POTUS reminding us that he's always just a couple bad polls away from outing American Jews as an internal enemy and "low-IQ" threat to national security.

Bavaria wants to move to Microsoft cloud by year-end
Bavaria wants to equip its authorities with Microsoft 365. Critics expect license costs in the billions and warn of the loss of digital sovereignty.

huh, neat. Scientists figured out a way to test for epigenetic changes to DNA folding to detect ME/CFS and believe they can use the same technique to develop a test for long covid as well https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/11/251102205021.htm
I would argue that thats all move fast and break things has gotten anybody anywhere. Look at all the big tech companies that subscribe to that philosophy. They are run by racists and fascists and all they are breaking is the social contract that kept us from active civil war.
Ten years ago, this condition was still regularly ridiculed and treated as a joke.
Five years ago, the idea of the condition being anything other than a dx of exclusion was not even considered.
Now we have a blood test for it.

#OldButGold - but still relevant with the New York last victory
Hey y'all, I started @AltAfterDark, inspired by the wonderful @alttexthalloffame! The goal is to encourage good alt-text on NSFW image posts, as well as showcase shining examples of spicy alt-text and accessible content.
Why? Because #AccessibilityIsHotAF, that's why.
What are our goals?
- Promote quality adult content that focuses on consent, community, and accessibility (great alt-text, proper CWs & hashtags) ❤️🔥
- Reduce the prevalence of porn-bot and repost accounts that post without subject consent, without alt-text or CWs, engage in hashtag spam, and lower the safety / enjoyment of folx on Fedi 🚫
- Engage positively with the community and generally be wholesome-ish 😉
How will we do it?
- With well-vetted human volunteers.
- By leading by example.
- With the help if the community.
What do we need?
- People to make nominations and submissions for content.
- More visibility.
- More contacts with varied NSFW tastes.
Come join us 😉

The World Bank’s latest data shows a quiet global triumph: 93% of people aged 15 to 24 can now read and write, up from 87% in 2000. In many regions, including East Asia, Latin America, and Central Europe, youth literacy has reached or neared universal levels, marking one of the most successful, least reported stories in development. https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SE.ADT.1524.LT.ZS?end=2024&start=2000&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email

"All of these candidates who won last night didn’t shy away from talking about gender equality and LGBTQ rights. They didn’t buy the theory that doing so would alienate young men. And they were right. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it, Mr. Carville."

“Judge orders White House to use American Sign Language interpreters at briefings”
https://www.npr.org/2025/11/05/nx-s1-5599118/white-house-asl-deaf-american-sign-language-judge-order
Sadly, does not include VP briefings. White House is supposed to update court on progress by end of week. Curious how it will jerk court around.
