The Trump administration appears to have continued running campaign-style ads funded by taxpayer dollars after a federal judge ordered them to stop over the weekend.
The spots aired on “60 Minutes,” “ABC World News Tonight” and “America’s Funniest Home Videos” on Sunday night into Monday morning, The Washington Post first reported.

Trump’s Taxpayer-Funded Ads Kept Running After a Court Ordered Him to Stop
The ads ran in over 400 slots after a Sunday evening deadline took effect, according to the groups that sued.

@… I know that you know this is common, but it also betrays that “unsubscribing” doesn’t actually delete your information, it just gets kept somewhere with some Boolean flag which… after 6 years, honestly should probably have been deleted.

Did Trump Make Up “Bill Jones” to Justify Costly Overhaul of Navy Ships?
Speaking at a campaign rally in January 2024, Trump told a story about a sailor aboard the USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier
who argued on behalf of steam catapults over their more modern electromagnetic counterparts.
Trump had been telling the same story since at least 2019
—but this time he gave his source a name: Bill Jones.
Trump claimed that “Bill Jones” had lamented the shift to el…

Did Trump Make Up “Bill Jones” to Justify Costly Overhaul of Navy?
Donald Trump claims a sailor named Bill Jones asked him to ensure the Navy kept using steam catapults on aircraft carriers.

«“It’s an absolute disaster,” said one former official in an Army office supervising the project. “The Army should’ve gone after recovering money from General Dynamics,” added the official, who, like others interviewed for this story, spoke on the condition of anonymity.»

We see pictures of fruit on our phones — apples, oranges, strawberries, bananas. Bright colors, ordinary things that most people rarely think twice about. We look at them for a long time, almost as if our eyes are trying to taste what our mouths cannot. The painful truth is that we are not kept from these foods because they are forbidden or unavailable by choice. Sometimes, we simply cannot afford them

My wife complained her iPhone 17 display was "turning pink". Fishing through settings menus revealed Accessibility > Display > Color Filters set to pink. I turned it off, phone normal.
But the phone kept turning pink. Online searches revealed the default "Accessibility action" for hitting the side button 3x was to turn *on* the color filter (easy to do by accident just handling the phone).

Tech bros are like “I built this!”
Dude, you didn’t build diddly.
The labour your capital captured built it; you just took credit and made sure the resulting work was kept out of the commons. The only thing you did was enclose human potential to benefit the few instead of the many.
This is what capitalists do: they reduce human potential into a resource to be farmed within a zero-sum game, thus stealing from all the possible other futures of humanity.

What an absurdity. I had to move our FritzBox router and thus replug it. Internet was completely broken afterwards. Turns out, the entire street was affected! 😵 Took the Telekom guy the entire morning to pinpoint this. Apparently, replugging subtly broke our FritzBox or its power supply in a way that it kept the Telekom's "distribution box" in the street so busy that it couldn't serve any other modems in the street.
