Aren’t prophets basically god using a VPN?

Next up: Congress and/or the Supreme Court overturns the Freedom of Information Act on the grounds it compromises national security and hurts their feelings.

Okay, but what the literal fuck.

Someone with a shred of ethics on this ethics committee better fucking leak this.

That’s not the reason, though. Imperfect witnesses are quite often at the heart of criminal cases – co-conspirators, jailhouse informants, etc. If that was an obstacle, no mobsters or drug lords would ever have been convicted.

The real reason is cronyism and political privilege.

Interesting thought, but there are a few problems with this:

• The antichrist was supposed to be a genius military tactician. Trump isn’t a genius anything.
• The biblical Armageddon wasn’t meant to be a prediction of the distant future, but was prophesied to happen within the lifetime of the original apostles, so 2,000 years ago.
• The general scholarly consensus is that the Nero was meant to be the antichrist, and that the whole story was descriptive rather than prescriptive.

It’s a fun theory, though.

Lemmy and BlueSky (primarily Lemmy).

BlueSky’s mobile app is such a clone of twitter, transitioning is nearly seamless for the average user. I tried mastodon at first, but it felt pretty rocky and different (and I’m rather techy).

Between BlueSky and Voyager for Lemmy (I was an Apollo user on Reddit), my user experience hasn’t changed at all – except for the pleasant lack of bots and Nazis on both platforms.

I was hoping the Knowledge Fight guys would get it, but this is pretty great, too.

I hope Alex’s cat shits in his shoes.

Nah, they’ll just kill NASA outright and transition to SpaceX.

I expect Madge to get the Dept of Homeland Security.

No, what we sat through was the pre-show with puppets and clowns. Next up is the twisted, gore-filled main event. They’ve been beating the elephants and starving the lions. There will be carnage.

His biggest qualification is he has potential criminal cases he needs gone, just like trump does. Their interests are perfectly aligned. Gaetz will erase all traces of trump’s crimes and evidence without needing to be asked, right after he does the same for himself.

I’m on Voyager and can see it. They pushed a new update the day before yesterday, and a few things broke for me till I updated (inline images).

Updating your app might fix it.

Isn’t this how it always is, though?

Of course those affected turned out. We always do. We’re often getting tear-gassed when 98% of people aren’t even aware a demonstration is happening.

The whole problem is a great many people can’t believe there’s an issue until it affects them, personally.

That’s the heart of it all. If this author had ideas on how to fix that, we’re all ears. Not sarcasm – we’ve been working on that for a very long time.

Porque no los dos?

Oligarchs should know by now not to stand near upper floor windows.

Kamala Harris recently painted Donald Trump as a fascist. Not to be outdone, the demagogue and convicted felon called Harris a fascist, a communist and stupid.

Well, one of them is stupid.

Someone who was already president once should know enough about politics to know you can’t be a fascist and a communist – they’re diametrically opposed: communism is far left and fascism is far right.

It’s the victim-blaming mentality of an abusive relationship.

‘If the left hadn’t burnt the dinner, the right wouldn’t have hit them.’ We brought this on by not being perfect.

Fuck that. Fascism does not ask permission. It actively foments and exploits any weakness, like a predator, then gaslights you into thinking it’s your fault.

Could the left do better? Absolutely. But that doesn’t mean we deserve the fascism that’s been testing the fences like velociraptors for decades, eroding education and the media, sowing misinformation, conspiracy, and discord, and cultivating mistrust and apathy on a scale never before seen.

They need us to blame ourselves, to stay divided, and to point our fingers everywhere but at them. We need to stop making excuses for them.

Blame the fascists for fascism.

I have no choice at this point. I’m fully disabled, and most of my friends and family died within the last few years, so I have no support network.

I’m already struggling to survive, having to choose between food and medicine, and am overdrawn every month. All my savings are gone. I have literally no money to my name, and have been barely staving off homelessness for months. I rely completely on social services now, which trump has vowed to cut.

I will not survive this administration. My fellow Americans have voted for me to die.

That Flynn wasn’t recalled to service to be court-martialed is a travesty.

He’s literally said he will do this.

If you thought journalism was bad before, when they were only compromising their standards for money, just watch now that it’ll be money and threats.
