Johnny5,

Dems removed filibuster for all appointment except scotus in 2013 then R’s removed for scotus in 2017. Now republicans could have done it anyway on 2017 even without precedent, and Democrats could have forced merick garland in if they had gone fully nuclear. I’d call it equally shared

The danger is to the entire courthouse — and Trump's intentions are clear: legal expert (www.rawstory.com)

If Donald Trump cared about his impact on the people he attacks, he would have stopped after seeing the 275 pages of single-spaced threats just one staffer in the New York court received. Speaking to MSNBC about the matter on Sunday, former federal prosecutor Joyce Vance, who co-hosts the "Sisters ...

Johnny5,

Apparently other people want other things… like civil discourse and pertinent analysis. just move along already

Johnny5,

Followed closely by war with Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Jordan and Iran. Escalation is bad for everyone.

Johnny5,

My favorite part of daily walking / train / bike share commute is using a particular mid block crosswalk with flashing lights to stop 4 lanes of traffic at rush hour.

Johnny5,

95% of trips are 30 miles or less. Of course everyone is the exception, we’re all above average drivers here.

Johnny5,

It is germane to the subject because zoning laws were invented to perpetuate segregation.

12.3 Billion Miles Away: NASA Has Lost Communication With Voyager 2 Spacecraft (scitechdaily.com)

NASA’s Voyager 2 has lost communication with Earth due to an unintentional shift in its antenna direction. The next programmed orientation adjustment on October 15 is expected to restore communication, while Voyager 1 continues to operate as usual....

Johnny5,

And even if it was pointed at random human equipment it’s so far away that you need a very special radio and antenna; not just any old satellite is necessarily going to do the trick. I think the signal strength is around -196db iirc so incredibly faint, and The antennas they use to communicate with voyager are massive.

Johnny5,

Yes! Geo ip filtering got rid of so much brute forcing for me.

Johnny5,

Propaganda is most effective when there is a kernel of truth.

I run a local MediaWiki appliance from turnkeylinux, super easy to spin up in proxmox.

Johnny5,

Just got to find the right contest, friend

Johnny5,

It seems to me that the old left doesn’t want to play with the new left just as much as vice versa. Definitely a shame that they can’t work together better but blaming it all on the kids is a strangely conservative position for the ‘old left’ to take….

Johnny5,

The recrimination goes both ways is my point, and is to the detriment of both

Johnny5,

Pretty damning with faint praise there really.

Johnny5,

With identity politics, it seems even worsened that the new left cares about ideological purity and sin which prevents coalition type movements.

This critique is pervasive and has always rung hollow to me when trying to navigate this divide. The onus is also on the old left to build bridges imho

Johnny5,

I know that’s the argument but Framing it as ‘the new folks on the block don’t want to build bridges’ isn’t a very good way to build bridges.

Basically I think this whole analysis is a lazy way to dismiss the new left. Not that they’re perfect or anything, but I think there is an equal responsibility for both groups to work together.

Johnny5, (edited )

Idk Still sounds to me like this is mostly a clever way to denigrate and dismiss people who aren’t doing things the “right” way.

And I also don’t buy that patriotic duty is the only motivation to work on improving things

But if it works for you then good on ya

Johnny5,

Apparently we yearn for our imperial chains

Johnny5,

So debian with a really weird window manager?
