Sounds like the end of an era. They made some amazing electronics back in the day (and even more recently), but now they're becoming a media company 😐

Toddler-in-Chief

Those vacant fucking eyes

... And then they'll vote for more of the same! 🫨

The Pinkertons are still around!!

I've been on the search for good instrumental music for years. I could list a bunch i like but I'll keep it short and to the point.

One of my all-time favorites, Pullman - Turnstyles and Junkpiles. All acoustic guitars, no vocals. Some of the tracks are unbelievably chill. https://pullman.bandcamp.com/album/turnstyles-junkpiles

This might be my favorite album of all time. This one opened my eyes to a whole world of music: Tortoise - Millions Now Living Will Never Die https://tortoise.bandcamp.com/album/millions-now-living-will-never-die

One more i found recently. Super chill album, the most meditative/relaxing of the 3 I'm posting. Rhucle - The Water https://rhucle.bandcamp.com/album/the-water

You aren't likely that far behind, judging by the way things are shaping up around the world

Have you considered a career in journalism?

Now that's what I call a 'self-own' 👀

I'm honestly shocked he didn't the first time. Yeah, i know 1/6 was about the closest we've seen him try but this time around is gonna be an entirely different beast. He's representing the billionaires, they'll find fund a way to keep him in there as long as they can

I strongly encourage everyone interested in this topic (and you should be!) to read the article because this shit runs deep and they see absolutely no problem approaching the law in this fashion. Absolutely disgusting erosion of liberty and privacy, though it's not the least bit surprising. Here's an excerpt i found particularly chilling--this cop is fully convinced (or acting as if he were) about the validity of this minimal-effort investigation they apparently were ready to arrest someone over. Note that weeks later it was fully disproven and ended with a terse email acknowledging that she provided enough proof to absolve herself as the suspect. No accountability for their mistake, just: "you can go now"

“You know we have cameras in that town. You can’t get a breath of fresh air in or out of that place without us knowing,” Milliman said to Elser, according to Ring doorbell footage of the Sept. 27 encounter viewed by The Colorado Sun.

“Just as an example, you’ve driven there about 20 times in the last month,” he added. 

Along with the Flock footage, the sergeant told Elser he also had a video from the theft victim that allegedly showed Elser ringing the doorbell before grabbing a package and running away. 

My favorite part

“I guess this is a shock to you, but I am telling you, this is a lock. One hundred percent. No doubt,” Milliman said.

😳

But Elser, a financial advisor, told the sergeant she had no idea what he was talking about. She asked several times to watch the video that Milliman insisted proved her guilt, but he refused to show her. And when Elser offered up footage from her Rivian’s onboard cameras to prove her innocence, Milliman said she could bring it to court.

“It doesn’t matter. I’ll be giving this all to you. If you are going to deny it to me, I am not going to help you with any courtesy,” Milliman said.

“It’s kind of funny because we have cameras on our truck, so we could show you exactly where we were,” Elser said. 

We are really fucked here. No accountability on their end, while foisting 200% accountability on ours.

I found this morsel particularly poignant:

"Ironically, Meta expected rights groups to be too busy to step in, given the disastrous geopolitical climate.

“We will launch during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns,” the document reads, as quoted by the NYT."

I can't believe all those stupid anti-biden truck decals etc will be rendered pointless in a matter of months. I better start making anti-Kamala decals if i want to properly capitalize on these next 4 years 🤑

Edit: cry into your fuckin ear-squares ya bunch of sad sacks

The Trump administration has set strict quotas for arresting anyone even suspected of being in the country illegally, with Stephen Miller ordering that 3,000 people be arrested every single day, or ICE officers will face consequences

What the fuck

He's king of the incels

“He’s a lot of fun to be with,” Trump said of Epstein in a 2002 New York Magazine interview.

“It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”

🤢

Why would they? Good on em for standing their ground. This is all so stupid

This is sooooooo fucked up

Also a sobering reminder that this society may not be the best place to bring new children into. I would be beyond irate if that had been my child.

ಠ_ಠ

Prediction: he doesn't show up and nothing happens in response.

I'll gladly be proven wrong though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I love how these assholes are firing people at unprecedented rates as a way of somehow punishing Democrats. The Ds refusal to let the current admin double everyone's medical insurance costs means Rs start dismantling the government as punishment? That's what the Rs want in the first place. They're doing exactly what they want while blaming the Democrats for all the negative effects, as is tradition
