Trump posted a photo of Abrego Garcia’s hand with an MS-13 knuckle tattoo. Internet sleuths say it’s photoshopped
  • Trump's own words indicated that he thought the MS13 tattoos were on the knuckles, which is where the Arial font characters are. So either Trump doesn't know what a knuckle is, or he was speaking imprecisely, or he's a fucking moron, or all of the above.

    In any case, as someone pointed out above, it's unlikely MS13 would be working with acronyms in English for their tattoos, especially acronyms in English that only 50% work because Marijuana Smiley Cross Skull says MSCS, not MS13.

  • MAGA goes into full meltdown mode over SCOTUS ruling on deportations
  • The decision has cast the country’s entire legal system as Thanos in the eyes of Trump officials and associated mouthpieces—against whom they have assembled to avenge this perceived national betrayal.

    For most people, having the entire legal system as your opponent might give you pause, and an "are we the bad guys?" moment. Not so for Trump cultists.

  • A unique sound alleviates motion sickness
  • The article keeps talking about this special sound like it's something obscure and hard to create. But the title of the actual article suggests it's just a 100Hz sine wave played for 1 minute.

    I might try it, and see if I become able to play 3D video games again.

    Labour MPs urge Starmer to ‘get out there’ with Trump-style media strategy
  • One minister said: “Trump and [the vice-president] JD Vance have shown the advantage of getting out there and not worrying about making mistakes.

    Yeah, they have a whole cult behind them that will interpret their every idiotic blunder as an inspired move. Starmer, not so much.

  • Why do you use the distro you use?
  • OpenSUSE Tumbleweed because it's very up to date yet reliable, package management doesn't require me to get my head around anything complicated, automatic btrfs snapshots allow me to rollback if I mess anything up, and I like KDE Plasma and the YaST utilities.
