One of the worst, most underhanded things you csn do in modern Murica is to accurately quote a Republican. And, of course it was Bidenâ(TM)s law that brought the drug prices down. If Trump continues to blame everything bad happening now on Biden it is only fair if Biden gets credit for this.

Easy for me to find lots of interesting things on Mastodon. I think, despite what people say, they love the rage bait on the bigger networks. Mastodon is just normal people discussing normal topics. Here is what is trending now, nothing to make your blood boil. Therefore âoeboring.â #SilentSunday 606 people talking #hochwasser 28 people talking #lhp3 26 people talking #Sunday 28 people talking #Caturday 599 people talking #Arsenal 12 people talking #Sonntag 12 people talking #LibreOffice 9 people talking #ahsoka 34 people talking #FensterFreitag 11 people talking

A college degree is now just a good conduct award for making it though 4 years of arbitrary rituals. Why spend the time and money required for college, when anyone can get a better answer from entering an AI prompt than by asking you? Why should anyone hire you? The Universities, as currently operated have only one hope a Butlerian Jihad.

Amazon did get billions of dollars of government support, when they got away with not charging state sales taxes allowing them to undercut all the established competition that had to.

I paid for an account for more than 10 years. Then they increased the rate enough to motivate me to grab my data and start migrating to Obsidian. Donâ(TM)t miss it.

They got me to cancel my Evernote subscription of more than 10 years because of the jump in the fee. Weâ(TM)ll see how much longer it lasts.

Go Groke go Broke?

Numbers check out: âoeChinaâ(TM)s urban youth unemployment rate for ages 16 to 24 has hovered around 20% since the pandemic. When it reached a record 21.3% in mid-2023, the National Bureau of Statistics stopped publishing it.â https://asiasociety.org/policy...

You donâ(TM)t understand that no matter how Trump insults them, they feel even more insulted by the mere existence of full citizenship for women and for any âoenon-whiteâ man. They are motivated by hate of âoeDemocratsâ not by anything positive they think Trump might do.

I thought that Trump had already shut the Mauna Loa Observatory down and had all the records destroyed. Nice to see it has not happened yet.
