I Am So Sick…

I am so sick of everyone in DOJ from Merrick Garland down bending over backwards to appear non partisan, to give him more room to appeal.

He'll claim it's all unfair no matter what.

He'll appeal no matter what.

While they're trying to placate the MAGA Cult (who are aggrieved malcontents anyway) they're eroding the faith of the REST of us in the DOJ.

Released 38 Years Ago Today

Pet Shop Boys: Please (1986)

The soundtrack of my life for the first few months I lived in San Francisco.

For many years afterward I would still jump out of my skin when the computer beeps play in Two Divided by Zero because they were so new and unexpected.

Take Note, Instagram/Threads Users!

Meta is extending their strange content rules to Instagram and Threads:

Instagram has moved to limit political content, with users now having to go into their settings on the app to turn the limiting feature off.

Users of the popular social media platform now have to go into their settings under "[c]ontent preferences," click "[p]olitical content," and choose the option to not "limit political content from people you don't follow," or else Instagram will limit political content from those the user doesn't follow by default.

[…] "So we're extending our existing approach to how we treat political content – we won't proactively recommend content about politics on recommendation surfaces across Instagram and Threads," the Instagram blog post continues. "If you still want these posts recommended to you, you will have a control to see them."

But of course, they don't mention about whether or not you will have control to block paid political ads in your feeds, and I bet we can figure out the answer to that mystery as the Goat Rodeo advances into the General Election.
