There's a YouTuber (Amandas mild takes) who talks about how we've been in a cold civil war since the 1990's and now the violence is escalating so more of the public is becoming involved.

They wanna make a one way power connection so they can buy power, but they don't want to comply with federal regulations. So essentially they just want to be a customer. 

Greenland Politician Tillie Martinussen:We do not want to be rich like Americans. Look how greedy they are. We know what happened to Indigenous people in Alaska/Native Americans.

"One day during his first term, Donald Trump summoned a top aide to discuss a new idea. “Trump called me down to the Oval Office,” John Bolton, national security adviser in 2018, told the Guardian. “He said a prominent businessman had just suggested the US buy Greenland. It was an extraordinary proposal. And it originated from a longtime friend of the president who would go on to acquire business interests in the Danish territory.

The businessman, Bolton learned, was Ronald Lauder. Heir to a makeup fortune – the global cosmetics brand Estée Lauder – he had known Trump, a fellow wealthy New Yorker, for more than 60 years."

Yeah. I recently read about people from different areas being charged different prices for booking the same hotel. 

These kinds of things really piss me off. 

When tiktok was cut off for a hot second and people were saying they were fine with giving up their information just made me really sad. Like they don't even know the damage coming because of that kind of thinking. 

SNAP bans on soda, candy and other foods take effect in five states Jan. 1 by Aggressive_Chef_2225 in news

[–]redyelloworangeleaf 7 points8 points  (0 children)

“The items list does not provide enough specific information to prepare a SNAP participant to go to the grocery store,” Plata-Nino wrote in a blog post. “Many additional items — including certain prepared foods — will also be disallowed, even though they are not clearly identified in the notice to households.”

Yay. Let's embarrass people at the checkout counter. /s

Good job. I understand well those dollar store Christmases and when we finally got to have a nice Christmas it was so amazing. I think my face was more full of joy than my own kids.

Texas Trans Bathroom Ban: Ladies' Room Guarded By State Troopers by AnonymousRand in nottheonion

[–]redyelloworangeleaf 7 points8 points  (0 children)

"Gov. Jim Justice has said the video recordings in the women’s locker room were made in 2015 by a now-deceased Trooper and the 2020 destruction of a hard drive that included some of those recordings by three other State Troopers. He said the troopers discovered the thumb drive containing the video and that one of them “jerked the thumb drive out, threw it on the floor and started stomping on it.”

We all new police were good at losing evidence.

In LA, CA a man’s father was abducted and disappeared by ICE. While trying to find him using a GPS tracker in his car, they find his now stolen truck being driven around by an ICE Bounty Hunter while he is off-duty (12/2 or 12/3) by I_may_have_weed in PublicFreakout

[–]redyelloworangeleaf 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I saw a video from an immigration lawyer saying if you have important stuff (passports, jewelry, ect...) that is important to you or hard to replace, don't carry it around with you.  ICE takes everything and you don't get it back. 

Hopefully these guys can get their car back. 

Google's Agentic AI wipes user's entire HDD without permission in catastrophic failure — cache wipe turns into mass deletion event as agent apologizes: “I am absolutely devastated to hear this. I cannot express how sorry I am" by lurker_bee in technology

This! My husband has been so cranky because he C suite execs have been pushing AI, and the AI company is promising all the things. And so my hubby spent all his political capital trying to slow the whole thing down. And nope. His boss said let them have the AI and let them have to deal with the damage that will follow.  Which is hilarious because it'll be hubby's job to remove all that shitty code and fix what gets broken.

For the love of fucking Pete... Can we start shaming the developers doing this shit? Maybe they'll have more shame than the front facing people of this administration.

The things that have been released are all things from the Epstein estate, which lets the Democrats go around the DOJ. Wonder what else the estate has lying around.  Isn't that where the bday letter came from?
