Yes. It was their principles that were the issue; not that it was completely out of the scope of their power.

I don’t even know what else to add to this headline

it will in no way slow the resistance.

Yeah you do. You nailed it

So happy to hear this. I thought maybe I was just ancient…

I don’t think I’ve ever done this either, but I have to imagine (based on having left chapstick in a hot car) that it will melt and get all over your clothes in the dryer. If it melts and solidifies on your clothes it would be hard to get out without using a very hot wash cycle and it would probably leave grease-like stains even if you did get it out.

So, what’s the distinction? They changed the name, but not through the formal process of signing documents?

It was named by Congress and can only be renamed by Congress. Trump signed an EO but EOs only control employees of the Executive Branch.

I’m having trouble understanding what steps they need to take before I can rightfully be offended, and I don’t know enough about how something like a building or institution is legally or illegally named.

The EO thing is whatever. He can do whatever he wants there and no one really has any control over it. For me the line is when he physically had his name put on the building. He hired someone (with whose money?) and defaced a building that wasn’t his. Basically no different than if he put “The Trump MojoMcJojo House” on your house without your permission.

They didn’t change the name legally. They just changed the name on the building and what everyone in the executive branch and on the board calls it.

I don’t know if they were paid for by AIPAC but I was shocked to see advertisements for the genocide on YouTube 🤮

Alex Jones is on Blue Sky?

There’s been a surge in popularity on TikTok of Gen Z users who share their tricks for emulating the coffee shop experience on a budget, from making cold brew in their refrigerators to bulk-buying plastic cups for iced lattes.

wut? Why?

So the U.S. military will start killing Americans opposed to fascism (aka anti-fascists; aka the designated terrorist organization Antifa).

Like we didn’t all see this coming…
And yet I’m still surprised it’s arrived.

Yeah - this really confused me. Why did they make a second update on the 14th when the first update said they’d hear back on the 15th?

Their first party account is an interesting read and available on their blog here:

The post was updated yesterday with the following:

Update 14 December 2025: Someone from Executive Relations at Apple says they’re looking into it. I hope this is true. They say they’ll call me back tomorrow, on 15 December 2025. In the mean time, it’s been covered by Daring Fireball, Apple Insider, Michael Tsai, and others, thanks folks! I’ve received 100s of emails of support, and will reply to you all in time, thank you. Finger’s crossed Apple calls back.

I don’t think that’s the main reason folks are concerned about having their government IDs stolen.
