@Gordo, @sethjlevy, we may have a genuine problem caused by Trump's "Weave". In the bartiromo interview she asks him about election day chaos from outside forces, he says Joe is asleep at the wheel then he weaves to "enemy from within" then back to election day chaos (cont).

@unseen1_unseen I have started using the foldable windshield reflector. This solves this priblem.

@MattWalshBlog For proclaiming to be a culture warrior, you are quite a Karen.

WHO IS SHE?

Julie Falcon. 18. Singer, songwriter, producer. Berklee College of Music.

Before the Savannah Bananas and the Firefighters even took the field at Wrigley, she stole the show.

No vocal gymnastics. No statement. Just the anthem.

For everyone deployed who doesn’t get to hear this live — this one’s for you.

Until they all come home. 🇺🇸

@unseen1_unseen Nothing quite as beautiful as new studs and plywood going into a structure. Such a feeling of new beginnings.

A guy bought a $1,500 Samsung TV 3 years ago.

He watched Netflix. He watched YouTube. He thought the picture looked fine. He assumed that's just what a TV looks like.

His friend, a home theater installer who calibrates TVs for a living, walked into his apartment and looked at the screen for 5 seconds.

"You're watching everything in demo mode. The motion smoothing is on. The eco dimmer is cutting your brightness by 40%. Your TV is taking a screenshot of your screen every 30 seconds and selling your viewing data to advertisers. And you're watching a $1,500 panel in the same picture mode Best Buy uses under fluorescent lights to make TVs pop on a showroom wall."
He changed 9 settings in 12 minutes.

The picture looked like a different television. The soap opera effect disappeared. The colors became natural. The TV stopped spying on him.
Here's every setting he changed 🧵

Jamie Dimon Shuts Down Axios CEO James VandeHei’s Criticism of President Trump

“You guys are always chasing your tails … Take immigration … Everyone said it can't be done. It’s hard to do. Actually it got done damn quickly.”

@theripsnorter @jeffreytucker Since Jan 2025, almost all new job growth has gone exclusively to native born Americans. While simultaneously, the immigrant workforce has shrunk. For the first time in 50 years we have had net negative Migration. All of this was as intended.

I’ve seen the pointing memes, which are really funny, but this is so much better.

Bill Maher to JD Vance: "I’m just glad you're talking to me, you know? I mean, I say it every time, the Republicans come here and they take their beating like a man. It’s the people I vote for, they’re the ones who won't talk to me! That’s odd, isn’t it?"

@AlpacaAurelius Yes, beer is so feminizing that the country that invented it was responsible for two world wars. Of course they lost to the country that consumes more twice. 😏

@3YearLetterman The United States has trees older than the United States. 😏

@BradCLemley @jabeale I do something like this once a week. Love it.

Here is a huge positive to modern life that gets no press.

I have an old 2009 Toyota, and the AUX port crapped out about a year ago. Went to YouTube. Young, enthusiastic guy explains how to fix it.

It is not obvious - involves taking the dashboard apart in a counter-intuitive way, but once you see it, it's a 15 minute fix.

There are actually dozens of videos showing how to do this, and they collectively have well over 200k views.

Had this happened in 1995, I would have just lived with it. But the combo of the replacement AUX jack available from Amazon and the video of the simple (but not obvious) fix, I fixed it.

I HAVE DONE THIS DOZENS OF TIMES. Replaced the control panel of my dishwasher. Replaced the ice maker in the fridge. Fixed a wonky sanding head on my drill press. Mastered a bandsaw technique that I use for my sculpture. On and on and on...

I think it is likely no exaggeration to say billions of fixes and skill upgrades have been performed worldwide that would not have been performed if it were not for the instruction freely given peer-to-peer on YouTube.

Take a moment to be happy about this. The busted item keeps performing, rather than going to the landfill. The person learning and doing the fix gains a sense of mastery and saves money. It's an unmixed blessing.

Stop doomscrolling. Think of what is busted in your house, find the YouTube video on how to fix it, and fix it.

[ErnstB @ErnstB18]

@agraybee @MZHemingway I see what you did there.

I read everywhere about the 'hard right'

This the term used to describe people who are
Islamosceptic - that is, people who are doubtful about the merits of a religion that demands child marriage, the beating of women, and death to all who oppose it

Perhaps 'sensible right' would be a better description
