I’m trying to imagine how T**** would try to handle this. First, extort Boeing execs in exchange for help. Then, once the “donations” clear, use all powers and pressures to crush the strike, firing so-called strike leaders (illegal? add it to the pile…), and dump in more police/military for intimidation.

Bernie and progressives will undoubtedly fully support workers, join the line. Biden can strengthen his “most pro-union president” legacy (it’s a low bar, not perfect). Great opportunity for Harris and Walz (but it needs to be very strong or it will only disappoint).

Incitement to violence. They didn’t just follow the bus, they threatened and ran people off the road at high speeds. I guess that’s perfectly fine now in Texas, outside of city limits at least (where small town sheriffs decide which laws to enforce, and who to harass).

The guy supposedly won by like 15 points a few years ago (after barely winning previously). I know it’s unbelievable (along with Abbott’s fairly big win in Texas while killing people with power outages). But either they’re rigging elections (more projection, what a surprise!), or massive numbers of deplorables are flooding the state (and/or sane people are escaping).

That said, fuck 'em. This kind of pathetic, cruel, lawless behavior will continue escalating until there are real consequences. Wish we had a ruthless DOJ to harass them back at every step.

Putin begging for weapons from everyone, but only receiving garbage from North Korea and Iran. (While Zelenskyy receives quality tech from Europe and US, and Ukrainians impress with drones.) Heartwarming.

desperate scraping at the bottom of the barrel intensifies

I’m a bit surprised Xvideos is still viewable in “Tread on me, daddy!” states like Texas. (Maybe Paxton really thought it was Elen’s homemade porn site? Just kidding, it’s Czech owned, they can just ignore his deranged lawsuits. And now the most visited porn site in the world. Republicans are killing American jobs, confirmed.)

Revenue improves. “We did it! But… line must always go up!? More!” Enshittification will continue until death occurs.

I think this is what motivates me to play AC games the most: They really integrate accurate locations and history into their story (with plenty to read and learn about in menus, and even tour modes). I was especially impressed with Origins (Egypt) and Unity (France). Haven’t had time to play newer ones yet.

Cheung and LaCivita are accused of the abuse. And they are both completely rabid animals so it’s no surprise. But yeah, so weird that the entire T**** team is infested with these types of people.

They now have three ultra wealthy, absurdly out of touch, despised weirdos on the ticket. Two with catastrophic mental illness and cognitive decline. One with a Handmaid’s Tale (and couch) fetish. Backed by a handful of other billionaires from Musk to Thiel to Adelson to crypto lords. It’s a desperate and frankly pathetic strategy. In a free and fair election, with a moderately intelligent electorate, they would be crushed…

I thought people credited Macron with the error and poor timing of the election. But credited the French voters with saving the election (against the far right and polling, quickly uniting with a practical strategy).

Their drones are definitely attracting attention for their innovations and effectiveness. So many different weapons manufacturers are participating in the war. I hope Ukraine can take advantage and create their own industry, born of their reputation of defense.

I have as much faith in Nikki “doing the right thing” as I do Melania. They’ve bent the knee and kissed the ring mushroom micropenis, and made it very clear who they are. We should listen.

What if we send them to someone else first, and let them drop The Democracy right on the civilian population? Damn, still not working. Must need smarter, more sophisticated bombs…

I used Power Delete Suite (javascript IIRC, via Firefox, year ago) to edit and delete, and mine are still gone. Not sure if it is still effective.

Reddit is probably less and less tolerant about edits and deletions, now that they’re full speed on selling our data. Still see plenty of deleted posts when I’m searching for things, which is… nice I guess (bittersweet).

I’ve finally made one tiny step into the Linux pool: Replacing my little old Plex server & NAS (mini PC, Windows 10) with… an even tinier Raspberry Pi 5.

It’s been nice to finally have an excuse to start learning Linux: commands, bash scripts, ssh, samba shares, etc. I’ve always admired lean, portable FOSS, so it’s way overdue.

The “Sign in with Google” popups on virtually every site? It’s nuts. I was just trying to figure this out today. Try these or these.

“Geothermal energy is a DEI hire.” - Texas GOP next week (if the owners of company do not “donate” appropriately).
