When the nazis were coming into power, there was a lag before local law enforcement was fully on board. People were able to get police protection from nazi-aligned paramilitaries. Here, today, police look at rising fascism and say “Finally. We’ve been waiting for this.” www.notus.org/democrats/me...
Democrats' New Fear: They Can’t Rely on Local Law Enforcement for Protection
“They called the local sheriff; they showed up and were going to arrest me,” said Rep. Steven Horsford.

I think its cool and interesting seeing which indie game devs are updating their games because of the new Unity security vulnerability news

Like, even Blue Wizard Digital patched their Friday The 13th game which has been pulled from the digital store shelves. That's a good look.

“The scheme provides unconditional, regular payments to eligible artists and creative workers, allowing them to focus on their practice without the pressure of commercial viability.”

“A cost-benefit analysis by Alma Economics found that for every €1 invested, society receives €1.39 in return.”

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...
Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

COMIC: An Epic Battle
PANEL 1: The scene is from Lord of the Rings. The BALROG falls while GANDALF and his glowing staff falls next to him. BALROG: HEY. I just want you to know I feel bad about coming at you like that. You were ACTIVELY trying to leave… ACTIVELY trying to avoid trouble..but I “HAD” to stop you. PANEL 2: Closer up on the BALROG. BALROG: It’s my darn temper. I could tell you were trying to be a good role model for those kids. …Hobbits? Whatever they were. But still! I HAD TO MAEK THE MOMENT ABOUT ME. PANEL 3: Fufther back, we see the BALROG still falling, shoulders slumped. GANDALF and his glowing staff still falling next to him. BALROG: And, like even when you beat me ina. fair fight… I couldn’t let it go! I had to DRAG YOU DOWN WITH ME. MISERY LOVES COMPANY, I guess. PANEL 4: Close up on the BALROG as he continues. BALROG: And now I keep hearing my mom’s voice in my head: “Act the way you want to feel.” And dang it! I was ACTIGN UNKIND. And that ain’t the me I wanna be. PANEL 5: A tan paper-like background, with simple text: the balrog works through some stuff. ——— Want 5,000 more comics like this?

the best unpopular opinions make everyone mad but nobody hurt: a truly victimless crime

Narrator: T-REX SHARES HIS MOST UNPOPULAR OPINION: T-Rex: I think the cave paintings are pretty crappy! T-Rex: I'm sorry, but it's true! T-Rex: Their use of perspective is nonexistent, and sense of place is sketchy AT BEST!! Dromiceiomimus: Of COURSE they don't have good perspective: that hadn't been invented yet! They're CAVE PAINTINGS, T-Rex! T-Rex: I just think they could've tried harder to make good art, you know? Dromiceiomimus: THEY WERE LITERAL CAVE PEOPLE WHO HADN'T YET INVENTED PAINT! They were trying harder than any previous cave people in history!! T-Rex: I hear you, and I respect you, but you have to admit: they're HELLA amateurish. Utahraptor: What?! Utahraptor: Of course CAVE PAINTINGS are amateurish! They're done by people who haven't even invented HAVING JOBS yet, much less the job of PROFESSIONAL ARTIST! The WHOLE WORLD was amateurs!! T-Rex: I'm just saying - they could be better. I could do WAY better, no problem. Off panel: You have the benefit of literally THOUSANDS OF YEARS of EDUCATION and KNOWLEDGE and TECHNOLOGY!! T-Rex: YES! And you know what those thousands of years of education, knowledge, and technology tell me?? T-Rex: These guys SUCKED

Late Night Thoughts...

I want a small CRT again. A proper TV, not just a monitor (which I Still need to see if it still exists) that I can plug my consoles into & watch some TV on when I'm not playing stuff.

If this actually happens, I hate hate hate hate hate hate hate it.

I'm 100% serious when I say that I will never accept one of these. I will hand this coin back to the cashier and ask for a paper bill or four quarters or even 100 damn pennies.

I will NEVER keep a Trump coin.

If you're in Illinois and facing criminal charges from protesting ICE, or if you were attacked by ICE or law enforcement supporting them, I might be able to represent you pro bono. Email me at [email protected]. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.
