Just last night I caught the classic Deep Space Nine ep Past Tense pt 1, where Sisko has to explain to Julian that America never fully faced its racist past, leading up to the situation in the 2020s where they shoved all the poor folks into “sanctuary zones” you couldn’t leave.

This is the result of a lot of people pretending racism is one of the greatest taboos in our culture while failing to address racism substantively. People are appalled by the idea of being called racist while being totally committed to upholding racism throughout society.

Every time a Democrat gets caught on tape saying like “Some Trump voters are racist” we have a national scandal and JD Vance demands an entirely new kind of apology and meanwhile every Republican group chat is like “Good morning fellow SS members. Who’s ready to respect Hitler today?”

Gen X here who studied dumbfucks like Limbaugh in the 90s: they’ve always been this way in my lifetime. This gaslighting has no effect on me.

They have 100% always been this way, though notably the transition from helicopter rides and referencing crushing minorities abroad humorlessly transitioned to nazi shit, but like that's basically a new layer of paint instead of a new perspective.

For those tempted to say Young Republicans have always been this way, they really have not. When I worked on campus and did bipartisan college events after, they were very much not like this.
That's why groups like YCT and eventually TPUSA formed -because Young Republicans weren't radical enough.

The end of Windows 10 support is going to be an environmental and security disaster, an egregious example of planned obsolescence that doesn't have to be this way:

The End of Windows 10 Support Is an E-Waste Disaster in the Making

In an example of egregious planned obsolescence, as many as 400 million computers will soon hit the waste stream.

By now, foreign governments must have put their least effective and competent spies on the job of spying on us. It's just too easy.

Currently on a flight to Japan watching a Pentagon Assistant Press Secretary (Riley Podleski) work on a document in the open on her laptop. She spent the last hour copy and pasting headlines from articles critical of the Administration’s hostility toward the 1st amendment.

I have little faith in scotus but I do know that autocracy often fails because it treats the electorate like cattle.

TODAY at 10AM ET: The Supreme Court will hear arguments in a case that could strike down a key part of the Voting Rights Act, and potentially give the GOP at least 19 more U.S. House seats that were directly created by the provision. https://bit.ly/4q7aQ7D

“A clarinet player was arrested after playing her instrument to the tune of the “Ghostbusters” theme song outside of a Portland ICE facility…She has since been taken to a jail in Washington as her husband and bandmates demand answers about her arrest.”

WTF was she transported to a different state?

Musician playing ‘Ghostbusters’ outside ICE facility is arrested by agents

‘Taking us citizens out of state to detain them without charge is a new action from the Feds and should be opposed,’ her band said

Facebook messenger currently has a bug on iOS where the keyboard blocks the text entry field for a message because it wants you to add more people to the chat? It’s amateur hour. First year app bug. No excuse from a bajillion dollar surveillance company. But they also don’t give a shit about us.

If you want to stretch your food dollar try looking up some of the thousands of budget cooks on YouTube. From “hobo” food tricks to vegan smart shopping, there’s a bit of everything.
Just uh, don’t cook with chef Henry.
