"sure, fascism is *pretty* bad, but I have real concerns about transgender women in sports" is a hell of a take.
I got the least-cool of the 3 options for 'I Voted' stickers with my mail-in ballot, which is bullshit, so I didn't vote.
Just kidding--you know I voted...

WH statement from Biden:
“The United States is announcing today that we will provide $20 billion in loans to Ukraine that will be paid back by the interest earned from immobilized Russian sovereign assets. In other words, Ukraine can receive the assistance it needs now, without burdening taxpayers. These loans will support the people of Ukraine as they defend and rebuild their country. And our efforts make it clear: tyrants will be responsible for the damages they cause.”

The FCC Is “Looking Into” Shitty, Technically Unnecessary Broadband Usage Caps
For many, many years we’ve pointed out that broadband usage caps are hugely profitable bullshit, used by regional telecom monopolies to rip off captive customers.

Fox is really terrible at hiding they're part of the Trump campaign.

More than 353,000 North Carolinians voted on Thursday, the first day of early voting in the state, according to the State Board of Elections.
That's a new record. The previous record was set in 2020, with over 348,000 votes cast on the first day of early voting that year.
The web app wants to upsell me to a different vehicle for $$. The choices they give me include:
- a chevy subdivision (aka the exxon valdez) for $40 extra per day
- a tesla model 3 for $15./day
- some other humongous Kia or whatever for $50/day
- a chevy bolt EV for $35/day.
Long story short--I'm paying an extra $20/day to avoid the stigma of driving a tesla.
So I'm at the Hertz rental car place at JFK at 12:30am, there's one dude working & it's pretty much a DMV-level of hassle and arbitrary requirements.
OF COURSE they don't have the car I reserved. But I'm trying to use their web app check-in to "skip the line" and that thing won't just upgrade you to whatever they do have available, which is what a human person would do.
