The president is himself forever immune from prosecution for crimes committed using his official power, and he can pardon anyone for helping him to commit federal crimes, explicitly including an actions in furtherance of a coup to illegally hold onto the office of the presidency. That’s the upshot.

It’s time to stop talking about a second #Trump #presidency as a possibility. #Democrat entropy, #apathy and myopic navel-gazing plus the inability to prevent #Biden from running again have guaranteed a #disastrous #election cycle.

How long into his second administration before #Trump declares his own #birthday a national holiday? Taking bets. It would serve a double function for him by overshadowing #Juneteenth.

Progressives need to get used to this: Putin/Trump will win in November and this time he won’t leave at the end of the term. You should have stopped Biden from running again. Literally anyone else could have beaten Trump. America has seen its last truly free election.

More than double the number of consumers in line than last year. #RecordStoreDay has become like everything else in America: overcrowded, utterly commercialized and just another sluice to pour cash into the bank accounts of the 1%. #Capitalism kills everything. #RSD2024.

Those horrible #wasps that turn #spiders into #zombies before consuming them? This is precisely analogous to what #SEO firms have done to #Google, #Bing and the rest.
#Lycos, #Hotbot, #yahoo circa 1997 easily outperform search engine technology in 2024. And their AI interfaces are no better.

The second search engine #failure today for #Google & #Bing. How do I center align text in the Bear notes app. Nothing but results wanting to sell me 3rd party tools to import data into Bear. Because command-v isn’t good enough somehow.

It’s like the search engines have literally become blind to certain terms that don’t match what the SEO wants to sell me. Utter failure of contextual meaning or nuance.
I first got onto the web in 1994- today’s search engines have become worse than the crudest available search options back then.

I asked Google and Bing both first for examples to help me format a spreadsheet to build an article index for a collection of magazines. Page after page of results, every single answer literally was how to format an article for publication in a magazine. All of it paywalled of course.

It’s a weird word where search engines have been so poisoned by SEO that I cannot get a single accurate result in Google or Bing to even the simplest and most straightforward queries.

Today's NYT Crossword creator/editor was very, very lazy. Wow. So bad. Difficulty through obscurity, apparently, as a shortcut to actual effort.

'E' is by far the worst letter in the NYT Letter Boxed game. Far fewer words start with it than end with it. Ultimate combo breaker. *shakes fist*

It's 2:36 am. Sleep has decided once again to flip me off, kick me in the nuts, and storm out in a huff. It's a routine we've gotten into.

Lol *everything* triggers right-wingers - it's built into their branding: "Change is terrifying and 'other' must be killed and if they don't allow us to, we're being persecuted." In other news, water is wet.

Much has been written about the new New York Times word game, #Connections. All of it misses that if your mind organizes and patterns information differently than the author's, it becomes nearly impossible to win. The arbitrary nature of the game's design defeats any logical solving structure. #NYT
