How does it make you feel to know that you voted for this?


No-fly list.
No-drive list.
No-walk list.
No-talk list
No muckraking journalist left to take stock of the wholesale omission of outside perspectives.

How does it make you feel to know that you voted for this?

Fuck this!

So much for your hopes and your dreams and your children.
You just sat there believing in this bullshit system.
Just wishing the mob would magically come to its senses.
How does it make you feel to know you just stood by and watched it?

Dazed.
Numb.
Powerless.
Stunned
While we frantically click our heels, already home.

The bands.
The sports.
The booze.
It's all that’s left of you.

When the cops and the courts refuse to confess the sins of the few, what is there left to do?

The answer's there right before your eyes:

Rise!

EDIT: Please tune into the news. Another person has been shot by ICE agents in Minneapolis and the federal and local authorities are working to again obfuscate the investigation.

I've seen a lot of photos showing the massive crowds gathered in Minneapolis today, but I want to remind folk that today was actually a day of economic blackout, and the protests and other events were there to help us bond, learn, teach, and share.

But the main show was actually the complete lack of activity and spectacle around the normal center of life: the economy.

We'll never get an honest accounting of how that went down, but I know in addition to the indie stores that shut down, a LOT of folk working corporate gigs didn't go to work today.

I think this photo, showing one of the main stretches of highway into the city, during what should be rush hour, instead showing a smattering of cars, is one of the better demonstrations of that part of today.

You can save yourself so much grief if you just reboot your WiFi router once a week.

If the firmware supports it, have it do it automatically for you.

Same with any device actually (you know this but I'm adding in case someone who sees this doesn't, or needs the reminder).

I have a Friday Afternoon Checklist that I sometimes follow (used to follow every Friday when I was in an office):

1. Delete anything in Downloads folder that is no longer needed.
2. Move everything else in Downloads folder to their rightful home.
3. Run Defrag (when I was using a Windows computer; now I use Mac)
4. Run CCleaner
5. Clean physical desk while CCleaner is running. That includes wipe down!
6. Restart computer.
7. Finish up work day
8. Restart router on the way out of the office.

bonus points if you recompile the firmware from a known good source at the same time! 😁

It’s funny how people say β€œgo big or go home” as if going home is a bad thing. Seriously, I’d love to go home, and I’m definitely planning to take a nap when I get there.

The world doesn't need help burning. It can't be saved. Save yourself. Never look back. There is no one still left here. Go.

That's fascist sht, right?

How do I block Threads, too? They're on ActivityPub?

Anything I should block on DFRN? I don't even know what that is but apparently Friendica uses it, too.



Trying something new


Checking out Friendica because Mastodon was running hella clunky on my ol' junker server
