@stopgopfox hard to believe the USA fought against the fascists in WWII but are now allowing them to run individual States.

@stopgopfox when do they go after the “little libraries” in people’s yards?

This is having exactly the chilling effect the DeSantis crowd wants, but it's not just Florida or even Texas where school librarians are being constrained from buying books for kids to read. It's Kansas City, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Maine. Even a Brooklyn librarian has concerns about delays in purchases that are keeping kids from having new books to read.

Guess which books are being denied? Books that deal with LGBTQ subjects, books by and about Black people, books about American history and slavery, and books that mention violence and guns. Kids want to read about these subjects.

A Florida pastor said that "children don’t need to be introduced" to sexuality. He wants a "pristine" library. He can stay at church and hide his own head in the sand. Other people including adolescents would like to read about it. Life is not pristine.

Lack of new books is keeping kids from reading. It's only late January, but so far...

Prosecution for having books in the classroom? The fascist crap by DeSantis the past month is more brazenly fascist than most banana republics.

With #OpenCore even my good old 2012 Mac mini runs Ventura 13.2 very smoothly. 😃

I installed the latest macOS Monterey updates. It then said to restart. I click the restart button, it tells me I have more updates, downloads them (they're already downloaded), then tells me to restart to install. Infinite loop. I manually restart. The updates hadn't actually installed. So now what? JFC, Apple, get your 💩 together.

“The refusal of Kevin McCarthy to push back against George Santos is just one more sign that the Grand Old Party has no morals, stands for nothing, and will only reach its justifiable demise when voters decide they’ve really had enough. In the meantime, newly installed Congressman Santos is the GOP’s lying face.

This pisses me off! These people scream and rail against any form of #guncontrol or #GunSafetyLegislation , and then when something like this happens, the most they can say is that you have to live your life in a state of fear and hyper-vigilance! Maybe the solution is to get the death machine out of the hands of the most dangerous creature on the planet! If it is #nomoreguns or #endlessgundeaths , I know what I would choose! This is just utter bull$%17 !

House Intelligence Cmte. chair: “There are election deniers on both sides of the aisle.”

There really aren’t. Election denialism is a problem, but it’s not a bipartisan problem.

The best EV ad I've seen.
Seriously, if EVs had been first to capture the car market, people would have laughed at the ICE.

Folks are treating the recent tech layoffs as something spontaneous. They were not. The current layoffs were orchestrated by a hedge fund (TCI Fund).

This hedge fund demanded that the big tech companies lay people off because they were being paid too much. Let that one sink in: a hedge fund manager saying that you're being paid too much.

Note that TCI is demanding that Google lay off more people.

A few days ago I posted an open Google Doc here and encouraged folks to jump in to brainstorm feature ideas for Mastodon/Fediverse social apps. There are now 6 pages of smart, good ideas, and growing... check it out and add if you have a good one! And pls boost/share with others as you see fit. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1EnkjkSW14hR_uTdwEW7vqRaaIXDMlNQ4WRNoPmnn_z0/edit?pli=1#

Pakistan looks deep within itself, considers the damage wrought by its blasphemy laws and their invitation to vigilante murder, looks through the embarrassing headlines, and agrees: its blasphemy laws are too soft.

It now criminalizes any insults of Muhammad's wives and family, and revokes the possibility of bail for people charged with the crime.

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee reintroduced a bill to prevent white supremacy-inspired hate crimes. Fox News' Tucker Carlson threw a fit over it.
