I mentioned this before but Palmer Lucky owns this company. He was on Rogan’s podcast talking about it. Don’t buy these and tell your friends.
I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

republicans believe children should be forced to carry pregnancies to term and should be allowed to be pushed into coercive marriages by their parents because they see children as fundamentally sexually exploitable and i am tired of pretending their transphobia has some other angle

With Rx Inspector, it’s possible to see your drug’s manufacturing facility and what the FDA found during its inspections.

I guess I need to find a new browser to use for work because my employer (government) doesn't allow employees to use any AI except copilot (which I don't use). You're losing users, @firefox.com
Mozilla has a new CEO and he just announced that Firefox will evolve into a modern AI browser. This is a good example of how management doesn’t understand its own user base and why they go out of their way to install Firefox on Windows, Android, iOS and other devices blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/l...

The 1940 film Pride and Prejudice, written by Aldous Huxley and Jane Murfin, invents an archery scene in which Elizabeth outshoots Darcy. Emma Thompson’s script for the 1995 film Sense and Sensibility emphasizes the emotional contrast between the two heroines, practical Elinor and romantic Marianne.

CNN has suddenly discovered Tennessee's Patriot Front compound that was a subject of an extensive NewsChannel 5 investigation back in March. Here is my report: 1/ www.newschannel5.com/news/newscha...
'This isn't your granddad's KKK.' Inside the hate group expanding its presence in Tennessee
They are the largest hate group in America, wrapping themselves in the red-white-and-blue of the flag, marching into the middle of American cities and claiming to be patriots.

From me: Trump's FTC dismissed a Lina Khan case against Pepsi and Walmart scheming to raise prices on competitors, then claimed it was "purely political" with no evidence. But advocates got the now-defunct case unsealed, & it reveals how pricing really works in America.

This NYT story failed the reader by not digging deeper. One subject dropped out of college after one year (five years ago) and lists "Windows" as his skillset. Story should be: young conservatives who blame immigrants for their personal failures and whose lives won't be improved w/ fewer immigrants
