An average smart-ass IT guy. Used to sell things that took your disposable income. Be it prog-rock, LEGOs, or laserdiscs, I can make any date drowsy in minutes.

When you ask questions about your computer, you hang off my every word, but when I call you out on the patently ridiculous, embarrassingly racist, or uninformed bullshit you post on social media, I'm suddenly the bad guy and/or I don't know what I'm talking about. Interesting.

Did you know every MAGA influencer is in a group chat with people close to the administration where they’re regularly given scripts? They also have a website to sign up for influence campaigns that they never disclose. They’re making bank off of lying to you.

To be clear, someone claiming to be a Pastor whilst worshipping a gold statue of a disgusting criminal isn’t a pastor at all, they are vile immoral fraudsters.

some Americans have literally been paying into Social Security for 50, 60 years; & this multi-billionaire from South Africa dismisses Social Security as a mere "entitlement"--not workers' actual pay, deferred. cutting Social Security would be literally--not metaphorically: literally--stealing earned money from American citizens. please let us hope that MAGA gets this news from some source other than Fox; otherwise, MAGA might agree to it without comprehending.

And there it is. Elon Musk just said he wants to cut Social Security and Medicare, calling them “entitlements”: “That’s the big one to eliminate.”

@plunderbund Can confirm UCFW is terrible. Long ago when I was at Meijer and we threatened to strike during a contract negotiation, the best we got (as customer service workers) was a single $500 payout and a guarantee of a $0.45 raise over three years. This was early 90s.

When a president of the United States calls a black woman journalist a bitch, silence is not an option. Shame on her cowardly coworkers.

The legendary Ian Murdock • Founded Debian in 1993 at age 20, while a Purdue undergrad • Name "Debian" = Debra (his girlfriend) + Ian — she later became his wife • Debian became the base for Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Raspberry Pi OS, hundreds of distros, arguably the most influential Linux project ever • Worked at Sun Microsystems on Solaris • Became Chief Operating System officer at Docker, right at the peak of container adoption • Died December 28, 2015, age 42, officially ruled suicide • His final hours: a series of distressed tweets describing a violent encounter with San Francisco police (claimed they beat him during an arrest), followed by increasingly erratic posts, then silence • His Twitter account was deleted by the family shortly after; the tweets are preserved in archives Debian is still going strong, 30+ years later, without him but his contributions can never be forgotten.

Ted pre-recorded a video of soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines standing in front of the Techwood studios and performing an instrumental version of "Nearer, My God, To Thee," to be aired by CNN at the moment the world ends. That says it all.

RIP Tony Stella. The world has lost a true artist. Tony was one of the last bastions of hand-painted movie poster art. He created this amazing FULL METAL JACKET piece shortly before he died. He only shared it with me and a few others. I hope someone puts out a coffee table book of his work someday. 🙏

We’re saddened to hear of the passing of artist Tony Stella (@studiotstella). His love for cinema shaped work that honored the legacy of hand-painted movie posters. His illustrations were always special and had a very distinctive style. Thoughts are with his family and friends.
