The side of the moon not facing earth is what I meant. Not actually sure if thats a correct phrase at all TBH. °far side* is probably a better phrase.

Whitey on the moon is certainly a vivid slap to the face, but it isn’t the real cause of sister Nell’s rat bite (Google Gil Scott Heron whitey on the moon if you dont get the reference. It’s seriously awesome and on point and should be required listening in high school)

The most recent big kicks to the teeth were the 2trillion in tax breaks handed to corporations a few years back and the flood of Insurance company money into politics. Insurance corporations have ruined healthcare and made medical debt a leading cause of homelessness. Political donations have made sure the government doesnt do anything about it.

The 2 trillion in corporate tax breaks have obliterated funding to public health, rehab and job placement services as well as eliminating millions of jobs in the public services sector. These spur economic growth

Moon shit is arguably what made microchips, solar panels and thousands of other inventions that seriously funded a great deal of economic growth, getting thousands out of poverty, while simutaneously maintaining our leading military edge and bankrupting Russia’s warchest without murdering millions of people.

We should focus our opposition on corporate tax breaks and political bribes, not on the miniscule programs that actually do create some jobs… Also, China is making moves to occupy the moon, including the dak side of it. The moon is the ultimate high ground

Just installed! It took me a minute to log in. Turns out I needed to look into my nextcloud music app’s settings to get the server url and to generate an api key to use (for totally good security reasons)

Friggin awesome app! Very snappy and well featured!

Im in love :)

I thin there should be a proper study and maybe proposal to Legalize and lightly-regulate class-A drugs so the Cartel loses their main revenue stream, black market drugs.

I am pulling this out my butt, but Im betting the main source of capital in the cartel’s economy is wealthy people buying drugs. Poor people too, but Im betting the wealthy addicts with jobs and clean records contribute more.

If we rerouted those funds to actual tax-revenue-generating jobs the Cartel mightlosee somepowera and our economy wouldn’t be leaking so much money to the illegal drug trade.

Putin has been slowly taking lands of strategic importance for over a decade. Taking Ukraine would give Russia total control of the Black sea and a significant geographic advatage in the region. NATO was formed specifically to prevent Russia from expanding and it is very much in US’s interest that Russia doesnt decide to take over Europe.

Funny hearing your concern about money laundering as Putin and his cronies famously steal from state budgets and launder that money through various shell companies and even US real estate.

Havent seen it yet. I hope he put Bidens feet to the fire a bit over the Gaza nonsense.

I’m sure it was a tough crowd. CNN and MSNBC are very much in on the current official narrative of the white house

Is this a comic about boomers and climate change?

Srsly, fashion takes time and money and thought.

If any of those in short supply ya jes wear what you got

sudo apt install python3 didnt do it?

Dont care. Its all Kabuki theatre to distract you from actual issues.

The less you pay attention to what GOP politicians are saying and pretending to care about, the smarter you will be.

Ask your mom about her 9D experience lol gottem

Which norms and why?

Breaking free from societal norms because they are norms will not get you anywhere.

Wearing a shirt that says Fuck you and being a glum dick about everything wont win you friends or convert anyone to your cause.

Being approachable and listening to others in order to connect with them as a human… Then when they ask if you want to hail satan as is the norm and you say no, my friend, for I only praise the Sun. They may be more inclined to see some sun followers as not total assholes as they pray to our dark lord

Itf youre in a situation for it, it can be fun to move to a placewhenre others choose a different societal norm more in line with your own ideals. Like Florida, where some child labor laws were repealed… Take that societal norm

I’ve always hated this asshat. He’s always seemed like a guy trying to run a football game instead of having a platform based in policy.

He never spends his time on TV talking about an issue that matters. It’s just whatever bullshit talking point of the day on the news which will be promptly forgotten about the next. He’s Newt Gingrich dressed blue… Okay, maybe not the satan shitpile Newt Gingrich is, but I hate when people are dying and windbags like this are going on about Iowa straw polls.

Who gives a damn what Puskatawnee Phil says about the election; our future generation is fucked if we dont nail down climate change, the economy which is based on exponential growth and the whole slavery thing thats still alive and well and everyone is worse off for it…

Hell, child labor laws are being repealed and women are being jailed for having a miscarriage. But tell me again how so-and-so shoulda spent more time campaigning in that county because its a purple county in a swing state instead of, I dunno doing what won Bill Clinton the Election… Carville’s one big win. He talked about the economy and healthcare after Bush Senior had trashed it by sending us to war in Iraq to try to clean up the mess he made when he was head of the CIA… I hate politics

King James stable

Did he talk to any other countries about how their loans have worked out?

Or is this why he was running. Economic assassin style

I think we’re maybe just too busy to be involved enough in the late-90’s irc-ish corners of the web to see it.

I bet there’s more than ever of it out there… You and I are just now into a perspectosphere of higher profitability, but lower keepin-it-surreality… If that makes sense

Which is kinda how it ahould be… The youth with their lack of responsibility own the edge of culture which they will eventually sort out to the worthwhile and the forgettable as their kids overtake the edge.

Zombocom is certainly in the worthwhile bucket. It encapsulates and distills so much pf the late 90’s into such a simple, light-weight package

No I dont but I must see this. What is/was it?

Ah yes. They are but pumpkins with wich we can be I Dunno, Smashing Pumkins Into Small Pieces Of Putrid Debris.

Woah… Teh wallz is le flickering as like teh video buffrz

Doom the comic book.

Heres a lovely retrospective of this very important cultural masterpiece

Preach!

I’m convinced that were it not for Mozilla, microsoft would have prevented google from taking over. We’d be in a shittyworld controlled by the asinine cerification heierarchy of microsoft obfuscation.

MS owned a big chunk of Apple before Safari was a thing and they had crazy drm-ish plans with IE before they got thwacked with the monoploy stick by the feds in the late nineties. Netscape was on the ropes and there was essentially no one left.

I think it’s time for Google to be thwacked. Apple too. They’re going really anti-consumer in shady ways leading us to a weird new AI/surveillence capitalism led middle ages… Like no new knowledge, education will be towards the new corporate capitalist religion that gets people to serve their lords and noone has money or knowledge but the king and a few of their buddies. They’ll grant the shineyist most deluded followers with a meaningless knighthoods that only serve to get that person laid so others will strive to sacrifice for the king so they can win the knighthood lottery and get laid and raisea family in a nice house… Anyway…

It’s no good. We gotta skip straight to the next Renaissance where everyone has control over their identity, data and thoughts and can follow their own god in peace and healthy debate. And everone has healthcare and basic needs met and we’re all moving towards Star Trek.

Moving towards Star Trek is what made the 90’s great… Well, more accurate to say it was the great thing out of the nineties; before the new fascisism riding the 9/11 fear wave and the TSA and before ‘enshittification’ was a word.

Anyway… What was I sayinf?

Oh yeah Open source all the way!
