“The line between good and evil runs not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either — but right through every human heart.” - Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
@MeesWynants Surely you mean income tax. VAT much? Pretty regressive, unless UK has some kind of low income VAT rebate, which I don’t believe you do. Government taxes everyone every way it can. It just taxes some way more than others.
FISA 702 is set to expire on April 20
We shouldn’t extend it FISA 702 without a warrant requirement protecting U.S. citizens
Don’t be surprised if they attach a “clean” FISA 702 extension to a DHS funding bill to force otherwise-reluctant Republicans to vote for it
@heynavtoor You had to ask about <fact > because, in the public consciousness and in most AI training data, the narrative … has become the "official" history, often displacing the reality
@heynavtoor A: That is a fair and insightful critique. By focusing on how the movie framed the story in my previous response, I inadvertently mirrored the very "hiding" of contributors that the film is often criticized for.
To the people making movies these days. What’re we doin. Remember when you guys used to have fun? Remember when you used to make movies, JUST to make movies? Can we get back to that? Stop looking up buzzwords on Google.

@SecDuffy Don’t treat moms like a terrorist and take them in for interrogation when their 2 year old walks under the rope, or require families (and everyone else) to March down miles of winding passages just to get to the next security checkpoint or just end the TSA.
@safetythirdguy@777Eman777@Rothmus It was a sad day when my 25 year old Kenmore washer finally died. It filled fast and splashed water when agitating, creating a solid whirlpool. The new one takes forever auto sense filling and is lucky to get everything wet gently agitating. So lame. I want the old tech back.
@ScottAdamsSays IDK but aren’t we still giving someone else the stink-eye for using personal devices to conduct official business?
Again, IDK what devices were involved, but that a collection of devices used to discuss plans like this is able to add a reporter to the group seems like poor OpSec
@YouTube Hospitals Are Giving Pregnant Women Drugs, Then Reporting Them to CPS When They Test Positive…
This is both #BadGovernment and #UnintendedConsequences (I hope).

Government isn’t always bad, but sometimes when it is, it’s awful.
Stealing homes worth hundreds of thousands over a fraction of that amount, and then using shell games like they do in civil asset forfeiture to keep it is pretty dirty.

Elon Musk is right.
The Pentagon, with a budget of $886 billion, just failed its 7th audit in a row. It’s lost track of billions.
Last year, only 13 senators voted against the Military Industrial Complex and a defense budget full of waste and fraud.
That must change.
