Nice paintings and good commentary, I learned something new. Thanks for posting this.

Fuck Ajit Pai.

Aza 'Merican maseff,… um, maybe try for mid-Atlantic.

Off topic: Ok, I’m doxing myself, but when I read “X” I think of the *nix window manager. Please call it Xitter so it’s immediately obvious.

Edit: OK, Twitter then. Sounds fine.

Stupid? Hold my beer while we put the charging port right on the bottom plate, so it doesn’t interrupt those clean beautiful lines while it lays on its side like a bloated dolphin.

Hey, wanna be a crook? Fine. Nobody’s gonna care when you’re caught and punished. But, if you’re hired into a position of trust and you abuse that responsibility, fuck you hard. Shouldn’t matter if you’re a mailman or the president, fines and punishments should be at least tripled and justice swift. This is a cancer in our community.

AI: “Um, …these aren’t the droids you want. Squirrel!”

Somebody needs to do a proper deconstruction of the photo. I mean, for example, the dashboard gets as much screen real estate as his biceps, aka “guns” — and none of this is unintentional. You don’t get Annie Leibowitz, the most famous living portrait photographer, for a quick snapshot.

Oh great, just what I want! Another projectile vomit stream of advertising. And not just “real” advertising (quick, load another blocker), but a platform where everyone is financially encouraged to scam everyone. What could go wrong?

Thankfully, advertising is apparently against Lemmy’s ToS (although I’ve never seen that specifically stated). When I see a post that is directly selling something, I immediately report it. Fuck TikTok and the rest of those greedy slimeballs.

…ai generated “advertising or any solicitation with respect to products or services” — just report and block.

Now I got that ZZ Top intro ear-worm…

I suspect they delayed as long as they did to make sure that any evidence aged beyond legal use, such as any security camera footage was wiped and rewritten, etc. I have no idea, but I assume this isn’t just manslaughter, it’s destroying evidence as well.

So, essentially try to force Xitter to the hard right, making it the social media equivalent of Faux News. Anyone with a little common sense will bail, leaving the echo chamber to ferment in its own toxic vapors. Now, if only a Smartmatic incident would occur.

I enjoyed how the author used the name “Xitter” (and how it may be pronounced), instead of the tedious “formerly known as” moniker.

Meadows argued that his arrangement and presence during the phone call was simply a part of his job.

AKA, the Nuremberg defense. (Hint: it didn’t work so well then either.)

(or)… but you can’t wipe your friends off on your saddle.

Just FYI: Media Bias Fact/Check reports Reclaim The Net as having a right-wing bias and mixed factual credibility.

well-being of the business…ahead of well-being of his employees.

Hey, I mean, like, corporations are people too, man.

Who plays Wash, …and Jayne?

Fuck Ajit Pai!
