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.

Elon Musk’s Family History in South Africa Reveals Ties to Apartheid & Neo-Nazi Movements
“The Best People” always seem to end up meaning autocrats and racists. Often both.
As Internet enshittification marches on, here are some of the worst offenders
It ain’t just politics going to shit. Here’s some technology trends that just plain suck.
U.S. limits Canadian access to iconic Stanstead, Que., border-straddling library
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.
Exclusive: Navajo Code Talkers disappear from military websites after Trump DEI order
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?

This week in Google
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.
NFL will remove ‘End Racism’ from the end zones ahead of Super Bowl
Remember back in 2019 when the Navy covered up the name of the John S. McCain so as not to offend Trump’s fragile ego? Yeah, this is a lot like that.
The NFL is not going to use the “End Racism” slogan at the edge of the end zone like they’ve been doing since 2020 because Trump wants to go the Super Bowl.
Not a single institution in this nation has the spine to stand up against this racist. Not one. We deserve whatever is coming I guess.
We are gonna do a movie marathon instead on Sunday. Fuck these enabling shits.
