the *vast majority* of that is based on steam going full-tilt into proton, though

i swapped to linux mint because as much fun as sending my every keystroke to an ai-feeding data center with w11 sounded i wanted to give linux mint a try and it's fine. a few mildly annoying things but nothing major. everything popular you want to use already has a wine setup for it or runs natively

we as a people have to realize that if you hold all the levers of government it's extremely easy to force the other side into damned-if-you-do-damned-if-you-don't situations and not fall into the trap

I saw myself as maybe all in for J.B. Pritzker

But I am losing faith, rapidly.

Police state fascism in America is bigger than Trump. It's backed by Democrats just like Republicans. And it's not going anywhere

Note: it's not even curfew yet.

State police just started pushing people off the business park corner. Here in the road, a brave group of demonstrators are attempting to hold their line.

the congressional republicans were *so* careful to write the reconciliation bill so that it doesn't really start hurting until 2026 or 2028 leaving them set up in a way to blame the democrats for the pain. but then donny wakes up from his nap and declares a 200% tariff on breathing starting nov. 1st

oh you covered it when i was typing lol. but yeah if you have 60 votes in congress (or 50+1 in a filibuster-nuking world) you can solve the supreme court very easily

at least that's what i was taught. i've slept since then

art 3 sec 2 outlines the court's power as being to adjucate inter-state controversies and stuff involving, and i quote, "ambassadors and other public ministers". *everything else* congress can say "fuck you" and pass a law to neuter

the constitution simply gives us a supreme court and circuit courts. all their power comes from marbury vs madison and the judiciary act of 1789 both of which can be overruled with a law passed by.....congress

that johnson is more terrified of seating a duly elected democrat who could force an epstein vote than having the entire government shut down really makes me wonder about that epstein vote tbh
