See, when people say Democrats need to start DOING things to push back against Trump, this is what they’re talking about.

Is this a foolproof idea? Probably not. Could it backfire? Possibly. Will it really help? If it makes the admin second-guess what it can get away with, yeah, that’s helpful. This is the energy we need. Stop playing softball with these fascists.

I mean, Nazis fighting is Nazis fighting, sure, but it’s still all running over an undercurrent of Nazis veing in charge of the country.

Bro, we all already fucking knew that. This says WAY more about you than it does Trump.

Either you’re just drawing the obvious conclusion, like the rest of us, in which case, this statement is pointless, and you’re an idiot. Or you actually DO know it for a fact, and you’ve been cool with it, this entire time. Also, in case #2, we gotta wonder how you learned that fact. The obvious answer is “because you’re on there, too”.

I hope Pritzker understands that opposing this will LOSE him votes, whether it’s for Governor or President.

It doesn’t even fucking MATTER how you feel about Israel, how the hell is outlawing boycotts and divestment EVER acceptable?

Yet, it seems to me that your argument is, ‘We get to keep on doing it until everyone who is potentially harmed by it figures out how to file a lawsuit and hire a lawyer.’

Nailed it. Because they know full-well that most people DON’T have the capacity to file a lawsuit and hire a lawyer. They are ignoring laws because they know no one will make them stop.

Can’t wait to see the court vote 6-3 the other way.

On one hand, turnabout is always a good time. Maybe it’ll clue some folks in to how bullshit that decision was, from the start.

On the other hand, lol, no it fucking won’t. They’ll just make up some other new bullshit reason that “no, that doesn’t actually apply, in this one specific case, where the person we want to prosecute doesn’t agree with us”.

I’d say it depends on WHY you like the art. Does it tie into the toxic or reprehensible traits of the artist? Was the artist trying to send a toxic or reprehensible message with this art?

If not, then it’s just a matter of ensuring that your enjoyment of the art doesn’t translate into support for the artist. Or, at least, that it doesn’t cross your personal line of support for the artist.

So, for example, does the Kanye music you like have nazi themes or messaging? Far as I’m aware, no, the nazi-ism is just his newest shit, so you’re probably fine as long as you’re not streaming from Spotify or YouTube, or otherwise giving him revenue.

Federal judge hasn’t been paying attention.

Arcane.

Gotta figure he’s considered that possibility. Imprisonment of an elected federal official would be distinctly tougher for Trump to just shrug off.

Not banned… at least not that I know of. Just saw the writing on the wall after the API horseshit.

HHS states that the job cuts will save $1.8 billion. The agency currently has a budget of nearly $2 trillion

30,000 jobs destroyed, for a savings of 0.1%. Wow, such efficiency.

Nah, I definitely think it was a ruse, just not this one. What the fuck were they ever gonna DO with 3 million e-mails coming in within a week? Actually analyze them all to idendify each employee’s value? Nonsense.

A) It was a cheap way to bank an excuse to fire anyone who didn’t respond “for cause” at some later point when they identify people they want to fire, and are looking for cause.

B) They were planning to feed all the responses into an LLM or something similar. Maybe as a way to look for certain “woke” buzzwords and make a hitlist of people to target for firing.

For Canada, unfortunately no. Unless Microcenter is available up there, that’s my go-to these days. You could maybe try them out online, I dunno if they’d ship to you.

Newegg lost all credibility with me years ago.

Who?

A very large portion (maybe not quite a majority) of software developers are not very good at their jobs. Just good enough to get by.

And that is entirely okay! Applies to most jobs, honestly. But there is really NO appropriate way to express that to a coworker.

I’ve seen way too much “just keep trying random things without really knowing what you’re doing, and hope you eventually stumble into something that works” attitude from coworkers.

Great article. Teardowns are top-quality.

I particularly was struck by this:

most likely by justifying an exception to heightened scrutiny, based on the fact that the case involves “medical judgments.”

If these fucks gave a shit about “medical judgements” this case wouldn’t exist.
