Snow Leopard Chew Toy Extraordinaire

Or, put another way: conservativism is based in the lie that things used to be better. No, they were better for YOU. They weren't better for women, they weren better for immigrants, PoC, LBGTQIA+, or anyone else who isn't part of your in-group.

Others have it better, so you think you have it worse.

Correct. Charlie himself doesn't get it yet: this is what conservativism leads to. Always. It starts with "things were better before", authoritarianism inevitably starts slipping in because the world doesn't care about your forgetful nostalgia and selective memory, and eventually you get fascism.

Just so you know, 9 in 10 doctors recommend against doing this.

Hope you recover quickly!

The void will accept chicken as compensation for services rendered.

I wholly approve, but instead of attacking their personal identity as MAGA, it is far more effective, as @truthseeker19.bsky.social‬ does, to attack the underpinnings of that identity: the child sexual abuse, the epstein links, the attempts to pretend there is no evidence, the convictions, ...

The sportsball segment has gotten to trending with something about a Spurs player... and I can barely work out whether the guy died or simply transferred to another team.

Several sources confirming this, among which The Independent and www.middleeasteye.net/news/palesti... .

How weak do you have to be to try and remove children's artwork just so your genocide can be kept out of the public mind ?

Because influencers are pundits. They are not reputable news organisations, let alone trained journalists.

Inviting a select number of influencers is exactly the same as Trump's kicking out reputable news organisations that don't report favourably on him.

Linux From Slurp or bust.

The bit that irks me is how it's all "a man with a gun destroyed families tonight" when it's in a corporate tower, but never a word about how many guns destroy families in poor neighbourhoods all over the country... or how many families a bunch of wealthy shits with a mandate are destroying.

Sexual abuse is not about sex, it's about power. Abusers get off on the power they have over others, not the actual act.

Yeah, but he's still being a good little bitch.

An excellent thread on Tom Lehrer; and for those of you who never heard Lobachevsky, this is from Tom's own site where he has a disclaimer that all his music is in the public domain: tomlehrersongs.com/lobachevsky/

Should get a turkey one for spoopy season!

Yes.

The real force behind this crap is American religious conservatives.

Religion is a cancer of the mind.

Conservativism is concerned with keeping wealth and power concentrated where it has always been.

Neither of these things are good for the species.

Decompile? Tcpdump.

Ozzie needed some leather to reupholster the Dark Throne.

Hogan has done enough shitty things, and held enough shitty opinions, that surely we don't need to reach for the cheap appearance insults.

I know plenty of overweight and under-endowed people who are absolutely lovely humans. Let us not associate them with human detritus like Hogan.

Chaos clod 😂

I'm stealing that!

We have done this experiment one billion times and it has worked great all one billion times.

Oh, absolutely. Musk and doge were just the first steps in the process.

Remember what has been the neoliberal playbook for decades: defund, defame, privatise.

If the oligarchs want Vance, you can be damn sure that Vance is going to be worse - he's young, he's actually intelligent, and he's completely behind Thiel and Yarvin's antidemocratic CEO-monarch crap.

Yes, you read that right. It's neo-feudalism they're pushing. LITERAL serfdom to the corporation.

You know I feel the same. I did eventually go for the Netatmo doorbell, because while it's still dependent on their app and signalling servers, the video never leaves the SD card in the doorbell itself.
Full control is better, but I found the convenience trade-off acceptable in this particular case.

I only ever met him in passing, but I don't believe there was anyone he ever met that he didn't leave an impression on. My condolences.

That's how they've always done it in Outworld, though. Surely you can't expect Shao Khan to fight a bunch of mere mortals!

I cannot help but notice that in the second image, they're claiming that nodejs uses too much memory... but the memory meter for .net is higher :-)

YouTube video by TransgenderEquality The Gender Recognition Bill Becomes Law in Ireland

Today is the 10th anniversary of Ireland's gender recognition act. Ireland's gender recognition is through self-declaration without the need for permission from a doctor, panel or judge etc. In the past decade nothing bad happened.
