Imagine regularly gets changed to exclude the most ‘objectionable’ lines.

And didn’t even use his own printer (according to his confession/manifesto)…

Wait, does Elon really think all YouTubers do their own editing? A lot of them are really open about having an editor working for them.

I think the open source community in general is just really annoyed when open software and protocols are always overlooked when people jump ship when some company oversteps their contract with the user base. It’s similar with stuff like windows takes another step towards enshittification. Instead of trying Linux, which can basically do everything windows can nowadays, they’ll stick with an older version of windows without updates or spend like $3000 on a Mac.

Instead of abandoning the corporate machine that keeps taking advantage of their users, they’ll just jump to the next corporation (or in this case, undemocratic government) that will go on to inflict those same abuses without ever looking at the root cause.

Or wrote it in a different language and used Google Translate.

Maybe if Democrats stop taking entire demographics for granted without providing them with anything, they’d win more.

I don’t doubt that Israel will just continue bombing whatever they please in Gaza, that was always going to happen. Israel had already killed more than 2000 Gazans before Oct 7 happened in the same year, and similarly they haven’t retreated from Lebanon despite the cease fire agreement demanding that as well. That was basically always going to happen no matter who was in charge.

I guess we’ll see how it all shakes out, I guess.

In what some Israeli media described as a “tense meeting”, Witkoff delivered his message. The president-elect was emphatic that he wanted a ceasefire-for-hostages deal. Trump wanted the war in Gaza finished. He had other fish to fry.

Seems pretty clear to me, Trump’s guy did what we’ve been demanding Biden and Blinken to do on day one: use the US’ leverage to force the Israeli government to take a deal. It was never Hamas that stood in the way of a hostage deal, it was Netanyahu (he was even threatening the families of the hostages to shut up about their family members). The Biden strategy didn’t work and possibly even lost the Democrats their election. This is the same deal Biden couldn’t push through back in March, rejected by Netanyahu, because the missing ingredient was the US telling Israel to take the deal or no more weapons.

There could be other things going on, obviously, I wouldn’t put it past Trump to offer something else in exchange that Biden wouldn’t ever offer, or that Netanyahu was deliberately scuttling deals in order to sabotage Biden politically, but in either case, it’s another example of Democrats shooting themselves in the foot because they didn’t want to listen to the left.

When you want to spend millions to fuck with your neighbour, but you absolutely need to be able to write it off your taxes.

Still angry about how he basically gave himself pancreatic cancer by following an all fruit diet, then somehow managed to get a transplant before a bunch of way more deserving people. Only to die a few years later anyway.

Yeah, Trump will reverse it and then democrats can be all up in arms about it. They’ll suddenly start talking about what’s happening in Gaza as well, I bet.

I wonder if CEOs enjoy running companies, maybe they should be replaced by AI.

Cue some video of Abbott or Desantis next to an ASL interpreter. Hasn’t this stuff been standard for decades?

Yeah, if anyone still believed that ‘international law’ and ‘rules based world order’ were real, the war in Gaza should prove that those laws only existed to enforce colonialism, and weren’t ever meant to apply to the US or its allies.

Pretty sure all of the ones that were convicted were involved in more than peaceful protest. I don’t think there’s anyone currently in prison that meets Vance’s criteria for a pardon.

It’s probably just not a good look to launch a very LA show when LA is literally on fire. If she went ahead they would’ve called it tone deaf.

But not Catholic enough to take the pope’s lead when it comes to Gaza.

Yep, if you want to use social media for your communications, spin up a Mastodon instance that you control instead of relying on some foreign corporation. Especially now that you can’t even properly load Twitter without an account anyway.

Yeah, the electorate also punished Carter for being straight with Americans about oil dependence and energy security. And instead of following the path of energy transition, they went with Reagan who promised Americans everything while undermining the middle class.

A lot of voters are basically like children that want to be lied to.
