Fuck you Biden:

In August of 2024, Akima Infrastructure Protection was given a $163.4m contract by the Biden administration to run the migrant detention facility at Guantánamo through June of 2029.

Asshole knew what was coming and still awarded a contract to a contracting company with KNOWN human rights abuses against victims/detainees.

Eh, I'm with unexposedhazard on this one. From my anecdotal past experiences working at nearly all type of civilian organizations over the years; the average person is remarkably uninformed/lacking knowledge or interest in infosec, then doubles down on it when shown they have vulnerabilities. But like the article references, unfortunately, the US has previously been caught spying on allies and citizens alike (ex. bugging Merkel's phone and the illegal wiretapping of US citizens by the NSA).

Slightly off topic, but if you are receiving any disability benefit payments from SSI please make sure to get in touch with the social security administration to get the process of switching it to just your name and to a separate account at a different bank than you family uses (just prevents the off chance they find a way to access your account if a banker doesn't do their job correctly).

Agreed :(

Wish people would get over the whole "Oh that's just politics/a smear campaign" or "I don't talk politics" when anyone tries to discuss the US public officials' actions or provide a different view (politicians, institutions, policy, etc) since it effects our everyday lives. Met too many deniers the past few years about first lady cheeto's actions.

I'm pretty sure you're joking but, just in case, here's a list last updated in 2019 from PBS. As they say, where there's smoke, there's fire; if there's this many sexual assaults that have been publicly reported, then there will always be more who won't come forward.

At a minimum he's a Quagmire level sex pest (sex/dopamine addict), but let's be honest, dude is a serial rapist. I'd argue this is where he falls since it's obvious he cares only for himself to the point that he raped his own wife (Ivana Trump) and treats women like toys to be used.

Good, we need more people doing stuff like that.

Here we go again. Get your N95 masks and bidet now while there's no surge pricing and limited supplies.

Yes, cant find the post, but someone posted the image from the GlobalSwitchDay post onto reddit and it got removed and a warning or temp ban or something:

Fediverse alternatives iamge

"Butt fuck Egypt (BFE)," when referring to being in the middle of nowhere or the far edges of a parking area. For example, Sally complained to her friend in the food court, "I had to park all the way in BFE. I'm dreading the walk back to the car."

Here's to hoping it's just saber-rattling to remind the feds how important it is to the nation. CA standards benefit way more than just CA residents; i.e. giving other states framework to adopt similar legislation (like emission standards) or even HR practices. Anecdotally, I worked for a CA based company at an east coast office; when they laid a portion of the workforce off, they paid severance to all affected even though many of us were in 'right to work' states.

I'll keep this civil. NO. ONE. CARES. You deserve ALL the consequences that came from your involvement. You should be happy that you didn't get the Rosenburg treatment even though every Jan. 6 Terrorist deserved it.

I'll leave this here:

Penalty: Under U.S. Code Title 18, the penalty is death, or not less than five years' imprisonment (with a minimum fine of $10,000, if not sentenced to death). Any person convicted of treason against the United States also forfeits the right to hold public office in the United States.

I would definitely recommend reading the full article. There's all kinds of hilarious tidbits. Like that the Cooler Screens ceo Arsen Avakian's leadership seems to be rather fiscally disastrous wherever he goes. Or my favorite bit:

Avakian discussed the concept that would become Cooler Screens with friends in Chicago business circles, including Wasson [co-founder of Cooler Screens]. As head of Walgreens from 2009 to 2015, Wasson is most remembered for overseeing its fraught international merger with Alliance Boots, a European chain. But he also bet on technology, gussying up its pharmacies with tablets, acquiring e-tailer Drugstore.com and leading the company’s $140 million investment in a then-promising startup called Theranos. (Oops.)

Jeepers fucking creepers, you would think that Walgreens/ big corporations in general would do some kind of background investigation or get a PI to find out if they have any skeletons in their closets that would prove fiscally harmful if entered into an agreement. Their total lack of operational security and basically saying 'Yes, Daddy, please?' when presented with an opportunity from the same guy that dragged the company into the whole Theranos debacle is flabbergasting.

Wasson set up a demo meeting with billionaire Stefano Pessina, Walgreens’ largest shareholder and his successor as CEO, with whom he remained friendly after departing the pharmacy chain. “‘We’re not tech guys,’” Avakian remembers the Walgreens team saying. “‘Prove it to us.’” He and Wasson say that based on their PowerPoint presentation, the company approved a six-store pilot program for 2018.

A fucking POWERPOINT is all it took even after Theranos to convince them of this boondoggle.

I very much imagine it would be. It's the same as when they put 'gluten free' on ridiculous stuff like raw meat, packaged raw vegetables, raw nuts, and the list goes on.....

Nearly all your major appliances in your home have a filter that needs replaced or cleaned on a regular basis (fridge, HVAC system, dishwasher, dryer, etc.). Doing so and doing a quick clean of the appliance will improve its efficiency, life span, and most importantly save you on your electric bill.

Not sure where the filter is or what maintenance to do? A quick Google search of "how to clean fridge filter" or "where is the air filter for my heat pump" should start to give you an idea of what needs done.

No, the day of. My mom had made a big deal about taking pictures and making a big family brunch before she left. I was alone at my grandfather's house and getting to watch TV while playing a MMO simultaneously. Amazing day, until the phone call that upended everything.

That fateful day in July 2009. Parents were hit by a guy who was fucked up by a shopping list of drugs. Mom dead, the family that was quickly fell apart. She was no longer around to help hide my father's alcoholism. Not even 6 months after her death, a foul harpy of a female human latched on to him and only encouraged the worst parts of him while slowly doing everything she could to remove or erase his family.

Wrong parent died that day.

Sincerely, thank you for what you do!! Mod authors like you are why this game has been so awesome for the past 10 years (I miss those email links to the new game version download).

He’s perhaps most known locally for founding the nonprofit Common Ground in the wake of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Common Ground and its health clinic served a half a million Katrina survivors in its first year. In 2019, Rahim received a Living Legend award from the Southern University of New Orleans honoring his work. In a box near his couch sits a framed Lifetime President’s Volunteer Service Award, recently received from President Biden.

For years, Rahim had suspected—but never been able to prove—that the FBI had targeted him. Now, government documents showed that he was correct.

Documents obtained last year by The Nation show that in August 2006, a year after Katrina, the New Orleans Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF), a federal-police amalgamation led by the FBI, began conducting a “threat assessment” of Malik Rahim and Common Ground for “possible nefarious Domestic Terrorism or Anarchist activities.”

The JTTF’s report claimed that Common Ground was distributing “propaganda” and “anti-government posters.” Under a section titled “Intelligence Gaps,” the JTTF posed several questions, like: “Is Common Ground planning any terrorist attacks against Louisiana government facilities?,” and, “What anarchist groups and gangs, besides the New Black Panther party, is the Common Ground Collective recruiting from?” It ends with a request for the JTTF to conduct an investigation into Common Ground.

Perfect example of the inherent racism built into the US system; one of the former Black Panthers they interviewed is the definition of a good samaritan that stepped up for his community in ways the government didn't, yet they had the audacity to try and claim he was helping people to recruit new Black Panther members?! Yet actual American terrorists on Jan 7, 2021 have been treated with kid gloves in comparison since they were mostly white.

Fancy thing that aquifer in the southeast US. Who wouldve guessed pumping out more than can be replaced would cause sinkholes to get worse and cause environmental and building suitability issues? Smh at the lack of forsight
