I’ve been thinking about something my college physics professor said. “The universe gravitates towards chaos and destruction. That’s why it takes orders of magnitude longer to create something useful than it is to destroy that same thing. It’s the story of all life everywhere.”

Project 2025 is dangerous not for the immediate effects but its long term effects. It will take years if not decades to restore faith in our vaccine board. Years to restore our faith in any sort of government action. Decades to restore our relationships with our allies.

Bearing in mind that we vote for our representatives every two years and we keep voting for people like Trump.

We are at a cross roads. We will either purge our country of the alt right or we will become the next authoritarian country.

The window to choose which direction is closing fast.

Was it?

“drug and violence” are dog whistles for “black and Hispanic”.

Statistically, drug use is about the same regardless of race but non-whites are prosecuted far more often than their white counterparts.

From the looks of it the characters have thrusters to allow them to move in zero G.

Not exactly jetpack but pretty damn close

Not just any spring water. It has to be from Nestle’s Eternal Springs.

TIL that Cas Anvar got fired. Damn…

Of the principle characters, I felt like he was one of the stronger actors, with Amos (Wes Chatham) being the strongest.

I recently did a rewatch of The Expanse and as much as I enjoy it generally, I felt like the last season was meh.

The grit was gone and felt like the show rushed near the end.

Maybe it’s just me though.

I’ll do you one better: we should have return free filing: the government sends you a bill saying what they think you owe. If you agree, you send them a check. If you don’t agree, you send in your paperwork.

Most countries have figured this out.

Our entire Internet, the backbone of all encryption, all runs on open source software.

It is more secure because people can see and audit the code.

Let me flip what you wrote:

Our military equipment already is vulnerable. We just don’t know how badly because it’s not open source.

Prove it’s secure by releasing the code.

“He’s autistic!”

I could only watch this show after Trump first left office. TV is meant to be an escape, not a documentary.

I want to watch the last season but I’m going to need to wait until after the revolution.

So long as he didn’t lie to his investors. Because that’s what matters.

Trump isn’t being given anything.

He is ordering the military to do the parade. This isn’t even about the military.

Trump is doing this to show his followers that he owns the libs. That he is powerful. Because, in a twisted sense, he is.

He is forcing DC to put on the parade. He’s forcing the government to pay for it. He’s forcing the residents to deal with the consequences.

This is about power projection.

We are in fascism times.

It really depends on the ripper. I’d say 9/10 times captions are included on most of my downloads.

It’s that 10th one that is super annoying and I have to wait for jellyfin to download them one by one from open subtitles.

I keep hammering home: instance doesn’t matter when you start. It’s more important for you to join. Once you join, you’ll figure out the instance and then you can switch.

This is going to be another Panama files isn’t it? Overwhelming evidence that billionaires are shits and world governments everywhere collectively do fuck all about it.
