Very funny that for a certain type of conservative, their "great reckoning" mostly amounts to increasingly confusing Starbucks names
The "everyone is 12" thesis of American political dysfunction remains undefeated in 2026.

this means that organized labor is calling for a regional general strike yes, and there’s every reason to believe they can actually pull it off in Minneapolis inthesetimes.com/article/minn...
The Most Important Labor Story Right Now Is in Minnesota—It Might Be the Model We All Need
A strategic alignment of major networks of unions and community groups in Minnesota have worked together for more than a decade to leverage their collective power.

Not sure what you’re referring to, this is discussing the idea that body cams could improve the issues with ICE

We've let the party become so filled with rules obsessives (whose strongest conviction is that rules are good without much mind to what they mean or who they should protect) that the only weapons our opposition can possibly imagine using are investigations, citations, and slaps on the wrist

Like imagine someone you only kind of know at a party very seriously says "But doctor...I am pagucci" and you can't laugh

One time someone relayed the Pagliacci story to me and I was politely pretending I wasn't familiar but they kept saying "pagucci" instead of Pagliacci and I believe that me getting through the final line of that particular telling without laughing is one of mankind's great achievements

It's particularly galling to call for ICE to wear body cams when Renee Good's murder literally recorded the whole thing on his phone. He was so confident in his impunity as part of that organization that he recorded and allowed for the release of footage of him shooting a woman at point blank.

Our entire opposition party would rather live in a denial in a miserable system than accept the discomfort that would come with trying to change it
🚨NEWS: Senate Dems are reportedly offering ICE funding increases in exchange for body cams and de-escalation training for agents.
Body cams can be turned off. De-escalation training can be ignored.
Unclear if no masks, requiring ID badges, and no immunity is on the table.

The 2016 trend has made me positive that in 4 years we're going to have to deal with pandemic nostalgia and I'm just not ready for kids to start calling stuff Covid-core

I think at the time I hoped it would turn me into this like…cool adventurer guy that I wanted to be (or wanted to be seen as?) but instead showed me that I wanted a quieter, gentler, life than I’d built for myself up until that point, kinda nice how trying to force one thing can reveal another

Also had the funny side effect that after a handful of weeks of daily manual labor I came home weirdly muscular and nobody really knew what to do about it, including me

Cool thing to do when you’re 25 and kind of spiraling about what to do with your life, even if it did wipe out my bank account for a summer

Not particularly interested in revisting 2016 but that was the year I did a work exchange in Norway on a wool farm so I'll always take a chance to post da sheep

For the layman, what does that mean exactly? Like I'll never be able to buy RAM again?

people are acting like personal computers are going to stop being made before long and that just doesn't feel correct??

Can't tell if it's internet panic or not, should I finally buy a new computer (slightly overdue) because of incoming RAM shortages or will I be able to do that for awhile longer yet

Bovino seems evil enough to not be super fazed but you know some of those masked guys have to be starting to crack. Just walking around all day having people tell you that everyone in the city is imagining bad things happening to them...lotta stress for guys whose brains are the size of an egg

Might as well be saying "let's not make this harder than it needs to be" while the nazis run their swastikas up the flag poles

"Peaceful protest" as a concept only works when you're dealing with actual protests. These people are under attack. These are people whose family members are being beaten and killed. This isn't a call for "peaceful protest," it's a hand-wringing request for compliance with the new fascist regime.

There's a man who spent his night at the hospital because tear gas and flash bangs from the American government caused his six month old child to stop breathing. How is half of this directed at your own people, Tim?

This implies that these are protests more than self defense in an active warzone. There's a difference between encouraging people at a march not to do graffiti and saying that if a guy shoots explosives at your house you should just leave without resistance

This isnt a value judgement on marches (it is slightly on people constantly comparing this to pop cultural touchstones) but I think the time for protest actions that soothe us more than they disrupt them is kind of over
