Don’t let Java try hallucinogens. It will get lost in the public static void.

The top three priorities of a true libertarian are I, Me, Mine.

All of the self-styled “libertarians” I know are simply looking for an excuse to not pay taxes.

I think the issue is people getting hung up on the gender identity, not the name. I have known lots of people who go by preferred names, whether chosen themselves or given to them by friends as nicknames. Hell, there are a few people I knew for years only by their preferred name/nickname without realizing it wasn’t their given name.

And stage names make a lot of sense from a practical standpoint. Being famous by your given name can make it hard to separate professional life from personal life.

“To The Department of Energy: DRILL, BABY, DRILL!!! And I mean NOW!!!” he added on Truth Social.

Fun fact #1: The department of energy does not control oil drilling. Sorry Donald, they can’t unilaterally make it happen.

Fun fact #2: Not all oil is equal. Refineries are designed to process certain grades of oil into specific products, and different parts of the world have different grades. Refineries also often blend oils from different parts of the world to get the characteristics they need for their process.

Fun fact #3: Moving domestic petroleum products between the west coast and the rest of the US is an expensive pain in the ass. There is a distinct lack of pipelines, so you need to ship it through the Panama canal. But shipping is expensive thanks to the Jones Act. So California, Oregon, and Washington would get particularly screwed in a domestic-only oil market.

“Drill, baby, drill!” has always been an immensely stupid rallying cry, even if you don’t care about the environment.

Free is good, of course. But I also have some gripes about how Band functions so I’m interested to see what else is out there. Thanks for the Campfire recommendation; I will check it out.

This worked until my kids developed a tolerance for heat. They are adapting! It’s only a matter of time before they are completely resistant!

They exist!

But !modernangel@sh.itjust.works is correct.

How so? Masked men grabbed Rumeysa Ozturk off the street, caught on camera and even questioned by passers by. I haven’t seen their identites released, and I don’t see how it will happen unless the federal government wants it to happen.

Chin up, mate. Your ship will come in some day.

I was really hoping this was a case of intentional malicious compliance to draw attention to the stupidity of this new policy. No such luck.

Echoes of late 2022 when Twitter abruptly fired thousands of people, then turned around days later and tried to rehire many of them. I’m sure it’s purely a coincidence that one person is closely tied to both incidents.
