    Or maybe the final transition to X.com is going poorly, because holy shit it’s trying so hard to force me to open a Twitter client instead of the browser and I keep getting the welcome to X.com page multiple times a day.

    And it’s slow loading on embeds in some places.

    Edit he’s complaining, but he’s got thousands of quotes and retweets.

    there’s just too much TV.  

    There really is.  I’ve got multiple decent shows across multiple services that I want to watch, and I don’t recall having this many streaming shows in the past.  And more I want to watch are about to launch.

    I will say I do NOT recommend Baby Reindeer. Unless you’re into male rape and stalking and just general awkwardness. Good god.

    I don't think I'm following Rudy's logic there. "If I hide long enough to avoid being summoned, that means Arizona can't count votes for shit."

  5. Don't care what he does, I'll still deadname twitter since deadnaming is encouraged on twitter.

    Quote

    Elon Musk is retiring the last vestige of Twitter — the twitter.com web address — as the social network has fully moved over to the x.com domain name.

    “All core systems are now on X.com,” the multibillionaire tech mogul posted on the platform late Thursday. With the changeover, all twitter.com URLs are now being redirected to the corresponding address on x.com.

    Quote

    When users logged on to Twitter/X on Friday, they saw a message that said: “Welcome to x.com! We are letting you know that we are changing our URL, but your privacy and data protection settings remain the same.”

    The move comes after Musk unilaterally rebranded Twitter as X in July 2023. In a late-night post, he declared that Twitter was no longer the name of the social network — reborn as X, which appears to be his favorite letter of the alphabet. “Soon we shall bid adieu to the Twitter brand and, gradually, all the birds,” Musk posted on X last July. The company rebranded its mobile apps with the X moniker and moved employee email addresses to x.com.

    Tender has some things to say

    When you look at Putin and his entourage in China, you just see a broken servant who asks for another bowl from his master. It is pathetic in so many ways. Russia, which was once calling the shots in East Asia and subverted and stole from Qing-China when dictating the Treaty of Aigun, is now the asking Beijing for help. It reminds us when Moscovia had to pay tribute to the Golden Horde back in the 14th Century. This is just a modern version of it.

    You can say what you want, but Beijing plays it cards well. China holds Russia by the balls with iron grip and even in Russia many silently admit that this is an unequal "alliance", if at all. From a Chinese perspective, the infamous Unequal Treaties of the 19th Century have always been a thorn in the collective Chinese conscience, but while the British, Portuguese, German and Japanese imperial domains have been gone long ago, Russia is literally the only one who controls territory "acquired" from that time. Of course, officials from China and Russia will hastily point to the recent treaties both countries have signed concerning that matter, but Russia tries to establish a world where this is but ink on paper, being absolutely blindsided that Russia just only digged its own grave by having this powerful and hungry neighbor at its doorstep, who already uses Chinese names for Russia's far eastern territories and cities, such as Vladivostok. Just check out "Hǎishēnwǎi". That alone speaks volumes

    The best joke, however, is that it is Russia and its lesser minions who claim that Western nations are colonies of the USA, but this is pure projection on their part. Russia is so dependent on China that the debt won't be repaid in a lifetime. Additionally, Russia's demographic catastrophe was even before the open war a headache for Moscow, but with the hundreds of thousands of dead Russians, as well as the even more wounded, but more importantly the million of Russians who abandoned their home country since February 2022, this will become the most unpayable mortgage any nation can handle. And the bank will come for you, not matter what, when you can't pay.

    Chinese do take advantage of this situation, and honestly, I do not blame them. President Xi would be foolish not to do so. This one-sided partnership - at least at the moment - only brings advantages to China, on the expense of Russia. But even President Xi knows that China has severe weaknesses. China's housing crisis is an economic, nuclear time bomb, which could trigger a cascade of other problems. Demographically China is even more a mess than Russia. Only the large economic growth mitigated the problems, for now. But with the US Biden administration ratcheting up tariffs the US hit China where it hurts. It can go even more problematic when all Western nations decide that they will put any Chinese company as well as the Chinese banks behind it on sanctions lists, when they continue to help Russia in its war in Ukraine.

    In the end, it is only a cost-benefit calculation which drives any leader in the world. The West has to put Russia into a situation where others will consider it too much of a risk and too expensive. Once Beijing sees the advantages outpaced by the incoming costs, this "partnership" - even when being unequal - will end from one day to another. When this will happen is primarily up to us in the West.

    Abbott will find a way

    Yep.  MAGA will cheer it on, and when you ask them "so you want the government telling you what you can and can't put in your body" they'll briefly be confused, and then go back to talking about child trafficking.

    No Karen (and you KNOW Mrs. Alito is the Deen of the Karens) 

    Note: a group of Karens is known as an HOA, so you should say "Mrs. Alito is a president of an HOA."

    Unfortunately I think mtg would wallop her

    MTG is a bully, and you deal with bullies now just like you would when you were in fifth grade - you spend a few weeks with a training dummy, practicing on the genitals with a good swift kick and their jaw with a solid flashlight or crowbar. At some point you get them alone/off guard, you kick their nads into their chest and slam the flashlight or crowbar across their jaw, and while they are lying there, you quietly inform them that if they bully you any more, you've paid some homeless men $50 to kill their mom and do sex things to their dad.  You may get suspended from school for a while, may have to talk to a counselor, but just keep mentioning that you were bullied and the school and district weren't doing anything and your parents were about to sue the principal and teachers, and they'll eventually let you back in.  Or you tell them that your dad knows where there are plenty of deep coal pits full of water in northeastern Oklahoma where a body could be dumped and never found and it would be a real shame if something happened to their parents.  Make sure and have your dad near by, glaring at them when you say it.

    Okay, that might not work with MTG because of the steroids and Neanderthals feeling pain different than we humans, but MTG would fold the moment she got hit, and start squealing for a microphone to claim that liberals were oppressing her and George Soros was behind it.
