       @kairyssdal It doesn’t fit into the Bond villain’s plans.

       @kairyssdal The debt ceiling is a gimmick and stands in contradiction to what the Congress has appropriated. Ignore it and if Republicans disagree they can go to court.

       This by Julian Gough:“I wrote the End Poem for Minecraft, the most popular video game of all time. I never signed a contract giving Mojang the rights to the End Poem, and so Microsoft (who bought Minecraft from Mojang) also don't own it. I do.”“…I am dedicating the poem to the public domain. You'll find it at the bottom of this post, along with a Creative Commons Public Domain dedication.”https://open.substack.com/pub/theeggandtherock/p/i-wrote-a-story-for-a-friend?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

       @kairyssdal There’s nothing quite like restoring something you broke and then tooting it as an enhancement.

       “Sanctions introduced in the UK and Europe in 2020 were supposed to prevent anyone from doing business with Prigozhin. He had also been sanctioned in the US in 2018.But a vast cache of hacked emails shows that, under the leadership of Rishi Sunak, the UK Treasury issued special licences in 2021 to let the oligarch override sanctions and launch an aggressive legal campaign against a journalist in the London courts.”https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/prigozhin-government-russia-ukraine-hack-libel-slapp/

       @kairyssdal Been with the corporation ten years. We’re on year ten of “things are tougher than last year” and “we need to do more with less.”

       @kairyssdal Most Americans don’t understand the debt limit and have no interest in understanding it. They are just reacting with tribal instinct.

       @kairyssdal What a weird way to chose the next in line to be head of state of your nation. But Crown Princess Kate it is. Or is this best two out of three?

       Yes, TikTok is a threat to America. But so are U.S. social media companies. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/03/27/tiktok-china-congress-hearings-social-media/

       @zleap People are going to get confused regardless. The people who need the nuance are the people who don’t understand nuance.

       @maxkennerly But it’s Tik Tok that US politicians want to ban. Surveillance capitalism enabling a surveillance state is a-okay so long as it enriches American oligarchs.

       @marcelias Those conscientious atheists refusing to be creative for Christians should be exciting.
