People have rightly said that their executives are overpaid. However it's unclear what revenue streams they have. In terms of user services they sell a VPN. I think that's about it. That's not going to cut it even if they do lay off tons of people.

Browsers are complicated pieces of software and there needs to be a lot of money behind them if they're going to succeed.

I'm new to it, but I'm really enjoying libredirect so far.

Everyone should listen to Aldi-brand Bill Maher.

It took me awhile to like Katy Perry's older stuff. This coming from a guy who likes Indie/Punk/New Wave. I haven't listened to her newer stuff.

Oh and same with Billie Eilish.

That's absolutely true, especially for a paper like the LA Times. I am dubious that there is any appreciable effect when it comes to random blogs and so forth.

In California, it doesn't matter because the results are already known. In other states the calculus is a bit different.

Voting for a minor party in terms of the effect on the outcome is approximately equivalent to not voting.

first past the post voting is a broken system and that main party candidates should make more effort to fix this glaring hole in the voting system.

The Democratic Party would rather lose to the Republican Party than change the rules to allow for a multi-party system.

That aside, the major parties don't want to reform the system they have because it's worked very well for them. Our parties are incredibly old by world standards. The Democrats have been around since the 18th century, and the Republicans have been around since the 1850s.

There was a guy who was in tech support who talked to a customer about who was hot or not in the company. It was actually the customer who started the conversation, but the rep ran with it and used all kinds of unprofessional and disparaging language when describing his female co-workers.

That call happened to have a supervisor listening in, so he was fired immediately after he got off the call. The thing is found out who called in, and the women on the team had to assist him when he called for support.

Mudvayne, perhaps. I haven't been involved in that scene for a long time, but it's what comes to mind.

 

Not the Onion, but still great satire.

 

Ohio actually has a law that says if you legally change your name within the last 5 years, it has to be on the petition. In the article it mentions that there is no place for a previous name (dead name in this instance) on the petition, and the Secretary of State’s candidate guide doesn’t mention this requirement at all.

Apparently other trans candidates had their petitions accepted with no problem.

Looks like the Senate bill has gotten better. There is some good and some bad. They're cutting back on home grow and max potency for extracts. They're expunging all convictions on possession of 2.5oz or less, and I think most importantly, allowing people to buy from medical dispensaries for recreational use. Right now, it's legal to possess, but illegal to sell. This should fix that loophole.
