Wow I'm happy I never used TikTok.
---
Last month’s Americanization of TikTok is perhaps the zenith of this strategy. While liberal hawks cheered the platform’s transition to the jumble of jargon now known officially as TikTok USDS Joint Venture LLC as a win for national security, they ignored the details written in the fine print. TikTok’s Terms of Service now explicitly include tracking of location and citizenship status (among other identity markers, such as sex).
Perhaps most dangerously, ICE is now utilizing advanced social media monitoring to perform “sentiment analysis.” By scraping TikTok and other platforms, they can monitor the emotional and political temperature of entire geographic areas, identifying resistance hot spots. This completely undermines the particularity requirement of the Fourth Amendment.

I’m not a huge fan of Scott Galloway, but this is a really good idea. The president doesn’t care about citizens getting mad about his policies. He only cares about the stock market. So… here is an idea I think might actually work to create a lot of pain with the tech companies currently complicit in supporting the administration and force them to start pressuring republicans to do their damn jobs. In February, unsubscribe to as many of these services as you can. Email the company and tell them why. I am really looking forward to a new show on Apple but I’m going to cancel my Apple TV subscription because Tim Cook went to the screening of that stupid new movie just to kiss Trump’s ass.

Bruce Springsteen!
https://youtu.be/wWKSoxG1K7w
Lyrics:
Through the winter’s ice and cold
Down Nicollet Avenue
A city aflame fought fire and ice
‘Neath an occupier’s boots
King Trump’s private army from the DHS
Guns belted to their coats
Came to Minneapolis to enforce the law
Or so their story goes
Against smoke and rubber bullets
By the dawn’s early light
Citizens stood for justice
Their voices ringing through the night
And there were bloody footprints
Where mercy should have stood
And two dead left to die on snow-filled streets
Alex Pretti and Renee Good
Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice
Singing through the bloody mist
We’ll take our stand for this land
And the stranger in our midst
Here in our home they killed and roamed
In the winter of ’26
We’ll remember the names of those who died
On the streets of Minneapolis
Trump’s federal thugs beat up on
His face and his chest
Then we heard the gunshots
And Alex Pretti lay in the snow, dead
Their claim was self defense, sir
Just don’t believe your eyes
It’s our blood and bones
And these whistles and phones
Against Miller and Noem’s dirty lies
Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice
Crying through the bloody mist
We’ll remember the names of those who died
On the streets of Minneapolis
Now they say they’re here to uphold the law
But they trample on our rights
If your skin is black or brown my friend
You can be questioned or deported on sight
In chants of ICE out now
Our city’s heart and soul persists
Through broken glass and bloody tears
On the streets of Minneapolis
Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice
Singing through the bloody mist
Here in our home they killed and roamed
In the winter of ’26
We’ll take our stand for this land
And the stranger in our midst
We’ll remember the names of those who died
On the streets of Minneapolis
We’ll remember the names of those who died
On the streets of Minneapolis

I live in the deep south surrounded by Trump voters and I can assure you that most people who voted for him are not fascists. Sure, some are and those people are fine with ICE running around murdering citizens. But most people I work with and see in my daily life who voted for him voted for a better economy and willfully and stupidly ignored all the other stuff. And a lot of those people now regret voting for him because they don't like the fascism.

I know a lot of those people. They say because the economy was better under Trump 1.0. They thought he'd reduce inflation and create more jobs. And because he's "strong" (evidently what they meant is not a black woman). Shit like that. When I asked those people about Project 2025 and mass deportations etc. every single one of them said "oh he won't really do any of that." 🙄

John Oliver does it again.
"Look, at some point you’re going to have to draw a line. So I’d argue, why not draw it right here? And when they come to you with stupid, ridiculous demands, picking fights that you know you could win in court, instead of rolling over, why not stand up and use four key words they don’t tend to teach you in business school? Not, ‘OK, you’re the boss.’ Not, ‘Whatever you say goes.’ But instead, the only phrase that can genuinely make a weak bully go away. And that is, ‘Fuck you. Make me.’”

