Turns out deporting a bunch of people with a different shade of skin or a different accent didn't make everyone left behind richer.

All the money still goes to the multinational corporations who don't pay their taxes, the CEOs who are shielded from taxes, the shareholders who pay less taxes and the private equity investors who borrow big to buy companies then somehow magically transfer that debt to the company, and who also get a big tax discount compared to those of us who earn our money.

Turns out it was never the immigrants making Americans poor in the first place. Who knew?!

So much winning he has wrapped all the way round.

I wandered in the fediverse
To brighten up my day;
I found a funny story where
A turd won't flush away.

It made me laugh, it made me cry:
The cleaner had to watch him try,
But while she gazed, it was then proved
The crap was easily removed.

And senseless, she would think it was
For her to have to see, because
His Swedish language really was
Quite useless, and we see that it
Did not explain this hapless git
Or why he showed her this big shit.

So mystified she still will be
And puzzzled for eternity:
This stranger and the giant poo
He weirdly showed her in the loo.

I laughed and chuckled, then I see
The person posting next to me -
A Poem_for_your_sprog is here!
A legend! - wow! - from yesteryear!

I'll take this chance to tell you how
Your random poems, then and now,
Have brought me joy. And that is why,
Without help from LLMs, I
Have tried to say in silly rhymes
A thank you for the happy times
You've brought me.

What must she think?! 🤣

Thank you so much for my best laugh in a long while.

Except that the file format hasn't changed, the delivery methods haven't changed, and these devices are perfectly capable of downloading new books from Amazon. This is not a technological decision. This is purely to extract more money from repeat customers.

Same goes for rust and memory safety. What's your point?

Unionization would have been cheaper for the company.

You won the internet today.

Because he's been holding back so far?! Lol no he hasn't. He comes across as a bit desperate to me.

Brutal. Absolutely brutal.

I've absolutely had enough of adults telling children to be what they've preconceived they should be, and traumatizing them in the process.

Taking about disgraced pedophile former prince andrew:

“I feel very badly,” Trump said. “It’s a terrible thing that’s happened to the family. That’s been a tragic situation. It’s too bad. I feel badly for the family.”

That thing you did…
that battle you faced…
that negativity you swerved…
that thing you found hard and had to take a break from…

Well done. Keep going,

Amazon: The same 31 products you don't want, again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again

Does anyone else go looking on amazon because they used to have loads of stuff, but now there’s just a few things over and over and over and they’re not quite what you wanted. It’s so full of promoted content and you keep thinking that somewhere on one of the pages there might be something new, but no, it’s these same products again and again.
