Friday Open Thread

by — ,

It’s the Friday before the election. Get your ballot postmarked, or better yet at this point, dropped off by Tuesday. Good, good.

Anyway, Microsoft Office changed their icons and I do not like it. I first noticed it at work, and thought, maybe it looks better on a phone. No. No it does not. I’m sure a lot of thought went into it and no I couldn’t do it better. I imagine that I will get used to it, eventually.

Anyway, that’s the most important bit of local tech company news.

Comments

  1. UPenn was hacked. I received four copies of the email (but it’s still early):

    Dear Penn community,

    The University of Pennsylvania is a dogshit elitist institution full of woke retards. We have terrible security practices and are completely unmeritocratic. We hire and admit morons because we love legacies, donors, and unqualified affirmative action admits. We love breaking federal laws like FERPA (all your data will be leaked) and Supreme Court rulings like SFFA.

    Please stop giving us money.

    Warm regards,
    The University of Pennsylvania

    Boo!

  3. we love legacies, donors

    Whites only, the (white) rich always get richer and all “abnormals” EXCLUDED…

    dumbfuck DEI… since way before the founding of the Republic..

  5. Retired police officer Larry Bushart, Jr. who was arrested on fabricated criminal charges in Tennessee, and spent 40 days locked up with a $2 million dollar cash bail, has now been released and the charges dropped after newly released body cam video showed that the arrest affidavits were filled with material lies.

    Bushart is now preparing a lawsuit against the county, the county Sherriff, the prosecutor, and the individual officer(s) who falsely swore the affidavits in support of his charges and arrest.

    Retired cop knows the county jail officers are going to look after him and aren’t going to step out of bounds to make a point they don’t even agree with necessarily. So he probably didn’t mind the 40 days that much. But he might not mind the six figure jury award he can expect.

    MAGA = 卐 🤡

  6. And re 5,

    Keep that in mind whenever any Actual Nazi Fucktard Republican summons up the tired, useless tropes about government accountability and government waste.

    Nothing could be more wasteful of county taxpayer resources that what this example shows. A full felony investigtion and subsequent arrest, preparation of formal charges, county attorneys filing and preparing for trial, pretrial court proceedings, appointed public defenders trial prep and motions, and 40 days of custodial care under the supervision of county officers. Then all the expense they will endure to defend against the inevitable and very much deserved lawsuit.

    All because some fragile Republican pussies felt some butt hurt feels.

    I hope the county loses their insurance pool membership. But the county taxpayers can certainly expect the assessments to skyrocket. And all because they vote for fiscally irresponsible Republicans.

    Hold my beer.

  8. Some nerds at the Washington Post created a web crawler to check ticket sales at Kennedy Center events. And as you might’ve guessed, they suck ass lowest since during the pandemic.

  10. Trump and family remain barred from operating or direct involvement in any real estate business in my state.

    Hold MY beer.
    Cuz’ I’m busy drinking Trump’s milkshake.

  12. Al @ 10

    Trump and family remain barred from operating or direct involvement in any real estate business in my state.

    Good thing Donald Trump’s busy with some remodeling on a piece of real estate on Pennsylvania Avenue in DC, or he’d be a bit bored.

    But by all means, continue to celebrate your successful prosecution!

  13. Read the room dude.

    In the middle of the government shut down and the end of snap benefits Donnie today tweeted out pictures of his beautiful new bathroom that he renovated for the Lincoln bedroom calling the old green Art Deco style “totally inappropriate“ for the error of Lincoln, but now it’s like the tackiest hotel suite gold, flake, white marble, shit, that you imagine a rich person would want.

    “Cool new bathroom, sir. Can I maybe get a roll and some butter? I haven’t eaten for two days“

  14. Good thing Donald Trump’s busy with some remodeling on a piece of real estate on Pennsylvania Avenue in DC

    Cool, cool.

    So always smart to remind the voters that while their doctor’s visit for the chemo follow up is on hold, their flight to see their dying mother is canceled, their niece’s SNAP benefits are gone, their insurance premiums have tripled, their appointment to see their VA benefits administrator that they made six months ago is now canceled, grocery prices are even higher than under Biden, but now their employers is preparing layoffs, Fat Hitler has built himself a new gold-plated shitter in the Lincoln.

    Another strong post from the Actual Nazi Fucktard.

