“feature” 🤮

So their actions didn’t matter in the end.

Point of order: Just because the end result was the same, doesn’t mean it didn’t matter.

ETA? Estimated Time of Arrival?

In this context, it means “Edited To Add”. I do wish they abbreviated it some other way, since “Estimated Time of Arrival” is a much more common meaning. I would accept “E2A” or something stupid, as long as it was more unique. Alternatively, they could just use “Edit:”.

Edit: added link.

“Who’s to blame?” Texas governor Greg Abbott repeated back to the reporter. “That’s the word choice of losers. Every football team makes mistakes,” he continued […] “The losing teams are the ones that try to point out who’s to blame. The championship teams are the ones who say, ‘Don’ t worry about it, ma’am, we’ve got this.”

Have you, Greggy? Have you “got this”? Because there are a lot of missing and dead people who would probably disagree if they could. Do you know why “losers” ask questions about what went wrong? It’s because they’re not happy with the outcome, and they would like to do better. Are you happy with the outcome, Greg?

why we don’t leave the US.

Why should we leave? They’re the ones who suck!

The recall process is kind of annoying, but it seems fair if it works. They gave me the option of a $30 Amazon gift card (which is more than I paid for it), or a replacement/updated charger.

They insist you take two photos, and one of them has to include the serial number. The serial number is incredibly small, and it’s very low contrast on the black version of the charger. Getting a photo that actually shows the number was nearly impossible. They also require that you affirm you will “safely dispose of the device” per their instructions.

I’m still waiting to hear if they approve my request, but it’s only been a day.

That’s a different guy (isn’t this timeline wonderful?).

Kilmar Abrego Garcia was arrested during a traffic stop and illegally deported to El Salvador. He was brought back and immediately placed in front of a judge to face criminal charges related to the traffic stop.

Mahmoud Khalil is a student at Columbia University who was illegally abducted by ICE without a warrant, despite Khalil being a legal resident with a greencard. He is still being detained in Louisiana without any criminal charges filed.

Edit: I think I have all of the facts straight. I browsed the wiki articles for a refresher, but maybe I missed something. Anyone feel free to chime in if I got something wrong.

It is disappointing to be reminded that “innocent until proven guilty” is not the shield we were taught it was.

Can you elaborate on this? I want to know what the concerns are.

Obviously, they can track you with cell towers, and there’s the legitimate risk that they’re setting up stingray cells to intercept or even disable communications. All of that sucks, and I wish it weren’t a problem.

However, if I’m participating in a non-violent protest, I do take a bit of a “flood them with noise” attitude by just being there. I also want to be able to contact my group in case we get separated. Burner phones feel a bit like overkill for what should be a non-violent protest.

And yes, I know there are problems with my “nothing to hide, nothing to fear” attitude. I’m not trying to advocate for that. I want more information so that I know why I should be worried.

I had a different one in mind.
