If the inhumane stunts pulled on Christmas Eve by Texas piss you off as much as they do me, consider donating to the group that's stepping up to help these poor, confused folks being treated like cattle by racists:

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate!
Happy random day in December for those who don't!

You take a step toward him. He takes a step back.

They couldn't even keep the grandstanding to a minimum in the final J6 report 🤦♂️
There are *19* pages of forewords before you get to the table of contents FFS.
Maybe if official feeds from actual news sites were relevant and interesting instead of a firehose of shit that they expect you to pay for, people wouldn't feel the need to get their news from social media.
Like, why does one news house even need to cover both entertainment AND politics anyway? Shouldn't they specialize so people can get what they want? It feels like NYT or WaPo are trying to be entire cable packages in a world of cord cutters.

I recently did a massive redesign of a 3d printed magnetic stirrer I designed a few years back. Here's a brief writeup showing what changed (and why) and the evolution of the design process. https://www.cartesiancreations.com.au/design-revising-the-magnetic-stirrer/

All jokes aside, remember what Christmas is really about, people.
Rich people being terrorized by spectres until they agree to pay their employees a living wage.

Hey @freemo, I'm getting a lot of "Rate limited" popups, FYI.

Elon Musk suspended Linette Lopez from Twitter after years of critical reporting on his companies.
In a new piece, she lays out Elon Musk’s playbook of exploiting workers while building a cult following. These tactics aren’t new. Musk has always been this way, regardless of what former boosters like Kara Swisher want you to believe. They were just happy to ignore it for access while journalists like Lopez did the work.
Commercials in December: "Boy, I'm exhausted with this holiday shopping! I must have hit 30 stores today!"

All in favor of modifying the English language to replace the word "blowjob" with "knobberslobber", say 'aye'.

Epic Games, creator of the popular video game Fortnite fined $520 million by FTC in relief over allegations the company violated COPPA and deployed design tricks, known as dark patterns, to dupe millions of players into making unintentional purchases
There are a lot of terrible #Section230 takes, but this one is magnificently stupid:
