this is an explicitely nazi administration and anyone who still supports them should be viewed as such

Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

Froggie vs. ICE: The asymmetrical symbol of a failing authoritarian state.

You’ve seen the video.
An inflatable frog at a Portland protest.
Unarmed. Unbothered. Unapologetically absurd.
And ICE panics.

They fire pepper spray up a frog caricature's ass.

The frog wins.

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

I suppose an upside of these inflatables is that they probably function pretty well as paintball armor

if every democrat doesn’t use the “we took freedom of speech away” on every messaging apparatus they have every single day for the next 4 years assume they want to lose

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

Plenary authority, the dictator phrase that caused Stephen Miller to stop talking

Miller suggests Trump wields absolute power over decisions to send in the National Guard, before suddenly stopping speaking in an awkward interview moment

Free trade worked basically as advertised - the problem is that anti-traders get to argue from an imaginary world of 1920s ads and free traders have to defend the real world

"you can't be mean to computers because they feel nothing" yes you can be mean to anything. you can make your life all about hating an object. you can rage all day against it, fill your little heart with contempt, let it shape you into a different person. they still feel nothing tho.

Took a bit of tuning the #3dprinter exhaust fan to keep the chamber temp steady and it looks like the toolhead board runs about 40c hot which I don't love but we're dead steady at about 50c in the print chamber and the part's looking good. A nice comeback from a couple failures earlier today.

A time series chart showing the tool temperature and the tool controller board temperatures, all of which are dead steady
