@mhw23 aging dudebro

Although when they do get a speaker his name will be: Kevin. McCarthy. They don’t have anyone else that can get a majority and still be enough of a glutton for punishment to take the job.

Well I guess we get our government shutdown in 42 days because I don’t see the Republicans having a speaker before then.

Every government shutdown in the past has hurt the Republicans at least temporarily, so bring it on. Maybe a good six month shutdown will be enough to push Biden over the line against the soon to be imprisoned one. #burnItDown https://apple.news/AhhORkrLcSs-V8SrPRAn2NA

I guarantee that 100% of the “housing crisis” is due to rich speculators buying up property and other rich NIMBYs preventing zoning updates that would allow enough housing to be built, and 0% is due to immigrants. This is how it always is in this country - blame poor and BIPOC people for problems created by rich white people.

@Mhw23 all good now. New phone feels 100% better in the hand than the old one. I’m getting a case but will probably go back and forth between using it and going caseless.

@Mhw23 Yep. I’m in password hell right now. 😂 it’s a trade off. If I restore from cloud I can use the phone sooner but the passwords are all gone, if I restore direct from the other phone it takes hours but I get passwords.

@Mhw23 How to light $44 billion dollars on fire in less than a year. Mastodon and Threads better get ready for the onslaught.

I used to write a lot of fake Craigslist Casual Encounters posts and I definitely used the tactic of writing something in English and then running it back and forth through several languages in google translate until it was still English, but worded VERY strangely, just to see what kind of responses I would get.

Why is it "Meadows suffers legal setback" rather than "judge denies nonsense argument in attempt to stall Meadows trial?" A "legal setback" for Meadows is probably called justice.

@Mhw23 I will probably go white titanium 256 GB. Already ordered my starlight S9 with guava solo loop. Had to restrain myself from ordering the pink one because #pinkIsTheNewGold

@Mhw23 yep. Commenting about the boring keynote is far more fun than the boring keynote

@Mhw23 6 TB arriving just in time because we’re almost out of space on iCloud+

@Mhw23 I’m definitely in for a Vision Pro

@Mhw23 doesn’t matter. I kind of hate them all. Will get a nice case if I upgrade. So far underwhelming but cameras will probably get me.

TiPhone Pro

We've gone from an iPod, a phone, an internet mobile communicator to ... a AAA membership. I sure as hell couldn't have seen it.

@Mhw23 probably with a USB-A to USB-C cable but that’s another cable to buy

Apple is so woke I don’t know how they get a pass from the MAGA people
