Trump posits invading other nations & CNN frames it as "Suggested a territorial expansion?" What?!

It is no wonder people are tired of corporate legacy media and their whitewashing of dictatorship. (CNN ratings are down 52% btw).

The meaning of Luigi’s Fresh Taper cut fade | toureshow (IG Reels):

"This is a jailhouse message that he [Luigi Mangione] is cared for, he is protected, he is respected within that inmate class […] this is the kind of guy that the other prisoners are rooting for."

Thought it would be pertinent to shed some light on who makes up the “inmate class,” and the lengths Pennsylvania cops will take to lock up ... https://micro.fromjason.xyz/2024/12/23/the-meaning-of-luigis-fresh.html

One of the most convincing examples of "why shoot RAW". The left shot here is a processed RAW which clearly shows the central star as red, which matches what it looked like in reality, as best as I can remember. The right one is a camera JPEG, where the red hue is completely lost from this particular spot. Interestingly, two different phones we had with us were also showing it as yellow.

Camera processors are smart, but not that smart.

I've been working on a research project on the #freefediverse
movement for several years now and it's finally published! Thank you to everyone I interviewed and spoke with. This was such a wonderful learning experience through it, I came to love the fediverse, FOSS, and the communities that make them even more.

I don't think the "president Musk" gambit is going to work this time. It worked with Bannon in 2017 because it was genuine and unexpected, and Trump overreacted. This time "the left" laid into it so soon and so heavy-handed, Trump has already shown he's seeing through this. He's just going to mercilessly mock "the left" for desperately willing it to happen.

("The left" here vaguely meaning opposition to Trump, couldn't find a good name.)

Luigi Mangione’s trial begins today. He has pleaded not guilty.

Here’s a snippet of what his lawyer had to say to the judge:

"They’re literally treating him like some political fodder; like some sort of spectical. He was on display to see on the biggest staged perp walk I’ve ever seen in my career.

Honey is stealing affiliate payments from influencers by swapping their links for Honey links at the last second. Honey is also suppressing coupon codes that aren't controlled by Honey.

According to MegaLag, PayPal-owned coupon browser extension Honey is stealing affiliate commissions from people by swapping out the link at the last minute. They do this even when there’s no coupons available. Which is often.

Honey is also favoring their own coupon codes which are often of less value than non-Honey coupon codes. Anyone using this service is better off just searching the web.
