Conservatism is the minority in America, and rarely wins through above average voter turnout, which is why they do everything in their power to gerrymander and disenfranchise voters.

Nah they don’t. I uploaded the exact same pic to a bunch of different work profiles (slack, google, microsoft). I inspected them out of curiosity and they were all different sizes and resolutions.
He was imprisoned for being a potentially dangerous moron. If he had the thing in a bag he would not be imprisoned for it, if it were found after a truly random search.
If there are any legitimate future historians, all 20th/21st C conflicts will be viewed as a game of thrones between oligarchs, their cronies, and their religions — no different to the monarchs that came before.
Our entire justice system, and all International law, is written by those who control capital, and they are free to break and rewrite is as they see fit. There is nothing stopping them from condemning genocide while committing genocide, nor from telling you that their genocide is actually the epitome of freedom™️ and justice™️. Our “democracies” will be viewed as Capitalist oligarchies that are, functionally, dictatorships — you can vote, but there is a statistical certainty that almost every choice on the ballot is determined by political “donations” (e.g. those who hold the most capital), and anyone who doesn’t maintain the status quo is weeded out before they become a significant threat.
Don’t worry. In the next 5-10 years crop yields will start to collapse, and double digit inflation will become the norm 👍
The greed will continue until ecological collapse.
The working class has been crushed by neoliberalism for 50+ years and there’s still no justice in site. The oligarchs that control “democracy” know there’s a high chance they’ll remain insulated from all the suffering they cause. They are so confident in this their goal now is to remove the illusion of democracy.
Yeah. Unchecked Capitalism will do that.
Your daily reminder that we all live in capitalist oligarchies masquerading as democracies.
Never seen a goober-flange before?
Reolink and one other I can’t remember seem to be the most consistently recommended hardware (actual security companies rather than cheap Chinese hardware rebranded by hundreds of drop shipping start ups). They only need internet access for the initial activation, and can be connected to home assistant or ftp server. I created an account with an alias email, then blocked its internet access from the router. It works fine on LAN and via tailscale.

NOTE: these wifi cams are not a “security” system. They’re for basic monitoring and scaring your cat.
The key point of Chevron was that laws like these are policy decisions, and those policy decisions should be made by the political branches responsive to the voters, Congress and the president, not by unaccountable judges with no constituents. … (in 1984) The Supreme Court ruled in favor of Chevron, allowing the Ronald Reagan admins industry-friendly EPA to stick with a lax interpretation of the Clean Air Act.
So the 1984 ruling, and now the overturn, are efforts by a corrupt conservative-stacked court to benefit the conservative political and ideological agenda. I always believed that Americans would never do anything about an illegitimate court dismantling democracy and the rule of law, but it’s still just as comically dystopian to watch it happen in real time.
You don’t even know my political views
The fact you’re so low IQ you think clarifying you’re pro-authoritarian is even necessary… Straight perfection! You embody the weak, scared, conservative simp who yearns to be ruled by a king to feel safe and secure.
Custom domains mean that if the alias provider enshittifies, you can switch to any other provider near-instantly. As long as you never use the domains to host illegal or dodgy shit it’s extremely unlikely you’ll ever lose them — far less likely than losing a gmail or whatever.
With SL you can avoid spam by using the “beta” (been beta for 3+ years lol) “auto create” option instead of a catch-all, meaning that you can direct emails to different inboxes (or do nothing) based on specific regex strings you control — up to 100 of them. I had a catch-all regex (.*
) as my # 100 and it took 2 years to receive catch-all fishing spam. Then I removed it and now have only random strings (e.g. .*fgyu.*
) so new emails must have them if they want to get somewhere. Everything else bounces. All previous emails continue to work until you disable them individually.
I use a mix:
The majority don’t learn that the only reason we have a weekend, 38 hour work week, maternity leave, sick leave, annual leave, severance, OHS, etc etc is because workers fought, and died, for all of them.
The state and corporations worked together to crush labor movements, using both the police and military, right up until they were passed into law. Apple won’t do shit about this unless it impacts image/profitability.
Any evidence Wikileaks withheld info about the right? They release info that’s leaked to them. If Russia used Wikileaks to further their own agenda, that’s not a Wikileaks problem (as long as the information is accurate).
Notice how you’re angry at the people who released the info instead of the people who were corrupt and deplorable? PsyOps mission accomplished!
My understanding is that, while it’s likely the source of those leaks was Russia, it’s never been proven wikileaks withheld info about Republicans. I’ve seen the claims dozens of times, but never the evidence, so please share if you do… Otherwise, it’s insane to hate a journalist for withholding information they don’t have, just because it hurts your preferred political party.
Isn’t it great that a man who exposed governmental corruption and war crimes faced a harsher persecution and punishment than the corrupt governments and war criminals themselves?
Democracy™️
Every time I’ve joined a large group chat, I’ve always wished there were hundreds more people talking over the top of each other to make the whole communication thing more efficient!
The color choices are infuriating. How has nobody noticed that multiple sets of colors look near-identical, to the point you’re not even sure they’re a different color (they are)?
