His people and her people are different people for sure.

The Signal server would send a backend notification to the client app via the Apple Push Notification Service. The app is then able to wake up, at which point it fetches new messages (securely) from the Signal servers. The app then generates a local notification with a preview of the received message. iOS is then logging those messages.

He said it basically on several occasions now, all of which he backed down from. The guy is desperate. Iran has no incentive to deal with him.

Hope you did enough bottom wall layers. The big tray looks like it could be a bit flimsy.

This isn’t even a meme. It’s more like a quote citation with a picture. He really said this folks!

I have a coworker who I respect greatly because she is a nice person and she does great work. I have no reason not to like her and treat her as one of my best coworkers. We work in IT management for a large organization. She is educated, smart, coherent, and like I said, she is one of the best that I get to work with. I’m thankful for her.

But man is she brainwashed by Fox. We once got into a conversation on politics in 2024 and it became clear to me that she was voting for Trump. She thought Kamala couldn’t string a sentence together and that things had been better under Trump. We respectfully disagreed.

Politics came up again a couple of days ago. She offered that she was pissed that gas prices were so high. She offered that she felt betrayed, etc. I felt like it was progress in her opening up to the idea that Trump is a turd UNTIL she kept on with the What-About-ism with Kamala and then how both sides claim the other side cheated in elections, etc, yada yada. She has a Fox talking point for everything. So we drop it. Life goes on.

Trump’s supporters will give up a little in admitting that Trump is wrong in the Iran war because life has been made even more inconvenient and Trump has broken his campaign promises now time and time again, but it’s still a step too far for them to acknowledge that they couldn’t see this coming or that he really does smell like a turd despite it being so fucking obvious. I can agree that Kamala was going to be an another democratic establishment president, but at least she wouldn’t be terrorizing us all every day.

Our president is an evil dim-witted asshole.

He was elected by well-intentioned but equally dim-witted assholes.

What happens if the senate never confirms a new AG? Do we just get this dirtbag in perpetuity?

Hopefully it teaches the importance of the press and its use of primary sources to confirm our suspicions.

God bless the Democrats for not backing down as they have done in the past. This shows that Trump and the Republicans were happy to hold TSA workers and all of us who stood in unreasonable security lines as hostages until the Democrats finally decided to shoot the hostage. It wasn’t until that point that this situation was immediately resolved by Trump, which to me speaks volumes about his priorities.

Paul Blart is a fictional mall cop. Derek Chauvin was an actual cop who is now a convicted murderer for suffocating an unarmed and nonviolent black man on the streets of Minneapolis.

Another week, another round of empty threats. What a dumbass.

What a complete dumbass.

 

Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country is one of my favorite Trek films. It’s a great finale for the original crew and it’s both well done and also not at the same time (I could do a whole thread on the numerous continuity errors within the film, but I digress). One thing I’ve always wondered is why the galley in the Enterprise is so beat up in the scene where the senior crew debates the use of a phaser as part of the crime against the Klingon Chancellor.

So…. Why is the galley so beat up?
