Imagine how much this software would cost now.
Zohran Mamdani won the democratic nomination & centrist Dems endorsed Cuomo anyway.
Angie Nixon won the democratic nomination & centrist Dems are saying they would’ve spent millions on Vindman, but won’t on her.
Abdul El Sayed won the democratic nomination & centrist Dems are refusing to endorse and threatening to leave the party.
The anti-Black, anti-Arab, & anti-Muslim hate from the centrist “vote blue no matter who” Dems rivals that of MAGA fascists. We need to call it out for what it is.
This was fun! I am all four. I have picked up colleagues, especially those from out of town who are on their first visit to Montreal.
This poll was inspired by waiting for my daughter at the Montreal Airport while her luggage was being misplaced.

Dieser Toot, 💯. Ich habe hier in den letzten Jahren im deutschsprachigen Fediverse genau zugehört, habe jedes freilaufende Gespräch über Bibliotheken und Archive aufgegriffen und verfolgt. Wer mich persönlich kennt, weiß, dass ich ein sonniges Gemüt bin. Aber eines sage ich euch: was Bibliotheken und Archive angeht sind wir längst auf verlorenem Posten. Ja ich weiß, wir sind die am stärksten besuchten Kultureinrichtungen des Landes, stimmt. 1/2
@ChrisChris Thanks for the heads up!
@farah@beige.party @farah anytime - hope it saves you the plot twist.
My wife and I are both retired. To us, every day is #Caturday!
Mostly because of these goofballs.
@FrankauLux the current trend is a little different: https://it-notes.dragas.net/2026/03/20/enshittifaication/
Both your narrative @stefano, and the #Enshittification narrative, fit the awful behaviour we're seeing.
@pluralistic (of “enshittification” fame) also describes why it's always been a force at play, as you describe; and also why it's taking hold especially now:
Corporations like these always have people, in pursuit of profit, trying to yank on the enshittification lever all day long.
Previously, regulation and other consequences held those people in check. Today, it doesn't.
Whee another surprise ! reorganization at work; only remaining technically-minded manager has taken a position elsewhere in the company — as an IC
I'm scrambling to take advantage of this crisis to try to inject some sanity to our operations and governance

“Because every inch counted in a Pullman [dining car] kitchen, storage space was critical. It was no surprise that Pullman was delighted by the shape of a loaf of Pain de mie bread. It is a sturdy symmetrical four-square loaf. To accomplish this physically constrained, tanned brick of delight, eighteenth century Boulangers placed the risen dough in a rectangular metal box fitted with a sliding lid for its second rise. The dough could only grow to the dimensions of its box and therefore produced an even, slightly dense interior. It was bread perfection — at least, geometric perfection. Other, unrestrained, loaves of bread when baked freely rose in the pan into a happy domed top. Not only was the flat-topped, pain de mie stackable, to Pullman’s delight, four could be stored in the same space as three precarious round topped loaves.”

Good news: the cyborg cockroach's syringes will be loaded with euthanasia drugs funded by the Elon Musk commemorative "fuck the poor, compassion is a lie" trust!
That's the only way I can think of to make this scenario more nightmarish.

Haha oh my god the right westbound lane has basically -- for my entire life -- been perennially rutted between Bel-Air Road and Copa de Oro.
There's also always a really gnarly pothole further west right after you pass Veteran -- that's the one that once flattened one of my tires.

One of the first things I did when moving here, trying to find a bike route to work, was conclude that stretch of road was a forsaken wasteland, incredible potholes
