A beverage company is offering a jet as a sweepstakes prize. What could go wrong? https://liquiddeath.com/pages/winajet
I wonder if his future speeches will have fewer references to illegals committing crimes...

Just to recap, the guy who can’t shut up about how the 2020 election he lost was rigged just was convicted of rigging the 2016 election he won.
@RichardAshbyWilson @tristansnell Right, but since he's a resident of Florida, he'd be subject to Florida laws regarding the matter, right?
@CatHerder @tristansnell Yeah, but a CiC doesn't exactly "enlist".

I know a *little* bit more about American politics than the average bear, and the only thing I’m comfortable assuming about this is:
Anyone who speaks with certainty about what is going to happen in the next five and a half months is full of crap.

Imagine if Twitter still existed right now
@cam @carnage4life Yeah, but he's a resident of Florida now, not New York.
The same Florida where Republicans gutted the constitutional amendment us voters passed to give ex-felons the right to vote back automatically.

@chrishudsonjr I didn't know much about Oliver before watching this, and I had never heard of Wolfe... but now I'm on-board with him and could stand to never hear from her again.

Live shot of Chase Oliver patiently explaining to @reasonmagazine the obvious #libertarian position on trans healthcare for youth, and Liz Wolfe derangely appealing to Jesse fucking Singal. 🤦♂️
@skye The purpose is to allow large rich stagnating companies to maintain market dominance despite the declining quality of their product or service through sheer brute-force recognizability.
@carnage4life Well, for one thing, good software engineers are now much more affordable to startups.
Presumably, by the time acquisitions are back on the rise, there will be a bunch of plump new fruits for them to buy and ruin.
@PeterRobison Yep. Even those of us who own guns and advocate for the right to bear arms generally don't think kids should have access to guns when not supervised by a responsible adult.
Whoever left that firearm out for that kid to grab and use ought to spend many years in jail.
@dbsalk Both of those are delicious.
The #NRA sucks, but this is still an important win for #FreeSpeech.
80 years ago, August 1st 1943, Saint Louis Missouri: A CG-4 glider is demonstrated at an airshow. Its right wing *falls off* immediately after release, killing on impact: two air force crewmen, the *mayor of the city*, the *co-founder of the manufacturer of the failed glider* (who also funded Charles Lindbergh's plane), and six other VIPs. In front of thousands of spectators.
The cause? A company that normally built coffins made the wing strut, and they used too thin of metal.
The result? Several inspectors were relieved of duty.
The company that built the glider survived and was eventually bought out, and now lives on... as American Airlines.
And that was just one incident. It really puts the ongoing media circus around one Boeing failure with no major injuries in perspective.
@WiredForFlight @w7voa Yeah, agreed. I noted in a later reply that this was definitely a closer call than most, but I'm just sick and tired of every little problem (with zero injuries) getting reported like some major catastrophe.
@skye Ouch that sucks. The #1 reason why I even own a credit card is dispute resolution... they've always ruled in my favor.
If you're not too concerned about the "worry they'll just take my money and call it a day" part, you might consider buying a pre-paid credit card at a shop. They're basically just gift cards, so you don't have to worry about credit, but they work everywhere a credit card does.

You may be in a position where leaders in your company are hot to turn on Microsoft Copilot Recall.
Your best counterargument isn't threat actors stealing company data.
It's that opposing counsel will request the recall data and demand it not be disabled as part of e-discovery proceedings.
The threat that keeps your executives up at night are lawyers, not hackers.
