Disagree. I don’t see any other politicians joining Bernie on a fuck the establishment tour. AOC may be the Bernie of this current moment in history and purity tests are how we got saddled with the current shit stains.

Hell yeah dude(ette)! We got this!!

Signal-gate wasn’t just about someone adding a reporter to a fucked up group text but their use of signal for its forced message expiration ability. Nothing remains or exists if they’re removed 2-weeks later.

Just wait till they ruin those national parks by mining and developing real estate in them!

Grindr servers always seem to crash during Republican gatherings. 🤔

And who was in charge for both? The Bigly Deal Guy and Serial Rapist, tRump! How coincidental!

Same reward Charlie Kirk earned!

I heard this in G-man’s voice from the first two or three words!

Why don’t the make like a tree and get the fuck out of here!

I also know how to bear arms and use they’re, there, and their! I work in higher ed (state school), as staff, and not even some of my colleagues get them right! Thank you for noticing!

🐻💪

Hear hear!

In the words of the Virgin Mary, come again?

Other than to fuck off!

If Mamdani was a start, and if AOC runs, I could see these two panicking!

First I thought, wouldn’t it be Good vs. Ross? Then I realized you didn’t mean to refer to her last name in this case. I kind of like the thought of using her last name to play up the comparison, regardless!

Been wondering for a while if it was worth sticking around on this plane of existence. Feeling like nothing was going to get any easier or better, wondering if my life would just be watching horror rafter horror until the tech I loved stop working and the world went dark as they came for me and mine.

Then I saw Benn Jordan’s Anarchist Gift Guide video and realized the same thing as you: I may not have a lot of skills to offer the world, but I’m neurodivergent, a sysadmin for higher ed, and (used to, at least) like to tinker. I realized my disdain for the humanitarian and moral failings of the system we currently reside in could be married to my hobbies and feel like I was doing something more than just protesting, donating, and waiting to die.

My goals are to fix up my home environment, get my 3D printers working, set up an exercise area, set up a Meshtastic relay and other support networks for my local area, update a media server for friends and family to enjoy, including a request system, and do anything else along the way the provide a system of communication and sanity that removes as much reliance on the government and corporations as I can.

It finally got me to fix some bugs in existing services I already manage and this weekend my wife and I are starting the work on the exercise room, for the benefit of our bodies. Not saying Benn’s video saved my life, but it gave me a purpose, again, in a world that feels increasingly aimed at reducing me to a sad data point on some graph. I hate what this world has become and avoid social media at all costs, but now I can do something locally that will feel like I’m doing something to help.

I have a particular set of skills that make me a nightmare for groups like ICE. I just need coffee, my ADHD meth, and some weed gummies to see it through. Thanks for posting this! I will save it and refer to it as I go.

And it really can help with creativity. I use it all the time to make LEGO MOCs.

I also think about the first Jack Reacher movie. Where Tom Cruise’ character asks them if they’re ‘sure they want to do this’ right before wiping out a bunch of dudes 5:1.

She was given conflicting commands, one to move the car and one to get out of the car.

Thank you! She was attempting to comply with one, while the other was trying to abduct her, and probably saw the third guy right as he pulled the trigger.

Like I’m an ex boxer, and even I avoid street fights at all cost!

You probably saw Con Air and don’t want to end up in Nicholas Cage’s role from that movie, I’d reckon, as well!
