American here. Fucking true, brother. You tell 'em!

Queen Liliuokalani deserves to have her name heard. And the US and the Dole Corporation both owe Hawaiians their sovereignty back.

That road, deadass, goes through five war zones. Hell no.

Was a mental health tech at a psych hospital. Ditto this, when it’s the nurse’s word against yours and the Ombudsman is already overworked and overwhelmed, you’re cooked.

I tried to go to bat for my patients so often, but once the nurses and the aides burn out, they stop doing the job because they care and start doing the job because it’s a job. I had nurses who told me to overchart patients so their insurance would pay more and they’d stay longer. Shady, shady shit.

Red Flag laws are used to remove guns from Trans, Latino, and Black people in red states too. It’s not the solution to gun violence that people think it is. It was a good idea, but it ends up falling to paradox of the false positive and even being weaponized against minorities more often than not. It violates due process as well.

More comprehensive care for people with severe mental health issues and arresting and jailing domestic violence offenders their first time is more effective. Unfortunately, we just defunded public mental health, so…

If all of us flee to Canada, there will be no one left to fight back.

We love you for welcoming those of us who can’t stay. But someone has to.

I wish. It would mean that this genocidal freak would feel his sins crawling on his back.

Right. Sure. Keep shilling for daddy Putin, you’ll get your promotion for sure if you keep it up.

Fuck you, Russia STARTED this fight. Imperialism and capitalism are the god damn problem, and here you are enabling them both.

Graphene. /e/OS is European, but unfortunately its security implementations are dangerously outdated. It still doesn’t enable re-locking your bootloader.

Low-key, the fact that that skit is no longer funny and is nothing but straight facts is absolutely paralyzing.

Monty Python’s Flying Circus was terrifyingly, utterly lucid. That was the straightest skit they ever wrote.

It’s funny because it is, in fact, completely true.

My ancestors beheaded kings. One of the only good things they ever fucking did, imho.

Do you know where the entire idea of left-vs-right even came from?

After the French Revolution, after the people stormed the Bastille and overthrew the monarchy, they were still working out the concept of a government without a king. The National Assembly was split pretty much down the middle; the people who sat with their friends and coconspirators found that muttering ideas to each other was easier when the other side of the room couldn’t hear them. Like any high school lunch room, people found their own assigned spots with their friends.

The Monarchists ended up on the right side of the room, and the Republicans ended up on the left.

My brother in Christ, the GOP was ALWAYS about dragging us back into the dark ages. It’s what Conservatives have wanted for as long as Conservativism has existed as a political orientation. France and the UK still have monarchist hangers-on in the far-right wings of their politics.

Ooh, a Russian troll! Quick, whack him with the hammer, they’re worth extra bonus points!

Damn you, McCarthy! Your imaginary list of communists doomed us all!!

Dennis! There’s some lovely filth down 'ere!

Do you like cancer research? How about fighting forest fires? Averting mid-air plane collisions?

DOGE sure hates all of those.

I think we’re headed for balkanization. We’re seeing the breakup of the USSR all over again.

Some author openly claims to be a terf. If she calls herself a bigot, then call her a bigot. 🤷

👏👏👏

God, the ALSA-PulseAudio Wars never fucking ended, and we’ve been stranded ever since. It’s the Wayland/X11 windowing struggle all over again!

“This package uses a legacy windowing system, and is insecure.” You know who else is insecure? The devs!
