Anyone else notice the weird (possibly AI?) upscaling on this picture?

That’s a good point, makes what Brian was saying about Gretta even worse.

I wish fonts made the difference between uppercase i and lowercase L as clear as possible. I don’t understand why most computer fonts don’t put lines above and below the uppercase i like I think everyone is taught in school to do.

Just make voting mandatory and give people time off to vote. Read about Australia’s voting system. It’s really awesome and I wish we could have something like that here.

Reminds me about what they used to say about Al Gore on Fox “News”. They said he takes private jets. It’s a bad faith argument because those people then go on to deny climate change. Also he’s a former vice president, I’m sure security reasons are part of that decision. Also if those private jets allow him to be more productive in fighting climate change the net benefit of him using it may exceed the additional carbon generated by the jets.

There are companies which offer training and support to FOSS. Companies could also pay those companies.

Instead of some greasy podcast hack I’d much rather hear from professional military analysts and foreign policy experts. Bannon’s opinion doesn’t matter in the same way my opinion on how to perform open heart surgery doesn’t matter because I don’t know anything about open heart surgery.

Also what’s disgusting is Spotify recently allowed Bannon’s podcast back on. That’s why I’m again calling for people to contact Spotify and complain about bringing War Room back, about Joe Rogan’s disinformation and Andrew Tate’s hate. Or consider canceling your subscription and when you cancel fill out the reason why you canceled, mention it’s because of Bannon, Rogan and Tate.

This is proof right here that Musk has not stepped away. More pressure against Musk! Boycott Twitter, boycott Tesla, boycott Starlink, buy stocks in SpaceX’s competitors. Keep boycotting until he’s bankrupt.

I sometimes wonder what if everyone who spends money on licensing fees instead takes the same amount of money and puts it into FOSS. Imagine what we could achieve? Likely the money would be used more efficiently because they could donate it to non-profit companies which don’t need to pay tax.

This time we need aggressive offense. Relentlessly and accurately blame the Republicans for every single failure they caused.

The irony is when we get over this we’ll likely end up replacing our American-born doctors with immigrants to replace all the people lost.

Why would Trump need to be informed about it?

Good! Bring it down to 100% and also bring down Twitter usage to similar levels! Build fiber to rural areas so they won’t need Starlink or if you currently use Starlink see if fixed wireless is possible, maybe with a parabolic antenna on your roof or on an antenna tower you could get a signal. Keep boycotting Elon Musk until he’s bankrupt.

There are some lessons here in the article that I think other politicians can learn from. We’re often baffled why some people like Trump so much. It explains how he’s able (from the perspective of a supporter) feel raw, authentic and validate their concerns.

Of course we don’t like him because we study his actions, not his words and know that the “solutions” he’s proposing aren’t going to help his supporters or help anyone except perhaps the richest of the richest or rather the very wealth people within his inner circle and even then it seems like he’s not helping all of the rich or anybody because he’s hurting the economy which impacts us all no matter how rich or poor.

So I think the lesson is a politician who could evoke a similar feeling of authenticity without the divisiveness paired with real progressive solutions that will help the average American would do very well in an election and as president.

Let’s make the fallout long outlast his presidency by building a better country, changing the system to better protect peoples rights and ensure this never happens again.

His political contributions are really on brand. He funded election deniers in 2022.

Also I’ve heard Oracle has a bad reputation when it comes to government contracts, very expensive poor quality software ripping off our taxpayers. I think they ought to be blacklisted or at-least require extra review due to their reputation. CUNY paid Oracle over $600 million and look at what that got them: https://pscbc.blogspot.com/2013/03/cuny-first-computer-system-to-aid.html. To be fair the article does claim that “The project required an expenditure of up to a billion dollars to do it right. CUNY Central offered far less. All but one of the bidders dropped out as a result”. I’m confused why it needs to be so expensive, even $600 million seems like way too much.

How about we not generate carbon in the first place? I’m calling for a switch from fossil fuels to electricity generated by renewable sources of energy such as solar and wind. Fossil fuels are not only directly hurting the planet via means of greenhouse gases but also profits are being spent to buy politicians and cause democratic backsliding and they were instrumental to Trump being elected and not to mention they do lots of lobbying and political interference on a global scale including in Canada. So when you import fossil fuels from U.S. companies they are paying for your own demise.

The good news is you have the power to fight back. I urge you to contact your MPs and demand a faster transition to renewable energy, no more buying fossil fuels from the U.S. and also divest from other major Republican and Trump donors. Also consider getting solar or wind for your home if that option is right for you. No fossil fuels means less fuel for Republican’s campaigns.

Don’t come even if it’s free. You don’t want to be like one of these unlucky people:

“Three deaths in ICE custody in just over a month of Trump’s presidency marks the most deaths to occur in this fiscal year time period in five years”

Yes, this the truth right here. He’s not really leaving, he’s just going to be running things in the shadows. We must not fall for Musk’s ruse. He’s a huge threat to our national and will be a huge threat until he’s bankrupt or behind bars.

Keep boycotting Tesla, keep boycotting Twitter, keep boycotting Starlink. Keep urging other people to do the same thing.

What a weak man. Shows that when conservatives call people “snowflake”, it’s just projection.
