Could it be because he’s screwed over everyone he’s ever met and frequently never pays his bills?

Excuse me if I find your criticism disingenuous and as duplicitous as the criticism you accuse the media of having when you admit this small media outlet isn’t responsible for doing the thing you go on to be critical of yet continue to use it as a platform for your criticism regardless.

for those wondering, the (fictional) laser in the 1985 film Real Genius that could vaporize a human target from space was 9.4 megawatts.

you know what’s really funny? of the 40 counts on the indictment, Trump is charged with 14. Rudy? 15.

the only way to stop him is throw him in jail for contempt which Trump knows they’ll never do— so he’ll never stop. The worst the court has the guts to do to him I stop fine him, and that only means his dumbass followers will be directly (further) funding the witness tampering/harassment and incitements to violence.

of course, they dehumanize and degrade these kids further by referring to their names as merely “nicknames” they have to be approved to use, making sure you know that they’re in control and stripping as much dignity as they can from the kids and parents in the process. as always, the cruelty is the point.

why the hell should any school have control over someone’s name? fuck them.

it’s fascism.

I find the idea of giving Pence one iota of credit for any of that to be profane in the extreme, but if it turns out to be true… ugh… I suppose I would have to. I also don’t believe his motivations would have been anything other than self-serving.

still, gross. he’s such a terrible person.

he won’t even pay his rent or his own legal bills… he stiffs his own employees on severance packages. he’s lying if he promises anything.

i don't think you're misremembering it, it's just that there was a huge commercial push to quash the idea of a "communist internet" that would cut them out of the business by sharing cheap/free internet service. plus, the tech evolved.

but the idea of mesh wifi didn't die. in several major cities, mesh wifi/internet solutions exist. NYC Mesh, for example, is the local mesh network here in NYC:

We are a diverse group of volunteers dedicated to ending the digital divide and extending high-speed, reliable internet to all New Yorkers. You can help by joining our community network to get online, volunteering to connect neighbors or grow the network, and donating to improve our community infrastructure and ensure access for all.
