Remember the poem about the fascists coming for people but the speaker didnt do anything about it because they werent personally targeted but then regretted that because fash dont stop with one group. Theyll come for everyone eventually? Youre doing that right now. Fascists wont skip over you.

in honor of pride month, it would be really cool if people who think they are allies would permanently remove their hogwarts house from their social media bios

All of the positive coverage of her from RT and the fact that Putin supported her campaign via trolls? Also her refusal to call out Putins war crimes, which is abhorrent and just as bad as the Dems worst aspects. Also why are we still talking about the Clintons as if I like them or theyre relevant?

But also yeah it's kinda fucked that Larry King went to an RT event.

Larry King wasn't sitting with Putin and Flynn. He also didn't refuse to call out Putin's war crimes in his colonialist invasion of a sovereign nation. He's also not being actively pushed in a campaign by the Kremlin to support Trump.

Also it's kinda weird how you never addressed the fact that Stein is a Russian asset.

Also fuck NYT btw, they're a transphobic company that props up Trump.

I dont care who donates money to charities named after people no. Also dont care what you think of Clinton as shes an entirely irrelevant figure now whos only discussed by conservative weirdos online. Also, to be clear, I dont like Clinton. I just dont like conservative disinformation campaigns.

Yes and I actually read the articles about it so I know that this conservative misinformation is just that! She didnt vote on that, another rep from the DoS did, the DoS was only one of 9 members of that cmte. and she literally couldnt stop the deal if she wanted to as it was just rec to the pres.

So ten years ago she was chilling with Putin and Flynn (who was guilty working for foreign nations without disclosure), then refused to condemn his war crimes in his colonialist invasion of a sovereign nation, then hes running a campaign to promote her to benefit Trump but all thats totes nothing?

Screenshot of a headline of a news article "Russians launched pro-Jill Stein social media blitz to help Trump win election, reports say Building support for Stein was one of a 'roster of themes' the Moscow-sanctioned internet trolls 'turned to repeatedly,' report says."

Another headline reading: "Guess Who Came to Dinner With Flynn and Putin NBC News reviewed video and photos from a 2015 Moscow gala that Mike Flynn was paid $45,000 to attend to see who else was in the room." Below the headline is a photo of the dinner. The people are labeled. They are labeled: Michael Flynn Retired Lt.Gen.US. Army Emir Kusturica Film Director Willy Wimmer Former German Bundestag mbr Cyril Svoboda Former Deputy Prime Ministe Czech Republic Vladimir Putin President of Russia Maja Kusturica Emir's wife Alexey Gromov Putin's Deputy Chief of Staft Sergey Ivanov Putin's then Chief of Staff Jill Stein U.S. Green Party Presidential Candidate Dmitry Peskov Putin's Spokesman

Screenshot of an article and first paragraph of the article reading: "Jill Stein's Response to Putin Being Labeled War Criminal Goes Viral Green Party candidate Jill Stein is facing backlash after a video went viral in which she refused to call Russian President Vladimir Putin a war criminal."

You missed some pretty important headlines. Don't worry though I grabbed them for you. :)

Anyone have any experience with solar imaging? Specifically white light imaging, I'm wondering how long it takes for the surface features to move enough to cause blurring in the image.

Boeing's starliner capsule that is meant to bring people to the ISS has still yet to fly crew to the station as well despite Dragon having been doing so for years. Musk is an idiot but SpaceX is actually doing very well despite his ego because actually smart people are doing all the work.

They aren't funding NASA enough so they've been giving unrealistic numbers in the hopes of getting something done and that Congress will give more money when they see progress. Similar problem has happened with the mars sample return mission and JWST as well.

Addition the lunar space suits NASA is working on and were originally planned to be used on the Artemis missions that land have been delayed till '26. NASA as a whole has been underestimating both the cost and time estimates for this and a handful of other major programs because Congress sucks.

Small correction about the Artemis program delays. While SpaceX's HLS vehicle has been delayed it's not the largest problem with the program. The SLS which is the rocket that astronauts will take to get to lunar orbit was originally supposed to launch in '16 but didn't until '22.

Screenshot showing that the OP blocked me.

Awww apparently my comments here were too much for them and they blocked me. I thought *I* was the snowflake who was easily triggered?

No. It's hilarious because of the irony, in fact.

You realize y'all are the traitors Grant was referring too, both then and in the current situation, right?

It's a "how's it goin?" "Yea" meme with the text in the first panel saying "hey GOP how's it goin?" Then in the second panel it's a screenshot of a politico headline about how some GOP primary candidates have called to invade/bomb mexico because gangs exist.

Might want to add a pfp, profile description, and banner. peeps can be a bit hesitant with new users without that stuff because bots are a thing even here unfortunately

Can't possibly imagine why a white south african emerald mine heir would be upset with this sentiment. 🤔

Careful dead bird app management has been dumb and flagged people DMing about bsky with "suspicious account activity".
