Someone's gonna lose their job for telling the truth.

Trump was riding a wave of exhaustion with Democrats’ cultural overreach.

I’d meet people at parties, reading groups and “salons” who would whisper — or, when intoxicated, shout — that they could finally say what they really thought on issues such as gender identity and diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives without fear of being ostracized.

The Washington Post can eat shit and so can Bezos for peddling this kind of slop.

The idea that these fucking assholes ever shut up about their backwards fucking opinions is a joke.

The people supporting progressive ideals have always been the ones shouted down and being told they are being divisive.

"They can finally say" my ass they never, ever shut the fuck up about how they feel. They just feel emboldened to be a legitimate fucking all-out asshole now is all.

This is, sadly, not shocking. They are going to send dissidents back to be murdered by Putin. Fucking assholes.

Corporate America, who the cops are actually here to protect, not us.

Among them, Astarion features a fully developed personal storyline and is available for marriage.

Booooo, I want to be able to marry my Frog Wife again. Hit me harder, mommy.

Happy for Astarion fans though, just wish it also included my girl Lae'zel having a personal story and a marriage option.

Well, I'm also personally of the opinion that violence being the first answer is a losing proposition in a surveillance enabled police state with the largest and most advance military in the world.

I think it's a much better idea to organize on a national level mutual aid groups, community gardens, community doctors, community mesh-networks not connected to the internet for information sharing, people working outside of capitalism and then when enough of a support network is built, going all-in on a general strike. Violence will still happen anyway, but take the time to prepare parallel systems and starting from a defensive position instead of offensive is the smarter move.

I think with the massive boot of law enforcement, the surveillance tools they have, and the military backing them, starting by fighting is a fools errand that will be crushed quickly, mostly because there won't be enough logistical planning. I've met enough antifa wannabes who just wanna go out and recklessly shoot shit to understand that it's not organize enough.

We need to be organized at a community level to care for each other so people can feel supported enough to stand with each other.

Right, which is why I advocate for fewer protests and more community organizing so we can care for each other outside of these broken ass systems. People are going to wait until after the last minute to start organizing ways to protect and care for each other, but that's America for you.

I just like knowing which episode this is from and the implication that removing the code analyzer will cause an explosion.

Season 3, episode 4.

From Wikipedia:

Douglas finds the love of his life in a journalist named April, but mishears that she used to be a man, thinking she said that she is from Iran. After learning the truth about April, Douglas breaks up with her, but their ensuing fist fight disrupts the shareholder meeting, crushing "the internet", and causing panic. Later, Douglas, alone at home, regrets breaking up with April.

Channel 4 removed the episode from its streaming service on 5 October 2020 after complaints of transphobia regarding the reaction of Douglas to a trans character and Graham Linehan's controversial opinions of the trans community.

It stuck with me because I really like Matt Berry and it disappointed me that he was down to make a show of beating the shit out of a trans woman for comedy.

Ehhhh, Season 1 and 2 were, and it fell off for me when Graham Linehan started pushing his anti-trans shit in season 3. Never even checked out season 4 because I was so put off.

Looks like the BBC even eventually pulled the episode in question from streaming.

I don’t expect to be here past that point so I haven’t looked that far ahead lol

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I'll be gone in the second wave. Either dead from losing access to my cancer medications or dead in an El Salvadorian prison without my cancer medications.

It's a Festivus for the Rest of Us!

On this fine holiday, take a moment to pretend all of us Lemmings are seated at a grand table with one another, and we each may stand one-by-one and take time to air our grievances!

What are your grievances for 2024?

 

Those non-violent protests shook them so bad they wanted to charge non-violent Quaker protestors with terrorism.

 

As always, Bowie was ahead of his time. We all should have been afraid, and we should be afraid.

EDIT: All right, gonna turn in. Love ya anyway, Lemmy. Goodnight.
