It appears that Meta was aware of Threads before launching its platform of the same name. Company lawyers made four offers to purchase the domain 'threads.app' from Threads Software Ltd from April 2023, all of which were declined. Meta announced Threads in July 2023, the same time that the British company says it was removed from Facebook.

Classic Facebook douchebaggery.

Our French compatriots are giving Spez the guillotine!

LOL

And Instagram. Their website won’t even load on iOS, it’s just a blank white screen.

You know what will always be safe to send people? Fediverse links! Our shit actually works and won’t scare people away.

Hey ChatGPT, write me a tone deaf, mealy mouthed, corporate doublespeak screed that completely ignores everything that’s happened for the last month. Be sure and add lots of bullshit about how we will now “listen to mods” and have useless meetings every month.

Former President Donald Trump's top White House trade adviser Peter Navarro was found guilty Thursday of two counts of criminal contempt of Congress for defying a subpoena from the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.

A jury in Washington, D.C., convicted the former Trump administration official following a trial that lasted just over a day. Navarro's defense team called no witnesses.

Sentencing is set for January, and Navarro faces a maximum of one year in prison and a fine of $100,000 for each count.

Good, now do all the others.

We’re delusional, we’re unfathomably poorly informed, and we’d like to be put back in charge of the United States.

Perfect summary.

The advertisement entices workers to make the jump, even for a short while, to its on-campus hotel, saying: “Just imagine no commute to the office in the morning and instead, you could have an extra hour of sleep and less friction,” CNBC reported.

Did these stupid motherfuckers read their own ad??

No commute and extra sleep? That sounds great!

No wonder everyone is trying to WFH - the very same reasons you just listed.

In a stunning, pre-trial win in New York attorney general's all-out war on the Trump Organization, a Manhattan judge has found that Donald Trump committed fraud for years by inflating his worth to banks and insurers by as much as $3.6 billion a year.

A strongly-worded ruling by state Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron rejected outright Trump's request for a range of pre-trial victories, calling his arguments "rehashed" and "erroneous."

Instead, the judge gave a major victory to Attorney General Letitia James, immediately revoking Trump's license to do business in New York.

"It's the corporate death penalty," said Diana Florence, a veteran financial crimes prosecutor for the Manhattan district attorney's office, now in private practice.

"This ruling essentially dissolves his company," she said, though she predicted that years of appeals may pass before anything actually happens.

Bye bye Trump org!

An Ohio law would require state transportation officials to build highway interchanges every 4.5 miles — even if they have to tear down homes and businesses to do it.

That’s crazy.

The targeted neighborhood homes primarily belong to retired persons, young families, or others on a fixed income.

Of course.

In March 2023, hours before the Ohio state governor signed the new House Bill 23, State Representative Tom Patton wrote new language in the transportation budget

And done in an underhanded way.

Remember, just a few years ago when the latestagecapitalism sub was created and everybody was like ha ha you lefties, and now every single big corporation is self immolating in 2023… good times!

Sanders in her first year on the job has an approval rating of 48% according to voters asked about her performance. This is the lowest in the last 20 years, but higher than U.S. Senators Tom Cotton (42%) and John Boozman (40%) as well as President Joe Biden (33%).

In his last year in office, former Governor Asa Hutchinson garnered a 59% approval rating and never had an approval rating lower than 57%.

And in their first year in office, the three previous governors had an approval rating of at least 57%, with Hutchinson at 57%, Gov. Mike Beebe at 70%, and Gov. Mike Huckabee at 66%.

The last time an Arkansas governor had a lower approval rating was in 2003 when Gov. Huckabee had 47% support. That would jump to 58% one year later.

Good job dummies. You got exactly what you voted for, another Huckabee flunky.

The article also says Biden had a 33% approval rating. JFC. GDP is up 5% and unemployment is like 3-4%.

Stop expecting perfection.

Nobody is perfect. MLK had affairs, the founding fathers owned slaves, Churchill was racist AF, etc.

She’s doing a great job now and we can educate her the same way we turned Obama from anti-gay marriage.

We should judge people OVERALL not on stuff like being anti-vax (which to be clear is dumb).
