Fourth of July weekend, and Detroit Edison doesn't seem to be doing much over the fact that around 20% of their customers don't have power (including your truly). I'm so tired of the corruption in this city.

Yeah, I don't get it. I think I got warned by the new AI moderation, I still haven't heard back from "support" (which is probably AI, too).

Imgur just blocked a comment (and threatened to ban my account!) for mentioning that IRC is the last chat platform not controlled by a corporation or a government. I hate this timeline.

It’s telling that Alabama took 14 years to implement Brown (you MUST desegregate) and < 14 days to implement Callais (you CAN eliminate Black districts if you call them Democratic, but you don’t HAVE to).

Better than shooting yourself in the dick because you're scared of horses, or whatever.

I think we all could benefit from more drugs.

As long as we also include the Progressive insurance folks, I'm down. Or just about everyone and everything included in the American insurance industry. It's about time.

Yeah, I'm with you on this. I'm not opposed to open source making money, but this just feels exploitative. Also, I think the Linux version is free because we know how to compile things, lol.
