Mozilla acquired Anonym, an ad start-up

I wish Mozilla had been really clear about their intentions and end goals with this acquisition. On the face of it, it looks terrible. Especially when you look at their jettisoning of Servo.

What the hell are they up to if making a browser engine isn’t a core competency, but buying an ad company is considered a wise move?

Elon Musk smears Haitian migrants with 'cannibal' claims amid crisis

Imagine having the ability to reshape the world, to impact thousands upon thousands of lives for the better, to make the Earth a better place than it was before you, to leave a lasting history that people will say your name a hundred years from now and feel inspired that they might be able to do something in a small way that you accomplished across all of humanity. But instead you actively choose to steer your life in the complete opposite direction and be a literal sack of shit named Elon.

Texas companies say Republicans are ruining their business

It’s almost like no one wants to live in a red state shithole, geez. What’s wrong with you people, they’re doing their best to make sure your kids are raised without critical thinking, science or history (whatever content suits the old shits in the state legislature is fine, though). Hell they even kicked a million kids off of Medicare this week. Why isn’t everyone flocking to this paradise, can’t you imagine how great it is?

How bike lanes sidelined cyclists: unearthing 190 miles of 1930s cycle lanes

The explanations provided in this article are the same stupid fucking reasons it’s next to impossible and dangerous to ride a bike in America.

No, a bike is not a car and it should not be treated like one.

No, no one I know wants to hop on a bike and share the same lane as a semi truck or teenager in a lifted truck texting on a phone.

Having a bike lane (preferably separate from the main road) where there is at least some breathing room is the only way most people would even consider it. God forbid you should fall off or crash, you don’t risk losing your life over something that would otherwise be a scraped knee.

GTFO with your bikes are cars bull shit.

Trump rally shooter Thomas Crooks was registered as a Republican

Reply in thread

You may not care, but an unfortunate number of people think everyone is in box A or box B and only want to see this through the lens of identity politics.

If Trump’s history serves any precedent, it also kind of shits on his ceaseless narrative of blaming liberals / migrants / LGBT people for all the world’s problems if it was a republican who perpetrated the attack. Leopards would never eat his face, right?
