You dare speak the name of the accursed one??

God this is so true. I teach compuster science, and I always make a point in one lecture to show the students how many tabs full of basic questions I have to open when grading their assignments. Nobody can memorize all of this, and it’s so important to shake off that feeling of not being good enough just because you have to look something up.

I can’t decide if that’s higher or lower than I expected.

“Hey. Hey. I’m hungry. Hey. Hungry. Stop moping. Feed the cat. Hey. Cat. See the cat? Feed the cat. Hey.”

Typing is hard today, I guess.

Same the feds are going to wipe out every last scrap of progress we made.

Pretty sure we just nailed that window shut.

There’s no silver linings or little victories here. Nothing progressives won last night matters at all. It can all be undone at the federal level, and will be on day one.

The reason nobody’s talking about her is, if we can get them to forget she’s there, maybe she’ll get to live. But I honestly doubt it.

It blows my mind you can still love this country after last night. Dude, we just ceded everything to the bigots. They’ve overwhelmingly achieved all their goals.

And had they replied to that comment they would have had a point.

In defense of the anons, you probably got the temp ban because that argument is a #1 hit among bad faith trolls coming in to spread their hyperconservstive rhetoric. Unfortunately nuance and the assumption of good faith were among the first casualties of this propaganda war, and it’s damned tragic that thats the case.

Its black humor, not cheering the deaths of people. It’s pointing out that we’ve been warning the world for years that exactly this will happen, and now it has in a way that resembles a system correcting itself. There’s no joy in hilighting this, just ironic tragedy and the laughter of the gallows.

The destruction of automobiles during a disaster which was made far worse as a result of climate change is a very poignant juxtaposition.

But they do still have analogies in spain, right? The flood didn’t wash away a fundemental facet of human communication?

They killed people they felt threatened by, and that they couldnt use. Teachers, doctors, authors, scientists, philosophers, social critics, journalists, midwives, artists, performers. Those are the people that died at the hands of Mao and Kim, not the capitalists whose wealth they both needed. Mao was all about investment into collectivist systems, one of the biggest factors driving The Great Leap Forward was the need to quickly develop new sources of domestic investment. And the DPRK is just a corrupt Juche system, they love foreign investors (and holding them for ransom!). Just because a few people you don’t like incidentally died in the purges too doesn’t mean they had “the right idea”, and it’s sickening to see you spout that revisionist BS here.

I’d much much prefer they live to reevaluate their opinions, but I do understand the sentiment.

Boy, they sure are going full Gonzolo Lira over there…

Pretty much this. How many artists did you follow on, say, reddit? There were so few on there, and those that were there mainly linked to alternate social media and just used reddit to get engagement. Lemmy is probably the most approachable activitypub interface (we all remember trying to find the damn content on mastadon/bluesky…) and it’s just not big or established enough to be worth trusting. Hopefully that will start changing soon as more people hop over from the myriad other sites, we seem to be past the critical point for new users, but it just takes time.

Plus the complete lack of effort on the part of any government anywhere… we are all so fucked.

“Everyone I disagree with is a nazi” Hey so it turns out…

Fucking hell this is vile.
