I'm ex-catholic not ex-JW but this is very relatable. It's so weird when Christians try to re-convince me to worry about the threat of hell I've already out grown.

I'd be an obvious act of war. Republicans and most average Americans would feel justified in joining with Russia to rip Ukraine in half in retaliation. Even Europe would be hesitant to defend Ukraine because we had all just seen the Ukrainian president (fatally?) assault the king of america on live television.
However, within the country I think if any national level democratic politician was serious about the threat posed by trump they should use their political position to get access to him and then tackle him and start punching. Obviously they'd go jail. Obviously there'd be a national scandal. But the dude is old a hard fall would kill him. In the long run, it'd do way more good than holding up a "this isn't normal" index card.
As best as I can remember, I'm on my 6th.
I am still using a flip phone. My new goal is to make it to 2027 marking two decades of rejecting the smartphone era. Each time I consider compromising something gets even more awful about smartphones and I double down on saying no.
"We support legal immigration!"

They make profit off of being a useless barrier that prevents customers from accessing money they've contributed to use towards their own healthcare. They do nothing of any real value. Their constant profit seeking kills people. Every single administrator in their company is killing people.
Luckily, they won't come after me because everything I said was true.
It really pisses me off when the cars are backed up but the person in the drive through still has to spend time doing land acknowledgements for each customer and asking them their preferred pronouns. /s
This is good to hear but we need to do everything we can to make each attempted deportation difficult. It's a shame that I don't know any undocumented immigrants to protect, and neither do you.
No officer, I wasn't speeding and crashing though the fence of the school playground. I was merely defying legal limits due to my alternative theories of automotive powers.
How about Uniformity, Segregation, and Adversity? I think we can get people on board with our new USA programs.
Alex Jones use to complain about transhumanists but now that they guy who actually wants to put computer chips in your brain has control of the federal government his top concern is... (literally looking a infowars right now)... oh god just constantly glazing trump. Also, zelensky is a warmonger who wants nukes.
This is more evidence for what I call "the meta conspiracy." I think conspiracy thinking has been actively promoted by the media and government in order to distract from actual government conspiracies. It both keeps people distracted with "UAPs" and "Adrenochrome" while also making any serious discussion of oligarchy, censorship, and oppression look ridiculous by association with crackpots.
That is unfair to claim they don't give a shit about genocide. Most of our representatives care deeply and are doing everything within the powers of the legislative branch...
...to support genocide. They fucking love it!
I'm glad Mexico and Canada are a united front on this, but I wish other potential targets would join in to hit the US economy hard and fast. The US can bully one or two countries at a time and probably has the economic momentum to come out on top. So this month it's Canada and Mexico but next month it'll be Denmark or Panama. But, if the EU, China, Mexico, Panama, Canada all implemented targeted tariffs within a week, the US would be forced to back down.
Wherever you are if you're a consumer outside of the US, I'd say give the US the BDS treatment right now.
I agree, arrest the cop too.
Wouldn't barely breaking even actually be exceptionally good in the history of twitter? I though it had been burning money from its conception.

I was trying to explain federated websites to a friend and she asked if there is a federated dating app. She recently went through a break up and the apps are dreadful as I'm sure many of you know.
It'd be hard to launch a dating system on the fediverse because it the type of service that relies heavily on network effects. People want to be on the dating app with the most people. However, I think there is an opportunity because the mainstream apps are so notoriously awful, monetized, and enshitified.
It could be a community within an existing network or it could be its own website. I don't know, I'm just putting the idea out there.

Expected to open in the historic Boone Theater in February 2026, the attraction will celebrate Black Americans' contributions to the film industry. The first class of inductees — including Oscar Micheaux, Harry Belafonte and Janelle Monáe — all have Kansas City ties.
