  • There was a traffic stop a month or so ago where the city police were called by BP for assistance and they actually assisted them in kidnapping people. The mayor is pissed and says that can’t happen due to our sanctuary city status (since 1986) and now the federal government is suing us. We have a HUGE population of immigrants from all over the world here as refugees and to attend our two universities and this is going to get ugly.

    The head of C&BP is coming to my city this week because of all this. Something tells me ICE is going to be crawling all over this city the whole week and longer. BP already crawls all over the city because we’re on the northern border.

    I live in a HUD building. I see ICE searches without warning in my near future because of how many immigrants are here. My cane might be useful for more than just balancing me while walking.

    Musk. HEAR ME OUT……

    Spoiler

    The tacos are the logical choice here, obviously. But if I save the rich fuck then he owes me big time. I want 5 billion dollars, the rest he gives to immigration and housing charities. Then he gets deported back to Africa in the middle of the Sahara desert with only the clothes on his back, a bag of peanuts, and a bottle of Gatorade (c’mon I’m not heartless enough for him to starve or die of thirst….immediately).





  • His time at DOGE may “drop significantly,” but in the same call he made it clear he intends to continue his political work until (at least) 2029. “I’ll have to continue doing it for, I think, probably the remainder of the president’s term, just to make sure that the waste and fraud that we stop does not come roaring back, which will do if it has the chance,” he said, adding he still plans to spend “a day or two a week” at the quasi agency.

    He’s just not going to be in the spotlight, but he will absolutely still control Trump and DOGE on a daily basis





  • Which makes the debt ceiling fight that’s coming up even more interesting. (article from March 24th)

    The U.S. is most likely to default on its $36 trillion national debt sometime between mid-July and early October if Congress doesn’t act, the Bipartisan Policy Center predicted Monday.

    Debt limit forecasters are expected to release a narrower X-date prediction after most tax receipts have landed at the IRS in April. While it’s “quite unlikely,” there is still a possibility that the U.S. could run out of borrowing power in early June if that gush of tax revenue comes in far below projections, the Bipartisan Policy Center cautioned.

    The cost-cutting efforts of the Department of Government Efficiency effort headed by Elon Musk could also affect cash flow enough to change the X-date prediction, along with the strength of the economy, tariffs and any new spending or cuts Congress approves, the center said.

    Given how DOGE is inflating it’s cost cutting savings by over $140 Billion, the tariff trade war, and congress’ habit of pushing things to the brink when their luck is going to run out sooner or later – this could get ugly quick.


  • Correct, from the Asahi Linux website:

    Is this a Linux distribution?

    Asahi Linux is an overall project to develop support for these Macs. The majority of the work resides in hardware support, drivers, and tools, and it will be upstreamed to the relevant projects. Our flagship distro is Fedora Asahi Remix, which is a collaboration between Asahi Linux and the Fedora Project, and serves as both a polished end-user distribution and a reference for other distributions who wish to incorporate our work.

    Other distributions are already working on implementing support for these platforms, and we expect to have more options officially available in the future. Check out our Alternative Distros page for a list of ongoing distro integration projects.

    I only know this because I’ve been seriously looking into running Linux on my M2 MacBook Air and trying to peel myself out of the Apple ecosystem but found there isn’t many options right now where everything works – especially TouchID. I’m not new to Linux, I just needed dependability and stability that I always seemed to mess up in my Linux days in the late 2000’s/early 2010’s and got sick of Windows.
