Our species is really good at getting creative with low-budget weapons, whether it’s diseased blankets or catapulting our own plagued corpses at each other.

Just assume anything you’re writing online, on any app, any website, any social media platform… ANYTHING is being tracked now.

We learned from the FBI’s disclosure of the Guthrie kidnapping video that every camera and microphone are surveilling you and feeding that data into a government database without a warrant, so why would you think your apps are doing anything different?

Must be nice to live in a country where your vehicle working is a more important consideration than your vehicle making you feel like a big boy.

Someone’s gotta pay for all that extra tech that the US Government is going to use to spy on you.

And it’d be nice if he weren’t fighting for billionaires in California.

Don’t like it when Donald does it.

Don’t like it when Greasy Gavin does it either.

I wish we could get these fuckers to focus more on affordability and less on dank memes.

It’s okay for things to get worse as long as the blue team is in charge.

Got it. Dynamite drop in, Monty.

Obama promised to codify Roe into law and didn’t do so even though he had a supermajority.

Dems may not say it, but they love that abortion’s an issue that they can fundraise off of, and they have no intention of making it explicitly legal nationwide.

Yup.

I suppose it’s nice to hear that there are a handful of legit progressives out there, but if we ever manage to get a living wage passed in this country, I hope it’s tied to inflation so the capitalists can’t so easily abuse it and gouge prices.

I love the spirit.

Bummer that it didn’t work.

Probably Mint

Mint is very similar to Windows both aesthetically and functionally, and is very easy to install and use. (Mint user here.)

The examples I’ve read about so far, from LLM’s being used to handle patient records to being used to take notes during patient visits, just seem particularly ripe for serious fuckups considering we know how often generative AI simply makes mistakes.

Not that it matters. It isn’t meant to be good. It’s meant to be bought.

Barf.

I actually made a video about this a few months ago: activities one can do on bad depression days when you don’t have any energy to do anything.

For the TLDW crowd, though, here’s the list:

• Sewing (My top task on bad depression days, conquering my sewing pile.)
• Adult Coloring Books (Or Art)
• Bird Watching / Feeding
• Watch Stupid Movies (My go-tos are Rampage and Ocean’s 8)
• Food Prep
• Delete Old Stuff Off Your Phone (This one may only be suitable for those of us with anhedonia.)
• Do Your Basic Computer Maintenance

All of these things take minimal energy and keep the brain engaged without making you overly emotional.

Can confirm. That is 100% natural, god-given talent right there.

Talk about shitty luck.

Oh what mischievous fun.

Agreed.

There’s a reason why you never hear about the Battle of Blair Mountain or Haymarket Square. It’s why your education focuses on MLK instead of Malcolm X, and why no school child has ever heard of Marsha P. Johnson.

Throwing bricks helps move progress along, but no one will teach that to you because the people in power don’t want you to be thinking about kicking their asses. Hell, Luigi probably saved thousands of lives by scaring health care companies into looking past the profit motive for a few days and approving claims.

I’m older and I understand that my optimism for the world, our species, and my assumption that people are basically good were all total bullshit.
