Hey everyone! Codeberg will go down for about 10 minutes starting 19.00 UTC (20.00 CET) to create database indices which are expected to improve performance. This requires a short interruption of service.

We apologize for the inconvenience and short notice.

Mohammed bin Salman should be in a courthouse facing justice for ordering the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

Instead, he's at the White House.

If you fail the tutorial in Leisure Suit Larry, you have to play as Larry Summers emailing Epstein for advice.

Frankly, I think this says A LOT about our country. I know these people. You do too. Heck, odds are good that someone reading this IS one of these people. Entitlement and self-centeredness are the defining personality characteristics of the middle-class American, imho...one I came to while observing myself trying to fit-in in a southeast Asian culture not typified by those pathologies.

I've known a lot of liberal Americans who are so naive about the rest of the world that they can't possibly imagine that their "enlightened," middle-class ass wouldn't be welcomed with open arms everywhere in the world. To the people who threaten to move out of the country whenever a Republican wins the presidency, my response is always, "what makes you think they want you there?"

This Day In Anarchist History - November 18 - The Rio de Janeiro Uprising

This day in Anarchist History, Nov 18th 1918 we remember the Rio de Janeiro anarchist insurrection.

In the months leading up to the Rio de Janeiro anarchist insurrection, anarchists had been planning to overthrow the Brazilian state by building a broad coalition of workers and unions.

Their one fatal flaw was counting on low level military to join them and their attack failed because of a snitch within those ranks.

Despite it’s ultimate failure this is often considered the high water mark of anarchism in the territories controlled by the state of Brazil.

I would argue there can be no good corporations beyond a certain size - they're all in a race to the bottom once they achieve that critical mass.

@existentialcomics This is devastating

Who's the real enemy now? Extremely wealthy people (oligarchs) and large corporations (especially in health, fossil fuels, media, & tech). Everything else is probably manageable. We need to hobble the extremely wealthy and the mega corporations. We need to end the 'corporations-as-person' model. as well. It is untenable. That also means rejecting, explicitly & systemically, groups like the Atlas Network/Project 2025.

Dr Oz isn’t mincing words, he’s stating the regime’s eugenicist goals loud & clear

“Want to drop the cost of healthcare in America? Get healthy”

Where does that leave disabled and chronically ill people?

We can’t “choose” to get healthy.

Just like we didn’t “choose” to be disabled.

They have no plan for healthcare.

Their plan is to leave us behind.

If people really want to use the 12-hour clock. Then they really should do it correctly. As ante meridiem means before noon, then midnight can remain 12 am as it is but then the hours should count down towards noon and so 01:00 ought to be 11:00 am, 02:00 ought to be 10:00 and so on until 11:00 being 1 am i.e. 1 hour before noon. In other words, like BC/AD for calendar years (but with a zero!). Then post meridiem makes some sense after that.

Katherine Rich gives Uber far too much credit. https://www.rnz.co.nz/national/programmes/morningreport/audio/2019013122/what-uber-ruling-could-mean-for-gig-economy They didn't do any of it to 'make the world better'. They did it to make their shareholders profit. That's not a noble pursuit. Not even a little bit.
