My keeper for the day: "Fascists don't deliver tax cuts, only misery."
Remember that when some electoral candidate is offering to cut your taxes.
Taxes are a way for all of us to get 'volume discounts' on health care/transportation systems/education/infrastructure.
You want that cut?
Wait until they’re disappeared.

Conservatives always find out too late that fascists don’t deliver tax cuts, only misery.
That's where many are right now: Those with so MUCH money they have no idea what it's like to live on anything less than 6 digit income. . .
"a lifetime of frugality being erased by greed."
Our insurance costs (home, health and auto) have gone up substantially this year. The increase is equivalent to some people's mortgages. I don't know how people are surviving this. Talking a lifetime of frugality being erased by greed.

Bruh do you even know how awesome libraries are? I’m *in a library* right now, in a study carrel, and it’s colder than the hubs of hell but it’s quiet and I can’t see other people.

Thank glob for libraries.

RR ALWAYS comes up with good advice/good posts.

I'd do this if had a clue what a lock screen was, how to get at it, AND how to edit it to put on contact info.
Surely there are other ppl at the same stage of technological ignorance as we are?
Found a phone in the snow on my bike to yoga.

This is my PSA to tell you that you should put some kind of contact info on your lock screen and setup an emergency contact so that it is possible to contact you or somebody you trust to get your phone back.

Techies!

Do you know of a customisable interactive app one could use in their LARP for communication, resource management, puzzles, etc.?

I’ve looked at LarpManager but it doesn’t have a character manager or communication feature.

I want to use this with and between players in game and out.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Danielle Smith lies again!

When asked about her abuse of the notwithstanding clause, Danielle Smith defended the decision by claiming the Supreme Court ruled that possession of child pornography was acceptable.

The Supreme Court never said that.

"These people deserve each other. Not enough neurons among them to power a fruit fly."

Now added to 'a brain the quarter of a gnat' self deprecation.
Quarter b/c when 4 of us get together we can actually MAKE informed decisions.

Many Qs about sketchy bkgrnds of individuals so why THIS revolt?
Sooo…we’re not willing to get in our giant fuck politicians trucks when the government actually and literally takes away rights from citizens but we’re excited to reject rally over …*checks notes* OSTRICHES?

You absolutely have the constitutional right to record ICE, Border Patrol, or any law enforcement officer in public, and with everything happening in Charlotte right now, people need to understand that clearly.

Somehow, a double post telling stories like this should be able to be seen all at once, rather than showing up as a mini thread. This by @kriswernowsky.com .
Sad that such good people as the recipe baker were preyed upon by the likes of Swaggart and old time religious Sunday media types.
