Work in tech, spin wrenches in my spare time. Maybe I'll find a working camera one of these days and share some adventures.

What the hell are we doing⁉️ Nidal Hasan murdered 13 people at Fort Hood. He deserves to face justice. But Pete Hegseth turning a firing squad execution into a livestreamed spectacle is nuts.

The American white collar workforce started working from home three days a week for like six months a year into COVID and executives so thoroughly lost their minds over this that they installed Trump II. If anything, AI will create the 7-day workweek.

Alarms are blaring as the United States Postal Service orders an influx of contracted-out armed security at facilities just weeks before the midterm elections. The company providing armed security has a history of alleged human rights violation.

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.

I don't know how but we have to teach people to be better at detecting bullshit. Instead we have this ersatz skepticism where people are suspicious about the wrong things and find their way to conclusions that are worse than if they just blindly accepted conventional wisdom

I agree with this comment. Just as the 50 Snapchat guys that did nothing are part of the Cornell 57. Republicans are the same as the Cornell 57 for not calling out accountability to the Pedo-in-Chief. This is disgusting and irresponsible 🤮🤬🖕🏼

Not that anyone needs a reminder but this man has the nuclear codes. Far too many people will just shrug this off or find some way to justify it. But Trump is unwell, incoherent, and a danger to us all.

his LA and SD comments were partly designed to normalize a nuclear attack by an enemy incapable of doing it, so he can nuke them, which is what he wants to do; also partly because we didn’t vote for him so he wants us dead oh if only congress were alive to hear this

Wrongly indicted, charges dropped, and now we learn prosecutors allegedly knew the Reflecting Pool renovation was failing and they charged David Hearn anyway. I hope he sues their asses off.

We didn’t learn anything from Covid. People are already confidently calling the plague a nothingburger. Sure, we have cipro and doxycycline. The obvious concern here is that this strain was modified to be antibiotic resistant or spread more easily. We simply don’t know yet.
