Fuck this ICE mask bullshit

Utterly delusional to think any of that would work. At every step you would just get your face beaten in. When the cops come they too will just beat your face in.

Thinking you can castle doctrine a squad of ICE agents is equally delusional. You could probably take a couple out but you'd still die in the end and be risking the lives of anyone that lives with you.

The only solution is well known and already in practice in places like LA: have an active community response force that will show up and intimidate and harass the ICE agents. All of the previous delusions assume you, alone, can stop an ICE with just your privledge.

A German ISP tampered with their DNS - specifically to sabotage my website

In Germany, we have the Clearingstelle Urheberrecht im Internet (CUII) - literally 'Copyright Clearinghouse for the Internet', a private organization that decides what websites to block, corporate interests rewriting our free internet. No judges, no transparency, just a bunch of ISPs and major copyright holders deciding what your eyes can see.

This is worse than whatever the UK is doing IMO.

Anon learns about history

If you want a sample of how crazy Chinese history can get look at the Tai Ping rebellion:

  • Student fails Civil Servant Exam for the third time and has a mental breakdown
  • starts claiming he's Jesus' little brother who trained him to fight demons in his dreams
  • more dead than WWI

Inside House Dems' 11th-hour plot to sabotage Trump's agenda

Jayapal said one plan is to propose a raft of executive orders President Biden could issue to "protect existing structures," such as shielding career civil servants and Justice Department officials.

Yes! Good!

Some Democrats are also sensitive to the perception that they are adopting the tactics of Republican state legislators who used their supermajorities to kneecap incoming Democratic governors.

Fucking gauge my eyeballs out. You can't call them fascists and then object to playing dirty against them.

"We're trying to show how the United States is supposed to conduct itself every four years when a new person takes over the reins of government," said Cleaver.

McConnell denied Obama a Supreme court appointment! The precedent is already set! Your norms are already broken!

If democrats want to win they must purge their own ranks of members like Cleaver and rebuild with more Jayapals or else they will keep ceding grounds to fascists.

Apparently /r/democrats on Reddit is deleting any posts about Mamdani, and people are mad and unsubscribing because of it

This is why Mamdani is so important. Average progressives are going to finally see what socialists have been saying for decades. If you want to move left on anything economical. If you just want to raise the minimum wage $1. The democratic establishment will treat you as the enemy. They will come at you harder than they do the GOP because they can and because you are a threat to them personally.

For the record: numerous women have spoke out against Trump for sexual misconduct while underaged. All the named ones are from Miss America or Miss Universe competitions. A couple of Epstein's victims have filed charges against Trump too but those remain anonymous.

+3,000 student athletes in The A-Team. And yes it went horribly wrong. Some students started unionizing immediately.

"Then you go out in the field, and the first ray of sun comes over the horizon. The first ray. Everyone looked at each other, and said, 'What did we do?' The thermometer went up like in a Bugs Bunny cartoon. By 9 a.m., it was 110 degrees."

Garden gloves that the farmers gave the students to help them harvest lasted only four hours, because the cantaloupe's fine hairs made grabbing them feel like "picking up sandpaper."

The farmers sheltered them in "any kind of defunct housing," according to Carter — old Army barracks, rooms made from discarded wood, and even buildings used to intern Japanese-Americans during World War II.

Id play it

Palmer Lucky turned into a real piece of shit after the Facebook sale. He's now one of Peter Thiel's acolytes with his own weapons manufacturing company, Anduril. Promising to kill third worlders at a lower cost than Lockheed.

ACAB.

Patrol Cop once told me a joke about how he ran over a black kids bike. When got back to the station he saw the kid at the desk trying to report the incident. He'd carried his busted up bike the entire way. The cop behind the desk called out "Hey Rob, did you run over this kid's bike?". "Nope". Case closed. No report filed.

Edit: PS: This was one of the "good ones". He voted Clinton in 2016 because the rival faction in the Union was showing up to Trump rallies in class A's. Took him the entire Trump admin but he works retail now.

Pollsters are now asking AIs to answer surveys as if they were humans and passing the results off as poll statistics

“The idea behind silicon sampling is simple and tantalizing,” they write. “Because large language models can generate responses that emulate human answers, polling companies see an opportunity to use AI agents to simulate survey responses at a small fraction of the cost and time required for traditional polling.”

Somebody invested money into this company. And there's at least hundreds, maybe thousands, of other businesses with these asinine ideas about how to use AI. They're all getting capital from someone who's supposed to be smart because they have capital. Remember that when llm providers cost correct token prices.

7/10 Photoshop job. There aren't distortion lines but it is noticeably blurrier where its been edited.

I don't object to photoshopping billionaires. Im only asking for a sharper job.
