Microsoft's shareholders, obviously.

It is illegal. So are monopolies. Laws are only as meaningful as they are enforced.

I honestly don't get the widespread hate on bats. Like maybe vampire bats, sure; they're ugly and suck blood. But tons of bats are freaking adorable.

The socks have a bit of a learning curve, depending on what you want to do with them, but it's worth it. It's such a huge relief to not care how much more Windows is getting enshittified this week, since it's not my problem anymore.

You're safe right now.

Repeat that to yourself as many times as you need, out loud. Whisper or mouth it if you have to.

That's the thing that finally started working for me on my worst attack.

That should be grounds for discipline, but IME, you have to piss off a disciplinary board personally to ever see consequences for attorney misconduct.

I had no idea they made this a franchise. The first one was super forgettable.

“I don’t call it a crisis anymore. This is a state of failure. That’s why for years I’ve referred to it as water bankruptcy,” said Kaveh Madani, the director of the United Nations University Institute for Water, Environment and Health.

“A crisis is a state that you can mitigate, you can go back to normal at some point if you put forces together. But the damages we are seeing to the ecosystem, to the nature and even to many parts of the economy and infrastructure are irreversible.”

The US Southwest and Southern CA will be at this point by 2027, according to projections based on current consumption levels. Lake Mead will be dry, and everyone who depends on it to live will be fucked. https://insideclimatenews.org/news/06102025/colorado-river-water-supply-report/

I'm not even entertaining the idea that we'll take emergency action to avoid it. That seems too unrealistic that our governments would be that responsible.

The consequences aren't a secret. Look up the Planetary Solvency actuarial report from earlier this year, for starters.

Elizabeth Warren's "I think I'll have a beer" will live rent free in my head forever as the prime example of clumsy pandering.

Honestly, Debian KDE is pretty close. And there are even distros that mimic the look of WinXP if you want.

NIAAA defines heavy alcohol use as follows:

For men, consuming five or more drinks on any day or 15 or more per week

For women, consuming four or more drinks on any day or eight or more per week

According to the 2024 NSDUH, 14.4 million adults ages 18 and older (5.5% in this age group) reported heavy alcohol use in the past month

Five drinks for me would be a good date night dinner at home (cocktail hour, plus two glasses of wine with dinner). Hardly a bacchanal, but apparently America is slacking as of late.
