When the fed starts respecting the law, people will.

I've been reading "Great Short Stories by Contemporary Native American Writers", which has been pretty good.

Establishment dems are 100% the kind of people who make excuses for abusive spouses hurting their kids. We need to get rid of everyone who's to the right of Sanders in the dem party. That dude is pretty much the only centrist in their 'leadership'

that's like shooting a $5,000 PC for clout...

 

I think they've got a new song out, too...

Last I checked most of this is illegal.

Ha! Yes, he was a very good guy. I was very sad when he retired.

It's been literally the point since the very start. Clearly and obviously. I can't wait to hear what justification the courts come up with to defend him.

Grade 6. I had the correct info on a book report (from the World Book Encyclopedia) but my teacher refused to accept them as correct. I "disrupted class" by telling her she was incorrectly giving me a D, and read the relevant passage from the encyclopedia.

Sent to the principal, who said "You're right, we'll have your grade changed, but go have a seat out there for a bit and wait so she doesn't feel insulted"

One of my truly radicalizing moments about speaking truth to power.

"Sticker Shock" Bro, it's not sticker shock when I have to literally stop eating entire classes of food because they're simply too expensive. I'm not like "wow, eggs are $8 a dozen", I'm like "guess no eggs, huh?"

Journalists are the most neolib softpeddlers I've ever seen.

They've been doing this since almost the beginning, but YES, they do not care.

I'd love to jump on this, and probably will when/if I can afford to.

 

Please be safe out there people, watch out for each other, and make sure to report these people if you find them. It's revolting that people like this exist, but Burqueños have had to deal with this junk forever.

Question for everyone - I'm looking to set up a dedicated pfsense firewall appliance + wifi, but it seems like 99% of the wifi routers are cloud managed anymore - recommendations for a decent modern one that is only managed internally? After my experiences with nest and tplink's cloud services stuff, I'm super leery of web reviews.

Obviously, something maintainable in keeping with R2R ethos, not some sort of cloud-locked remote-controlled stuff.

I'm sure that's going to take about 30 minutes before they begin to regret the videos coming out of it...

 

I'm excited to start at midnight tonight, but not sure if there's an active fedi group for it.

 

I write primarily on my Royal Futura 800, and I'm looking for some recommendations for what could be considered the "all time best portable typewriter ever". Mechnical or Electrical, under $1500 ideally. What would you folks consider to be the absolute best, by whatever metric? Best typeface, best action, best internals, best ergonomics, etc.

Best typeface, cleanest action, easiest to use, smoothest output, whatever your metric.

 

Excellent new album, the pre-order arrived really quick, too!

 
 
 

Air Canada has reached an agreement with the union representing 10,000 flight attendants to end a strike

 

“At such a critical stage, access to affordable, reliable electricity is paramount."

This is something we, as people, need to make clear that we support. Write people, share, and if you can, perhaps even donate.
A fundamental solarpunk ideal is that we can make a difference. That we can do things to make stuff better, no matter what billionaires or corporations or governments are trying to throw at us.

Well, here's a chance.
