The comparison to a Nazi flag is absurd. A better comparison would be if an agent had a straight price flag on their desk. And no, the agent would not have lost their job under this regime for such a display.

So the hope is that things are bad enough that voters finally learn their lesson but not bad enough that their votes don’t matter…

More like food is expensive as hell and so I can’t really afford to loose my pay check. Which is why organizing often starts as mutual aide.

Rumor has it he has a Grindr account

I mean there are so many options to write ironic things on bullet casings for a man like that. Second brain worm, the final jab, the cure, the list just goes on…

Laws don’t bind the in-group

Religion is open to interpretation just like art. If someone interprets art and feels empowered to be a shitty person then they or the art is wrong. I don’t have to “believe” anything particular about the art to arrive at that conclusion, the same is true for religion.

They’ve helpfully characterized “the five principal forces of antiscience “ into alliterative groups: (1) plutocrats and their political action committees, (2) petrostates and their politicians and polluters, (3) fake and venal professionals—physicians and professors, (4) propagandists, especially those with podcasts, and (5) the press. The general tactic is that (1) and (2) hire (3) to generate deceitful and inflammatory talking points, which are then disseminated by all-too-willing members of (4) and (5).

They’re so incompetent but also incredibly lucky.

Because the conservative justices have signaled that precedence doesn’t matter if they don’t want it to. Maybe other judges need to follow suit to make a point…

About as much as I love having 9 people appointed for life that can overrule that voting system in case it does actually let the majority win.

They only anticipated white land lords voting. But then again, that’s exactly who voted for this.

Why expect consistency from the courts starting now or in the future?

I’m hoping it’s Global Hegemony.

It’s a shrewd move as the global south will be feeling the worst effects of climate change and China is the only country that’s offering infrastructure based on renewables at scale.

What I like about her campaign is the fundraising spends the money on things that matter to people: mutual aide. Many of us saw recording breaking fundraising followed by a loss and asked, what if we spent that money on things we wouldn’t regret? And Kat answered.

Not $200 but ended up buying a xerox phaser. When looking at cost per page it is one of the cheapest though.

Maybe I’m weird but I don’t like getting a scanner combo. Scanners break more easily than printers and after my Brother all-in-one had a busted scanner I’ve been going for portable scanners that run off USB power from the laptop. Canon lide has been a solid scanner for me.

He will condone the bad in order to prevent the worse and in so doing no longer discern that the very thing that he seems to avoid as worse might well be better. This is where the basic material of tragedy is to be found.

They ask more of people’s ignorance than they do of their virtue.

The same pressures that made internet search suck applies to AI doing search as well.
