FUCK YOU.

STRONGLY WORDED LETTER TO FOLLOW.

Well, put your hand on your head like you would a mouse. If you push forward what happens? You look down. There’s no “correct” way here.

He could’ve shown up at the Supreme Court holding a shotgun with “OFFICIAL ACTS” engraved down the barrel, but noooo

I rather quite like the marshmallow version.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authoritarian_capitalism

Authoritarian capitalism, or illiberal capitalism, is an economic system in which a capitalist market economy exists alongside an authoritarian government. Related to and overlapping with state capitalism, a system in which the state undertakes commercial activity, authoritarian capitalism combines private property and the functioning of market forces with restrictions on dissent, complete lack of freedom of speech or significant limits on it, and either a lack of elections or an electoral system with a single dominant political party.

Next stop, elimination of the Democratic party.

oh, tots and pears

CSI: Shrewsbury

The only reason they are not shooting Democrats in the streets is because they don’t need to. The regime is consolidating power while Democrats go to work, producing wealth that the regime can steal, it’s a win/win. The media on the left is a couple of years behind the right at this point. While the right acknowledges “we are at war”, the left is still trying to make peace while their position is eroded daily. The war has already started and the regime is winning.

This is exactly why I can only laugh and shake my head at the everyday fascists like Connor Estelle who think they will always be in the in-group. Fascism eats society from the outside in until there is nothing left.

It doesn’t matter any more what the Supreme Court has previously ruled. Speech is protected if it supports the regime and not protected otherwise. Things are moving quickly now.

It’s the propaganda they have been exposed to. They believe what they are told but have a very difficult time walking through any logic that got them there (hint: there isn’t any) especially in the face of facts. They will usually deny any facts that do not lead to their conclusion.

Ask a Trump supporter what core American values he upholds and you can almost hear their mind grinding gears.

This one they can convince their base to blame the ‘radical left’, and so they can ratchet up the political violence. They are taking a dive like a professional football player.

Why, did America cheat on you with the local gym manager?

Every time I’ve checked in to see if I can use Apple Music, it won’t do anything without a subscription. Are you using it without one?

The parallels with the Dotcom bust continue. Dreamweaver would barf up copious amounts of horrendous HTML that we would get paid decent amounts to clean up. A huge waste, really, but we have forgotten the lesson.

Yes! You’ve nailed what I’ve been thinking about. The valuable parts of my work are on a whiteboard with boxes and arrows, not typing code. LLMs are great to use like an interactive reference.

Every ray of sunshine has a silver lining, I suppose.

On holiday, I’ll turn on my router’s auto-reboot option to reboot daily.
