Isn’t that most of history? Liberals, “centrists”, et al would rather side with fascists than give an inch to labor.

Clearest warning? Of what? New York City is one of the few cities in the US I’d want to live in. Stephen Miller is a delusional nazi shit. He should be screaming on a street corner somewhere, not working in government.

Reminded me of classic tacocat song “hey girl” https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lXt5n9Ni5p0

I saw the early reporting come in and I was sitting here like Ronin in Endgame going “don’t give me hope…”

There’s still a chance for this to turn into a nightmare but I hope it’s for real

Conservative means “There must be in-groups for the law to protect but not bind, and out-groups for the law to bind but not protect.” That’s it. They are childish assholes that only care about power for their group, and keeping other people out of power. They are the worst sort of people.

Republicans are an existential threat. No republican should be allowed to hold office. They should be ashamed to show their faces in public. Someone revealing they’re a republican should get the same reception as someone saying “I kick puppies”. (Though, given some high ranking republican is out and proud about shooting a puppy, maybe I should find a new metaphor)

Conservatives don’t want to solve real problems. They’re like toddlers that are angry without understanding anything, but they want to scream and throw things. Broken people.

We should name them in ways that lay the blame on the rich and polluting. “Exxon’s Disgrace”, “Elon’s Deceit”, whatever.

And when I expand the attached image and read the tiny print, I see you already went down this road. Well done.

Unless Israel is going to be a new borough of new york city, I don’t see why it should be a top concern for the mayor.

“Do we have bike lanes?”, contrary wise, would be.

Sadly, they make a ton of money from AWS (amazon web services). A large portion of the internet relies on it. It’s difficult or impossible to avoid using any amazon services. Like, you use a website and their backend uses s3 and rds. No way for you to know, much of the time.

I avoid shopping on amazon anyway, but the problem is wider spread.

It’s kind of baffling to me. All of my friends are to some degree engaged in politics. But there are probably whole chunks of society that just brain rot through the day looking at memes and don’t really think about anything.

I think I kind of radicalized one of the guys I worked with just by talking to him about broad strokes of history and labor. If instead of me they had hired some bland “don’t talk about anything” standard guy, he might not have learned much. Talking to people can help.

This probably won’t help with the first point but you can hit Ctrl+d I think, or click the star, and it’ll just bookmark it with a default name (page title) and location, I think. I’ve definitely bookmarked things by accident somehow.

I don’t believe I have ADHD so I can’t really relate to it. My original post wasn’t meant to be like a condemnation - weird isn’t always bad. Just different.

It’s mildly interesting that you wouldn’t get anything done, but I feel like if I had to work like you I wouldn’t get anything done. Trying to deal with all those tabs would be a big distraction to me. Funny how different folks can be.

There was a news article a while ago about maga hats saying their church was repeating “liberal talking points”, when the pastor was simply quoting Jesus.

Most of the maga hats don’t care. They found their tribe and that’s all that matters to them now.

Facts and quotes don’t change people’s minds. In-group belonging does. So long as they see you as an enemy, they won’t listen to anything you say. We’re all vulnerable to that, but maga hats seem especially vulnerable.

That always reminds me of the “missing missing reasons” post. It’s about estranged parents specifically, but I think the behavior shows up elsewhere. People’s ego is too fragile to let them remember or admit some details, and their emotions are creating their whole reality.

Usually the browser history, or I remember enough to find it again.

Admittedly, a couple times I haven’t been able to find a particular meme or whatever, but it’s never been important stuff.

Other people’s computer usage is weird to me.

I just bookmark stuff if I think I’ll need it later, and I usually don’t even do that. Otherwise, every browser window is closed at the end of the session.

Though the details of the Bezos wedding are highly guarded beyond the rumored $10-million budget

Ok so I’m not going to say that we all need to eat dirt so long as anyone is worse off than we are, but that’s a lot of money that could be spent on anything else.

I’m not christian but camel through the eye of a needle, man. You can’t be a good person when you’re sitting on that much wealth, and Bezos isn’t even trying.

Aren’t great on… median? Majority fall below some arbitrary standard of “decent”?

There was a rally to support Lander this afternoon. Pretty good turnout for a sudden gathering on a Tuesday.

He gave a short talk after he was released.

He should be removed from office at the very least.
