@washingtonpost ... appeal his sentence ... to keep him behind bars...

Sophie Roske pleaded guilty to attempting to assassinate Supreme Court justice Brett Kavanaugh, and was sentenced to eight years in October 2025.
The Justice Department will appeal her sentence in an effort to keep her behind bars much longer. wapo.st/43Uh0y7

John C. Reilly: “Why aren’t people on the right wing concerned about human rights? They’re human too. Elon Musk says don’t be fooled by the empathy trap. Empathy is not a trap, empathy is a superpower. It’s what makes human beings exceptional, our ability to look outside ourself”

@AP4Liberty "I used to live in a van down by the river until the data centers sucked it dry!"

Do you ever wonder what Chris Farley or John Belushi would have thought about the economics of data centers?

@Pledditor @Strive It's a misnomer to call it a depeg. It's just trading below its target and Strategy has tools to deploy to increase the price if they see the need. The dividend still pays based on $100 price

@notgrubles @Rob1Ham IIRC, that was fixed with the federal bailout of SVB. It literally required a bank bailout to recapitalize USDC

Unless @Apple's decision to terminate @craigraw's Apple Developer account is reversed by June 30, all new installs of Sparrow will fail, and development on macOS will end. If you value Sparrow, a repost would help. @AppleSupport
Craig Raw 🐦@craigraw
My attempt to protect users from scam apps on the @AppStore has gotten my Apple Developer account flagged for termination - ironically, for "dishonest activity". Unless it's reversed by June 30, all new installs of Sparrow Wallet will fail, and development on macOS will end. The context: since 2023, more than a dozen fake "Sparrow" apps have appeared on the App Store, as recently as April this year. Users have contacted me after losing their savings, in some cases their life savings, to these impersonators. I'm the developer of the real Sparrow Wallet, a desktop app, and I hold the registered US trademarks for the name and logo. I have publicly warned @Apple and the community about these fake apps from early 2024, but they keep appearing. The app @Apple flagged was a placeholder that was never published. Its only purpose was to warn users that Sparrow is desktop-only and that other "Sparrow" apps aren't mine. This approach may have been misguided, but there was nothing dishonest about it. I'm confident this is an automated misclassification that Apple would reverse on review - but I may be terminated before a human ever looks at my appeal. The cost would fall on @Apple's own users: blocked installs and no updates for a tool people rely on, which opens the door for more fakes. If you value Sparrow, a repost would help. @AppleSupport

I would like to see you make a voluntary contribution of 5% of your family’s $200M net worth to the government for important healthcare, childcare, and jobs. Don’t worry, it’s just one-time. Your $10M contribution will provide free childcare for over 1,000 California kids for a year! Once you’ve made your personal contribution to a more just and equitable society, I’ll support all your other asset seizure ideas. But you gotta go first…
English
Elon, how about just paying the 5% instead of hurling random insults?
And here are the facts, man. Your USAID cuts did this: ph.ucla.edu/news-events/ne…

@knutsvanholm @frankcorva This is some postmodern bullshit argument.
Words have meaning, not just semantic reframing to support your incoherent point.

@King0nothingash @ChristianHeiens It's a schedule to pay off a mortgage (or other loan) with interest at a predetermined rate with a fixed payment.
English
@ChristianHeiens Am I stupid for not knowing what amortization means? I know a lot I've been told. but I keep learning new things. Maybe I know what it is already, just under a different name.
English
There are apparently people on this site who want you to think amortization is a conspiracy theory, and those people can vote just like you and me.

An American buys a $138,000 home. She sends the bank $9,286. After interest, taxes, and insurance, ONLY $952 goes toward the loan. $8,300 is PURE interest. This is how the system turns ownership into a lifetime of payments.
English
@mickey85424142 @MatrixMysteries It's not frontloaded. You're paying the interest due plus some principal on a schedule to eliminate the principal after 30 years following a fixed monthly payment. You're always just paying the interest on the outstanding principal.
English
@MatrixMysteries No bigger scam than a mortgage loan!. Not only do they frontload all the interest. Which isn't how interest is suppose to work. They created the money they loaned you out of thin air. A computer entry. Presenting zero consideration of their own. NEVER refinance!

@srnorty @AaronWorthing @FeralPHunter None of that shit works. Look at the recidivism rate in Chicago where perps on electronic monitoring continue to offend while on the monitor.

@Trexxl @prestonjbyrne Preston's clients aren't trading in Europe or the UK
English
@prestonjbyrne So if a European company has to abide by American laws to trade in America then surely an American company must abide by European laws to trade in Europe?
English
Keir Starmer's resignation, assuming it happens, does not alter the UK's course on Internet censorship. That regime was and is supported by both of the major parliamentary parties.
I expect a pause on banning VPNs, but not for long. The core infrastructure is still intact.

@ARibbitFromAfar @w_s_bitcoin Ocean is SHA256 mining. The miners won't/can't switch to something else.
English
@w_s_bitcoin For which he conveniently has a mining pool, no? Basically a monopoly on BDashjr mining algo?
There you have a shitcoin, and the only logical step after “firing Core” and “firing the miners” would be firing the users.

You clowns do the same shit, and have repeatedly, for 3 years now.
1) People like me publish calm objective writing, and you just pretend it doesn't exist.
2) After multiple years of that, IN ADDITION TO the objective calm argument, your stupidity and disingenuous behavior is pointed out to you. You again refuse to engage with the arguments, and cry "Oh no, bad words" (completely ignoring the torrent of "bad words" in the other direction).
It's clownish 12 year old level gaslighting, pure and simple.

What problems do you see with paying for Square purchases with bitcoin?

Bitcoin payments are now even easier on Square Register. Your customers can flip the toggle at checkout and pay with bitcoin. No new training needed.
