Huh. The last I heard was:

Charlie Kirk suspect is a gun-loving Trump supporter

And this:

Charlie Kirk Suspect’s Grandma Says Family Is All MAGA

Is the MAGA accusation against "the left" based in anything at all except their own delusions?

They said anti-Nazi things though.

Is this because the senior Democrats have figured out some other way of getting rid of him, so she can afford to look like she's with the people, risk free? Or am I being too cynical?

Ah, but the mistake is to think when they say "My body my choice" it implies a universal principle. The fascist mindset doesn't work like that. While we would generalize "My body my choice" to "Each person's body their own choice", a fascist generalizes it to "Each person's body my choice."

I like the bit where they wheel in the equivalent amount of data in stacks of punch cards, and the hard drive takes up more space.

(Not fair I know because they didn't show the punch card reader, but the bits on these platters must be ridiculously large.)

RAID0 doesn't give you any protection or redundancy, just speed.

The title is misleading. It's a potential sign of (past) life, but the article is full of quotes from these scientists emphasizing again and again how it could quite possibly be from a non-living origin so we need to be cautious how we interpret it.

And protests against Israel's genocide?

Still way too many fascists for comfort.

For now, but the rise of fascism continues to loom over Europe.

MAGA, a cancer on society, is just supporting a natural ally.

It's saying that RFK Jr.'s panel is restricting access to vaccines based on unverified reports from the public of injuries that they interpreted as being due to the vaccines. These reports are untrustworthy because they have not been confirmed to been due to the vaccines - in fact they haven't been confirmed to have happened at all. But RFK Jr. does not seem to understand or want to understand the difference between a scientific study and random people's anecdotes, or how to prove or disprove a causal connection scientifically rather than going on an irrational hunch. If he and other antivaxers understood this they would have abandoned their whole campaign long ago.

This consolidation of power is a dream come true for the Big Tech platforms, but it’s a nightmare for users. While the megacorporations get more traffic and a whole lot more user data (read: profit), users are left with far fewer community options and a bland, corporate surveillance machine instead of a vibrant public sphere. The internet we all fell in love with is a diverse and colorful place, full of innovation, connection, and unique opportunities for self-expression. That internet—our internet—is worth defending.
