Very happy to see Trump’s illegal block on wind farm development thrown out by a judge, along with the Orwellian justification given for it—a classic inversion of the truth. Every accusation is a confession, etc. (“The government argued that the states’ claims amount to nothing more than a policy disagreement over preferences for wind versus fossil fuel energy development that is outside the federal court’s jurisdiction.”)

Federal judge throws out Trump order blocking development of wind energy
A federal judge has struck down President Donald Trump’s executive order blocking wind energy projects, saying the effort to halt virtually all leasing of wind farms on federal lands and waters was “arbitrary and capricious” and violates U.S. law. Judge Patti Saris of the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts vacated Trump’s Jan. 20 executive order. Saris ruled in favor of a coalition of state attorneys general from 17 states and Washington, D.C., led by New York's attor…

confession: for several years i had assumed, unquestioningly, that "SMP Minecraft" is for "symmetric multiplayer"

A few days ago I retooted a post about allegations of fraudulent / illegal behavior of a food delivery app (link to post: https://thepit.social/@peter/115824339431975101)
It turns out that the information in the screenshots was a hoax. Here‘s the debunking by a journalist:

Might be legal but screams immorality! This is Big Tech’s playbook: dehumanize workers, manipulate customers, and call it ‘disruption.’ I don’t care how “good” the service feels. As a consumer and a worker, it’s time to choose and redefine BETTER! Original Reddit post: https://www.reddit.c…

'We Are Cooked': Trump’s Odd Confession to Troops Has People Wondering What Doctors Really Found in That MRI

Office confession number 2 for today - if we run out of something in our break room, I always go to the executives break room. Weirdly, their kitchen area is always stocked up to the brim. Strange.
Sometimes I steal their supply and bring it up to our break room. I'm not ashamed of it either.

Trump's weird claim during the debate accusing Dems of post-birth abortions that we all just dismissed as him being stupid suddenly makes horrific sense now.
Every accusation is a fucking confession.
