Someone should write an AI agent that finds ghost jobs and then just applies for all their job postings with a non stop stream of perfect ghost candidates.
When he finally dies, I think we should give him a funeral like an ancient pharaoh -- and bury all his cabinet officials and the Congress-critters he owns, along with him. Better yet, a funeral pyre.
DOGE uploaded live copy of Social Security database to โvulnerableโ cloud server, says #whistleblower
"Borges warned in the complaint that if this information were compromised, โit is possible that the sensitive [personally identifiable information] on every American including health diagnoses, income levels and banking information, family relationships, and personal biographic data could be exposed publicly, and shared widely.โ" techcrunch.com/2025/08/26/dogeโฆ
The Social Security Administration's chief data officer has publicly blown the whistle, alleging DOGE put hundreds of millions of Social Security records at risk of compromise.
The image shows a lizard lying on the ground amidst grass and dry leaves. The lizard has a slender body with a dark back and a blue tail. Its head is small with a pointed snout, and it has a distinctive stripe pattern along its body. The ground is covered with a mix of green and brown grass, with scattered dry leaves and twigs. The lighting suggests it is daytime, and the shadows indicate the presence of sunlight filtering through the foliage. The lizard is positioned in the center of the image, with its body slightly curved, blending into the natural surroundings.

Masked immigration raids are an assault on freedom. They are not about protection. They are about fear, secrecy, and unchecked power. And every mask is a shield against accountability.
We must not allow cruelty to hide in plain sight.
Please, add your voice to this petition today. Together we can tell Congress and state legislators: No more secrets. No more abuse. No more terror. thepetitionsite.com/342/682/73โฆ

Florida Deploys Police To Stare At Crosswalks, Stop Them From Being Painted Rainbow Colors: Earlier this week, officers painted the rainbow stripes into stark black and white. Citizens repainted them. Road crews erased them again.
any girlies with low porosity hair have advice for making it take less than 4 hours to dry completely?? even when using a hair dryer it still takes upwards of 30 minutes
"#DeSantisโ administration made the deeply offensive decision last week to paint over the memorial crosswalk outside the Pulse nightclub in Orlando ...erasure of the memorial is not merely a disregard for a physical space, but a profound desecration...and a grievous affront to the memory of the 49 lives lost and the countless others impacted by the horrific mass shooting targeting the #LGBTQ community."
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantisโ administration painted over the memorial crosswalk near Orlando's Pulse nightclub where a gunman targeting LGBTQ people killed 49 people.
Ukrainian soldier Vladislav endured brutal torture by Russian captors before escaping after five days. Despite severe injuries, he is recovering in a hospital, with doctors hopeful about restoring his speech. His resilience shines through as he dreams of returning to the front lines and reuniting with his daughter. ๐ช๐ suspilne.media/dnipro/1099130-โฆ

I disabled a bunch of mirrors, and the ones that were left were fast. I arbitrarily picked ones close to me, and a couple from other regions I liked the flags of.
Not an educated solution, but it may work until the true issue is revealed.
I believe that at least some Linux package managers monitor the download speed and automatically change the mirror if it's unexpectedly low. Maybe an idea for you too?
interesting. At #IzzyOnDroid, we saw this spike 2 days earlier, at the 23rd, with number of downloads (stats.izzyondroid.org/) suddenly spiking from 30k to 50k daily (but there were such spikes before). Coincidence? But yeah, number of daily visitors started climbing after 24th with 250k to 270k on the 27thโฆ
The perfect time was these days to switch phones. It takes time to download the apps and get everything back in place but never had a phone laying around for hours just to download the apps. This box is โ now. No need to do it twice ;)
i wouldn't even care much about only getting 80kbit/s (as i do frequently) if fdroid kept reliably puttering along but very often it stops like 10% in unless i keep the app and screen active. when i can't do something else while it's downloading it's much more of an issue.
thanks for being a main reason i don't need a google account
โYou Donโt Have the Authority, I Will Not Resignโ: Fed Reserve Governor Lisa Cook Defies Trumpโs Firing Attempt
Donald #Trump just picked a fight with the #FederalReserve, and it might blow up in court โPresident Trump purported to fire me โfor causeโ when no cause exists under the law, and he has no authority to do so,โ she said in a statement. โI will not resign.โ Trumpโs attempt to remove a sitting Fed governor is unprecedented โ and almost certainly illegal dailyboulder.com/you-dont-haveโฆ
One of the reasons why I want Universal Basic Income is I long ago found I do enjoy a good day's work.
The problem about a good day's work is you cannot live off of it.
For example, one of my most fulfilling roles was not in management, or business, but rather feeding the homeless and those less fortunate at a local survival center. Or reading to children at one of the local libraries.
That made me feel great and gave me a sense of purpose. But you cannot live on doing what is right anymore in America. We're not a moral and ethical society. But we can be.
The image is a political cartoon depicting an airplane labeled "U.S. ECONOMY" with an American flag on its side. The airplane is shown from a top-down perspective, with its wings and engines visible. The cartoon includes a speech bubble coming from the airplane's nose, which reads, "It's Captain Trump, the flight attendant screaming, 'We're gonna crash!' is fired..." The cartoon is signed by Mike Luckovich at the bottom left corner, with the date "8/28/19" written next to it. The background is a simple light blue sky, emphasizing the airplane and the speech bubble.
