Fediverse to replace stackoverflow would be something I am interested in.
In a few years, this guy will probably get picked up for human trafficking, CSAM, soliciting sex from minors or some other degenerate activity.
Anybody remember that shit stain from FL, Matt Gaetz?
In 2020, Gaetz was accused of child sex trafficking[a] and statutory rape. After an investigation, the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) decided not to charge him. In December 2024, the House Ethics Committee released a report which found evidence that Gaetz paid for sex—including with a 17-year-old—and abused illegal drugs during his tenure in the U.S. House of Representatives. The committee report did not find sufficient evidence that he had not engaged in sex trafficking as defined in federal law.[2]
I am not optimistic. Elon and his brother own majority in the board.
This is all smoke and mirrors. Board opens search for a replacement. Go through the motions of finding a replacement. Delay. Delay. Delay.
Then on a particularly active news cycle, report search has failed, and it gets buried beneath the bullshit that Orangatuan administration did that week.
Is it really bitter if IPO is successful? Citron and other cofounders likely setup to get a massive payout when it IPOs.
Humam isn’t someone that will look after the company for many years. He is brought in to cook the books, and get it to an IPO.
Bro got replaced by some ex-Activision-Blizzard MBA zombie. Humam got 86’d/golden parachuted from Blizzard after only <2 years as “Vice Chairman”. Then a 1-2 yr gap.
Humam about to get another massive bag once labor force is cut, platform further enshittified, and corp books are sufficiently cooked/prepped for IPO.
Amazon really going hard on the bribes to get government cases dropped.
The next 4 years are going to be the Wild West in terms of big business regulation. If country survives the next 4 years, the next administration is going to be fighting an uphill battle to clean up this gigantic mess.
If we somehow have any allies at the end of this, I would be very surprised.
Hypocrisy is the platform of the modern GOP.
It’s clobbering time
No logic. Using this as distraction as rest of administration does atrocious things. Flood media with enough bullshit and the most egregious shit gets unnoticed.
No due process for deported migrants.
People getting picked up off the streets to never be seen again.
Orange man floating the idea of US citizens getting sent to foreign prison.
Oh, and the genocide going on with Israeli govt hardly getting any notice. Have to follow UN directly and parse through their reports.
We are only 3-4 months into this shit stains presidency/"leadership".
0xcafebabe% tariffs, wen?
Microwave from Bosch?
Never mind it’s a kenmore (bottom left). Guess these things all look alike 😂.
I have doubts it will get fully prosecuted under this administration. Tech oligarchy have been sucking Trump’s dick since he started his term.
Zuckerfuck being among the worst in the bunch.
I thought BPA and derivatives such as BPS were banned at the federal level. I remember hearing these claims back in 2010. There was a whole campaign with plastic bottles and “BPA-free” marketing.
Yet it’s still used today? Absolutely insane.
Bidet gang
Which government? USA or El Salvador? I couldn't find anything, just Trump admin saying they will not comply with SCOTUS ruling.
Russia at the very least provides "proof of life" videos of prisoners (ie, WNBA player, Brittney Griner, in 2022)
Do we even know if the man is still alive? Is there at least representation on his behalf to do wellness check?
His family and friends must be stressed the fuck out.

Proposed lesson plans could improve student performance and help teachers, Texas education officials say. Not all district leaders and education advocates are convinced.

Self or Managed? - Property Tax Protest
Never protested my taxes before. Has anybody here done this in the past by your self? Or have you delegated to one of these companies that protests on your behalf?
Seems the catch is with these companies is that they charge a % of what you supposedly save. But also wondering if the process is “easy” enough that I can get my own appraisal, present that during hearing, and be done with it.
Concrete truck driver arrested, admitted to consuming cocaine before fatal bus crash
What an asshole. How the fuck did this person have a “valid” CDL license?
TX truly does get washed up talent from other states and countries — from doctors to CDL drivers.
Personal injury lawyers are foaming at the mouth right now. CDL drivers definitely supposed to be carrying commercial insurance. Company hiring this numbskull didn’t do any DD. That company or insurance carrier will be opening up the check book.
2 deaths — 1 adult, 1 child. 40+ children traumatized for life.

Barton Springs bridge adding new traffic requirement to extend shelf life

I decided. Avoiding this bridge at all costs. I highly doubt the idiot drivers here will obey the traffic diversion. Maybe they will follow if the city puts up spikes, lol.
Vehicles getting larger. EVs are heavier than their ICE equivalents. The failure of this bridge is inevitable.

Abandoned Car Found In Hospital

Found this interesting. Looks like it’s in 🇺🇸. Surprised it has not been towed.
Heard of stories of abandoned vehicles in the Middle East (Dubai?), but with super cars.
Police in Huntington beach say they’re searching for a hit-and-run driver who might be intentionally targeting people on bikes.
Restaurant fire fills downtown Austin with smoke
Fire was nuts, bros. State, and local LEOs blocked off the entire area between 2nd St and 4th St. 2 firehouses responded. Whole squad showed up.
I am thinking it’s a grease fire in the vents. Restaurant probably never properly cleaned the vent hoods. If you ever walked by that place, the fumes from whatever they were burning were quite dank (made my eyes water).
Also rubbernecking dipshits worsened traffic and almost got hit by a dumbass driver while crossing the streets, smh.
What kind of asshole is buying this shit (2023 Wagoneer by Jeep).
