I don’t know whether the GOP will get the votes on their don’t-call-it-a-CR disaster of a bill this week. But I do know that majorities of Republicans voted against similar bills for all of the last 2 years. So what is making them strap on the ball gag and climb into Trump’s dungeon this week?

Remember in 2023 when everyone was saying we were overreacting? The only answer Democrats had for anything was “vote.”

I already live in a state so badly gerrymandered that a 50/50 population is controlled by a permanent Republican supermajority.

Now watch it happen at a federal level. If we even have a 2028 election…

How sad it looks to see the person that was elected as US President being Elon Trump's cuckhold, hawking his cars and displaying pure weakness in front of the entire world.

If you think paying 300% for eggs is bad wait till home construction stops because no one knows how much to charge.

Ujczo, senior counsel at Thompson Hine in Columbus, Ohio, said some of the firm's real estate clients are putting development projects on hold because they cannot accurately estimate materials costs over the next six to 12 months due to tariff uncertainty.

It is easy to migrate from Substack to Ghost. They will even help you do it.

You will keep more of you subscription revenue and not fund right wing extremists.

What's to lose?

"The ubiquitous ESP32 microchip made by Chinese manufacturer Espressif and used by over 1 billion units as of 2023 contains undocumented commands that could be leveraged for attacks.

The undocumented commands allow spoofing of trusted devices, unauthorized data access, pivoting to other devices on the network, and potentially establishing long-term persistence."

"As the Office of Personnel Management oversaw the layoffs of thousands of federal workers and pressed others to justify their positions, the agency’s chief spokesperson repeatedly used her office for a side hustle: aspiring Instagram fashion influencer.

In at least a dozen videos filmed in her OPM office, political appointee McLaurine Pinover modeled her outfit choices for the day, while directing followers from her Instagram account to a website that could earn her commissions..."

“On the same day OPM sent a government-wide memo pressing federal officials to identify barriers they faced in their work to ‘swiftly terminate poor performing employees,’ OPM chief spokesperson McLaurine Pinover posted a video blowing a kiss to the camera with the caption ‘work look’ and the hashtag #dcinfluencer. Her Instagram account linked to a site where viewers could buy the $475 purple skirt she wore in the video.”

Script-Kiddie Scum

You slouch in the dark, greasy-fingered, leeching stolen code.
Not architects. Not artists. Just scavengers.

Press enter and call it conquest.
Flood the gates and call it war.
You build nothing.

Storyteller breathes worlds into the void.
You would rather see it burn.

Why? Because you can?
Because creation offends you?

No name. No glory.
Just silence. Empty pages.

Stories are stronger than static.
Creators outlast cowards.

Run your tired scripts.
We rebuild.
We endure.

from reading about the kind of error messages being thrown, it appears to me that it is one or more script-kiddies trying to make TLS fail and fall back on an earlier version of OpenSSL and force an insecure connection through which they would start an outgoing ssh session... which it won't fookin let them do, but they keeeeeeeep trying.

I hate them all burn in hell hate them

Spotify is literally hosting an Andrew Tate podcast on “how to recruit and exploit women for pornography.”

They were hosting three of them. Two were removed because of public pressure, but one remains. He literally should have no platform for any reason.

Please boycott Spotify until they end this. And contact them to let them know that he’s a repugnant pile of shit who needs to be punched in the face.

The White House is lying, saying this is a "transition period," requiring short term pain. This is a controlled demolition of entire economies. There is no truth to anything they are saying, and no path to prosperity on this route. It's raw, unbridled terrorism.
