We’re gonna be so fucked. Get ready for shittier experiences with internet providers and cell companies.

Republicans are drunk with power. What a stupid fucking idea. There’s no chance of banning porn. Then they wouldn’t be able to jerk to Trans women and feel shame after.

Trans women are hot, in case that reads as though the shame is correct. It’s not.

She’s typically very regal. Gotta love that derpy moment.

The proposal comes after Republicans killed a federal FCC program that provided a $30 discount off the broadband bills of low-income Americans. The Republicans in question claimed they killed the popular program to save money, but a follow up study showed that the program more than paid for itself (by a factor of four) because it helped expand access to remote healthcare, employment, and education.

My state fighting a good fight. We’re flawed, but we sometimes get it right.

Gates said Musk had canceled grants to a hospital in Gaza Province, Mozambique, that prevents women transmitting HIV to their babies, in the mistaken belief that the US was supplying condoms to Hamas in Gaza in the Middle East. “I’d love for him to go in and meet the children that have now been infected with HIV because he cut that money,” he said.

I don’t like Gates as a person. He was out in front arguing that the Covid vax needed protection as a commercial product instead of open-sourcing it. But he’s a thousand times better than the fuckwad Musk. I have no notes for him about his comments in this article.

I never knew this was an option. I was viewing a video from Finder in QuickLook. While jumping back and forth between apps, I accidentally hit Cmd-L in Finder when I intended to be in Safari (to copy a URL). The video rotated left. Cmd-R, predictably at this point, rotated back to the right. I assume images would work as well, but the video hasn't finished playing so I haven't confirmed.

I've been a Mac power user for decades and this was a satisfying discovery.

While the ruling largely sustained Musk’s core complaint, OpenAI did get some claims dropped, including a claim that Musk was misled by public OpenAI statements that the court found he helped write.

That didn't stop him from trying to pursue as if he hadn't help author them. Dirty, scheming asshole piece of shit. He could use his wealth to build outreach centers to help the unhoused or other acts of philanthropy. He does nothing beneficial to humanity with it. Just buys himself expensive stupid toys.

Oh noez! Anyway…

This is brilliant.

Someone asked about the news, out of Punchbowl, that Amazon would soon add a line item at checkout that detailed the “import costs” of purchased goods. If Amazon did this it would join other retailers like Temu that are letting customers know why the cost of buying products from it has more than doubled in the past few weeks.

This short saga shows how the Trump administration plans to deal with the chaos that it has created: By attempting to bully companies into denying the reality that his tariffs are making it more expensive (or potentially impossible) to buy millions of different products. The strategy here—to the extent there is one at all—is to pressure companies into eating tariff costs, pretend that none of this is happening, or to add opacity into the process by having prices shoot up without retailers breaking out what portion of them is from Trump’s tariffs.

Tariffs? What tariffs? Nothing to see here. Move along.
