Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge?
It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

The largest SNAP cuts in history went into effect this week, eliminating or drastically cutting food assistance for millions of Americans.
And it's all to pay for more tax cuts that primarily benefit the super-rich.
Trickle-down economics isn't just a haox - it's cruel.

oh wow, this is one of the best memes I've seen on here
#ALT4you a glitchy photo of a young Mark Zuckerburg and passenger in an SUV, Mark's grin has been stretched creepily open like a black maw, with the words get in loser, we're ripping apart the fabric of society with short-term dopamine-driven feedback loops"

Mark Zuckerberg has spent $110M to buy 11 houses in one Palo Alto neighborhood.
He's turning the homes into a compound.
That's on top of his 30 bedroom, 30 bathroom compound in Hawaii and another in Lake Tahoe.
I don't want to hear that billionaires can't afford a wealth tax.
