Do not tell me you are a proud American and are also a Republican.
You are not. You are a liar. They erased Harriet Tubman from an Underground Railroad NPS website. You know, the lady that would currently be on our $20 bill if Trump hadn’t stopped it from happening.
I was waiting for this.
Ugh.
Fucking Ajit Pai is back and trying to kill our net freedoms, such as they are after his last pass.
“The Best People” always seem to end up meaning autocrats and racists. Often both.
It ain’t just politics going to shit. Here’s some technology trends that just plain suck.
Evil cosplayer Kristi Noem loves hurting people. In this instance, she has ordered shutting down Canadian access to a shared public library. I mean, you *can* access it still, you just have to go through the hoops of dealing with border security now.
In short, hurt a community in order to look tough, while really showing your weakness.
I first heard this on As it Happens the other night, which unfortunately does not separate stories as often as they should but it is the first story on this episode. Give it a listen.
In line with their efforts to erase women and minorities from our shared history, the Trump bastards have erased the Wind Talkers from our nation’s military websites.
Look, we KNOW they are racist and sexist pieces of shit. But these are orders. Bad orders, illegal orders. Who the fuck is carrying these out? Who isn’t raising a stink? Who isn’t pulling a pistol and saying “FUCK NO!” to whoever gives them such a nasty direction?
A look at the past enduring in Londontown.
I knew some of this, but not as much as I should have I think.
Fuck PBS for obeying in advance.
Remember this slogan?
Yeah, once upon a time Google used to operate by this singular standard.
These days? Not so much. As of today, this is what they are calling the Gulf of Mexico.
Yeah, they are sucking up to Trump.
Over at Google Calendar, they are removing Black History Month, Indigenous People Month, Jewish Heritage, Holocaust Remembrance Day, and Hispanic Heritage Month, among others. Their “reasoning”? It is all too hard to keep track of. You know, the site that catalogs the whole ass internet can’t sort a few hundred days properly.
We have a LOT of rich tech folks getting on their knees for an old racist.
