I'm thankful for being...
...adrift in my home town while the world collapses.
This isn't the kind of bar to plan underground action anymore. I've got a hipster sitting next to me wearing clothes I couldn't afford in a locally sourced skullcap getting ready to vote for whomever the Democrats tell him...at least until he hits the 1%.

"Even people earning six figures—which puts them in the top 18% of wage earners—are secretly struggling to keep afloat. ... Even the over-$200K set—the top 5%—are faking it to make it."

That and the Thanksgiving spirit (violent colonialism).
Hey! Don't call me violent! The dues I pay to antifa are making me do it!
Just punch the enablers and apologists and try to educate the others. Themn if they won't learn, punch them in the face.

Happy Thanksgiving Eve to all who celebrate, please enjoy some messed-up lore about the US's farm & food history.

I'd say the Windows users need punched in the face too, but antitrust monopolies hide options.

Huh, think I might've figured out why one (but only one) of my NextCloud instances loses contact with the OnlyOffice instance on the same host... Figured out it *might* be because of frequent polling that's resulted in the Mailcow instance (also on the host, as I'm trying to economise) is seeing it as making too many connections and is temporarily fail2banning it nightly. I've added the host's IP(v4&6) to the Fail2Ban whitelist... 🤞 it's still connected tomorrow!
People who brag about saving Windows users from any of the follies of using Windows need to be punched in the face.

Smart meter data can reveal intimate details inside your home. A court just ruled police can’t run dragnet surveillance on that data. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/11/victory-court-end-dragnet-electricity-surveillance-program-sacramento

This is a must read, and a good one to share with people who insist either that 1) the economy is fine because the statistics say so (like alot of Dems before the last election); or 2) that people are poor because they don't work hard enough.
The truth is it takes more years of work to pay for essentials now than it did 20 or 40 or 60 years ago...much, much more.
