Funny, but don’t let him off the hook so easily. He’s investing in Argentina rather than the US because he’s planning to flee there when he’s finally held accountable for his crimes.

Oh, so he thinks it’s “great” to help Argentina, while leaving Americans completely screwed? So much for “America first.”

Sure. They’re saving Christianity by shooting rubber bullets and pepper spray at praying religious leaders.

Naked people are threatening? That’s odd, seeing as how everyone else in the world sees being naked in public as being in a vulnerable position.

Narrator: His resistance did, in fact, add fuel to the fire that this is about Epstein.

In other words, he’s completely fine with them shooting pepper balls at faith leaders and illegally arresting journalists.

Impeachment is a pipe dream because the GOP owns all three houses. They’d have to vote against him, and they’ve already shown that they weren’t.

Me, a layperson: *alarmed*

My friend, an Army Signal officer: Yeah, that’s how satellites work.

For three years, the UCSD and UMD researchers developed and used an off-the-shelf, $800 satellite receiver system on the roof of a university building in the La Jolla seaside neighborhood of San Diego to pick up the communications of
geosynchronous satellites in the small band of space visible from their
Southern California vantage point. By simply pointing their dish at different satellites and spending months interpreting the obscure-but unprotected-signals they received from them, the researchers assembled an alarming collection of private data: They obtained samples

private data: They obtained samples of the contents of Americans' calls and text messages on I-Mobile's cellular network, data from airline passengers' in-flight Wi-Fi browsing, communications to and from critical infrastructure such as electric utilities and offshore oil and gas platforms, and even US and Mexican military and law enforcement communications that revealed the locations of personnel, equipment, and facilities.

Oddly, it’s begun to. They’re publishing more articles like this one lately.

And if that helps them find their spines, that’s totally fine. Because they were becoming irrelevant, and now look.

And Newsmax!?!?!

I don’t own anything yellow. But I’m used to being the odd one out. 🤷🏽‍♀️

I’m currently writing for one of my clients and no, Google, I did not mean “apple-related threats in Ellijay, GA.” What exactly would that even look like? And why was it the first thing Google came up with?

Screenshot from Google. I looked up “apple-related treats in Ellijay GA,” and Google asks if I meant “apple-related threats in Ellijay GA.”

Yup! And it’s been 30 years since I needed to know it, lol.

April A. Taylor 🐈‍⬛🎃 @aprilataylor.bsky.social · 23h

He told you he would do this. So how did you not vote for this?

April A. Taylor 🐈‍⬛🎃 @aprilataylor.bsky.social · 23h

Really? You’re going with Columbus Day for this rather than Indigenous People’s Day? You’re on the wrong side of history, Archie Comics.

April A. Taylor 🐈‍⬛🎃 @aprilataylor.bsky.social · 23h

This is the way.

Okay, between this and what The Washington Post published the other day, it’s starting to feel like the media is finally pushing back. Also, see the end of Vance’s interview from yesterday. Are they finally remembering what their actual job is?
