Fascism wants you to believe that you are alone. That you are isolated. That the feelings you have are yours and nobody else has them because everybody is too afraid to speak.

But love is stronger than fascism. Community is stronger than fascism.

I stand corrected. Four out of 5 Democrats want to abolish ICE.

Any elected Dem asking for less is outside the mainstream of their party.

We got our new fiber lasercutter up and running finally! here it is making its first test cuts in stainless steel

One modest benefit of growing up in Ireland is a reasonably clear-eyed picture of the unpleasant realities of dairy farming, and indeed farming in general. These people, who appear to be rich dilettantes in it for the social media clout, deserve to be regularly sprayed with slurry.

Today is a significant day in rebuilding Danish defence as the first day of the new national service with 11-12 months service for privates and 23-24 months for sergeants & lieutenants. A drone unit & a long range patrol unit for the Special Operations Command are among the first

“Republicans ought to nationalize the voting”: Trump eyes radical power-grab Those concerned about democracy don’t have the luxury of simply shrugging with indifference to the president’s latest conspiratorial nonsense.

Four weeks ago: Trump floated the idea of canceling future elections
Three weeks ago: “When you think of it, we shouldn’t even have an election”
Yesterday: “The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting”

But it’s not just rhetoric: all of this has come against a backdrop of concrete action.

Trump said: “The Republicans should say, we want to take over. We should take over the voting, the voting in at least many, 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting.”

Which outlet do think got it right with its headline?

Even the world of the 2000s is a distant dream. Extreme poverty has straight-up *evaporated* outside of Africa. The 21st century has done things that were aspirational UN goals just a few decades ago.

Arguably, *Westlessness* is just empirically true in the sense that globalization has decisively ended the imbalances of the 1500-1900s. Many "Western" standards of living are now just the norm globally. For instance, electricity:

who are you barricading out of what. what is the greater strategic objective

Stanley Kubrick did not know who Jeffrey Epstein was and had not left England for several years before making the movie, I hope this helps

This works pretty well in academia too:

"I had a hungry ghost in a jar write this code" > sure, as long as u checked it works 🤷‍♀️

"I don't remember that paper, I fed it to a hungry ghost in a jar" > why?

"a hungry ghost in a jar did that calculus course for me" > you're paying to educate a ghost?

From the Epstein files: were Paul Volker and Tom Brokaw really members of a secret society with a "no minorities or women allowed" rule? Brokaw is still around -- worth asking him!

To be clear observers have been getting arrested from the start. The feds have NOT filed many, if any charges, and those arrested observers are generally turned loose a few hours later. It’s scary but it’s also very much a bluff.

1996 in my student flat, four of us play EF2000 on a LAN. A friend's boyfriend visits us: an actual Mirage 2000 pilot. We itched to have him try. And of course, we repeatedly downed him before he figured any of the unfamiliar simulator. Cringey assholes. He never talked to us again - we earned it.

A correction for the ages (from The Guardian's review of 'Melania'):

It's the kind of fraud that we don't even have a name for yet, but history will use to mock us forever (best-case scenario).

I thought Americans had lost our capacity for collective action and civil society after 40+ years of Reaganite brainwashing; I'm inexpressibly happy to be wrong.

The people of Minneapolis are showing breathtaking courage. Facing down armed federal goons to protect their neighbors isn't just brave; it’s legendary.
