It's really hard to see your point when the American judicial branch is so obviously beholden to party politics and special interests. Judges can be voted on a lifetime appointment by a simple majority of 51 senators, who are likely to represent less than half the voting population of the country. I really think it's time for clunkier and more archaic forms of democracy to make way for a more direct and agile way to run the government. At the rate we're going, generations-long problems like climate change will be addressed when it's too late.
What fucking trains do we have in America? Inter city passenger rail's been on life support for a century here. Just vote to keep the Nazis out of the White House.
There's a guy at work who wears a MAGA hat all the time. I often think about telling him I want nothing to do with him liking a fucking Nazi but have to be civil and polite because he also acts the same way. It fucking sucks I can't tell him what I really think because we're in a professional setting and it would be stupid to start something up.
Nah the stories are a little more hopeful. Like one about toasters that work like a Keurig machine and this refugee community learning how to hack them to work on unauthorized products after the company whose servers that authorize the bread goes bankrupt.
Radicalized by Cory Doctorow. It's an anthology of four short stories that all share a common theme of dystopian applications of technology. So in other words... Pretty much on brand for the author and it's well done so far.
Don't forget barefoot.
Sometimes it can be easier to make peace with yourself for who you are than struggle to be someone others would want to be around. Just do things that bring joy in your life and you may end up with others who share your same values.
That makes it a hard no for me.
What are the odds most votes came from kids?
I've had to deal with people who are very vocally pro Trump lately and talk about him like he's an unfairly persecuted hero. I'm long past the point of trying to reason and simply dismiss them for being fools. There's no way they'll change their minds after all these years of seeing him do awful things and ignoring it.
They should really talk about this when there isn't a possibly world changing election going on. It's almost like they're doing this to get people to waste their vote on a third party. Talk ranked choice voting the day after the election and don't shut up about it until the government listens.
