The rhyme "Liar Liar Pants On Fire” was inspired by the English Inquisition, where the pants of heretics were lit aflame. The same inquisition also spawned the phrase, “Thief Thief Impaled On A Barbed Spike,” which is less known because it does not rhyme.

Oh this is a common scam I find at work. Any file that:

isn't jpg, jpeg, pdf, or png

Is a file extension you don't recognise (this one is a visual basic file, used for scripting, but others like exe or bat are used)

has a very low or unexpected file size (this one's is less than 1KB, or 0.001MB, a good reference should be at least 500KB)

Is likely a scam. Stay safe kids.

i don't really want to weight in on the "using big words in your writing is ableist" discourse happening on tiktok because i'm like 90% certain it's an anti-intellectual psyop to stir up drama in online circles to promote the use of ai to summarize literally everything and thus feeding the LLMs and lowering the populace's mistrust of such tools but i also have to say: dictionaries and thesauruses are the most accessible they've ever been. if you use an e-reader of any kind you can look up a word without leaving the page. there's a plethora of online dictionaries and if you just type a word + "meaning" into google it'll usually give you a definition. we used to have pocket dictionaries we used when reading in class. i have two on my shelf right now that i used in high school. stop letting the fascists purposefully misuse anti-ableism rhetoric to trick you into never thinking again.

"if i had a time machine i would go back in time and kill hitler"

I would put sea mines around medieval britain. i would give hannibal barca ww2 era heavy artillery and tell him not to stop till he starts seeing gauls. i would give boudica a fucking abrams. i would appear before jesus like an angel and tell him "you gotta stop. not cause theyll kill you, youre fine with that, surprisingly, but because your fanclub is gonna spend about 1500 years making everything worse for everyone, everywhere." I would take a glock back in time and shoot romulus, shoot remus, and shoot that damn dog too just to be safe. i would be on the side of christopher columbus' ship in a scuba suit planting c4 on that bitch like rainbow six siege. i would be waging a one woman campaign of terror across andalusia to prevent the reconquista. i would be getting way out in front of that shit is what im saying,

My kids once expressed a plan to me that involved a time machine, Andrew Jackson, and a hickory walking stick containing a bomb. What it lacked in practicality, it made up for in understanding the history lesson I had just given them (having at that point thrown the school's weak-ass mid-lockdown lesson plan across the room and engaged in a furious rant about the real stuff). The more you look at history, the more you start thinking you're gonna need a bigger time machine.

I love it when there's artists online who seem to exclusively draw characters who are cute thick anime ladies with hips wider than their shoulders and tits bigger than their heads, in completely nonsexual situations, and comfortable and stylish-looking fairly nonsexualised clothing, where it's clear that the artist evidently started drawing because they were horny, and kept drawing because it's fun. Like sure, an outfit of a nice floral pattern sun dress and cozy sweater didn't need a cleavage window, but the focus of this drawing is so clearly on who this character is and what she's doing, that unless you go out of your way to look for it, you don't really even notice that her tits are literally larger than her head.

the opposite is Frank Frazetta, who painted muscular hot people almost naked in situations that dont typically call for near nudity, like outer space and snow and combat.

Hey, did y'all see this?

I saw this when running newpipe. But wait, it gets deeper. I clicked on the details buttons and it said as of today, we have 83 days left until Google rolls out this new requirement for apps inside and outside of the google play store. If any developer disagrees with their new terms and fees, they will be blocked!

I'll share some of the info below:

Looks like they're trying to nuke the remaining privacy and freedoms we have left on the internet.

What to do?

-Get your developer friends to not comply to their new guides

- Sign the open letter on the site and take action by checking out the full resources list on their website as well!

To summarize, this is all daunting especially when you feel all alone with unfair and inhumane regulations comming out faster than improvements but we got this working together!

Share the link with your friends, family and anyone who will listen!

Your phone is about to stop being yours. In September 2026, Google will block every Android app whose developer hasn't registered with them.

If you're in the US, I created a petition to make it easier to contact senators and congressmen.

Join 1 people. Google is trying to make people hand over government id in order to make an Android app. If they don't, then that app can't b

If you're not in the US, see if your country is listed here for whom to contact.

WHAT YOU CAN DO:

Link to Keep Android Open.

Link to Install F-Droid.

Link to contact international regulators.

Link to the change.org petition; they have 1,82,263 signatures as of posting this, add yours to the list, I have already added mine.

Link to their open letter, which has signatories of 71 organizations from 23 countries.

Link to the page of their project you can edit, should you have any useful information.

Link to Google's Developer verification survey, for all the good it'll do, it's still worth a shot.

Link to Keep Android Open Wiki.

Link to the Consumer Rights Wiki.

I have seen people in the comments mentioning about how this won't work, and all I have to say to that is do not borrow grief from the future, if you're going to claim defeat just when the battle has started, it's not much of a battle than it is being a bystander. When outcomes have not yet existed physically, anything goes, I read this advice post whenever I'm in need of motivation, and it might be out of place, but I think you should, too. Good advice is when you can apply it to anything, and I think this counts, whatever motives you, goes.

If you're wondering what's the harm or what's the big deal and isn't this just - I'm going to stop you right there, please, keepandroidopen has covered all their bases on that as well.

You've never written a regulator email before? Don't worry, neither have I, but it should be no different from any other email. Just be polite and specific and to the point, and you should be good.

Dear [Title],

I am writing to you as a concerned citizen and technology user to respectfully raise an issue I believe warrants regulatory attention, which is the preservation of the openess of the Android operating system.

This is ncreasing friction around sideloading through repeated warnings and permission barriers that discourage users from exercising their legal right to install software of their choosing.

Pre-installed applications and services that are difficult or impossible for users to remove, effectively tying users to specific service providers without meaningful consent.

API and Play Services dependencies that make it technically challenging for alternative app ecosystems or forked Android distributions to function competitively.

This, if left unaddressed, is a risk that consolidates control that reduces consumer autonomy, concerns that I understand fall squarely within your mandate.

I respectfully urge your office to ensure that core Android APIs remain available to competing ecosystems on fair and non-discriminatory terms and help safeguard consumer autonomy.

I would like to kindly request a written acknowledgement of the complaint. Thank you for your time and for the important work your office does.

Yours Sincerly,

[Your Name]

If you know your history, you know that change has only ever been brought about by people making change. By people standing up for what they believe and know is right. History has taught you that battles are bloody, and in that, you forget that battles are also won.

You forget that every right you hold today was a fight someone else started. And here we are again, the battlefield looks different, but the battle is the same. An open platform is not a technical preference and it should not belong to a single company's interest. The moment we accept that a corporation decides what software you can run on a device you paid for, we have accepted something our ancestors would have recognised immediately as control.

They fought kings for less - and you know this, alright? I know you do. History is not some abstract, vague concept. History is not just meant to be in just be read in your history books. History is not made of people who waited, history is full of hope and spite and stubborness and life, and you are part of history, and you are alive.

Remember that.
