30+ years ago, my mind was blown when my computer science professor suggested that one day, applications on our computers would be updated by contacting a remote server.

I don’t think he ever imagined that companies would also disable applications we’ve already paid for and installed.

Oh, and welfare-queening has made a comeback. These folks clearly don’t know and/or don’t care how SNAP food assistance works or who benefits from it most. (Hint: it’s white people in red states).

ROB SCHMITT: People are using SNAP benefits to get their nails done, to get their weaves and their hair. This is a really ugly program.

SEN. RON JOHNSON: That program needs to be dramatically reformed.

80% of air traffic controllers absent at New York facilities.

The system is at breaking point.

The FAA
@FAANews• 42m
• • .
Nearly 13, 000 air traffic controllers have been working without pay for weeks, ensuring the safety of more than 50,000 daily operations across the national airspace system (NAS).
As we head into this weekend, a surge in callouts is straining staffing levels at multiple facilities, leading to widespread impacts across the NAS. Currently, half of our Core 30 facilities are experiencing staffing shortages, and nearly 80 percent of air traffic controllers are absent at New York-area facilities.
After 31 days without pay, air traffic controllers are under immense stress and fatigue.
The shutdown must end so that these controllers receive the pay they've earned and travelers can avoid further disruptions and delays.
As we continue to reiterate, we will never compromise on safety. When staffing shortages occur, the FAA will reduce the flow of air traffic to maintain safety. This may result in delays or cancellations.

I know that the fun
of a subtle Halloween costume
is making other people guess
what you are dressed as,
but as I look around
I feel that I’m seeing
far too many people
dressed up as
“someone pretending
the pandemic is over,”
though I worry
these may not be costumes.

Serving a Clown With a Fake Crown

What kind of "government" tear gasses children while its weak leader excitedly accepts a fake gold crown from a foreign country? Not one as powerful as it thinks it is.

The top three things Jesus was on about were feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and welcoming the stranger. Rich men have convinced so-called Christians to starve the hungry, gut health care, and deport the stranger to enrich themselves. It’s astoundingly anti-Christ.

People, please realize, you are temporarily able.

A friend age 60 stepped off a curb a little wrong, fell, and broke his shin bone into tiny pieces. He had an EXTERNAL pin brace sticking out of his flesh for a YEAR and could not walk at all.

You are one step off a curb away from disability!

I’ve never had to block & remove people/comments the way I’ve had to over my “no one deserves to starve” article

An awful lot of people seem eager to watch the disabled, marginalized, poor and elderly starve

They’ve fully embraced “useless eater” rhetoric and soon the leopards will eat their faces

He is, instead, a 59-year-old Long Island wine importer named Bill DeBlasio, who merely responded to an email from a journalist seeking his views on Democrat Zohran Mamdani’s policies.

“I’m Bill DeBlasio. I’ve always been Bill DeBlasio,” DeBlasio said in an interview conducted Wednesday evening through his Ring doorbell in Huntington Station, Long Island, from his current location in Florida.

“I never once said I was the mayor. He never addressed me as the mayor,” DeBlasio told Semafor Wednesday evening. “So I just gave him my opinion.”
