Gonna catch up on some stories I bookmarked to write about and never got around to for September 2026. This one is the politics edition so it’s about A) the stupid shit Trump Duck is doing, B) whatever crapitalists are getting up to, and C) why we need to resist fascist authoritarianism now with 1000% more oligarchic lunacy. #uspol #crapitalism #activism
Trump's attacks on the press suddenly sound more frantic salon.com
I personally have a problem with this. I mean, how does Marques see the blatant #racism & #sexism of #ElonMusk, #xitter, and #grokai and still cover the #Tesla #cybercab as if this reality doesn't exist? We cannot keep normalizing hate.

I promise this is about #crapitalism, why rich people suck, and that there’s hope. #capitalism #psychology #money www.youtube.com/watch
The idea that more and more things we use in our daily lives are morphing from something we buy to a #subscription model is growing alarmingly fast. The tangible way normal, everyday consumers can telegraph our discontentment with these mounting monthly costs is to stop paying them and use alternatives, like open source. The rub here is that open source developers are perpetually underfunded, so if you’re going to use open source tools, you should direct some of that cash you used to pay for …
This is so stupid. Yet another great reason to ditch #Windows #tech #linux #videogames tech.slashdot.org/story/26/…
So, using our tax dollars to #bribe contractors to abandon green energy projects Californians voted for. What, no screaming about states rights? #uspol #california www.latimes.com/environme…
Well, this should be interesting. And by interesting I mean a complete and utter clusterfuck. #uspol #maga #mtg #tuckercarlson www.salon.com/2026/08/0…
Rather fascinating. #economics #science bigthink.com/strange-m…
Oh, HELL yeah. I don’t always watch condom but when I do, it’s Hathaway. #anime #gundam www.polygon.com/mobile-su…

So, this seems cool. This is a tough nut to crack. #greenenergy #renewables #ocean
I knew there was a reason to horde a bunch of PowerBooks and other random Apple gear from a time when you could be using System 7, Mac OS 8 or 9, or Mac OS X 10.0 and all of your systems could be freshly updated. What an astonishing period of change and growth that was ushered in by ousted founder and eternal iCEO Steve Jobs. I sometimes wonder how much of where we are now did he already dream up before his passing from terminal cancer.

There is a sickness in the US. It has many sources, but some of the major culprits are #crapitalism, classism, a cultural lack of empathy, and the systemic dismantling of public education over decades. This hurts my heart. #pets #dogs #California patch.com/californi…
Overwatch Fans Revolt Over New Skins That Cost Too Damn Much Am I the only one who doesn’t care about buying skins? I don’t mind the drops but the only thing I care about is the gameplay, and I paid for OW and OW2 before the shift to FTP. Enjoy the game, people! #videogames #overwatch
Was sorting through some built-up cruft on my drive and was going through some old screenshots. Came across these and laugh every time I see them. #funny #memes #cats #words
Fascinating and entertaining, “Sorry For The Mess” is an Australian #animation project with a #trans protagonist who gets pulled into a supernatural apocalypse in her hometown of Olympia, Wash. Looks fantastic. Support the #kickstarter. Also Lilly Wachowski is involved. www.youtube.com/watch
Very cool! The most complete and accurate breakdown of the history and genesis of “Lorem Ipsum”, all thanks to Emily Zhang. Very entertaining and enlightening. #design #desktoppublishing #typography #letraset
Two things. One, I don’t think this lawyer knows how bulldozers work. Two, this is the single most terrible legal argument I think I’ve heard since the Three-Fifths Compromise. Then again, I’m not a lawyer. #uspol #ballroom #TFG #crime #breakingTheLaw abcnews.com/US/appeal…
Our Lord #TFG has pardoned a distressingly large number of very terrible people, not just the January 6th rioters, whom he likes to call “hostages”. John Oliver details this in his latest video. #uspol #j6 #LWTWJO #crime #treason #fraud
Apple’s Multi Device Management tools for institutions is fantastic, until it’s not disabled before off-leasing the devices, leaving bargain hunters to employ work arounds. But refurbishers won’t bother as it costs too much. This needs to be fixed. #Apple #RightToRepair
APPLE!!!! Why is it soooo hard to use swipe navigation in Music!!!???? I have to span almost the entire trackpad for it to reluctantly go back to the previous page!! And it’s so inconsistent where it will even work!! COME ON!!! #apple #macos #badux
I think this says everything you need to know about Americas 250th birthday. #uspol #idiocracy #music
Freedom is in hospice care. #NY shoehorned anti-maker #surveillance legislation into their budget claiming to target ghost guns, but not understanding how much they’re actually breaking in the process. CNC, lathes, laser cutters, 3D printers & more are included. #uspol #tech #rights
We’d long used the metaphor of chess to describe the methodologies of liberals and sniped at conservatives for playing checkers. Damien clarifies that they are indeed playing chess, but don’t give two shits about the rules. #politics #ethics #strategery
