This is our daily reminder that the Republican party has revoked the US Constitution in its entirety.

Next time, put it somewhere warm and moist and let it rise before you turn up the heat.

It’s a piece prize. In remembrance of all the pieces of Venezuelan civilians he’s filled the Caribbean with.

This is primarily because search engines have become so unreliable and enshittified that they are useless. It’s not a mark in favor of AI as much as a reminder of how bad search engines have become.

For the record I do the same thing after failing to find anything on DuckDuckGo after multiple attempts. Maybe I should give Kagi a try, but AI is making the entire internet worse, so I feel pessimistic about that, too.

Which is why Israel is making sure there are no Palestinians left. Their solution is a final solution.

Framework has been financially supporting far-right neo-nazi developers. When they were asked for an explanation by the community they didn’t say “we condemn hate and will look into that” — instead this is what they said.

We deliberately create a big tent, because we want open source software to win. We don’t partner based on individuals’ or organizations’ beliefs, values, or political stances outside of their alignment with us on increasing the adoption of open source software.

It works fine for both NVIDIA and AMD GPUs. There’s a slight performance loss on Nvidia cards but not enough that you will ever notice.

Next is milk, then sugar, then you beat him thoroughly and put him in the oven.

The big tent has room for nazis and bigots, but scalpers is where they draw the line?

You’re fine. Live your life. Things will change. Sometimes they will change radically. It’s unavoidable because that’s life. As someone who has been married much longer than you’ve been alive (writing that hurt) my advice is this: if you are best friends, then it’s a perfect match. Stay best friends. Do everything in your power to remain best friends. Build each other up. Never tear each other down. Make each other better. Grow together.

Maybe it won’t work for any of a literally infinite number of reasons. Who cares? If you are best friends now then there is no reason to second guess. How far it goes and how well it goes is dependent first on the two of you and secondly on infinity. One of those you have power over, the other you don’t and so isn’t worth worrying about.

It’s easier when you aren’t getting dicked or licked while doing it. Not as much fun, but easier.

The show is only a year old, and it was genuinely great.

We’re not talking about the TV series, are we?

Stalin was extreme right, using leftist trappings to seize and consolidate power for himself as Lenin withered away.

Trotsky was leftist, but still a believer in the ML vanguard gamble that resulted in Stalin seizing power. Rightist means will almost always lead to rightist ends.

Tolstoy, being generally anti-state and anti-capitalist, was also leftist. His famous quote philosophically addresses the stability of any leftist movement.

There can be only one permanent revolution — a moral one; the regeneration of the inner man. How is this revolution to take place? Nobody knows how it will take place in humanity, but every man feels it clearly in himself. And yet in our world everybody thinks of changing humanity, and nobody thinks of changing himself.

The path to leftism and the methods to preserve it against rightism are very much the realm of philosophy.

The political compass is worse than an oversimplification, it’s propaganda.

The political compass is propaganda. There is no such thing as auth-left or lib-right. There is no division between social and economic axes.

The definition of the right-left spectrum is rooted in the french revolution. Rightism is about consolidating power and creating strict socio-economic hierarchies so the more-privileged can subject their will on the less-privileged, while leftism is about flattening those hierarchies to prevent anyone from subjugating others and ensuring equality and egalitarianism are maintained.

Whoever has power controls economy and vice-versa. Period. So rightism will always be authoritarian, hierarchal, and have a functionally captive economy. How benevolent this authoritarianism is toward the populace is meaningless as any liberty is an illusion provided at the pleasure of the more wealthy-powerful classes.

Liberalism arises from the willing abuse of an under-regulated economy that allows consolidation of wealth and, therefore, accumulation of power. Therefore the end result of unchecked liberalism is always rightism.

There are many forms of leftism, because leftism is about tearing down and preventing accumulation and consolidation of power. The goal is to prevent runaway snowballing of wealth or power that would allow any person or group to subjugate others, ideally in a way that is sustainable and stable. Therefore leftism is about personal liberty and freedom as long as it does not threaten to diminish or supersede the liberty or freedom of others.

The concepts cannot be separated. They travel together and influence each other directly. The political compass is merely an attempt to make “both sides” seem equivalent without addressing the actual cause-effect of wealth and power accumulation, which serves who? Rightists. Capitalists. Liberals. Those who would seek to selfishly hoard more power, privilege, comfort, and authority than everyone else at the expense of anyone else.

Yes.

This what happens when you dedicate your crop to Nurgle.

If Congress did something about it might highlight or stifle their own unethical profiteering.
