I am genuinely not sure how that kind of outreach would work, or how to protect anything that is out there from bigots weaponizing it, but I recognize that there's a need and that cis men like myself (especially those of us with some height on us) have a surprising amount of power to prevent other cis dudes from fucking around.

I am not much for toxic masculinity, but I've spent enough time embroiled in it to know that groups of guys will back off anyone who they think might have a weapon. Hell, I've personally seen gangbangers actively ward other gangbangers off from cat-calling a woman wearing a wedding ring. I learned later that this is common wisdom because the potential damage that a scorned husband can cause is ridiculous. I think there is something to just utilizing that effect for, y'know, good instead of evil.

Y'all, the denial of power happens on every possible level. We gain power with every single Charlie Kirk Memorial Highway sign that gets "accidentally" knocked down with a car bumper. Or every Charlie Kirk Memorial Highway offramp sign that gets suddenly redesigned overnight with a can of black spray paint. Deny them quarter on every single front.

Ah I am not sure. I just assumed it was W3C.

the thing i keep seeing as a wrinkle is, he’s using the national guard, who are by-and-by-large the weekend contract kind who maintain jobs and have families in far-flings of the state.

by deploying them and keeping them deployed, the longer they stay like that, the more guardsmen will lose the jobs they had waiting for them. i know there are protections and such, but, we’re in a capitalist-fascist hellscape now, money is gonna do the talking from now on, and a deployed soldier don’t make money. i also do not see this occupation ending any time soon, nor do i see any protestors being dumb enough to try and test the might of the world’s only global military hedgemon… so, i think they’re just gonna be sitting around playing fucking candy crush.

like, is there a ceiling with guardsmen on how much bullshit they’ll tolerate before they start deserting? i am genuinely asking, if anyone is in the service and knows better.

the mergers & acquisitions leviathan eats yet another beautiful thing, just like it ate my precious linode.

Just a friendly reminder, slavery has been an active part of the Neoliberal agenda since the 60s. For-profit prisons use their prisoner population to do factory work (cus nobody cares about them or their wellbeing), and the products of which can then be sold on the open market, which undercuts and drives small businesses out of operation.

Prison labor has touched and destroyed countless American industries, and has genuinely done more damage to the idea of a "free market" than every Communist on the planet combined. How exactly does one compete against a business whose cost-basis is quite literally the cost of Nutriloaf?

Funkwhale works nice, but honestly, I am a big fan of just using mpd and piping the audio over a networked speaker, but I'm a simple boy with simple needs.

What, do you want me to hang around the paraplegic wing of the hospital? This is way safer for everyone involved.