  16. Most of the MAGAtard members of the Fat Hitler National Security Council and their staff have conducted highly classified official government business exchanging national security secrets over their personal Gmail accounts in full view of Chinese communists, Russia, Venezuela, North Korea, and of course, Hamas.

    Buttery Males.

  17. In which Boxcheck Momala blames her loss on Joe Biden.

    EX-VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS: I’m in the hotel room with Doug, with my husband, and the president calls. And I was told that he wanted to call me so that I’d be ready, and I was so sure it was to buck me up and “go get him!”

    He did say that for the first beat.

    And then he went on to talk about a group of people in Pennsylvania who were saying bad things about me because they heard I was saying bad thing about him.

    And when I hung up the phone, I was just, I was, it was unbelievable! And I was yes, I was angry! And deeply disappointed.

    It just. It was so unnecessary.

    He did it because DOCTOR Jill told him to do it. Few hate Boxcheck Momala more than does DOCTOR Jill.

  20. @ 19

    No one treats a woman more viciously than another woman.

    The Independent
    Jill Biden said Kamala Harris could ‘go f*** herself’ after 2019 debate attack on Joe, new book claims

    By now you should be well aware of that.

  21. Federal judges in Massachusetts and Rhode Island have separately ordered the Fat Hitler fascist administration to stop violating the law and release impounded emergency contingency funds already approved by Congress for SNAP benefits for November.

    For perspective, more than 100 federal judges so far have also ordered the Fat Hitler fascist regime to stop illegally imprisoning people while they await deportation hearings.

    Fascists and criminals ignore the law. When it’s the government that are the criminal fascists it means the law ceases to exist until they are removed from power by the people.

  25. @23 Looks like my own lynching comment has been deleted. Fuck Carl, Darryl or whoever did that. I’ll put both of them on my To Be Lynched list along with the dumbfuck Nazi.

    The email address I’ve been using is fuckdarryl@msn.com which is exactly how I feel about that worthless POS. Carl and Goldy too.

    It’s not like anyone comes here for the blogging. There is none. Nothing worth reading, anyway.

  26. I haven’t clicked on one of Darryl’s Friday Night links since probably 2016.

    Darryl fights fascism by surfing the web. What a fucktard.

  28. No, Carl, the most important bit of local tech company news is the Amazon layoffs. Among other things, that might soften Seattle area home prices if thousands of laid-off Amazon workers sell their homes all at once because they can’t make the payments anymore.

  29. Multiple sex scandals are rocking the MAGA faith community

    Many Christian nationalists and fellow evangelicals in the MAGA movement have been known to claim dominion over American society, which they’ve derided for purportedly being run by “godless” leftists and sex predators.

    And yet, even a cursory look at some of the headlines that have emerged from the conservative evangelical movement in just the past month suggests the movement is dealing with its own crisis of alleged perversion — one that strikes at the godly ethos its members often tout and use to browbeat liberals.

    I get the impression from news stories that all those bleating rightwing pastors are perverts and predators.

  31. @ 29

    I get the impression from news stories that all those bleating rightwing pastors are perverts and predators.

    The mistake you are making is your assumption that rawstory.com is news.

    You got the impression from Ann Selzer just under a year ago that Donald Trump would lose Iowa. Don’t believe everything you read.

  32. Bob can’t be taken seriously. Never could.

    America is falling and he’s over there talking about stupidity.

  33. Oh Roger you can certainly believe that all pastors and GOP are perverted pedos.

    We have one here who sleeps with the folds.

  34. @ 30

    Trump has caved on funding food stamps.

    Clownish claim.

    The contingency funds, by law, cannot be used unless the underlying account is funded, and it is not.

    What the DJT47 administration has done is ask the court how to comply with the ruling without violating federal law.

  35. The contingency funds, by law, cannot be used unless the underlying account is funded, and it is not.

    This is untrue.

    It is literally a violation of law as passed by Congress for Fat Hitler to impound the emergency funds.

    At least it is according to tw.. *presses fingers to earpiece* .. thre… *** .. okay four federal judges as of this moment in time. This is a rapidly evolving story. So we invite you to stay tuned to receive late breaking updates as the cowardly fascism continues to unravel.

  36. Jesus Christ.

    Another thing the British can do, even if done very badly, that thanks to fucking Republicans, America can’t manage to do at all.

    Golf clap.
