Isn’t it lovely that, in these times of polarization, division and conflict, all of Congress can come together and join hands in the common cause of genocidal slaughter of innocents.

Better than getting it directly from the corporations. We have more leverage over government. And we can vote in a different government, especially if we keep up the pressure for electoral reform.

Publicly funded local news is really important. The right wing propaganda often flies under the radar when it comes to local news outlets that are part of some large billionaire-owned corporation.

Every time you think you have the measure of how awful this man is, he proves himself to be a bit worse.

So you’re allowed to build clean energy projects as long as you don’t mention what makes them worth doing, and only employ white men?

It’s hard to generalize because it differs by age range and location, but figures for how many people identify as transgender tend to hover around 0.5% to 1%, so a bit more than you suggest.

I hope cis people are prepared to actually fight for trans people’s rights, because in the current climate we need to show some solidarity and stand up for each other.

Joins the Trump admin, knowing what they plan to do, then worries about his credibility when they do the disastrous thing they always said they would do. I don’t have a lot of sympathy.

Time for the Democrats to seriously consider furrowing a brow or two.

So saying I’m tired of people’s obsession with Nazis makes me a Nazi?

No, being a Nazi makes you a Nazi.

It’s really quite impressive.

Superficial? Quite possibly.

About 2500 years ago the Buddha identified three poisons of the mind: greed, hatred and ignorance. So basically conservatism. And yet here we are.

User [email protected] gave me the best explanation when I asked what the rationale is for Trump’s tariffs:

His logic is: I walk into a store and buy a hat for 10$ and sell them a shoe for 7$. This means the store ripped me off by 3$. To counter this, I will add a tarriff of (3/10)/2 = 15% to all business I do with this store so they dont dare sell me anything in the future.

He has really changed a lot too.

Many conservative American women strive to look like this, not just the news anchors. Among the women in orbit around Trump there are several with this same look. It’s all very artificial, with lots of makeup and plastic surgery, but apparently it’s an ideal in Republican circles.

High levels of narcissism are classified as a disorder, and megalomania is a combination of mania and grandiose delusion. So it’s all not healthy.

How is discoverability in PeerTube? That was the sticking point for me with PeerTube as with Mastodon last time I looked. It was not easy to discover what’s out there.

We need sites that are decentralized and make clear where their funding comes from. In the end, users need to be prepared to fund the services they use to keep them honest. This is especially true of video which is very expensive to host.

YouTube on mobile is intolerable these days. NewPipe is the way for Android, though Google is in a constant battle to disable it.
