A lawsuit against JP Morgan-Chase -- the nation's largest bank -- asserts that the institution paid off the $4,200,000,000 in mortgage forgiveness that it agreed to as a settlement for widescale mortgage and foreclosure fraud by committing a lot more mortgage fraud, in which homeowners, ethical lenders, and American cities were stuck with the bill.

US Pol, an ask for some armchair activism 

hey folks if you got a moment and are comfortable doing so join me in filling in some info to tell Starbucks not to sponsor a Betsy DeVos fundraiser - they can't court billionaires who are homophobic and transphobic and also claim to host a safe space for LGBT+ folks

yep, that's definitely Scruffy--zie came back and was trotting around the field while being scolded by crows. yay Scruffy!

So, given that the NSA exists, and can be considered to have hypervisor root to all US clouds, and that some extremely *motivated* forces on the US far right with access to the White House would love to have the NSA's capability (as yet they don't - but I expect eventually they'll get that)...

... the world is in the position of actual Nazis and just plain ruthless people having at least read access to *all* corporate clouds.

Expect this. Understand it. Imagine what it means.

Please.

glanced out the window in time to see Scruffy* trotting rapidly across the field. zie's from the old pack, so I'm hopeful that means the rest of the pack is still around somewhere.

* it might have been a different coyote--with the same messed-up tail, grey markings like a husky, and general overall scruffiness--but it seems more likely it's the same Scruffy.

so I found reddit.com/r/surrealmemes for the first time and I remembered a conversation with @green from a few weeks ago and I couldn't stop myself awoo.space/media/1s_y54-ZuDNr_

oh also I saw Blade Runner 2043 (whatever the year is) yesterday, and it's good. engaging, visually stunning; the sound effects and soundtrack are *fabulous* and really lend a lot to create the atmosphere. I had no idea what to expect from the plot other than "it's thirty years later and Harrison Ford is in it at some point," and I enjoyed seeing the story unfold.

@noelle it's annoying as hell, and if it goes on too long it can get painful, but the "spoonful of sugar" trick fixes it (though it may take a couple of tries). but at least I don't pass out! much, much empathy. *fistbump*

@noelle oh yikes, that sounds really upsetting and unpleasant. D: helps me put my recurring bouts of violent hiccups in perspective. :(

Spouse & I went to the aquarium today. it was a very fun excursion, we looked at lots of feesh and other marine stuff.
