    Stop buying new technology & slow down Crapitalism

    Auto-generated description: Bold, multicolored 3D text features the words AISLOP, RAMpocalypse, CRAPITALISM, and AFFORDABILITY.

    Sick of Copilot, Grok AI, or the upcoming Googleization of Siri? Disgusted with the insane prices for RAM and storage? Tired of watching prices rise for video games, the proliferation of subscriptions for everything, and crapitalists monetizing everything and buying stuff just to kill it off? Well, you can’t affect change on your own, but we, as in “We the people…”, can make a real dent in their appetite with one simple modification to our behavior:

    Don’t buy any new technology for one year.

    That’s right. It’s that simple. If you were going to get a new desktop or laptop or tablet, put it off for a year. If you can’t wait an entire year, buy used or refurbished. Now I’m not suggesting …

    USC and ABC7 criticized for exclusion of all candidates of color in upcoming gubernatorial debate USC says they hired an “expert” to pick, then denied responsibility. “No one in the USC administration had any role in developing, reviewing or approving those criteria.” And yet, they use it. #politics

    A rather fitting video outlining the fall of Julius Caesar and, ultimately, the fall of the republic leading to the rise of the Roman Empire. Very salient today, even thousands of years later. #uspol #TFG #fascism #authoritarianism youtu.be/Nz7BoIlLd…

    Dead Drafts: The Mystery of the Bloody White Whale

    I was combing through my dusty, old writing folder on my NAS where my fiction traditionally goes to die and was reminded of all the projects that sprung briefly from my once fertile mindscape. As I looked them over I felt sadness over so many ideas I allowed to die on the vine. I don’t recall where I was going with this one, but I found the core idea rather hilarious in just a few paragraphs. It’s rather clear I was inspired by Moby Dick, though.

    This is unedited, so there is a big plot hole, some incomplete world building, and one $10 word I should not have used. I have added it to my Ellipsus account, so maybe I’ll work on an updated and more complete version. Enjoy - TKN. #fiction #writing

    MacBook Neo? Yeah, go ahead and buy it!

    The new MacBook Neo in four colors (silver, pink, yellow, and indigo).

    “MacBook Neo Hands-On… Watch BEFORE You Buy!”

    “New $599 MacBook Neo! What Apple Didn’t Tell You”

    “BEFORE you buy the MacBook Neo…”

    “Apple’s $599 MacBook Neo is GREAT (..or is it?)”

    The headlines on countless YouTube videos say it all… right? It’s compromised! Apple didn’t tell you everything! Don’t make the wrong choice! It’s madness, per usual, as influencers scramble to carve out a potentially contentious position on Apple’s new affordable laptop, the MacBook Neo.

    It’s all bunkum, if you ask me.

    These influencers are the same people who complain when their $1200 Pro phones aren’t also the best cameras ever and shocked when …

    I really like the idea behind Wheels & Roses, an #indie #animation about roller derby and magic. The pilot is short and a bit rough in places, but it has real promise and I think they just need resources to improve. Give them some love! www.youtube.com/watch

    The #DOJ has started releasing the #Epstein files because the #TFG Administration is the single most transparent since forever and ever. They made some minor redactions to protect the innocent, of course, though the definition of who the victims are appears to be somewhat fluid. #uspol

    CRITICAL NOTICE: According to the #TFG Administration, this reality you are currently experiencing is a #Democrat plot to funnel gigadillions of our tax dollars into #trans aardvark-staffed weapons factories where they build #gay bombs. Daddy T, however, says everything is just fine. #delusional

    This is WhiteHouse.gov, the nation’s official webpage for the Executive branch of the US government. Apparently this is the new “humor” we’re supposed to be “enjoying” in #TFG’s AmeriKKKa. Disgusting. Don’t fall for the distractions, but remain aware. #uspol #idiocracy #NoFacists

    A parody of MySpace called mysafespace, a place for dems, showing what is supposed to be Hakeem Jeffries' profile regarding the government shutdown. The background is a repeating pattern of sombrero. The overall tone is mocking and juvenile. At the top is a banner ad for TrumpRX and there is a link to information on getting a Trump Card in the navigation. A tracker at the top claims that Democrats have shut down the government for 34+ days.

    The #Democrats and “unbiased” mainstream media’s handling of the #GOP and #MAGA sucks. #TFG & Co.’s messaging is all tightly coordinated. They get their marching orders, are invited onto #CNN and whatnot to spew their lies, whilst Dems change nothing of their messaging. WTAF. #uspol #NOKINGS
