Remember to pop your filter bubble every so often. If you think you're not in one, you're trapped in one and in for a rude awakening.

I continue to be flabbergasted by just how boring billionaires are with their money.

Like... where's the paying your favorite band to record a new album entirely without commercial pressure? Commissioning some artist to make a massive mural of a bee/cheeseburger creature?

Where's the contract to fill an entire swimming pool with cream and let everyone in the city jump in?

Where's the "giving 100 homeless people houses just to see them smile friday"?

You have enough money to explode god, but you'll buy things that make more money, yachts you barely use and houses that are much too big for anyone to sensibly live in.

How fucking empty a person do you have to be for that?

ICE, Shooting, Los Angeles 

Are you kidding me?

CNN: "..Investigators believe gunfire erupted after an ICE officer confronted the suspect’s vehicle and smashed a window with their service weapon, the source said. While attempting to grab the suspect, authorities believe the agent’s weapon discharged, striking both the suspect and a deputy US marshal. ..."

Yet another AWS outage earlier. Maybe it was a mistake to put half of the World Wide Web and most of the modern Internet on exactly three of someone else's computers.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as the internet, is in fact, us-east-1/the internet, or as I've recently taken to calling it, us-east-1 plus the internet

According to Sportsnet, no post-season game has ever seen a team ground into a double play with the bases loaded in back to back innings. Tonight, the Mariners grounded into back-to-back bases-loaded, inning-ending double plays (3rd & 4th).

Sportsnet, "Blue Jays escape bases-loaded jam in back-to-back innings": sportsnet.ca/mlb/article/blue-

They also hit into back-to-back-to-back inning-ending double plays (3rd, 4th, & 5th), which was fun to watch, but IDK if that's a record or not.

At Windows XP's official end of support (2014-04-08), 90% of desktop PCs ran Windows, and fully 20% of those ran XP.

At Windows 10's official end of support (2025-10-14), only 72% of desktop PCs ran Windows, but a whopping 40% of those ran 10.

With so many win10 users still out there, unwilling or unable to upgrade their fully functional hardware to supported software, I really wonder how much flak Microsoft is willing to take for doing nothing.
