It confused me to learn recently what the final form of jellyfish girl is.

Like, I know this is Digimon but?

What if corporations talked about other things we don't want the same way they talk about AI?

"Poisonous mushrooms are here to stay, so here's 10 delicious poisonous mushroom recipes!"

Update: just sent $450 to the family because they’re in dire straits— about $500 remains to be able to clear them and keep their housing secure.

Please help 😭

Win10 users, today's the day they make all big holes in your PC and all the hackers swarm into them...

...unless you click "no thanks actually" in which case they just actually keep supporting Win10 for another year for some reason. here's how:

James Wallis @jameswallis.bsky.social · 2d

Windows 10 users in the EU and UK, you can get free Extended Security Updates for a year just by:
> Settings > Windows Update > Check for updates. Click.
Scroll down to Enrol in Extended Security Updates (or similar wording).
Click on it.
Follow prompts.
Bingo, you're good for a year.

Trump is upfront in saying he will use the shutdown to punish Democrats, and here are the receipts. About $27.2 billion cut from Dem districts compared to about $0.7 billion in GOP districts.
We all complain about the media, but need this type of in-depth journalism.

The Trump administration has frozen or canceled nearly $28 billion primarily located in Democratic-led districts, according to an analysis by The New York Times.

On the flipside, I've only really played dawn and dusk, and the ones that I wanted to be in that one, but weren't, are all or mostly all here.

It's hard to help Americans left behind because so much of US identity is rooted in individualism. The average American conservative holds all three positions at once:

— Virtue signals about supporting US manufacturing
— Against raising the minimum wage
— Buys foreign imports because they're cheap

HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "I'm willing to pay more for quality products if they are made in America, by Americans, who are paid a decent income." The tweet shows Norman Rockwell's "Freedom of Speech" painting, which is often used to show the tweeter is expressing a brave opinion.

HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "MINIMUM WAGE JOBS WERE NOT MEANT TO BE A CAREER. Why does no one understand this? Entry level jobs are STEPPING STONES to better jobs. No one wants to work towards that though."

HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "Buy $5 gloves instead of $50 ones. Trust me." The tweet shows a box of "Gorilla Grip" gloves.

The label on Gorilla Grip gloves show they're made in China.
