@masek@infosec.exchange Went to bed after reading all the AI horrors that @mttaggart@infosec.exchange was posting about with Ars Technica and OpenClaw and wake up to see this post... Fuck this timeline

@cwebber@social.coop "The bill comes from state Sen. Matt Ball and Rep. Amy Paschal, both Democrats." Seriously... Get to know the candidates rather than just looking for the R or the D. Just voting blue doesn't get us where we need to be.

@nonfedimemes@wetdry.world God those 3TB drives were terrible. I had an enterprise data center customer that had racks of servers using those drives and I was RMAing cases at a time (usually 1 a week) and at least 50% of the replacements were DOA and around 30% of the remaining died after less than a week in use.

Trump would rather watch the US burn than support anyone that isn&#39;t cis white male https://penncapital-star.com/2026/05/01/repub/trumps-new-conditions-on-dei-immigration-could-cut-off-states-wildfire-funding/ #USPol #DEI #wildfires

If you think this nation isn&#39;t racist then you&#39;re almost certainly a racist

The fact that Trump is still all bent out of shape regarding the Fed renovation while the fucking east wing disappeared by his own hand is one of the best examples of his self-centered egomaniacal personality. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c9qddrdd8w2o #USPol #FederalReserve #Trump #Powell

Even with things as bad as they are I still can&#39;t believe Trump is still allowed to be saying things like &quot;a whole civilization will die tonight&quot; with no resistance from his own party. Everything he had said about Biden he has now gone well beyond. He is not fit for office. https://apnews.com/article/iran-us-israel-trump-lebanon-april-7-2026-421ee64fdc9a5c26460df8119c7d1b3f #USPol #Trump #genocide #Iran

With what CostCo looked like on Monday when I got gas this is clearly a good move. My CostCo membership has already paid for it&#39;s self in savings over other stations (recently they&#39;ve been 10 to 20 cents cheaper) https://www.dexerto.com/entertainment/costco-is-launching-massive-new-gas-stations-with-a-twist-3349228/ #CostCo #GasStation #GasPrices

This is just coming to light... How many things are happening that ICE is keeping away from the light? Also, if the agents truly were acting in self defense why would they not disclose what happened? Trump&#39;s Gestapo is killing Americans. It&#39;s impossible to deny that without your head being firmly in the sand. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cedzep6gp07o #AbolishICE #ICE #USPol #DHS

RE: https://mastodon.social/@heidilifeldman/116187962829628712 It's pretty simple... If you don't want to be called Gestapo then don't do Gestapo things. ICE is detaining US Citizens. Anyone who thinks ICE and CBP are just doing immigration enforcement is clearly not paying attention. #ICE #AbolishICE #Gestapo #USPol

West Virginia bans sex with animals and there was actually a delegate that voted against the bill 🤯 That not bad enough? A delegate has been trying to make it illegal for years because police and prosecutors have been asking for it so they don&#39;t have to keep seeing cases dropped and she had been struggling to get it introduced. https://westvirginiawatch.com/2026/02/13/wv-house-passes-bill-to-explicitly-outlaw-sexual-contact-with-animals-for-first-time-in-state-code/ #WestVirginia #Not...