I got this book on Saturday and am almost done with it even though it's 450 pages long. I just love his writing style and imaginative fantasy world. There's an extremely complex mystery that's also fun to try to figure out. Highly recommend this series if that's your thing, this is book 2. Not a cozy mystery though, some of the mystery elements are a little gruesome. Trying out the new Bookstodon fedi group, thanks to whoever set it up! #Bookstodon #Fantasy #Mystery @npub1q60…kp90

Amazon/Audible has changed its royalty structure to supposedly pay authors more, but as usual they are lying. The new structure will actually drastically cut the amount most authors are paid for audiobooks. I recommend people stop using Audible and get audiobooks from stores that pay authors and narrators fairly or buy directly from authors.
From the article posted below:
Reality: Previously, premium books earned $8-12 in royalties while streaming books earned $0. Now ALL books earn $1-3 in royalties because premium revenue subsidizes the streaming pool.
The Deceptive Logic: Audible presents this as: "You used to make $0 from streaming, now you make $1.50! That's infinite improvement!" while hiding: "Your premium sales that used to make $10 now also make $1.50, destroying 85% of your income."

I'm currently reading everything by Edward Ashton, I really like his books. He seems to like creating futurist settings with genetic engineering. The first book of his I read was Mickey 7 set in the far future on a new colony on an icy planet. The main character is sent on the most dangerous jobs and is then regenerated if he dies. Now I'm reading the End of Ordinary. It's set in the near future and custom genetic engineering packages are common but are also causing a lot of problems in society. He's a really imaginative author. #Bookstodon #scifi

that's a good point! I have noticed that people who only have seen the TV show call Murderbot him instead of it. And the Murderbot in the show doesn't look anything like the one I had in my head reading the books. I'll modify my suggestion! The very end did follow the book, they were on a station not Preservation Aux and Murderbot snuck off and found ART. I'm wondering what season 2 will be like. We saw it leaving with ART but it will be tricky giving a ship a personality. And I wonder if Preservation Aux will be a side story since the writers may not want to ditch those characters.

I'm telling people to watch first then read just because the books have so much more information to enjoy after being introduced to the characters. I really liked the series, which honestly surprised me. The writers did an amazing job adapting it!

How would this even work? People would have to pay a monthly membership for weather radios and weather/radar apps? These people are so greedy and gross.
"Deadly weekend flooding in central Texas has drawn a spotlight to budget cuts and staff reductions at the National Weather Service and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, two agencies housed within the Commerce Department that provide the public with free climate and weather data that can be crucial during natural disasters. What’s drawn less attention is how the downsizing appears to be part of an effort to privatize the work of such agencies. In several instances, the companies poised to step into the void have deep ties to people tapped by Trump to run weather-related agencies."

Yesterday I went hiking to a state natural area in Tennessee. I haven't been there in years, that time I went through the cave, but yesterday just hiked there to enjoy the view. Above the cave is a 100 foot cliff. It's pretty spectacular. There are two more impressive cave entrances we visited too. The third photo with the nice view of the mountains is directly above the cave entrance. Places like this are why I still live in the south. #Hiking #Tennessee

Oh and I'd wait to read the books so you can just enjoy the show. The first four novellas tell the complete story of Murderbot, I bet the TV show will just cover each novella, one per season. There are several additional novels but honestly I didn't enjoy those as much. The first four books are about the length of a regular sci-fi novel.

it's very similar in broad story. There are some differences that seem mostly to be to explain what Murderbot is and why it's so weird. The Murderbot Diaries is one of my favorite book series and I really enjoyed the first two episodes. My only complaint is they're too short! Most of the books focus on Murderbot's sarcastic internal dialogue and I was worried the show wouldn't be able to capture that but the writers nailed it!

I'm not a big fan of the Catholic Church, but hey it sounds like the new Pope doesn't like JD Vance so I'm counting that as a win.

