Florida keeps losing. First, the trans medicaid funding ban was blocked. Now, the drag ban has been blocked. Suck it, fascist bastards! https://www.lawdork.com/p/florida-anti-drag-law-likely-unconstitutional?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=899862&post_id=130509956&isFreemail=false&utm_medium=email

You don't need to earn rest somehow. Rest is your birthright as a human being. #ShabbatShalom

It’s weird, until Space Karen took over, Twitter used to be the go-to place during any sort of major world event—it’s now impossible to tell real accounts from bullshit so it’s completely useless for this purpose. The one big thing and outstanding feature they had going for them, utterly destroyed.

Self-driving cars are just billionaire death subs for the rest of us.

The takeaway isn't "haha, the richboys died." The takeaway is that #OceanGate was operating with the same absence of regulation and oversight larger corporations are currently advocating for themselves worldwide.

It’s Friday night, baby! Time to put away some laundry and get to bed at a reasonable hour

Glenn Greenwald: Mercenaries, whom I do not support, are acting like Nazis, whom I do not support, when they threaten Russia, which I do not support, instead of battling Ukraine, which I do not support, at the best of the West, which I do not support.

Mufflers, but for coworkers.

Introverts are just extroverts who’ve realized that most people suck.

Starting to think I might prefer Artificial Intelligence over Genuine Stupidity.

Under NDA so can't discuss specifics, but I had a very productive meeting about the future of the fediverse with Your Mom last night

Russia's economy is imploding with the coup. By Monday they won't even be able to afford Lindsey Graham.

Man if Russia collapses a lot of GOP representatives are gonna be unemployed

Oh. Apparently as part of what #Reddit is doing with the API, while they allowed some specific #accessibility apps an exemption, they didn't offer it to any apps that provided #blind users with full moderator functionality. Which means in July, Reddit is going to start removing blind moderators for not being able to moderate, due to Reddit not planning on built-in accessibility to their site or their app, and not allowing exemptions for third party apps that support blind moderators. Indeed, Reddit admins seem somewhat unaware they have blind users and blind moderators. .... I don't think #AaronSwartz would approve. But it seems clear to me that Huffman has no respect for what that man stood for and died for in the first place, and perhaps he never did. If he did, we the tech community would never have forgotten Swartz. https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/23/23771396/reddit-subreddit-community-transcribers-accessibility

Watching the schism between the “make fun of liquified billionaires” people and the “everyone deserves empathy” people has really made me appreciate growing up as the first American born son of Jewish Holocaust survivors, because I’ve always known that there’s evil in the world, not everyone deserves empathy, and it’s fucking great when you get to laugh at the bad people getting what they deserve. If you haven’t experienced enough tragedy to know these things too, I hope you never do.

By Justice Alito’s logic any seat on any private plane can’t count as a gift because if he didn’t fill it it ‘just would have gone to waste’. So if I put $100,000 in a box with a explosive set to detonate in 24 hours and I told Alito he could pick up the money today and keep it because if he didn’t it was just going to go to waste it wouldn’t be a gift or a bribe. What a legal genius. https://www.axios.com/2023/06/21/alito-propublica-alaska-fishing-trip

Will someone please ask Ted Cruz for his views on how firearms could have saved the Titan submersible? #TedCruz #GunControl #Texas #NRA

Odd. I don't see anything about cars, asphalt, guardrails, watches, phones, the internet, or computers, in either the bible nor the USA constitution. Let's outlaw all of that.

Welcome to America, the land of guncare and health control.
