  • I mean, I understand this argument, but Mozilla is still vastly superior to the alternatives. And as others have pointed out, even if Mozilla kicks the bucket, Firefox is open source and forks exist.

    Mozilla has been making a lot of questionable decisions, but they are nowhere near the point-of-no-return yet. Mozilla is still a company, and companies make corporate decisions.







  • True, but there’s also a VERY loud dissent against her on the right, which they would be happy to run with in their ads up to the election. The right - and the sponsors behind them (Russia, chiefly) - ate experts at loudly dispersing disinformation with their rhetoric (see: anti-vaxers, everything about trump, etc), and having AOC in the spotlight would give them a lot of ammo in the form of ThE rAdIcAl LiBeRaLs “talking over the executive office” etc. I just don’t trust that the milquetoast voting public wouldn’t buy into that loud rhetoric enough to not siphon more votes than they would gain. Unless that’s too pessimistic of me?



  • Last week I was severely panicking. This week is different. I’ve just been getting stoned and mentally preparing for the inevitable.

    Barring the one-in-a- million chance of a coronary finally killing the bastard, trump is going to win this election.

    When that happens, and the fascists seize control, they will be faced with preparing for yhe biosphere collapse via climate change (they 100% know it’s cooking), as well as ebay cpuld easily be the next superbug.

    Covid was a sign of bugs to come, it was the first, but will not be an outlier.

    And there’s nothing the fascists can do to hand-wave biosphere collapse or superbugs away - not with their firm stance of burying their head in the sand about it. They know it’s coming, but aren’t minding it.

    Only the 1% escape this scenario, the richest reiterated our society, by preparing their doomsday bunkers. The rest of us will eeke through society, and you can pick whichever post-apocalypse story you’d like to think will happen, it will probably be a mix of several. My money’s on something like a realistic Fallout, but maybe that’s just cuz it’s fresh in my mind.

    Buckle up. It doesn’t get better from here. Relax and prepare while you still have time.
