Make Polio Great Again

Steve Irwin would want anomalocaris

I’m a Canadian who just finished a business trip to the Midwestern US.

I was amazed at the number of signs for Republicans imploring voters to save America from communism by voting R.

I think it’s beyond time that Democrats call them fascists, because Republicans fucking are, especially since the other common signs I saw talked about the radical groomer trams agenda.

This show is just so good.

Stupid and juvenile, yes, but it’s a love letter to fans in a way that only SNW comes close to being.

It’s crab-bucket public relations.

If you drag everyone down to your level, everyone looks bad, or at least you don’t look as bad by comparison and the voting public loses confidence in the system in general, which tends to benefit fascists.

It sadly doesn’t quite work right on KDE. You can get close: you can show an application launcher, or a exposé-like window overview, or a pager, but you can’t show all of them at once in a way that’s easy to work with between like Gnome does.

Heck, even Gnome regressed Gnome 40, as you don’t get the vertical desktop overview any more. At least there’s shell extensions that let me get Gnome 3’s behaviour back.

It’s a real pity, because I like KDE, and definitely the KDE apps, more, but the Super-key overview is no hard to quit.

The only reason I don’t use KDE is because it doesn’t do the super-key expose/dash/overview like Gnome.

A better idea is to do to the Democratic Party what the Tea Party and MAGA did to the Republicans.

Primary out corporate candidates and push for progressive ones at every level. President, congressional rep, school board trustee, dog-catcher: it doesn’t matter.

The problem progressive voters have is that they don’t show up, and the especially don’t show up during off years, in primaries and in down-ballot races. The polticial right, by comparison, has been getting people in place on small races for years.

Sanders did more for progressivism by enthusing Democratic members to vote in primaries and down-ballot races than Stein or any third party has ever done, and we’re seeing results. It needs to continue.

Yup, Ron Jr.

He’s actually very progressive, especially given his upbringing.

Oh, if only that were true.

But what about that one guy who writes absolutely brilliant VB?

Putting aside the obvious concerns, a mayor doing this and using “it’s the same as the maintenance guy” should be a red flag.

I’ve worked in companies where high-level people take it upon themselves to do operational work. It’s at best pointless retail poltics, and at worst it’s rampant bikeshedding.

I’m sure China would be equally amenable to a peace proposal that would allow Taiwan part of the mainland, or would allow Tibet autonomy.

China, in other words, can fuck right off.

If someone could port AUX’s UI, that would be perfect.

And as a fellow System 6/7 fan, it’s love, not masochistim. Long live the spatial Finder!

Depressingly, also Fetterman.

Regime change coming up for the sake of “freedom”.

Discretion? From the whale carcass anti-vax guy?

“Blurs the line?”

Ok, let’s try an experiment: "Hitler blurs the line on Jews, Romani and actual criminals ".

How does that read, Mr Journalist?

Fuck these false-objectivity, milquetoast, water-carrying fascist apologists.

You can also vote the Democratic primaries, too.

That worked out, suprisingly well, for Sanders. Think about how much change you could affect voting for Sanderses at every level.

This is how the Tea Party and MAGA co-opted the Republicans, and it’s the model progressives should use to move the needle in the Democratic party (and they have, with some success).

If progressives want to see change, progressives need to vote. In every election. General or primary.
