Does it feel hopeless right now? Do you feel powerless? Let me offer you the following facts:

1. Tesla is tanking so hard right now they had to parade a bunch of cars in front of the fucking White House just to try to boost sales.

2. Target and Walmart have seen sales tank so drastically in the last month they are immediately rolling back their anti DEI stances.

3. Congress has never in history seen this amount of call volume. They typically get 40-50 calls a minute. They are currently trying to field upwards of 1,600-2,000 calls every minute.

4. The Resistance has been so vocal at town halls that the GOP had to officially instruct Republican congressmen to stop doing them.

5. This administration hasn't been able to make a single tariff stick for longer than 3 days because of all the fallout.

You. Are. Powerful.

They expected you to just put your head down and roll over and do nothing. Instead you resisted. You fought back. You showed up. And you continue to show up.

You're showing up for education. For veterans. For trans folk. For women. For immigrants. For people of color. For free speech. For international allies. You're showing up for what's right and you're refusing to obey fascism in advance.

And what's more, there is no coordinated response among the elected officials, judges, and appointed GOP heads. They're floundering. All of them. They weren't expecting this. And they have no idea what to do about it.

I don't know if I've mentioned it here, but if you like completely unedited recordings of live two hour lectures (and who doesn't?) then you can find my recent nonsense here https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJTuln4ze6X_LtYHMNvpx3nMeZhwXeQLo

There aren’t enough cans of spray paint on Earth to damage Elon’s company as much as Elon has.

‘I can’t sit and watch it’ – US volunteers join Ukrainian army after Trump’s sharp policy turn

https://kyivindependent.com/a-massive-spike-in-foreign-volunteers-joining-ukrainian-army-after-us-sharp-policy-turn/

Surprise! The Russians, who have repeatedly said they don't want a ceasefire, have once again said they don't want a ceasefire

If Germans own #Hitler - and we obviously do - then Americans definitely own #Trump .

Saying: "I didn't vote for him!" Is no longer enough. Now the question is: "Do you comply, or do you resist?"

The Germans who grew up after WWII also asked these questions to the generations of their parents and grandparents... and the latter often failed to have good answers.

@jonn@social.doma.dev @jakehamilton@hachyderm.io Nixvim docs explain this: https://nix-community.github.io/nixvim/user-guide/faq.html#how-do-i-use-a-plugin-not-implemented-in-nixvim

I’m shocked, shocked I say, that what we’ve been saying for years now turned out to be true.

Very disturbed by an idea in a theogg video today. "The end of frameworks" and new language ideas because it won't immediately be available in the LLMs and therefore feel more difficult to use.

That just feels so gross. Imagine if tech had stopped 10, 20, 30 years ago because magic autocomplete worked sometimes.

GNU Terry Pratchett. No-one is dead while their name is still spoken.

DOGE is laying off government workers just like Elon did at Twitter -- so if you thought today’s Twitter hack was bad, just wait until the Pentagon starts trending.

Instead of lapping up Jay Graber's nonsense, tech media should ask her some real questions:

Who owns #Bluesky?

Who and in what percentages?

Any outstanding debt or other convertible obligations?

What happened with the Bain Capital funding round announced in early January by Business Insider (https://www.businessinsider.com/x-competitor-bluesky-valuation-new-funding-round-2025-1?op=1) valuing the company at $700M?

Did it close?

If so, how much was invested? Who were the investors?

Now Bluesky's Jay Graber is simply lying.

“If a billionaire came in and bought Bluesky and took it over, or I decided tomorrow to change things in a way that people didn’t really like, then they could fork off and go on to other applications.”

https://observer.com/2025/03/bluesky-ceo-jay-graber-wants-world-without-caesars/

Of course, this makes absolutely no sense, but tech media dutifully just prints it.

What does "fork off and go on to other applications" mean?

What is it she is even saying?

Getting really tired of this gaslighting BS.
