Project 2025 has been gaining media attention lately, and rightly so. With celebrities and politicians alike raising the alarm about this terrifying MAGA-made plan for a second Trump term, it's important to understand just what it would mean if it were implemented. Writer Jay Kuo breaks down the 900-page document into its key subject areas so you don't have to. https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/project-2025-heritage-foundation-trump

@georgetakei In 1933 Germany we called this „Reichstagsbrandverordnung“ and „Ermächtigungsgesetz“. 🤬

@georgetakei I'm glad P2025 is finally getting some attention. Even NPR is talking about it.

Latest Apple Arcade additions show Apple is looking backward, not forward

Opinion: Games that were popular in 2011 or even 2022 won't move the needle for Apple.

@arstechnica I really love that you are on Mastodon, but since the timeline is pure here, dumping 12 articles at the same time, kind of spams my timeline. Is there some way you can avoid the article dump? On topic : Apple Arcade - I love the pick-up-and-play vibe of it - More Indie/experimental, is better suited for PC or Consoles imho, but it'd be good for Apple to get one fresh knock-out hit game on the service.

They "settle" it by abiding to the law. At least that's what they claim to do. I believe it when I see it.

@georgetakei I love how we only have to do one simple thing to at least keep the pandemic from wrecking all our lives and it's the one thing you have to fight tooth and nail for against ever more resistance by the day.

Whole generations are going to be disabled by long covid and not even know what's going on as the brain fog hits while their disrupted immune systems fall victim to simple diseases over and over.

@georgetakei I found some ancient Band-Aids in my cabinet--and they worked great! The only thing that deteriorated was the paper wrapping for each one: just about turn to dust when you touch them.
