I’m old enough to understand the context.

Russia support is definitely on the conservative/MAGA side.

I grow weary of living in interesting times.

That didn’t happen.

And if it did, it wasn’t that bad.

And if it was, that’s not a big deal.

And if it is, that’s not my fault.

And if it was, I didn’t mean it.

And if I did, you deserved it.

It’s always the ones you’d most suspect.

Yes.

Android apps are sandboxed

FWIW, they’re not sandboxed from google play services:

The Play Store Services process has access to your precise location at all times, the motion sensors, networks, hardware identifiers (including IMEI), contacts, passwords, the entire storage space, call logs, access to other apps’ data, and more.

Accordingly, google would have access to the Signal data on your phone. However, I don’t know whether the encryption would provide a measure of protection against google. GrapheneOS by default does not use google play services, and provides a sandboxed version for people who need the functionality.

To be fair, he has followed through on his promise to be a “dictator on day 1”.

Yeah, not all of them can see it. I know someone in their late 60s, Hispanic, collecting social security and on medicare, and they’re still consuming right wing propaganda. Until consequences actually happen to them or someone they love, many will continue to see what they wish to be true. It’s really disheartening.

The transportation secretary, Sean Duffy, has warned that flight reductions could reach 20% if the shutdown persists, and on Sunday he predicted a “substantial” number of people in the US would be unable to celebrate the upcoming holidays with their families if the shutdown wasn’t resolved.

Trump administration dysfunction on full display for this holiday season.

But he may have heard it breathing hard.

As an attorney, my recollection is that lying under oath is perjury, but what do I know?

It’s sucking his eyeball out.

He’s inviting belly rubs (or setting a trap).

It’s good to see that the opposition party is finally doing some opposing and clearly recognizing that the other side isn’t acting in good faith and will never act in good faith. The government shut down harms everyone, but it is tough medicine that is necessary to avoid the constant steamrollering that has happened again and again in the past. Sometimes you have to stand up and fight, even if it means taking a few bruises.

“If the wrapper is still fit, you must acquit!”

Wait, the woman in the picture is only 36!?! She looks like a 50 year old trying to recapture her glory days with botched plastic surgery. She has serious Mar-a-Lago Face.

He is very inauthentic, and his political views are heavily influenced by popularity. He’s definitely a political animal. That can be good in some ways, but but in this era, where the opposition has moved so far to the right, governing from the center moves the Overton Window to the right. He’ll probably win the democratic nomination, but I’d rather see someone with more authenticity that stands for something, rather than someone who moves so much with the political winds.

Must have been the stench.

Not to mention that knobbies wear out quickly on the street. I run Kenda Alphabites, a “dual sport” tire, on bikes that I also ride off road, and have street tires on my main grocery getter.
