Leave, if possible. If not, put your head down, continue to vote/support progressive candidates and ideas. Understand at the same time the futility of this when there only exist 2 right of center parties who will do whatever they can to stop any real reform. Also internalize the fact that a majority of voters actually voted for a convicted felon and insurrectionist fascist, just to maintain a perspective on this hellish reality.

(1/3) +(1/2)(1/3) = 1/2

Math checks out from this end.

When you vote in a Nazi, expect Nazis to be validated.

They aren’t wrong.

That seems pretty ridiculous. I never had too much of an issue with visibility in the rain, and you can already buy gloves with a built-in squeegee blade on the thumb. That said, if it were a lot cheaper it might be worth trying out.

I wish y’all luck. I’ll be way on the outside of this country watching it fall.

I’m in that country and can’t disagree. I was just paraphrasing the line from the Joker movie to a friend of mine,“We’re going to get exactly what we deserve.”

Two others were more lightly injured in the struggle that one police source said had broken out around 8:00 am as the teenagers involved were on their way to secondary school.

It was not immediately clear what triggered the fight, in which weapons including the axe, a knife, a samurai sword and baseball bats were used.

Damn. I thought some US schools were rough.

Modern fruit isn’t especially healthy:

At the Melbourne Zoo, the monkeys are no longer allowed to eat bananas. And the pandas are getting pellets instead of plums. In fact, fruit has been phased out completely. That’s because the fruit that humans have selectively bred over the years has become so full of sugar the zoo’s fruitarian animals were becoming obese and losing teeth. -source

I just went for the heavy use of blocking those types, and my experience on here has gotten way better. Otherwise, my user experience was just a fire hose of outrage and performative pearl clutching.

They did the same thing with Biden.

This is like saying 1,000 delusional people endorse Harris. I don’t think it’s the flex they think it is.

The voters are supposed to hold them accountable. It’s just rotten from the bottom up.

If trump actually…shudder…wins, he could do as he’s said and bring down the fascist military hammer on any type of dissidents. These billionaire ghouls don’t care what happens to the country or world, they just care about their hoard.

I wouldn’t give the Russian troll farms all the credit. There is a lot of activity coming from Iran as well. Especially on this topic.

Linus either makes me think he’s a dick, or he makes me laugh. Sometimes both. I liked his response:

Greg Kroah-Hartman who authored the patch dropping the various maintainers has yet to comment on the mailing list thread, but a few minutes ago Linus Torvalds chimed in with his opinion. Linux creator Linus Torvalds wrote:

"Ok, lots of Russian trolls out and about.

It’s entirely clear why the change was done, it’s not getting reverted, and using multiple random anonymous accounts to try to “grass root” it by Russian troll factories isn’t going to change anything.

And FYI for the actual innocent bystanders who aren’t troll farm accounts - the “various compliance requirements” are not just a US thing.

If you haven’t heard of Russian sanctions yet, you should try to read the news some day. And by “news”, I don’t mean Russian state-sponsored spam.

As to sending me a revert patch - please use whatever mush you call brains. I’m Finnish. Did you think I’d be supporting Russian aggression? Apparently it’s not just lack of real news, it’s lack of history knowledge too."

I have a family member who just cancelled their subscription to the LA Times over this. After having been a subscriber for decades and continuing to be a subscriber to “maybe slow the decline of traditional journalism” for the past years since its quality has severely declined, they just said,“Well, that did it.”

The Supreme Court went out of their way to dodge the 14th Amendment question. Both during questioning and in their ruling.

Prices are insane.

I still don’t get why trump hasn’t been disqualified under the 14th. Pretty fucking clear.
