Why is it legal for them to donate money to policymakers? I don't understand how we just allow lobbying like this. It is a root of corruption! It overrides the will of the people through buying an politicians vote on an issue.

Don't forget his total lack of actual 'prowess' in running Twitter.

  • changing the name to X
  • Firing employees
  • employees severance issues
  • Reneging on free speech promises
  • Using hidden accounts
  • Unbanning of people who should be banned
  • Killing API access
  • Forcing login to view tweets
  • add your fave Twitter dumpster fire item here

Tone-deaf bosses be like, "actually we have a return to office mandate.. We're gonna need a note from your doctor."

The New York Times quoted Bibi on this:

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel condemned the report, saying in a statement that the country’s military “is the most moral army in the world, and no delusional decision by the U.N. will change that.”

Who's delusional... 🤨 Most Moral Army... Uh huh. Kill those women and children. Moral my ass.

It's not antisemitic for criticizing Bibi. Especially that he's acting like an asshole dictator.

When Elon kinda first hit the scene I liked him and was on his side. It’s been through his own consistent inconsistencies and double talk, and also plain crazy talk… that has totally turned me off to him in any area. I think if I can go from ‘almost a fanboy’ to ‘give back Twitter you stupid cunt’; I’m likely not the only one.

I’m sick of him. Like all of it. I wish he’d had gotten put in that car they launched into space. He’s such an 🫏🕳️

She was later sentenced to 15 months in prison for theft and locked up on her son’s 10th birthday while eight weeks pregnant. She was put on suicide watch after collapsing in court. Her case was among those overturned by the court of appeal in 2021.

The inquiry is looking into the wrongful prosecution of hundreds of post office operators who were hounded for more than a decade because of shortfalls in their branch accounts that were due to bugs in the Post Office’s Horizon IT system.

This whole story was already shitty. What a mess and how horrible that so many people were harassed and tormented or jailed and fined due to a buggy system.

I haven’t voiced this before, but after seeing him and his actions for the last 10-15 years… I’ve grown to literally hate him. That smug turtle faced prick. I hate him so much. He’s done so much damage to America. He stalled us on decades of progress. He’s a piece of shit that deserves his shitty health and to rot in hell.

I’m sorry if that’s harsh to say about another human being, but, he is one who truly does not care about anyone but himself and to ‘stick it’ to everyone else who isn’t on his side. He’s truly an evil man.

"Not a single resident will be left without help, we will support everyone as much as possible," Gusev said.

Here is a half loaf of moldy bread, a pair of socks, and a bill for your house being in the way of our bomb.

Boy Y and Girl X should get the stiffest punishment possible. They knew exactly what they were doing. Planned it ahead in great detail. Disgusting trash of society.

Ambulances and private cars rushed some 350 casualties from the al-Ahli blast to Gaza City’s main hospital, al-Shifa, already overwhelmed with wounded from other strikes, said its director, Mohammed Abu Selmia. The wounded were laid onto bloody floors, screaming in pain.

“We are squeezing five beds into a single tiny room. We need equipment, we need medicine, we need beds, we need anesthesia, we need everything,” Abu Selmia said, warning that the fuel supply for the hospital’s generators will run out Wednesday. “I think Gaza’s medical sector will collapse within hours.”

This is heart wrenching and sickening.

This is what I like to see. Not just heels digging in, but explanations as to why, the follow-ups, the investigation of options and follow through. Thanks for the transparency. Piracy has and won’t ever go away. I used to pirate due to lack of money and resources. When I had those I went legit. When legit sources started turning into:

  • monthly subscriptions for everything
  • when legit sources suddenly delete or remove content from their systems (to avoid paying taxes?)
  • when the rates go up for everything (internet access AND streaming services)
  • now ads in your paid services unless you pay more (Amazon)
  • Plex trying to go legit and police where and how people run their private streaming, fucking over license holders who built the financial footing they could stand on in the first place. Cool.

You can’t rely on any shit from these services, except for one shit… enshittification.

I don’t want to sound negative, but as a consumer, it’s been nothing but ads rammed down our throats from everywhere we go and look. They lie, they change rates, they shrinkflate, while their pockets get bigger. Long live piracy.
