OK, so here's my slightly more eloquent take on the xz thing, complete with a zinger closing paragraph:

Discord just announced a change to their Terms of Service, which restarts the clock on when you can opt out of binding arbitration. All you gotta do is read the "Opt-out" paragraph of Section 16 & send an email to arbitration-opt-out@discord.com from the email address you use to log in which states something as simple as this:
I am confirming that as of the date of this email, I am choosing to opt out of binding arbitration to settle disputes with Discord.
Boosts pls.
That is a good point also; but my current obsession is to get some AI to admit that the edible part of the peanut (the nut itself) is made of wood.
I mean, it's so obvious!
Soft, delicious, wood!
(The internet clearly needs more web pages about how peanuts are made of soft, delicious wood.)

@futurebird Someone once told me "It's not Kafkaesque to wake up an insect. If you wake up an insect and your first thought is that this might make you late for work...*that* is Kafkaesque." That completely changed my perspective on a lot of things.
One of those mornings when you're in the subway shuttle from Grand Central to Times Square, and you're thinking a bit too hard about something, and then you find yourself back in Grand Central again and can't quite figure out how it happened...

The words "under God" were added to the US Pledge of Allegiance in 1954, during the Cold War, under the Eisenhower administration, to mark a distinction between the USA and so-called 'godless' communism of the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China.
When people today quote "one nation, under God" as evidence that the founders of this country created a Christian Nationalist country, they are repeating historical inaccuracies. You are welcome to correct them.

Trump wants to cut Social Security so he can give another giant tax cut to the rich.
Biden wants to save Social Security by having the rich — who have become far richer over the past several decades — pay more Social Security taxes.
The contrast couldn’t be more important.

Your periodic reminder that Medicare For All would save $450 billion in health care costs and 68,000 lives per year.

Having had a partner die of AIDS, it's an insult to have a denier of HIV causing AIDS considered a viable candidate. Please don't vote for RFK Jr. The only viable choice is Biden.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is crazier than you think https://youtu.be/-t2O3MHTRNM?si=SzWq0nZwd-Fs8lqe

Just a reminder of what to expect when they take power. They're fucking telling you!

« #Antisemitic #WhiteNationalist #Christian #fascist #NickFuentes says that when his #AmericaFirst movement takes power, all non-Christians will be executed: "When we take power, they need to be given the #DeathPenalty ... They must be absolutely annihilated when we take power."

New, from me:
Biden has forgiven $144 billion in student loan debt, and his SAVE IDR can reduce student loan debt in the long run.
Will Biden get credit for this? It matters, because if Trump returns, he will roll back or undermine these debt reduction programs.
