Didn’t this country lose its shit and clutch it’s pearls over public beheadings in other countries?

I wonder how long until it’s public beheadings here.

Like the kind of shit that traumatized us growing up and that youtube would go out of their way to make sure got removed each time it got reposted. Now it’s live streamed.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Modest_Proposal

A Modest Proposal for Preventing the Children of Poor People from Being a Burthen to Their Parents or Country, and for Making Them Beneficial to the Publick, commonly referred to simply as A Modest Proposal, is a 1729 satirical essay by the Anglo-Irish writer and clergyman Jonathan Swift. The essay, written from the perspective of a fictional narrator, suggests that the Irish poor could ease their economic troubles by selling their children as food to wealthy gentlemen and ladies. In English writing, the phrase “a modest proposal” is now conventionally an allusion to this style of deadpan satire.

Weirdly, this song just doesn’t make me want to jump up like some of their other stuff. I’m really partial to God’s Country and Help Me I’m Gay.

Love the lyrics to the song but it’s just not punchy enough musically, imho

Found Jonathan Swift’s Lemmy account.

Matrix is aimed at enterprise sized organizations and it shows.

I am an old fart and still find pretty solid deals on craigslist.

This is sweet but for your own safety don’t live in one of those.

They can still eat shit since they STILL fund anti-lgbtq organizations, to my knowledge.

I got a free year of perplexity.ai which gives me limited access to claude sonnet and yeah, its honestly pretty good.

Actually I think the Bush example is a bad one because I think that aspect of the 2016 election was memory-holed.

Originally the media was pushing Jeb Bush vs. Hillary Clinton, and Clinton herself was so fucksure that was going to be the match up she pushed her media contacts to focus on lunatics like Ted Cruz and Donald Trump, trying to show people how crazy they were. She underestimated two things here.

1. People being tired of both the Bushes and the Clintons. Trump came in as an outsider and shook things up, as no one was enthusiastic for Jeb “please clap” Bush. Clinton used the fact that she was essentially funding the entire DNC apparatus to put the finger on the scale because no one was really excited for her either, although she never had an equivalent “please clap” moment.

2. How people saw politicians like Bush and Clinton as maneuvering and calculating and following the winds of popularity rather than facing difficult problems head on. As much as Clinton was right to peg Trump as a lunatic, she underestimated (I did and still do too, I don’t get it) Trump’s charisma. Her self assuredness that it would be her vs. Bush was a total misread of an era where people were sick of current politicians in general and any kind of outsider became appealing (the explosion of interest in Bernie Sanders is snother example in the same period).

Anyway I think the push for Bush . Clinton alienated a lot of voters from both. I remember it was a common complaint I heard at the time from both people on the left and right.

I mean, I feel very called out right now.

Instead of .local my internal network domain is .evil.lair with a landing page saying “fuck off” and nothing else at https://evil.lair/

The description for my local domain is “Volcano Lair on Spider Skull Island.”

You think that’s bad, how about using your law degree to lobby on behalf of oligarchs.

That definitely puts them at the bottom with fraud and treachery. While working for a defense contractor merely falls under wrath and avarice, a slightly less severe circle of hell.

This meme really fails to capture Shatner’s odd pronunciation of sabatoge.

At least he was a good pianist.
