We don’t talk enough about how morally depraved the tech industry turned out to be. Every single ounce of their self-regarding statements of values was an outright lie.

Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:

WELCH: Mr. Yoho is also the husband of your former spokesperson, Tricia McLaughlin?

NOEM: Yes

WELCH: So your former assistant and her husband are the ones that got the DHS no bid contract for $143m. Any dispute about that?

NOEM: No.

Who impeaches members of Congress for allowing President Trumpstein to continue to ignore the Constitution?

God damn Donald Trump and every foe who supports that one. God damn them all to hell. May they know woe and be damned for all eternity. Damn them all.

Iran Attack The President ordered an attack on Iran. It is Congress with the power to declare war, not the President. There is nothing even vaguely an emergency to require his action without approval. There wasn't for the attack on Venezuela. There isn't for the attack on Iran. Not liking how another government does things is not cause for actions without approval. Neither is not liking one's aproval ratings or how we keep demanding proper investigation of the Epstein files. Congress has long given up their power to him on many matters, including tariffs. Find a spine and hold him accountable to the Constitution. If you find yourself so keen for war, then declare it as Congress, and be prepared to defend yourself to history.

If you’re a Democrat in Congress who is considering supporting Trump’s illegal war in Iran, please consider self-immolation instead.

If I were a head of state, I would think setting a precedent that assassination is a legitimate tool of state competition would be unwise

I guess the last time I opened the ReXX Language book Transworld Airlines was still flying.

I loved programming in ReXX. I did amazing work in ReXX on several platforms back in the day

If ever there were a time you might want a separate but equal branch of the United States government to run a check on the president, it would be now ….

Goodbye, Twitter Yeah, I’m done. Elon’s just awful.

So Twiter has long been a Nazi haven and stroker of Elon's ego, but now it also generates child porn if you ask it! So I think the best time to leave Twitter was years ago, and the second best time is now. Here's what I wrote when I left in 2023:

The most Fortean news wording:

"Last month, NASA confirmed 3I/ATLAS is a comet, dismissing speculation that it is alien technology."

The stupidest people are in charge because we couldn’t prosecute a political crime because it would look too political.
