There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." - Isaac Asimov (1980)

    Can someone please make a browser extension that puts a label over “Gulf of America” that reads “Gulf of Mexico” in Google Maps? I can’t code to save my life, but I don’t think it would be that complicated… right? #tech #google #TFG #internet #programming jalopnik.com/google-is…

    I’m not familiar with the MSX system. Not many Westerners are as it was primarily a Japanese home computer standard that started in 1983 and ended ten years later. This, like the Book 8088 and Pocket 386 before it, does look cool, though. #tech #retrocomputing liliputing.com/msxbook-i…

    RFK Jr. looking like the lunatic he is and pointing whilst being interrogated about his fringe theories on human health prior to his appointment as HHS Secretary.

    RE: RFK Jr. being sworn in as #HHS Secretary; Every last one of #TFG’s appointments have been people who either owe #DearLeader for their acceptance into #MAGA, have been licking his boots clean for years, or gave him money… oh, and are white and “camera ready”. #uspol #fascism #capitalism

    It could be the #iPhone SE4, but I’d like to note that Mr. Cook asks us to “Get ready to meet the newest member of the family.” I think it could be the return of the AirPort. Look at the graphic for the announcement and the AirPort A1034 attached. Just sayin'. #tech #Apple 9to5mac.com/2025/02/1…

    I call bullshit. If the #Democrats won’t do anything because they don’t hold any power, which makes no sense because the #Republicans got up to all manner of shady bullshit when they were in the minority, what fucking good are they? #uspol www.axios.com/2025/02/1…
