  • Bash is copyleft (GPLv3). Zsh is permissively-licensed.

    Apple, for instance, switched from bash to zsh when the GPL version upgraded because they wanted to withhold those rights from their users.

    Zsh should be considered harmful as a tool of corporate encroachment and subjugation of Free Software.

    Are there any historically-accurate depictions of Mary Magdelene? That’d give us the answer.

    Alternatively, if we go by the theory that he was gay for John the Apostle, that gives us an answer too. (I assume John didn’t have boobs.)


  • The South is also the birthplace of the Civil Rights Movement and the part of the country with the highest percentage of black population.

    It’s easy for folks in places like Minnesota to pretend they aren’t racist when they barely ever interact with people of other races to begin with.

    Make no mistake: it’s rural people in all states who are bigots, not southerners. The only reason states in the south are still “red” is that they tend to have slightly higher percentages of rural populations than blue states do.







  • Good list, but I think there are a few things to add/modify:

    • Trump hasn’t just discussed bribing Greenlanders, he’s also repeatedly floated the idea of taking it by force.
    • the US is recalling non-essential staff from its embassies in Israel and Lebanon, fueling speculation that Israel is about to attack Iran. (IMO this might unfortunately put a damper on that revolution you mentioned.)
    • In Minnesota, ICE murdered a white woman who was a citizen and bystander (not protestor) and who was just trying to obey ICE’s instruction to leave. This has caused not only massive protests but also relatively strong condemnation of ICE by the state government, bringing the US even closer to civil war.
