There are some good videos by Vegas locals talking about how ridiculous the resort fees and restaurant fees on the strip have become.

I’ve been to Vegas a bunch of times. It’s a fun place to lose some money, but it’s all slot machines with worse payouts and tons of resort fees now.

The first episode was great, but the PSA was really something. 49 more PSAs and I’m definitely tuning in to see them.

As an American I love the phrase “they hate us because of our freedoms” because it’s the most reliable way to spot an idiot who doesn’t understand the world at all

If kids want to be protected they need to get some better lobbyists. /s

guillotine and chill?

Let me be unequivocal: No DNC officer should ever attempt to influence the outcome of a primary election, whether on behalf of an incumbent or a challenger

Hah, right. The more accurate statement would be something like

As a DNC officer It’s only acceptable to put your thumb on the RIGHT side of the scale

So in your view, the current makeup of democratic leadership, representatives and senators is what “fixed” should look like?

Trump doesn’t need to go after Bernie and AOC, the Democrats are doing enough of that on their own.

I’m not saying the democrats are as bad as Trump but when “the left party” politicians fall to the right of national polling on a bunch of issues, and the party in general stands for nothing, things are fucked.

Yeah, like someone in the democratic leadership would do something for the good of the country.

I hope the Bernie and AOC rallies start hitting 6 figures for attendance numbers, and that it turns into the start of some real change at the mid-terms. We’ll see.

Jury nullification? What’s that?

No one can code with a horse, of course. That is of course, unless the horse is the famous mr Ed.

Hah, good one!

Amen. 4 years to build a case? January 6th, spend 6-12 months and file charges. What the fuck were they doing for 4 years?

Having been a firefox user for a few years now, Screw Mozilla. What a mismanaged shit-show they’ve become.

I get that browser development costs a ton, and that they’re in a shitty position. But to make this ode to stockholm syndrome blog post… what on EARTH?

Best case, Chrome gets split off into a separate organization free of meddling and they can fund themselves with reasonable donations / investments. In reality, I’m sure Google and other advertising companies will try to get into it and buy the behavior they want, like special-interest groups in US politics.

But if Chrome ended up under any organization with reasonable management who wasn’t completely beholden to advertisers, I’d switch back to Chrome pretty quickly (assuming the whole Manifest V2/V3 thing got un-fucked).

I don’t think people are joining truth social unless they already drank the kool-aid.

I’ll be happy when the Democrats having a primary is a safe assumption again. 1 superdelegate-fuckified primary in 2016, 1 completely skipped primary in 2024.

I know this is a radical idea, but hear me out Democratic strategists… Have primaries, let the voters tell you who they like, so that you end up with the strongest candidate in the general. Just something to think about.

It’s desktop-only right now and feels like for the foreseeable future. Firefox sync works between Zen and Firefox so you can just run Firefox or one of the Android-specific versions of Firefox that support the generic/vanilla firefox sync.

Fancy firefox-based browser along the lines of Arc?

Worth a look if you’re a web power-user / developer sort of person

Sorry, all my money is about to be tied up in tariffs. If you could send me money, that would be swell.

Yeah. Zen is a bit newer and I’d say not quite as slick an experience yet, but it has come a long way in the last couple months and is getting very good
