I know I wouldn’t want to travel here. White ladies from Canada, UK, and Australia have ended up in detention centers. They’re supposed to be the demographic MAGA pretends to want to protect.

I’m so dejected about it. Our geriatric “leaders” won’t lead and they refuse to get out of the way and let younger generations take their turn. If I didn’t have plenty of skeletons that would be used against me in a campaign, I’d feel a moral obligation to run for office at some level.

Great, let’s boil the ocean faster.

Even a blogger. I like to read. I don’t waste my time with videos that I can’t reliably skim to get to the real information and skip over garbage.

I dunno what’s different between us, but I’ve found it to be rock solid for over a decade. I host it on a Mac mini.

I’ve never used any of the features they’ve added after they allowed me to host my library of ripped optical media ~2013-2014.

That’s exactly what we need… ffs.

Reminder for anyone who doesn’t know, it’s highly likely that the Q account on 8chan was a white South Afrikaner before the account was highjacked by Ron Watkins and his father Jim Watkins (owners of the image board). Allegedly.

That’s why it’ll be a shock to the system when on May 21, nearly 45,000 of Samsung’s unionized workers plan to walk off the job for 18 days. If that happens, it will be the largest work stoppage in the history of the semiconductor industry, at the single most important chokepoint in the AI supply chain.

Suck it, AI companies. I use an agent to help me code projects and it’s genuinely useful. But these companies are leaches and they deserve a good kick in the balls. See price hikes due to shortages because of their build-outs. I’m very fortunate that I am not in need of any hardware (at the moment! hope nothing fails!), but I’m still very mad about how it’s affecting people.

…

Last September, SK Hynix settled with its own union to allocate 10% of annual operating profit directly to employees as performance bonuses for the next decade, while removing caps on bonuses. Based on 2026 profit forecasts, that translates to average payouts of $460,000-$477,000 per worker this year across SK Hynix’s 35,000 staff, with projections approaching $900,000 per person next year. This is nothing new for SK Hynix: it already paid profit-sharing bonuses averaging about $95,000 per employee this past February.

Holy shit. The next time someone tries to tell you unions are bad, point them to this.

Side note: I’m literally trying to figure out and schedule time off before it expires that was won for me by my union. I didn’t know about it and it’s per-pay period so I got an automated email telling me to use it or lose it. What a great problem to have.

If it wasn’t the right code, it wouldn’t be so popular. /s

This is the best laugh I’ve had this morning. So good that I’m literally about to close the window to end on a high note. Awesome. Also, dupe please close.

Nope, never.

Why do I care? Because Israel commits war crimes.

I’ve never watched Who Wants to be a Millionaire, or America’s Got Talent, or So You Think You Can Dance (I’m in USA). I don’t like that sort of content.

But I’d care a lot if we let someone from a genocidal nation, that literally indoctrinates their children to think of an entire people as less than human, to compete on our shows. Fuck Israel (not Jews, just that country).

What, so everyone who can hear Radio Free Europe should be able to compete in whatever stupid national contest we have in the USA?

I’m happy to hear that Aussies are musically gifted. They shouldn’t be in Eurovision either.

I typically want good things for all people, but I don’t feel bad for people who knowingly worked for an evil company when bad things happen.

My partner has started using terminology that I use. I think she genuinely still saw the USA as possibly a good country and now she drops words like “corrupt,” and “fraud,” in places that weren’t previously said when talking about our society.

My hope is that I’m merely providing scaffolding to articulate a thing that is felt but not discussed. I’m pretty sure a lot of USA citizens really need that.

I work at a state agency in California. Gavin Newsome issued a command (dunno the formal terminology) for state employees to be in the office 4 days per week. My union is fighting him on it.

Why might this “possible candidate for USA prez” do this? Certainly not bribes or donations from the landlords / corporate class who need to justify owning a lot of buildings!

My apt building is owned by a corp. Getting approval for the right repair due to a leak above us took two extra days after the vendor made a recommendation.

Israel isn’t part of the EuroAsian continent. Regardless of whether they’re committing a genocide (they are), they shouldn’t be included. Also, fuck 'em.

You guys, all those employees contributing to their huge profits were actually a liability and now they’ll be so much more efficient.

/s because people take sarcasm literally

I feel like that’d be the stats even if we didn’t have a component disruption. Do all gamers build a new machine every year? They’d be broke (said the guy who buys / builds a lot of toys).

It’s cool to phrase non-news as clickbait. 50% people think $MYTEAM will win the big game. Holy crap, that’s news!

Yes! We should feel bad! Unfortunately, there are people who think what that asshat does is awesome. My mother, who I won’t speak to because two of the ladies in her sons’ lives are now at risk. Fuck these people. They are selfish and frightened and they externalize their fear.
