lol, I wanted a battery replacement for my iPhone at a premium reseller. They told me they need to wipe the phone. But I can’t because stolen device protection is on. Of course no one instructed me to get ready for that. The system has a big flaw 😵‍💫 #apple #iphone #stupid

LMAO, they basically "invented" arroz con picadillo (rice with ground beef). 😄

Oh good grief, I was going to say more but I am still laughing. . . 😆

Helen Duncan was the last person to be imprisoned under the Witchcraft Act of 1735. A "psychic," she held a seance in 1941 and revealed the sinking of the HMS Barham, which was classified and only known to the Navy and the sailors' families. She actually heard it from an intelligence leak, and her "vision" was inaccurate on many key details (like the design of the sailors' uniforms). The Navy investigated the leak, which led to her trial for witchcraft and fraud. She was sentenced to nine months in prison.

> Condescending and Harmful: Australia’s Social Media Ban https://www.counterpunch.org/2026/02/26/condescending-and-harmful-australias-social-media-ban/

The headline sums it up. As I said when news of this first broke, the kids will just find ways around it anyhow.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@eff/115969460976989263

Outrageous & stupid: “Had the Trump administration not ham-handedly released the retouched perp-walk photo after Noem had released the original, we might not have known the reality of that arrest at all. This dishonesty is all the more reason why Americans’ right to record law enforcement activities must be protected. Without independent records and documentation of what’s happening, there’s no way to contradict the government’s lies.

“This incident raises the question of whether the Trump Administration feels emboldened to manipulate other photos for other propaganda purposes. Does it rework photos of the President to make him appear healthier, or more awake? Does it rework military or intelligence images to create pretexts for war? Does it rework photos of American citizens protesting or safeguarding their neighbors to justify a military deployment?” “

Manipulated to look more awake!! Ha ha ha. 🤣 Of course the Thump Administration manipulates: others, other stuff, other images, other narratives… They lie. All the time. The question is what else to do about it. (The article is a good start.)
