Ben Shapiro looking scared shitless but that’s ok because facts (and nobody else for that matter) don’t care about his feelings.

AU/X was a version of Unix written in the late 1980s by Apple that ran on just a few specific Macs, including the SE/30. It was developed in an effort to gain a foothold in the world of institutional UNIX buyers and also US Federal Government-funded hardware purchasing, which required POSIX compliance. System 7 ran in its entirety as a Unix process launched after boot. It's kind of a dead-end evolutionary cousin to OS/X.

***** How #Google employees are reacting to YouTube permitting 2020 election fraud videos *****
Just FYI, I'm hearing from numerous Googlers I know who are absolutely dismayed and embarrassed by the decision to permit 2020 election fraud videos back on #YouTube. These denials led directly to the Jan 6 insurrection and the violence that resulted -- not to mention almost destroying our democracy -- and they feel, as do I, that Google's claim that this is just ordinary political speech is self-serving, hypocritical, and vastly dangerous.
Google has been making a series of serious unforced errors lately in this toxic political environment. This does not bode well for its future, for its users, or for the world at large. I find this extremely distressing. -L

Utah GOP passed a law in 2022 to ban books containing “pornographic or indecent” content from Utah schools, libraries, and classrooms.
So a a parent asked that the Bible be removed per GOP definition of vulgarity—and the committee approved.🤯
In short—the GOP has cancelled the Bible. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

On June 2, 1863, 160 years ago today, Harriet Tubman commanded 300 Black soldiers in the audacious Raid on Combahee Ferry. With the Union Army backing her up, The General, as she was called, liberated 800 people, destroyed supplies, and struck a blow against the Confederacy. She became the FIRST woman in U.S. history to plan and execute an armed expedition, inspiring joy and freedom among over 800 enslaved people.

The billionaire Sackler Family and Purdue Pharma will pay $6B & serve 0 prison for knowingly selling horrendous amounts of OxyContin while claiming it was non-addictive—resulting in 564K+ American deaths by Opioid overdose.😓 And that doesn’t even begin to contemplate the global harm and deaths the Sackler family caused.
And for all that suffering and atrocity—not one person will go to prison. Not one.

The #Bible has been removed from libraries in Utah after a parent used a new law that permits the removal of "pornographic".
The parent argued that the Bible contained topics such as incest, bestiality, genital mutilation, and infanticide, making it pornographic under the new definition set forth in Utah Code Ann. § 76-10-1227.
A GOP lawmaker expressed "sadness" regarding the situation.
