Finally, a church that’s in the news for doing something GOOD.

Of course. Nobody wants to risk ending up in a gulag just so they can hear about the advancements in bluetooth beamforming technology.

Rent-seeking can fuck right off.

I love Libby! I listen to audiobooks with it all the time.

Other fun library facts:

• If you don’t like leaving the house, lots of libraries let you sign up for a card online
• In addition to books, they usually have ebooks and audiobooks online, as well as DVDs and CDs at your local branch
• You should visit your local library and see if they have other things…some have video games, or kitchen/cooking equipment, there are often classes or presentations, all free

Bro needs to stop using Limewire.

Right you are, updated accordingly. Thanks for the tip.

Oh yeah, my bad for not including what it’s about. I’ll edit that back into the post.

And for extra reading, learn about how the new pope covered up for priests that abused kids when he was a bishop:

Nope…might have made it worse 🤷

LMAO, this is spooky as hell, and is now the official last photo of the pope.

What’s a Nazi’s favorite color smoke?

White smoke.

(For all y’all non Catholics, the vatican has white smoke to signal when they elect a new pope…and ya know…JD Vance is a nazi.)

Need X-kill replacement.

The big ones are at state capitols. For those that can’t make it to their capitol, there are smaller protests in places of high traffic…so yeah, intersections and bridges.

Yeah, that headline did the star of Real Genius dirty with choosing Batman Forever

I’ve flirted with Linux off and on for 20 years, but MS forcing everyone to Win 11, stuffed with spyware, is the end of the road for me. Now on Linux full time. Linux isn’t about to take over the desktop, but I can see Windows shedding a couple million users a year as enshittification continues.

Every Texan I know has a generator to deal with the unreliability of the grid, and there’s never been an article about someone in Iowa getting a surprise $100k electric bill…and the average wage in Texas is substantially lower than in “left wing” states like California or Washington…so not sure you’re making an apples-to-apples comparison, but time will be the judge, we can all check-in in a year and see how this plays out. Does Lemmy have a remind me! bot?

The one state that refuses to connect to the interstate power grid and has Uber-like surge pricing on electricity? Yeah, I’m sure this won’t result in regular people footing the bill for more billionaire profits.

Texas is a joke, but not a good one.

Being mad about this instead of Dave Coulier “dating” Alanis Morisette when he was in his 30s and she was 17 is like being mad at Obama about wearing a tan suit and not all the drone bombings or mass-deportations.

We’re bad at picking what to be pissed about.
