Here’s a #FUNFACT: If #TFG and #DOGE shutter all agencies that have involvement with foreign countries, many of which are allies, the “savings” wouldn’t be a drop in the bucket in comparison to the titanic amounts of money we pour into the #military, #oil subsidies, and corporate welfare. #uspol

So-called #centrists are now the same as #conservatives as we knew them before #MAGA, thanks to #TFG & Co. having the #OvertonWindow bricked up. #Democrats can no longer be trusted. They did just hand #America over to a criminal organization, after all. #uspol www.axios.com/2025/02/0…

Good morning, West Coast… and no, I’ve been up for hours :) Just setting up a new theme for #microblog called Bayou from Matt Langford. I’m still working through some configuration, but it’s all mostly functional now. Check it out and let me know what you think! tylerknowsnothing.com

I wasn’t aware that it took #Hitler 53 days to destroy #Germany’s #Democracy, but I wouldn’t be surprised if #TFG is following a similar process, what with #ElonMusk’s #Nazi salutes and blatantly illegal rampage through our governmental infrastructure. #uspol kottke.org/25/02/the…

I just received an “important reminder” from #Transunion about my free credit monitoring account getting updated with an “exciting” new experience 🙄 I get it free because #Capitalism keeps “losing” my deets. Oh, and this #bullshit. #finance #WeAreTheProduct

Unfettered, uncontrolled, unregulated #Capitalism is essentially crime since they do what they want, say what they want, harm whomever they please, break any laws they choose, and are never held accountable. Those who help them are criminals, as well. #ai #piracy #books arstechnica.com/tech-poli…

A tweet on #Xitter from user Mario64 essentially confirms mouse mode for the #Nintendo #Switch2 as illustrated in patent filings from 2023. Another illustration indicates a dual-#Joycon mouse mode, as well. For details, we’ll have to wait until April 2nd 2025. #videogames kotaku.com/switch-2-…

Well, it seems that #RoosterTeeth might be back! If you don’t recognize the name of the #animation studio, you might recall the years of #machinima Red Vs. Blue, a video game comedy series that used #Halo instead of traditional processes. #videogames www.polygon.com/news/5193…

Ah, the legendary Wayne Shorter on sax, Danilo Pérez on piano, John Patitucci on bass, and Brian Blade on drums performing Angola in 2002 on NDR, Hamburg, Germany’s public radio service. NDR is really, really good at this. #music #jazz #livejazz www.youtube.com/watch
