Just a reminder that the government has alien technology, but minimum wage is still $7.25...
Good morning from the United States, where an entire political party is pretending that a conspiracy to upend an election is somehow protected by the First Amendment #uspol
Quote from article: This movement by the morbidly rich, which has fully captured the Republican Party, is led by fossil fuel and big business oligarchs who are using the social, religious, and political values of the old Confederacy to build a modern nationwide movement. They’ve built their political house on the foundation of bigotry, misogyny, and hate.
That movement, at its core, is fascist. And just like fascists of Europe in the 1930s who claimed that their main enemies were communists, these fascists label all who oppose them as commies.
They don’t actually believe that Democrats are communists, of course; they’re not that stupid. It’s just a convenient term of demonization. Fascists have always known that to enrage people to the point of violence it’s necessary to first turn their opponents into “the other,” and “communist” is a convenient all-purpose term to do that.
All First Nations ppl deserve to know the names of the children lying in unmarked graves at every single site at Indian Boarding schools. #Indigenous #WeAreStillHere
I also should have mentioned that I actually critiqued Barbie so hard that I ended up consulting for Mattel. https://medium.com/csforall-stories/tech-barbies-backstory-how-she-went-from-math-is-hard-to-robotics-engineer-63d22437df5d
@Cedara And thank you for the suggestion!
"The first thing auth govts do.. is shut down the archives, censor..and produce propaganda glorifying a mythical past.. We call on all TSHA members to resist the current effort.. to politicize it, to remake it into a heritage grp or, worse, a propaganda organ"- past Texas State Historical Assoc presidents.
Once again, Teen Vogue is doing a better job covering politics than most other mainstream publications:
Everyone: Let's use this worldwide communication network to download all the movies and TV show we could ever want.
Hollywood Execs: But that would be piracy!
Everyone: So what?
Hollywood: If you pirate these movies, the people that make them won't get paid for doing so.
Everyone: So if we get the movies through you, they will get paid?
Hollywood:
Hollywood: I never said that.
This is true more broadly: to the extent possible, limit the data your server collects and stores, and only store data for as long as it is necessary.
@Cedara Thank you! 😀

This seems timely right about now… https://whatever.scalzi.com/2022/11/25/how-to-weave-the-artisan-web/ #socialmedia #thebirdsite
This is a masterclass on how not to change a company name.
Anyone else would not change the name to a trademark their competitor owns, the logo to a symbol they cannot own and then try to take down the sign at headquarters only to have the cops shut that down because they had no permit. 🤦♂️
A trifecta of oopsie daisies. Should we let them release robot cars onto the roads?
I write things. Mostly words.
