We all know who was responsible. This was a blatant attack by maga, plain and simple. There will be no real investigation from the government or police, and they want us to know that.
If you’re looking for something to do to feel less powerless, gear up to stay safe. Get cameras, fire extinguishers, defense materials, anything helps. The more of us that are prepared the safer we all are.
It’s tricky. Currently we are in a bubble, but we’re also on track for massive inflation so shorting could still lose even if number goes up. I would sell everything and buy land or REITs.
I don’t see why either side is trying to disown the dude. He turned himself in. That’s so brave, and the right thing to do regardless of affiliation.
Which of these should be contested and which should be validated?
Identities don’t really need to be either validated or contested, especially if the person didn’t ask for it. Validation will likely win you more friends, though.
Obv use their preferred names and pronouns to be respectful, as with any person. But beyond that, there’s really no need to get involved in their identity at all. It’s a deeply personal thing and it’s unlikely they’ll change it for anyone other than themselves.
I’m not necessarily autistic, but when I tell people I’m neurodivergent, they’re like “yup” 😓

I’m getting tired of this back and forth. This bickering is childish and our time would be better spent drumming up positive interest for ranked choice voting.
You know, a non-zero number of conservatives don’t even know what Biden looks like. We could probably get them to blindly distribute that picture amongst themselves by telling them it’s Biden.
I think that’s very evocative phrasing for a less-than-productive message. It sounds like saying “we’re doomed anyway”, which is what the fascists want us to say.
Privacy matters. I’ve worked at tech companies and many of them (Amazon excluded) honor their privacy policies. Especially companies with a presence in the EU or in based in California
To those reading, feeling like there is no good in the world is a serious sign of depression. If you’re looking for a sign to talk to a professional, consider this it
The NYT is trying to get access to all chat logs including private ones and ones that the user requested be deleted? Yeah, no that’s really bad, please let’s not celebrate that.
That private data could include things that would out trans people, immigrants, and other marginalized groups to a government that is actively building concentration camps.
I don’t care about this drama over which billionaire copied another billionaire’s stuff. This request is unacceptable and needs to be stopped. Can we counter sue the NYT for breach of private data?
In 1954, President Dwight Eisenhower signed the Communist Control Act into law. In theory, this outlawed the Communist Party of the United States and banned communists from serving in certain roles.
WTF
[It passed because] many opposed communism because of its explicitly declared and historically demonstrable goal to undermine liberal democracy. In the words of Ernest van den Haag, there was “no place in democracy for those who want to abolish [it] even with a peaceful vote”.

The irony of using it here would be palpable
Thank you for your service brave memer
That write up is much more than just “don’t vote.” It’s about fully withdrawing from the system and rejecting citizenship, including all of the things that come with it, like paying taxes and owning private property.
If someone pays taxes, legitimizes the government, and also doesn’t vote… Then that’s likely the worst of both worlds from the author’s perspective.

The big symptom unique to burnout is anger. Ultimately leading to blowing up at coworkers. If you’re not experiencing that it’s probably not burnout.
Depression and ADHD might be good thing to check for.
People are scared of saying good things about Biden because it makes them a target for tankies and republicans.
No need to be threatening swatting people please
