Oeuvre means body of work. Oeuf is egg in French.

He was fired for saying hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions. That was all.

Also a columnist from the Washington Post was fired for simply mentioning a real Kirk quote:

Black women “do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken really seriously."…

“You have to go steal a white person’s slot to go be taken somewhat seriously.”

I’ve noticed a bunch of these rags are saying her quote was “untrue” but it seems it was real, according to Snopes at least. Revisionist history at work in real time.

This is why it’s so important to vote based on policy, not party names or “teams”. Parties can name themselves whatever they want (within reason) and they evolve and change as well. Canada right now is a good example. The current Liberal party is basically the Conservative party of the 90s. Just look at policy and leave the brand out of it.

Never forget, North Korea calls itself The Democratic Republic of North Korea. The Nazis were called The National Socialist German Worker’s Party. Words have meaning, even when they don’t.

Great to know, thank you! I kept trying to get to Software Sources before it froze

This has one of my favorite lines: “I’m Dick Tracy, take that Pruneface! Now I’m Pruneface, take that Dick Tracy! Now I’m Prune Tracy, take that Dickf—”

Yeah, maybe it just doesn’t play well with my 3060. I’ll leave it at 570 for awhile. Thanks.

I’m not sure, I just hit install updates when it popped up in Discover. Just looked again and there were a few updates to KDE and Gnome I just installed so maybe that was the problem, but now that I got 570 working again I’m not trying it for a bit

I’m on Ubuntu Studio 24.04. A few days ago I saw that 580 was released but didn’t know how to install it. Today I had auto updates show up so I installed them. 580 was one of them I guess. The taskbar froze up and I got mouse pointer trailing all ove the desktop. Everything else worked fine. I’ll pay more attention next time and exclude 580 in updates for now.

Agreed

I’m gonna guess that they’ll do exactly what Kirk himself wanted: Make it a public execution and encourage parents to bring their kids to watch. They won’t waste this opportunity to normalize public punishments for people who dare to speak out against hatred, bigotry, intolorance, and cruelty. Empathy cannot exist under fascism.

Dwight was a great character, but he only really works as a foil. He’s incredibly one dimensional and there’s no way he could carry a show. The best supporting characters are the ones you want more of, but getting more of them only reveals why they were supporting characters to begin with. Dwight could be a poster child for ‘less is more’.

If the US had done this after Jan 6, they would have saved themselves a lot of trouble.

Brazil can still pull a US anti-human move and elect the right wing next an he’ll be pardoned.

It was in Superior Spider-Man. Doc Ock takes over Peter’s body and starts running around as Spider-Man. He confronts Scorpion and punches his jaw off, realizing that all the times he fought Spidey, he was always holding back and could’ve completely destroyed him any time he wanted.

I wish you the best! The only social I have left is Lemmy (do most of my scrolling on RSS now so there’s no comments) and as of 3 weeks ago have officially cut out all big tech (grapheneos on phone, linux on PC and laptops, no Google/Amazon etc). It’s been a long 2 year journey but I feel like I accomplished something I can be proud of.

I’ve since finished a novel for the first time in years, started another, and listened to more diverse music than I ever have.

I still keep up with news (france24, fairly unbiased) but only because I feel like it’s my responsibility to stay as informed as I’m capable of, especially now with fascism on the rise again.

Keep it up!

Context is important. The man sitting in the worlds most powerful position was compared directly to one of history’s biggest monsters at a time when he’s literally following Hitler’s playbook step by step.

If someone yelled that at Bush in 2001, or Obama in 2015, hell or even Trump in 2016, yeah it wouldn’t really be news. But right now? Fucking right it’s important to keep this stuff in the news.

I’m realizing how much I missed growing up by just listening to compilation albums and burning popular songs and listening to the same songs over and over. Albums can tell stories, and it’s interesting listening to how the songs flow together.

I’ve been listening to a lot of soundtracks from Skyrim to Outer Wilds, and anything by Hans Zimmer, Ludwig Goransson, and Ramin Djwadi.

But he’s not just “some man”, and in context it wasn’t just “some insult”.

Not who you asked, but I can tell you where I’m at with that. My primary listening is on an mp3 player, and I also use a home server for listening on speakers/tv. Switching to a separate device used only for music has made my listening far more deliberate. When I pick up the player, I’m making a point to listen to music, not just have it on in the background like I used to. It’s also a pain in the ass (comparitively) to make playlists on it (I purposely chose a scroll-wheel style and no touch screen) so I’m listening to a lot of full albums now, which I never really did before, exposing me to a lot more than I used to since I don’t just throw the song or two I like on a playlist and leave the rest.

There’s been an interesting side effect that I didn’t expect: Being more deliberate with my listening has sharpened my ear to music, I hear music in movies and shows in a way I never used to, I’m beginning to recognize voices and band styles by ear, I actually focus on music now instead of it just being part of the background. As such, I find a lot of new music these days by looking up songs from movies and tv. For example, the most recent:

• I completely devoured the Sinners soundtrack. (Ludwig Göransson is a fave and I’ve always been a fan of Buddy Guy)

• Watching Dope Thief, I realized I never skipped the intro. Got me hooked on Little Simz

• James Gunn has some great taste. Beyond season 1 of Peacemaker, Season 2 has already got me absolutely loving Foxy Shazam, and after the latest ep I’ve been getting into Hardcore Superstar.

• Strangely enough, Rick and Morty has some bangers in the later seasons, and got me listening to stuff I never would have like Kishi Bashi.

• Additionally, there’s the news. I’ve been listening to Bob Vylan and Kneecap, and only heard of them because they stood up to support Palestinians.

Not only has my listening become more deliberate, but my sourcing of new music has as well. No longer relying on an algorithm to do the work for me has allowed me to hone a new skill and learn how to find new music myself.

Must be why they included Signal and Hamro Patro, a Nepalese app with features including news, horoscope, foreign exchange rates, podcasts and Nepali FM radio stations.

This was about information control and limiting the organization options of the people.
