Two weeks of online silence from one of my favorite Lemmy voices.

Hope you’re OK, friend.

Trump is bored of peace and wants war.

I’ve never used Qwant or Ecosia, but I’ll wager their ads are as easy to block as the ads in Google search.

Admittedly, I hang out with good people not shit-heads, but I don’t know anyone who’d hesitate to vote for a woman because she’s a woman. Give us someone worth voting for, and you’ll have our votes.

What didn’t he blurt?

Are you being sarcastic, man?

Fishermen?

They are innocent until proven guilty, not until killed.

Oh, so you’re a pinko, huh?

There are good people and bad people everywhere, and smart people and stupid people everywhere, but there’s a noticeably higher percentage of bad, stupid people in the South.

Holy crapoli, the memories this triggers. Suffice to say I am soooooo glad to be retired.

I don’t want to kick the original author while they’re down, but PayPal is a known shit company, and has been almost from the start. It’s closely related to the leopards-ate-my-face phenomenon — if you’re willing to work for a shit company, expect shit.

The road to today was littered with “Trump is nuts, but he’s not nuts enough to do that.”

I’d seen the headlines, but most — like TPM’s — haven’t included the name Brent Bozell. He’s quite reprehensible, even by Trump standards. Young folks might need an introduction.

WhatsApp is owned by Facebook which is reason enough to make a move.
