Countries thinking they can control the influence of the internet is just so fucking frustrating. Hopefully the US doesn't get the same idea.

I saw on the news last night that here in Philly, there were almost 70 arrests by city police of a group of union demonstrators doing an organized sit-in. When they were hauling one middle-aged black lady away, the news shoved a microphone in her face and asked if it was worth it. She just replied, "solidarity forever." ✊🏻

Yup. I hope she stays safe. She seems especially sane.

It's never too late to enter carpentry. I know quite a few programmers who do carpentry as their main hobby. Something about the math and the amount of careful planning is highly transferrable, I guess.

Eugh. I am not sure how comfortable I am with a world where Xi Jingping is considered the more trustworthy party.

Am I nuts, or would legal coke just result in people switching to meth and other amphetamines?

Idk. I have watched people discover Darknet markets for years now, and the most common line of thinking that I see whenever someone tries good cocaine for the first time is "I wish I could sustain this feeling for longer, and cheaper." Everyone is always eventually disappointed by what cocaine can offer.

I got banned after 15 years for asking why we can't organize to cyberbully Trump's current head of social media: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Cheung_%28political_advisor%29?wprov=sfla1

This was in response to the White House calling Garcia a terrorist on their Twitter account.

I truly do not understand what it will take for my fellow Americans to become aware.

I assume that at this point, an unhealthy amount of Americans find politics distasteful and they try their best to avoid it — people who are just as affected by it as I am!
