@quirk We went all out with home automation, which was great (and still is, almost always) but then the internet went down for several hours, and we found out nothing in the house works without internet. No lights, no TV, no music. We could entertain ourselves by watching the microwave rotate food.

19 December 1941 | A Dutch Jewish boy, Frank Emanuel Polak, was born in Amsterdam.

In February 1944 he was deported to Auschwitz and murdered in a gas chamber after the selection.

BREAKING: The January 6 Committee has officially made four CRIMINAL referrals to the Dept of Justice against Donald J. Trump. They are:

1β€”Obstruction of an official proceeding
2β€”Conspiracy to defraud the United States of America
3β€”Conspiracy to make a false statement (fake electors)
4β€”Incite, assist, or aid an Insurrection

Justice delayed is justice denied. DOJβ€”You’re up! Don’t let America down!

@CatsOfYore OK, you've ruined a perfectly good shame spiral. Now what will I do with my afternoon?

@ozwobbly It only means he succeeded if we (generic "we") continue to engage in the birdsite. As more people leave, media's incentive to remain dwindles. Eventually even they will figure out they're speaking to an empty conference room.

@callmejake I saw a true meme:
Mormon missionaries are the Catholic school girls of gay porn. That horrifies me more than a little, as a recovering Mormon who married a guy who was a missionary (and is also a recovering Mormon.)

@rbreich While we're helping Ukraine defeat invading Russian military, I'm not going to get too worked up about the military budget. Particularly not when it's overshadowed by the $10T tax cut the GQP gave to the wealthiest 1% of the country, while their wealth is growing exponentially.
Taxes are going up on the poor and middle class, while they dropped into the basement for the oligarchs.

@ScottSoCal @georgetakei Would hate to be the new CEO who has to try to actually make the company work while Musk is constantly forcing them to do every ridiculous thing that pops into his mind.

This is your year non-trans folks. This is the year

to be the one to call out grandma for misgendering your non-binary cousin,

to call out how fucked up your uncles transphobic jokes are, or

to tell your mom that her excuses for deadnaming someone aren’t good enough.

It’s time to make this your problem. How are you going to stand up for trans people this holiday?

@anellawrites @LibertyForward1 @stopgopfox@libretooth.gr
The first part, that you apparently missed? The part that said "chances are"? That's saying it's statistically probable, based on Idaho demographics, that her past behavior was consistent with the majority - in Idaho's case, the overwhelming majority. I did not say "I know for a fact".

Pretty much this. Musk doesn't have to be in a CEO position to keep pulling strings just to see what unravels.

Average power use for my house is ~25KWH per day, I deliberately got a larger system because I anticipate adding a couple of BEV vehicles in the near future. Probably 1 electric-only and 1 plug-in hybrid. 2 days before the shortest day of the year, I'm still making more power than my house uses. I wonder what it'll look like during the summer?

#muskolini embracing the antivax bs is classic propaganda. If you followed me on Twitter you know my son is autistic and I did my best to fight the antivaxers for a long time. In the early days it was the far left promoting that bs. Earned my first Twitter timeout for telling Jill Stein to go fuck herself. Rinse and repeat what works is their playbook. Their playbook is dangerous and deadly to actual lives and democracy.
