she will receive full due process. This Administration is not going to ignore the rule of law.

Damn it, warn people before someone says this. I almost choked on my coffee.

A little tangential since it's not about RFKJr himself, but Sean O’Mara, the doctor giving dietary advice to the Trump cabinet had this to say, as reported in the NYT:

“When you start eating healthy, you don’t need toilet paper,” he claimed. “Animals in the wild have no residual stool on their anus.” He described a proper bowel movement to me this way: odorless, wipe-free, over in three to seven seconds and “nearly orgasmic.” ... “I could have a bowel movement behind a sheet at a dinner party in the corner of the room,” he said, “and nobody would know.”

Trump and/or his closest allies are taking advice from a doctor who doesn't wipe his ass. And he's proud of it.

Banks do have a shit ton of cameras. Mostly pointed at the employees, because that's where the highest risk is. But everywhere else, too.

For banks that have guards, they want to be as obvious as possible to act as a deterrent. Better to prevent a robbery than to investigate one after the fact.

I held my nose and went to twitter to check the profile. He's definitely pro-AI, though I suppose there's a narrow path of pro-open-source AI but anti-corporate AI.

I think they mean a reddit-style starter pack of default subs. The fediverse is either a firehose, or you have to put in the work to curate your feed.

It's not better or worse, just a difference that takes a minute to get used to.

There is some content that is better as a video. But turning what should be a one paragraph statement into a 15 minute video? Fuck that noise.

I don't have a dog, but I can still recognize animal abuse when I see it.

That said, I think the reason you see this behavior highlighted in media is precisely because it's so abnormal. Calling it out is the mainstream part, so not really that unpopular as far as opinions go, at least in my circles.

What I really don't understand is how Microsoft has a near religious dedication to backwards compatibility at the technical level, but will move on to whatever next shiny object they see when it comes to compatibility at the user level.

Relearning the basic functionality of operating a computer every few years rests entirely on the end user, and never on the developer. It's aggressively backwards.

It doesn't work in the real world, but does PokePunch evolve into Harambe?

The officer tightened the handcuffs around the subject's thin wrists.

"Ow, ow, ow, it really hurts," the subject exclaimed.

The officer pressed his weight into the subject's small body while school staff watched it all unfold. The person he was restraining was 7 years old.
