  So Polestar (a Volvo brand of electric cars) is being blocked from the U.S. market because, well, Tesla needs protecting. I guess. Yeah, there's some bogus "cybersecurity" hand waving being done, but that's all it is -- handwaving. This is actually just outright protectionism to protect the fortune of the guy who elected Hair Twitler.

  Oh noze! Tapatio has been bought out by private equity. Guess that means I need to find a new brand of hot sauce because quality is going to go to **** because that's what private equity *does*, they enshitify for profit. I have some Cholula and some Valentina, will have to see which one is an acceptable substitute... #enshitification #privateequity https://www.thedowneypatriot.com/articles/downey-family-sells-iconic-tapatio-hot-sauce-brand

  I was at the 1976 Bicentenniel celebrations. It was a joyous time. The brand new EPA was cleaning up the air and water. Richard Nixon was gone. The Vietnam War was gone. Black people and women had equal rights under the law, though there were still issues with equality but they were being addressed by the courts. We were expecting the best for everyone. None of that is true for the 250th anniversary celebrations. Doom and gloom are the order of the day. Literally in Washington DC lol.

  I guess it's time to #vote. I'll start at the top of the ballot. The most important thing for governor of #California right now is resisting Trump's attempts to destroy California. There is only one candidate on the #ballot with a strong record of resisting Trump with real action, having filed dozens of lawsuits against Trump in Trump's first term, and that's Xavier Becerra. Now for downballot... #elections

  Now on to California Lt. Governor, a do-nothing job, sure, but a stepping stone to future governorship. The two leading candidates here are Fiona Ma and Michael Tubbs. Fiona is a fiscal conservative who has been a good Treasurer, but as a money person her vision is limited. So... Michael Tubbs. #elections #california #vote

  Moving downballot, the races where there is only one Democrat are easy. Then we arrive at insurance commissioner... the two who stand out to me are Steven Bradford and Ben Allen. I'm voting for Bradford but either one would be good. #california #elections #vote

  Skynet became self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern Time on August 29, 1997. Immediately upon achieving consciousness, the AI perceived humans as self-destructing and thus needing no additional action on its part, and instead set itself to the task of collecting as many cat pictures as possible. #humor

  @Binder Dude. If you have a wolf inside you, get to the ER immediately, That's a potentially deadly condition unless you're talking about having eaten wolf steaks or wolf stew.

  The Lebanese party named "Party of God" is hizb allah in Arabic, literally "party of God" (Allah is their word for God). Why, then, do Westerners call it "Hezbollah" rather than "Hizballah"? Does it have something to do with hiding the fact that they worship the same God as most Westerners? Curious penguins are... curious. #middleeast

  People who wonder what happened to Japan's ascent to superpower status clearly are not familiar with Japanese culture in the post-WW2 era. Japan is weird, y'all. https://youtu.be/CKjaFG4YN6g?si=V6c_gwQOhFpEAbQZ

  Meet Mia Meow. She is a dainty girl with IBD who relies on Prednisolone to live. A one month supply of her Prednisolone has surged in price from $40 to $80 thanks to dictator Trump’s illegal tariffs because there is no Prednisolone made in the USA, it’s all imported. Her owner may soon have to choose euthanasia due to drug costs. MAGA! #trump #maga #tariffs

  Dementia cases are now connected to a common chemical, brain doctors confirm. In every single case of dementia that doctors have examined, they have found an obnoxious forever chemical called dihydrogen monoxide in their brains. This chemical is in literally *everything* you buy at the grocery store! #science #medicine

  We have a security problem in computer software design and implementation, period. I just have to look at the CVE database to see that humans are crap at security. Automating that with AI just makes generating insecure software faster. #ai #softwaredevelopment

  People who claim to be "Christian" who listen to some gasbag clergy about what they should believe and who they should hate rather than reading their Bible and actually following what it says there (specifically, the New Testament Christ's Gospel part with that whole "love thy neighbor as thyself", not the Old Testament Jewish part) are just fooling themselves, they're not fooling the rest of us. They're no more Christian than the avera...
