If you can’t keep your subcontrators from having P2P music-sharing software on their PCs which are on our network, how can we trust you with our HR data?

That’s what we’re asking the primary contractor we have on our HR project.

The GOP won't cut Medicare and Social Security...

... but other programs are on the chopping block.
... but qualifications will be made stricter.
... but they won't be increased, either.
... until #Donald decides they should.

I saw someone make a reference to this, and #Greenland, and, especially, the whole #GulfOfMexico / #GulfOfAmerica thing, calling it "Performative Imperialism": #Trump gets most of what he wants (donations, accolades) through sheer bullying bluster or acts that cost him nothing.

#Trump 's spitballing about #Canada is just that: random bloviating that (a) irritates his opponents, (b) excites his knee-jerk supporters, (c) costs him nothing, (d) lets him bully people, and (e) holds the prospect of, should some infernal twist of fate cause it to happen, making him famous for something other than his criminal record.

There's also probably some hidden way it makes him money, too. Like selling signed USA+Canada maps to the yokels for US$ 250 a pop.

Californians who were trying to follow up on an Amber Alert issued by the CHP were blocked when it turned out the CHP alert linked to the agency's #Xitter account for full details, and to see the alert people would need to sign into Xitter.

Completely predictable, if infuriating. Public agencies depending on #ElonMusk 's Xitter platform are doing the public a disservice.

TIL The name "Dante" (as in the guy who wrote "Inferno" etc.) is short for "Durante," meaning "enduring", "lasting," or "durable."

A low-key New Years Eve this year at our house -- fewer people over than usual, and a lot of fatigue and low spirits, not to mention an utter lack of good expectations for 2025.

Hoping the reality turns out less dire than the fear.

"'GO TO HELL!' #Trump tells inmates with commuted sentences in #Christmas Day post"

Weird.

Also dishonest.

And very much un-Christmas. But, then, #MAGA is post-Christian.

#Trump makes it clear that SCOTUS should bow to his will... even before he's inaugurated.

"President Trump alone possesses the consummate deal-making expertise, the electoral mandate and the political will to negotiate a resolution"

Pretty sure none of those are mentioned in the Constitution as reasons for the Supreme Court to change their rulings.

One thing you can count on: #Trump loves (legally) killing people.

#ElonMusk's notion of winning friends and influencing people is threatening them if they don't toe #Trump' s line... or his.

One reason I love my wife is that she puts up with me saying "Hey, we've been watching a lot of 'Murder, She Wrote' reruns lately, let's do a William Windom tribute night of ST TOS 'The Doomsday Machine' and this show you've never heard of called 'My World and Welcome To It' " and then actually doing it.

So #Trump 's arguments that the NY state hush-money case (that he's already been convicted in) should be tossed are:

1. Joe pardoned Hunter! So Donald gets a free political persecution Get-out-of-jail card, too!

2. Donald's going to be President! He's too busy to face penalties! L'etat c'est moi!

3. Federal law enforcement won't act against the President, so nobody else should, either!

I have to say, #ElonMusk buying Hasbro would be what would be needed to get me to change out from #DnD. Sort of like it was enough for me to quit #Twitter.
