He added my account the other day; I asked and he actually pointed to a repost that was, actually, AI. (A cute animal vid; I missed the tells.)

I un-did my repost, but I'm sure most of the people he adds aren't getting a clue why they're getting added.

I'm still on the list, too.

I love bringing out this anecdote about Rahm:

Someone is going to have to write a "here's why Rahm sucks" piece in the national press, for the benefit of those in the national press who have no damn memories.

Besides Laquan McDonald, here's an example: he is to the right of Pelosi, and his alleged acumen almost doomed the ACA.

I always like to remind people, the majority of Gen Xers weren't Kurt Cobain, they were his classmates who bullied him in school

Hah, I was specifically thinking of this one when I made the comment above

Attention to people living in Illinois, Chicago: you have until Thursday to register a formal message to the state legislature that requiring age verification to install Linux is a horrible idea. This doesn't require writing anything, just filling out a form. Click through this quoted post:
PLEASE y'all, file witness slips in opposition of this ILGA bill that would require OPERATING SYSTEM-LEVEL AGE VERIFICATION.

This is a bad bill on privacy and a bad bill on rights and a technical nightmare with terrible implications. There is no implementation of this that would be good.

Anyway, time for me to repost my thread listing most of the many ways Rahm sucks:

Basically, I don't want to be, shall we say, "fettermaned" again. This guy definitely looks better than that.

I can't be sure their BS in Oregon was the true cause, but the candidate they were spending against lost.

Incidentally the link to "Classic Chicago Magazine" is a 404 error, but you can see it on the Internet Archive. It's an interview with his wife.

This is a regular reminder for Chicagoans reasonably near Montrose & Kedzie, that Sottomarino makes fantastic subs

Going forward I am just going to assume that any single government service that does anything remotely good is going to be shrunk down to a rump so they can pretend it is still working. I assume the savings will be going to a contract that mandates every federal vehicle be a cybertruck.
Now under Trump, the NIH says it is cutting ~$9 billion in federal research grants supporting medical research ranging from cancer to Alzheimer's diseases.

Platforming bullshit that doesn't deserve any consideration is the great underappreciated contributor to the proliferation of so many of our problems

Seems like the only reason anyone may be talking about this nobody is because NY Magazine decided to platform her
Evan Barker quit the Democratic Party and voted for Trump. Now she’s telling (a few) stories about what she saw in a new book that mixes gossip and condemnations of ‘woke.’ Her old colleagues aren’t happy.

Anyway, don't feel too bad if you fell for it. bsky.app/profile/refr...
I think it's good to be caught with minor stuff like this. One day someone will feed us a more consequential lie and maybe we'll all now be less likely to fall for it.

But I fear, that it's just theory. Because of the weird tribal basis to voting, *being*, Republican. These voters can't even fathom casting a vote for a Dem, the cognitive dissonance would shatter their entire identity. Getting them away from "vote red no matter who" is like cult deprogramming.
