With glabal warming and fossil fuels being what they are, this also doesn’t need to be a metaphor. Could be pretty literal.

Republicans spend a decade gaining supermajorities in state legislatures and packing the judiciary with republican judges.

Democrats spent a decade celebrating Hillary Clinton’s imminent election.

Democrats drive the truck. Republicans man the water canon.

I think he can tell the difference between the thing spewing shit and the thing being splattered by it.

His supporters can’t though.

Just so everyone here knows, these pictures do not need to be mutually exclusive. You can do both.

I get excited every time I hear a helicopter, but I work right next to a hospital, so it’s immediately tainted by the knowledge that someone in that helicopter is probably experiencing the worst day ot their life.

When I used to work with kids, if they wanted to know how long it would be until something, and they wouldn’t take “I don’t know” as an answer, I always said 15 minutes. Short enough that they’d stop asking, but long enough that they would go off, do something else, and forget about it.

2 weeks folks.

Itsy bitsy rainbow in the sky.

It’s Halo.

Is this not just God keeping his promise not to Flood the earth again? Who’s the heretic now?

Les Miserables is a bit over the top, but if you live in the USA, you live in one of the most incarcerated societies ever. You can absolutely look the other way, but odds are good they get tackled by some jumped up mall cop, get a couple days in jail, lose their job, lose their kids.

The ramifications of stealing a loaf of bread can still be absurd. If you are able, step outside your comfort zone and offer to help.

Nah, unless you’re as dumb as a rock, no matter how shiny, this is not a question you ask unless you’re 100% sure of the answer.

OK, derailing slightly. There is nothing I hate more than going to a restaurant and getting a cardboard straw for a plastic cup with a plastic lid.

It’s almost as infuriating as seeing people who still somehow wear masks incorrectly.

They’re fortunate sons.

Nah, if there’s anything I’ve learned, it’s that 99% of people/companies/businesses follow the “if I made money yesterday, and I made money today, I’ll make money forever” rule. Greed is fundamentally short-sighted.

The root of the argument here is that billionaires are not a sign of economic success, even for the individual. It’s an enormous shortcoming, failure, and monument to greed.

To playing League, you don’t need a gaming computer though. It will run on a pile of cat shit, but it is a waste of the cat shit.

There are plenty of people with solar panels and wells. The beauty of the internet and mobile compute is having the wealth of human knowledge at your fingertips. It’s DIY, but easy. Just Google it (RIP Google). If the goal is centralization and control, chat with IBM. They have their place, but it was a slow crawl out of the muck they put themselves in. Someone will always come along and realize that ease and accessibility are key to the end user, and they’ll kick your whole business out from under you, every time.

Awesome. Be the change you want to see.

The thing that’s wrong with socialism is that we’ve spent almost 100 years teaching everyone’s uncle that it’s bad to give him a conversation topic that was tangentially related to WW2.

Because manifesto gets type-cast as crazy.

Ha! I have a Framework 13 from their first run. It’s my only real gripe with it. Downward firing speakers are dumb on a laptop.
