Oh cool, an easy way for the new bots to know who to follow to “look normal” when they start spouting their propaganda and racism. Seems like not an awesome gesture for a wasteland of a platform. Are there really that many new users coming in?

Hey news folks: Any time anybody in power starts rolling off “antifa this… antifa that… “ stop them and make them explain, on the record, what antifa is short for and why it’s bad. Make them say it out loud.

I propose Sam Eagle as the team principal for Cadillac’s Formula 1 team. Disney connection (Disney x F1 2026?) , needs work after muppet vision closure, all American, and brings the Toto Wolff vibes.

Have you ever wished the browser would look at a background color and pick black or white for the text — whichever one provides more contrast? Now, the `constrast-color()` function in CSS does just that. webkit.org/blog/16929/c...

webkit.orgHow to have the browser pick a contrasting color in CSSHave you ever wished you could write simple CSS to declare a color, and then have the browser figure out whether black or white should be paired with that color?

I’m in Fortnite for the first time in a while, watching the premier of a Disney+ Star Wars show in a virtual movie theater, and nothing in my understanding of media makes sense any more.

And now I’m in a virtual bar, watching the show on a screen here. I really don’t know what to make of this in terms of “the youths” but this is blowing my mind. Not sure if in a good way.

About to start on Day 3 in Blue Prince. Got my gaming notebook (if you know, you know) out on the previous run and already feeling like I’m going to look like this by the time I’m done with the game.

"You're a late adopter of AI" is the kind of thing that will only ever be said by somebody desperately trying to sell you something.

Ahh yes… supply and demand… for friends 🤢🤬

Mark Zuckerberg says Meta's chatbots will supplement your real friends: "The average American has fewer than 3 friends ... but has demand for ... 15 friends" (h/t x.com/romanhelmetg...)

Market manipulation

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

So then… nobody called to negotiate and he failed at business again? That’s the only reason I can see for this whiplash tariff removal. Market manipulation is another thought but surely he wouldn’t be doing crime… 🤡

So we’re just making up numbers now. Like they just can’t stop lying ever, even at math. Actually surprised these idiots didn’t work in a 420/69 meme in there somewhere.

WH has now confirmed: this is insane nypost.com/2025/04/02/u...

Every company in America needs to start adding a “Tariff Fee” to every receipt that’s impacted by these tariffs. We’ve seen how angry folks get when there’s a small “service fee” so this should get instant outrage.

They got beat by a virus 5 years ago, and instead of fighting the virus, they fight the people who were fighting it and everything else. The evil is the point, and this is absolute evil from these ghouls. #cdc
