but then nobody gets your emails because you aren’t one of the big boy domains.

Email was not designed for the modern internet and not just on the security front. But we just kept beating at it with a hammer until it was a vaguely square shaped peg and put it in the hole anyways.

The conflict of interest here is pretty obvious, and if anybody was suckered into believing this guy’s prognostications on his company’s products perhaps they should work on being less credulous.

van der Lubbe was a communist who was executed for starting the Reichstag Fire…

the far-right establishment behind the Trump administration is preparing to use this as the justification for the incoming Reichstagsbrandverordnung.

They’ve got their van der Lubbe now and they’re working to get their bullshit in before Nov 2026

…I kinda hope that’s exactly what was engraved.

Kirk wasn’t even a politician, he was a talking head. And not even an A-lister like Shapiro or Jones. These guys are looking for an excuse to become violent and it didn’t take much.

“transgender ideology” is not a thing. That’s the type of shit transphobes pull out of their ass when they’re trying to attack trans folks

bullshit. You’re just intellectualizing being a creep.

There’s a point of diminishing returns where the speed of travel goes down with an increase in traffic and related infrastructure.

How, exactly, does having empathy lead to toleration of unempathetic ideologies like fascism? It logically would make us even more averse to those kinds of ideas. Dare I say, a dearth of empathy on a societal level leads directly to those places.

What a reductive and unnuanced view of the world. I sure hope you are not representative of the rest of the population or we are even more fucked than I thought.

the problem is that he was wrong; Empathy is a good thing. You are embodying his shitty ideology by not having empathy. That doesn’t mean you gotta suddenly like the guy or not call out his shitty ideology, but don’t let yourself get dragged down into the septic tank and get covered in the shit.

I’ll gladly die on this hill, get at me nerds

I’m super not stoked on this event, I know that makes me a big softy or whatever but I’m not gonna be the one celebrating blood and death and mayhem regardless of who it is…BUT Charlie Kirk is was one of the leading big mouths pushing political discourse to this point. He’s been helping fill the tinderbox and somebody just dropped a lit match into his lap.

I just hope to God they don’t try to spin this into a store-brand Reichstag Fire moment since they can’t get any big reaction from the Nat’l Guard presence.

there’s a lot of mid-century French theorists spinning in their graves right now

liberals gonna lib but what does the acceptance, or rejection, of science have anything to do with it? Plenty of fascists have had no problem embracing science as a method of political expediency and plenty of leftists have rejected scientific advance as a measure of political progress.

that’s some delicious red herring you’ve got there

the only thing more aggravating than using imperial is having to listen to all the complaining about how metric is better. We get it, bro; it’s out of our control at this point

but now you can use the magic words that get the morons in the executive suites all hot and bothered

the thing to do here is to continue referring to it as the DoD. I know that nobody of any consequence will do anything that could be construed as interesting but a person can dream

voting only works if you also put in the work after the fact. When biden got elected, suddenly all the political fervor of the previous ~4 years vanished. And, assuming we get out of the current morass in one piece, it’s likely that all the uproar going on now will similarly disappear once “our guy” is in the oval office again.

Voting is the least any person can do, but without pounding the pavement and going out and doing the legwork, it’s just a bone they throw to us so we shut up. It happens every time, in every presidential election I can remember, and yet there are still people out here saying “but dae vote or dont complain!!:!:!:!:!”!“!”!?!!:!L!". It’s insulting.

There are few, if any, actually effective political movements that relied solely on officially approved political avenues to achieve anything. The Civil Rights movement in the US didn’t merely vote until the federal government deigned them worthy of being treated like human beings; they got out in the streets and demanded equality. The Indian Independence movement didn’t succeed by only appealing to the official colonial political apparatus using whatever methods were allowed them. They went and earned it.

So, whenever the liberal voting bloc is ready to stop letting themselves be politically infantilized by the electoral process, get at me.
