I think many people are unaware of a communities ability to perpetuate continual self harm to spite everyone else.

No matter how shit it gets they keep going.

Nearly 50 years on this planet and "my community" continues down this path.

A toxic culture is hard as fuck to shift is what I'm saying.

also - holy shit, the M4pro processor is fast as fuck.

Working on my laptop while setting up my new mac... moved the cursor from my laptop to the far side and all of a sudden I was controlling the mini.

Dragged a file from the mini and it just comes on across onto the laptop.

No idea how old that feature is but that's awesome.

Sometimes with Apple it really is a "zero setup, this just works"

Because mood. It's so tiring.

--

People so staunch and true, they're fixated,
Shining with self-regard like polished stones.
And their whole life spent admiring themselves
For their own long-suffering.
Licking their wounds
And flashing them around like decorations.
I hate it, I always hated it, and I am
A part of it myself.

🙌 it’s so tiny

and I don't get why everyone's so in love with Figma either

adobe fonts has to be, other than Google properties, one of the worst bloody designed and functioning web services.

It's so shit, clunky, unresponsive.

You may want to look away from horrors unfolding. you may want to deny those horrors are happening. You may want to try to justify those horrors that are happening.

That's on you. You live with that.

climate, conflict, march of authoritarianism - world is horrific right now. Don't excuse horrors.

It's a weird thing, I can't make large purchases without it actually making me feel ill. I want to enjoy and be excited I'm getting a computer today but I actually feel nauseous. It's always the same.

I do not enjoy buying myself what I see are frivolities (even if they aren't)

I put it down to financial instability when I was growing up.

Shit sticks with you.

Now think about what Elon is doing on a global scale through Twitter.

The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists.

Hannah Arendt

My daughter gets a Protestant education, my friends daughter a Catholic one. How can they even say this with a straight face.

These are minor grievances considering the state of it all but it really pisses me off.

World leaders congratulating Trump

It’s make dinner and play with pup multitasking time

You can’t protect the poor by appeasing business interests. You can’t protect the poor by appeasing tyrants. You can’t protect the planet by appeasing Corporations.

We all have hard lessons to learn

Biden urges Americans to “Bring down the temperature”

Yeah, not what he meant but maybe we could’ve sorted that one out over the last 50 years.

From AP

"White voters make up a bulk of the voting electorate in the United States, and they did not shift their support significantly at the national level compared to 2020.

A majority of white voters cast their ballot for Trump, unchanged from the 2020 election that he narrowly lost. About 4 in 10 white voters backed Harris, which is about the same as Biden received in 2020."

🤷‍♂️

Monstrous as he is, Trump is no outlier. He is the distillation of capitalist pseudo-democracy. His values, entirely extrinsic – fixated on prestige, status, image, fame, power and wealth – are the dominant values projected for years on to every screen and into every mind. His criminality is the system’s criminality. His abuse of women, of staff, of customers... of ecosystems, is the abuse the majority of the world’s people have suffered for centuries.
