  • Trump Signals He Might Ignore the Courts | Yesterday, the president said that no judge “should be allowed” to rule against the changes his administration is making.

  • This is the step where the cart goes over the top of the hill, you're not coming back if this starts.

    Hard to hear, but if goes forward, this does signal that it's breaking windows time. We all have a Luigi line, start really considering where yours is...

    Especially if you're young, and they are doing this before you have been able to establish your own career or a family of your own, the rest of the world needs your strength and energy in these moments. Make no mistake, they are threatening you directly, they want to sell your future for a small profit added to the pile they are hoarding. Decide how hard you want to fight against that

  • The REMNANTS of the US would be fucked without the regular contributions of CA and tech folks based in WA. Most (or is it all?) red states are net takers (pull more from government than they contribute back) while publicly whining about welfare. Fuck around and find out....

  • As Sony exits, Verbatim doubles down on optical media — stable supply of discs is a "top priority" despite shrinking market

  • Work to preserve physical media across all your entertainment. You give away your leverage as a consumer with every stream and digital "purchase" (because of course you legally own nothing digital from these companies, you lease the right to access them, until that company decides you no longer get that access, see Sony)

  • DAE feel a bit out of the pop culture loop using Lemmy as their primary social media?

  • You want to be on a bigger instance, like Lemmy.World. Always room to grow, but closer to what you're wanting these days

  • Trump says he has directed Treasury to stop minting new pennies, citing cost

  • Remember, when you see these little nothing "wins" it's just meant to soften you up for a bigger piece of shit you're about to be forced to swallow. Like when a few of the trump supreme court justices pretend to vote on the side of reason to claim they contain multitudes. They [crying] love beer, boofing in the devil's triangle, being under his eye, going on billionaire kompromat vacations and dismantling the society you're trying to care for your family within.

  • Why are institutions bowing to Trump's illegal anti-trans orders?

    Jump

  • Because we're terrified that society is crumbling, so we try to follow rules to feel some kind of order.

  • Nancy Mace repeatedly shouts anti-trans slur in House hearing: 'I don't really care‘

    Jump

  • My point with Mace is her transition on public stance - she ran in part on a more tolerant, realistic view than most. I don't remember rowling speaking of any tolerance before she showed herself as a villain - she just went from quiet to loud.

  • We need to speak more regularly about how these people obviously have kompromat on them and are being actively blackmailed - no sympathy as they are garbage humans regardless, but these changes in stance are so swift and violent. These people often have a history of not caring or even supporting these issues, before they become over the top, performative hate mouthpieces - it's so obvious that they were basically told by Republican operatives at some point, "you're gonna do what we say or we are going to fucking end your pleasant life". Again, no sympathy there because the underlying subtext is that these people do shit horrible enough that they can be blackmailed with it. But this is Mace as recently as 2023:

    "I'm pro-transgender rights," she told CBS News' The Takeout in May 2023. "I'm pro-LGBTQ." The Republican lawmaker made the comments while saying she opposed gender-affirming care for minors. "Sex change surgery, the hormone blockers that sterilize our children, we shouldn't be doing that," Mace said. "Now, if they want to take on a different pronoun or a different gender identity, or grow their hair out, or wear a dress, or wear pants, or do those things as a minor, those are all things that I think most people would support. Be who you want to be, but don't make those permanent changes when it's a child," she added.

    Not a perfect position by any means, but centuries away from what she is today.

    And here is after she was first elected in '21:

    She was one of the only Republicans to sponsor the Serving Our LGBTQ Veterans Act in 2021, which proposed establishing a Center for LGBTQ Veterans within the Department of Veterans Affairs. That same year, she even called for “transgender equality” while asserting herself as a pro-LGBTQ+ rights lawmaker. “I strongly support LGBTQ rights and equality,” Mace told the Washington Examiner. “No one should be discriminated against.” “It isn’t a black-and-white issue,” Mace added. “I do believe that religious liberty, the First Amendment, gay rights, and transgender equality can all coexist. I’m also a constitutionalist, and we have to ensure anti-discrimination laws don’t violate First Amendment rights or religious freedom.”

  • Yeah, you can still get something from the odd crank, but used to be much more practically useful for day to day needs.

  • What is a skill that youhave that you don't get to use very often?

    Jump

  • What I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you.

    I am able to recite toy commercials and obscure TV theme songs from 90s kids shows with surprising accuracy, many decades past consuming them - Crossfire, Creepy Crawlers, James Bond Jr. Denver the Last Dinosaur... I'm your guy. I don't watch these things deliberately to learn them and haven't seen them since organically seeing during childhood, they just start playing in my head on the smallest triggers, music and lyrics, verbatim.

    This is what the inside of my head is like, all the time

  • God... remember how fucking simple craigslist was when it hit it's peak? The fact that Grandpa could take a shaky flip phone picture and post a thing you needed right around the corner, no fat or other frivolous horseshit...

    Craigslist is still simple last I checked, but the user base left and now dominated by spam from retail and drop shippers masquerading as local people selling goods from their garage.

    Nothing gold can stay