Just got this from Bookshop.org:
Amazon is Shameless
Every April, we celebrate Independent Bookstore Day to remind us how vital indie bookstores are to our communities and society. It’s a day of joy and solidarity, and significant financial impact for these bookstores.
This year, Amazon is undercutting that with a “Book Sale” on the same day—a calculated move by a company that has already put half the bookstores in the country out of business, controls over 60% of the market and sells far more books than all indie bookstores combined. The people at Amazon responsible for the timing of their "Book Sale" should be ashamed, but they are shameless.
It's up to us to make sure they don't succeed at spoiling Independent Bookstore Day. Visit your local indie this weekend and help ensure that future generations can experience the sublime pleasure of shopping at a local bookstore.
—Andy Hunter, Bookshop.org CEO

A friend of mine recently returned from a trip to the EU. At customs in Nashville coming home, she said she saw a white European female traveler having to take off a jacket and show all her tattoos and explain what they mean. CBP is evidently targeting everyone, not just people they think look "foreign." Nobody should visit the US.

I need to add a new payment method to my Apple TV account and I couldn't log in. Now my account is locked. It's stupidly difficult to do some basic things on a Mac when you haven't used one for years. I'm so frustrated I'm thinking about going back to a Windows laptop even though I hate windows. I've also been having a lot of problems with my MacBook being really slow and hanging up even though it's only about a year old. Pretty disappointed in my venture down the Mac road. #Macbook #Apple

foreign spies are so excited today. These dumbasses are probably conducting all government business on their personal cell phones. The incompetence is truly spectacular.

I don't subscribe to very many streaming services. Right now it's just Apple (Severance!!) and Acorn. There are a lot of great police murder mysteries on Acorn I really like. Currently watching the extensive library of Midsomer Murders with my husband. In addition I recently finished The Gone set in New Zealand, I really liked it (where is season 2??). Currently watching A Remarkable Place to Die set in Australia. I'd love recommendations for other good shows on Acorn. #Acorn #TV #Mysteries

I ordered these stickers and am going to keep them in my purse to stick on price tags as prices go up. Maybe it's childish but I don't care 😂

so I don't actually talk politics with people at work, it's just a feeling. However, I do know people in my personal life who voted for him who are not yet expressing regrets but probably will be soon. Honestly I'm not talking to them right now because I'm so pissed at them.

I'm pretty sure the people I work with all voted for Trump. Last year I told them that the agencies we work with were specifically mentioned in Project 2025 to get cut and they said oh he'll never do that... I'm currently trying to figure out an exit plan because I don't want to in any way support this shit show administration.

exactly this. I live in a deep red state and my county voted 80% for Trump. It would be easy to not do anything. Once things start getting really bad for average people, which I think will be soon, I'm going to start talking to my neighbors and people I know who voted for this about how everything bad happening is because of Republican policies. I've already started doing that at work: this bad thing that happened that you're complaining about, you know it was described in detail in Project 2025 and things will just get worse? Meanwhile I'm contacting my entirely Republican slate of elected officials every damn day to ask why they're destroying the economy, tanking my investments, siding with our enemies, getting ready to gut social security, etc. I have no idea if anything I'm doing will help but I really do think that very soon a lot more people besides liberals are going to be really pissed about what is going on.

2025-03-05 12:36:17 UTC

Exactly this!!! This isn't normal!! Im pissed democrats are still acting like it's the good old days of politics. Jasmine Crockett should have been the one to give the rebuttal speech. Gift article.
"Slotkin—like so many in her party lately—failed to convey any sense of real urgency or alarm. Her speech could have been given in Trump’s first term, perhaps in 2017 or 2018, but we are no longer in that moment.
...
America does not need a “resistance,” or stale slogans, or people putting those slogans on little paddles. It needs an opposition party that boldly defends the nation’s virtues, the rule of law, and the rights of its people."

there's a whole section in project 2025 about NOAA, I don't know why so many people refused to believe it.

2025-02-28 12:36:44 UTC

So I'm scanning the Leopards Ate My Face Reddit page and see that storm chaser Reed Timmer is mad NOAA got cut despite evidently being a vocal Trump supporter. I didn't know that, I'm glad I watch Ryan Hall. Someone linked to a Facebook post asking his followers to contact their representatives and demand they stop. Lots of the replies, some with thousands of likes, are "but this is what you voted for, it was in Project 2025." I guess it's typical MAGA, not caring until cuts affect their own livelihoods. #Weather #NOAA #ReedTimmer #Trump #FAFO
