My Mom has now convinced herself, and will tell anybody who listens, that she was the very first user of AOL.

2026 is going to be rough.

A real justice system would refuse to recognize Trump's pardons.

They're stealing the moms.
They're stealing the dads.
They're stealing the lives of the children who live there.

You would think that, in a country reputedly born of a revolution against monarchy, the one thing its highest court would not do is empower a home grown monarchy.

I have to admit that the action in this one is not riveting. #monsterdon

Also, when asked about Trump, they should start every reply by bringing up his crimes. Like so:

"Well, you're talking about a man who has been convicted of 34 felonies, held liable for rape, committed fraud, incited an insurrection, and lies as easily as you and I breathe, so it's no surprise that Mr. Trump is once again violating the Constitution when he..."

When talking to the media, Democrats should NEVER refer to Trump as President. They should just call him Donald Trump, Mr. Trump, Trump. etc. Do it consistently and Trump and his minions will notice and it will piss them off. Even better if you can add a contrast like "President Biden did X, but Donald Trump has..." Make the lack of respect consistently, painfully obvious.

The clear all button for MacOS notices is horrible. It appears as I'm clicking the X for what I believe to be a single notice, so I end up clearing notices I didn't know existed and haven't read. Absolutely terrible user experience. #Macos #UX

I'm sick and tired of news media building fear into their headlines. Stuff like "Trump Does Frightening Thing" or "Trump Makes Chilling Remark."

How about "Trump Does Impeachable Thing" or "Trump Makes Insane Remark"?

Grow a spine, press.

eBay still looks and functions like a site built in 1999, and they make lots of money.

Just sayin’.

If I can close my door, forget about stuff, and be left alone, I write about 700 - 800 words per hour these days. And a good session is about 3-4 hours of writing. I doubt that makes me a speed writer but it is enough give me a sense of progress, which in turn builds momentum. #amWriting

"A riot is an ugly thing and I think it's just about time we had one."

Years ago, I was at my grandmother's when she got a cold call from somebody selling investments. When the call came in, she muted her soap opera and answered on her land-line speaker phone (ask your parents, kids). The guy lit right into his sales pitch. At his first pause for breath, my grandmother said, "Listen, if I had any money I'd use it to hire somebody to shut you up." She punched the hang-up button and went back to watching her soap opera.

I will never be that cool.

This interview is bizarre. https://youtube.com/watch?v=AKDM0GFn2M8&si=WWZzBTwhAMi9g0zQ

The sun has been ILLEGALLY shining more light on us than we shine on it. It's been going on for a lot of years and it's VERY BAD. I am putting a 1000% TARIFF on sunlight until we get a FAIR light exchange rate! USA!!!

Elect a criminal, expect crimes.

Keep allowing crimes, don't expect another election.

Far too many people in my industry still think we're somehow special and thus immune to what's happening to the rest of the labor world.

"We've replaced this country's watered down democracy with full strength fascism. Let's see if anyone notices..."

"If you do not recognize that mass destruction of fundamental concepts of democracy and the US Constitution happening right now, you are either willfully ignorant or just plain stupid. I can’t put it any clearer than that."

It’s impossible to disrespect Trump because there’s nothing about him that deserves respect.
