Jon Stewart’s Apple TV Plus show ends, reportedly over coverage of AI and China
Bummer. That’s some weak and feckless megacorp bullshit. Just like something Stewart would cover, which is why this show was such a great power move. And yet? Infinite profit over all else, so never mind.
Look at John Oliver, he talks shit about HBO constantly. Do they care? Nope, because he has more Emmys than anyone could know what to do with. Respect your talent and reap the rewards. Pretty basic stuff, Apple.

Felony charges dismissed against ex-officers charged in Breonna Taylor raid
Judge Simpson said that "there is no direct link between the warrantless entry and Taylor's death."
What?! How does that make any sense? If the cops didn’t illegally enter her apartment without a warrant, Breonna would still be alive today. Cause meet effect. How is that not a direct link?

JK Rowling in ‘arrest me’ challenge over Scottish hate crime law
OR, and hear me out, you could just not be a total asshole? Maybe have a baseline of tolerance and respect for the people who made you a billionaire? No? Then fuck right off and accept the consequences of your hatred.

‘The Witcher’ Renewed For 5th & Final Season At Netflix
Leaving aside the overall quality of the show, you can’t just recast the beloved main character and expect people to still be excited about it. Especially when the original actor is also a gamer who raved about how much he loved the source material, left the show for the right reasons, and connected with the fans so well.
They’ve mishandled this property spectacularly.

Amazon won’t stop sending tortured woman unwanted boxes of shoes
This is really messed up, and I sympathize with her situation, but this is not torture. Words matter. I’d call this harassment, fraud, or malicious company behavior, but not torture. Doesn’t mean it’s right, and the company/seller should absolutely be held responsible.

“May have just legalized murder by one individual”: Experts alarmed at “stunning” SCOTUS ruling
Not “may have,” did. They did legalize any action taken by the person holding the office of the presidency. Trump tried to have his VP killed for fucks sake. That actually happened. It’s no longer the case that everyone in America is equal under the law. The president is now legally allowed to do anything that would get the rest of us thrown in jail. This society isn’t even pretending to be equal anymore. We’re finished.
I’m so fucking tired, and I feel like that was one of the main points of this. Dems are too exhausted and afraid of taking big actions to do anything about this, so like I said, we’re finished.

Trump asks Judge Tanya Chutkan to recuse herself in Jan. 6 case
Well, to Trump any black woman speaking facts out loud is a problem.

Trump Offers Court a $100 Million Bond to Pause a $454 Million Judgment
I would think Trump, like any organized crime boss, understands the difference between “here’s what I owe you” and “here’s a quarter of what I owe you.”
One results in broken legs, one doesn’t.

crazy idea, let's just feed people
There have been some pretty extensive studies that indicate that when you give poor people money, they become less poor. When you give poor people enough money to live on, they stop being poor. It’s a radical concept, but it’s also the truth.

Apartment rents are on the verge of declining due to massive new supply
Has anyone ever had their rent actually decrease? Serious question. I assume this is talking about people who are looking for apartments now, not people who are already paying hilariously high rents.
Find me a landlord that has ever lowered the rent for existing tenants, and I’ll eat the paint chips peeling off my poorly-maintained walls.

The Sunshine State is #1 in fatal crashes at intersections, with more than three times as many deadly intersections (257) as the next highest state, Arizona (82)
Florida. The Sunshine State is Florida for those who don’t know, don’t care, or hate it when authors use nicknames for some proper nouns and actual names for other things in the same category.
It’s petty, I know, but just use the words we all know for fuck’s sake.
Edit: I’m not calling out the OP (thanks for sharing this!), these words that bother me appear in the text of the study.

Georgia Attorney General Brings RICO Indictments Against 61 Activists
This is an egregious abuse of power. The US is built on protest, it’s often the only recourse available. If your policy ideas don’t hold up to public scrutiny and can’t survive a little peaceful demostration, then sorry, those ideas are shit.
One of the individuals charged in the RICO conspiracy is Thomas Jurgens, who was acting as a legal observer at a music festival March 5. Jurgens was arrested while wearing a bright yellow hat marking him as a legal observer.

DeSantis signs bill banning local heat protections for workers
The bill’s passage comes after the state’s most populous county, Miami-Dade, considered local heat protection rules that would have been among the most stringent in the country. That proposal would have required employers to provide shade, water and 10-minute breaks to workers every two hours on days over a certain heat threshold.
The fact that that would have been among the most stringent protections in the country is incredibly sad. Those protections should be in place nationwide by default at a minimum. Nobody benefits from overheated workers, who are human beings by the way. I feel like it’s so much easier to just be decent and take care of peoples’ basic needs.
You’re a monster if you don’t think your workers deserve to have a few minutes in the shade whenever the fuck they want. People will work harder if they feel like they’re safe and respected. Everybody wins.

The Tech Baron Seeking to “Ethnically Cleanse” San Francisco
This is one of the more disturbing things I’ve read in a while, and there’s a genocide going on.
It strikes me that this guy and his followers simply never grew up, because they didn’t have to. Instead of being faced with everyday challenges like the rest of us, their money could insulate them from any degree of hardship or friction. When you live a life where literally everything can be solved with your money, and you’re pretty much guaranteed to never run out of it, there’s no motivation for you to empathize with or even understand other people’s points of view, and thus this scary techno-authoritarianism is born.
These are the people who will prevent us from making any socioeconomic progress. They actually want us all to wear colored shirts and be discriminated against based on our color. Their dystopian vision is genuinely the stuff of my nightmares.

A plane took off from Switzerland with 111 people on board and 0 of their suitcases
“Of course we regret the inconvenience” is so disingenuous. Just shows how procedural this response was. To me, it reads as “We regret the inconvenience because we have to, not because we actually give a shit.”

Isn't OneDrive/Sharepiont the exact OPPOSITE of a shared drive?
It. Is. The. Worst.
Someone shares a file directly, another shares the whole folder, someone else makes a Team, which automatically creates its own sharepoint site that has its own document library. Now someone else shares a file via a Community sharepoint site they have, which is somehow different than a Teams site. The Community site also has its own document library.
Oh and sharepoint is also onedrive? But also isn’t, somehow. I never know. I can sync some stuff to one onedrive folder, and some to another onedrive folder. But it’s all also the same.
To answer your question, you are not alone.
