not celebrating Kwanzaa in 2025. Unbelievable. Irmer's resignation mandatory.

I must acquire a cheese grater hat.

This AI bubble needs to burst already. I asked Google a simple question I know is being asked: "What channel is the Bear's game on?" After the obligatory reference and fluff, I asked it to repeat the answer. It actually said: "I don't remember." This is why RAM/storage are at astronomical prices?

Disney, stop trying to make Stephen A. Smith happen. Keep him in his lane of talking about sports he never played professionally. Ignorance is NOT appealing.

Are we even playing bingo anymore? It has been over ever since Thune, very clearly, declared he was not on Team Dictator. R's retirement/defections or golden obituary.

I do their takeout. I like the taste, portions and choice of sauces. However, the prices are up there. The kind of place you pay once, yet you've been there a few times. If the Arby's slogan was a spot on 99th.😉

What was I smoking a month ago? After the last two sentences come true, it's time to convert state legislatures. Schumer still has to go.

MTG should read the names of the Epstein pedophiles, from victims, after Thanksgiving. From the floor of the house, where her speech is protected. BEFORE SHE RESIGNS.
