This is amazing news. Leonard Peltier is now free!

I am hoping we can now retire the #FreeLeonardPeltier hashtag, and that Leonard can now enjoy his life with his family.

DEIAtruth@opm.gov is the new federal snitch line. It would suck if they got a few too many emails.

[#]Proton users will want to read this.

Proton CEO tweets support for Donald Trump's Department of Justice pick and the US Republican Party

Users discovered a December 2024 tweet from Andy Yen, the founder and CEO of Proton (formerly ProtonMail). The tweet voices support for the U.S. Republican Party and Gail Slater, Donald Trump's pick to lead the Department of Justice's antitrust division. Many subscribers became concerned by his statement considering Proton is a Swiss company that doesn't need to be involved in U.S. politics or associated with any political parties.

Previously, Protoon was going to incorporate #AI into some of their premium products.

Seems like they have lost their way and its time to find something more secure.

$20,000 reward for help catching the person or persons killing #endangered #grey wolves in #Washington State. Three are now dead. These animals need protection. The killings threaten the survival of this species. And it's a great way to pay off those student loans President Joe Biden couldn’t cancel.

Got info on the killers? WDFW wants to hear from you

Time is running out because Trump will likely eliminate these policies

Apparently, it costs $4.99/m, or Microsoft Edge users get it for free.

Maybe telling your parents and racist uncles to use Microsoft Edge isn't such a bad idea. Or surreptitiously install the Chrome plug-in for them next time you need to "fix" their computer.

[#]NewsGuard rates news sites’ credibility. The right wants it stopped.

NewsGuard, which prizes its nonpartisan criteria, has become a prime target of the GOP’s battle against disinformation watchdogs.

NewsGuard offers advertisers nonpartisan assessments of online publishers using a slate of nine standard criteria, such as whether a site corrects errors or discloses its ownership and financing, to produce a zero to 100 percent rating.

Long #Dadjokes #Dadjoke

The world's richest man is dying. He's made peace with that. But what bothers him is no one in the afterlife will even know it.

Here he's a self-made man who created this huge fortune from scratch, but he can't take it with him. Not that he could spend it, of course, but just to SHOW everyone what a great success the poor boy had become.

He broods over this so that his guardian angel is worried. One night the angel flies to Heaven to consult Jesus. Jesus says “Well, you know earthly wealth has no place here"

The angel replies “I know Lord, but he's been such a good man. Did a lot for charity, ran his business honestly. He's only human. He can't help having this little quirk. Isn't there something we can do to ease his mind?

Jesus thinks a moment. “”All right. Let's look him up in the Book of Life" The Book is like a film of this man's life and seeing his struggles, Jesus is moved.

He tells the guardian angel “Wake him and tell him I will allow him to bring one suitcase-only one,mind you. And he can fill it with whatever wealth he chooses. At the moment he of his death it will be brought to heaven with him.”

The angel goes down and gives the message. The guy is happy but what should he bring? Our money would mean nothing to people from another time, jewels could be faked, stocks and bonds could not be traded so they'd be so much paper. Finally it dawn's on him. Gold. Gold has been valued throughout history.

He sends out for the biggest suitcase he can find, fills it with gold bars, and sets it beside his bed. Now he can die in peace, and he does.

True to the promise he arrives at the Pearly Gates, suitcase in hand. St. Peter greets him warmly and says “All right. Let's see what was so important to you that eternal life and bliss wasn't enough."

The man proudly opens the suitcase, stuffed with row after row of little gold bars.

St. Peter stares at it, puzzled, and says “You brought pavement?”
