Marco Rubio Is Not the Adult in the Room. He’s the Warmonger.
Every single senator eagerly confirmed their former colleague to be secretary of state, but he is not at all the moderating force that they thought he’d be. https://newrepublic.com/article/204508/marco-rubio-maga-monster-warmonger-venezuela #USPol #MarcoRubio #TrumpRegime
LinkedIn “gurus” convinced everyone that saying “Software Engineer” is too crude, so now every headline is “Helping companies build the future 🚀” which means nothing, takes longer to read and conveys less information. How good.
@Daojoan
Well, "gurus" explains it nicely.

I guess I need to learn Chinese. Because I end up in Chinese restaurants and want things off the Chinese menu but can't read it (and translate apps fail at Chinese 😭).
Sent from the only Chinese place in Punta Arenas where I ordered by pointing at at image of the meal on google that someone posted 😅
@vicgrinberg
I think that's why so many Chinese restaurants have illustrated menus!
People shouldn't have to do this.

@neil funny how much everyone kicked off at Apple for the U2 album 10 years ago and now it's just "...meh". Gradual encroachment works, apparently.
Quit, quit today. We understand.
I honestly don't think I could be in the same room with people willing to do this kind of thing to other human beings. The fact that they're thieves as well probably shouldn't surprise me.

TIL the ending of the original script for Joker (2019) included Joaquin Phoenix's Joker carving a smile onto his face in front of his supporters. However, before Christopher Nolan left WB, he reportedly "killed that idea" because he felt that only his Joker (Heath Ledger) should carve his face.

Dear ICE,
If you don't like being called Nazis, maybe stop doing so much Nazi-like shit?
ICE Agents Arrest Man on Christmas Eve—and Then Steal His Groceries

@kimlockhartga Yeah! I think this is why I found it so interesting since I’m the one with face blindness. Like, I couldn't even recognize my next door neighbor at a grocery store because I typically can only recognize people when they're in a known/familiar setting.
But I do know the difference between these people.
@Alice @kimlockhartga In case this interests you... I'm kind of in your husband's camp in the sense that it's not obvious to me that these are all different people, and the reason is that, although I do see differences between the pictures, in my experience a person's appearance varies over time and depends on what they're wearing and on environmental factors like lighting conditions, and the range of that variation is wide enough to encompass all three pictures. Dunno if that might factor into what he's thinking.
Then again you could also show me several photos of the same person and it wouldn't be hard to convince me they are not the same 🤷
At the start of 2025, some people questioned whether the resistance was dead. They doubted that Trump’s authoritarian agenda would be met with defiance and backlash.

For shame.
Sorry for the rubbish photo.

„Wir kochen doch alle nur mit Wasser“ – neue Interviewreihe #meinweginsweb
Reaktionen wie die folgende begegnen mir immer wieder on- wie offline. Ich weise dann für gewöhnlich darauf hin, dass wir alle nur mit Wasser kochen. Dabei kam mir die Idee, eine Interviewreihe dazu zu machen, wie diejenigen, die andere auf ihrem Weg ins Social Web begleiten (sei es persönlich oder durch ihre Veröffentlichungen), selbst dorthin gefunden haben. Danke dafür an Olga Benner und alle anderen, die mich durch ihre Reaktionen auf diese Idee gebracht haben.

Gaming on Linux hasn't been painless but it's still better than Windows.
Es ist immer wieder spannend, mit welchem Blödsinn einige Politiker:innen meinen, das Volk an der Nase herumzuführen. Koalitionsverträge sind keine rechtsverbindlichen Verträge, sondern lediglich Absichtserklärungen. Sie sind nicht gesetzlich einklagbar. Außerdem sind sie demokratietheoretisch und verfassungsrechtlich umstritten. Anstatt wieder eine neue Baustelle zu öffnen, endlich für das Volk relevante Themen bearbeiten, und zwar zügig!

And sometimes people wonder why I am so vocal about wanting my devices to be *my devices*, and using Free software because I want to be left alone.
Because companies pull off this sort of nonsense.
@neil Can’t stand any pre-installed stuff.
