@focusfronting@mcmansionhell I still think the music video “money game part 3 - by ren” is like a new take on opera, still one of my favorite pieces of art/media
@EmmaVigeland@krystalball I have a feeling we’re going to experience something called oppositional defiance because those with the most power are being manipulative; people are not dumb and will be vindictive, if they are feeling that disrespect.
@davepl1968@DougWahl1 If you think about how your response comes off, you’ll realize how close you’re getting to sounding like a eugenicist. Food for thought
@LaunchDarkly@LD_status your’re going to need to use network ip blocks as a gate, your sdk is ddosing your services. I would be surprised if you can scale out of it, shed load and add blocks of ip addresses over a two hour period until restored
@Angry_Staffer Didn’t the politicians freak out when WWI veterans marched on DC and were camped out in Hoovervilles? And did American leadership already forget our own history?
NEW: Amid NOAA budget cuts under the Trump administration, Paul Yura—the veteran warning coordination meteorologist at NWS Austin/San Antonio—took early retirement, local outlet KXAN reported in April. They said his departure, alongside a hiring freeze and multiple staff vacancies, left one of Texas’s most flood-prone regions without key leadership just weeks before peak storm season.
Now, Central Texas is facing catastrophic flash floods that have killed at least 27 people and left dozens missing—including young girls from Camp Mystic. Search and rescue operations are still underway, with hundreds of responders, helicopters, and drones deployed.
Drop Site’s @ryangrim notes that these staffing cuts may have weakened early warning systems and disaster readiness in the region.
.@hasanthehun breaks down @ryangrim’s thread on Texas Republicans blaming the National Weather Service for deadly flood damage—after gutting the very agencies meant to keep people safe.
PSA Neck gaiters are not masks. Neck gaiters are not effective at stopping the spread of airborne viruses. Masks, especially well-fitting ones are effective at preventing infection. Conflating the two is bad because it can encourage politicians to ban masks for the general public
Ultimately, protests such as the #NoKings ones are useless, despite their intentions. To be effective, protests must disrupt the machinery of the state itself, which is why to build true power we need a militant labor movement that will engage in mass striking.
1. Uranium is not “weapons-grade” until it is enriched to 90%.
2. The number one reason to enrich to 60% is for the use in radiopharmaceuticals. Iran is one of the largest radiopharmaceutical producers in the world.
I’m so sick of these media shills not calling this crap out.
one of my websites (https://t.co/SDppZyWCKf) has an endpoint that produces infinite redirects by incrementing the URL and then redirecting to the same endpoint.
a bot in Russia has been extremely confused by this.
