To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their kickbacks dissolving!

Yeah, my first thought was the cops, too. That’s usually when the authorities hush up.

The scary part isn’t the Islamaphobia. That’s just because it’s easy sound bites based on his name. The real scary part is how much they’re trying to attack him, because a democratic socialist mayor in New York can show how shitty Republican solutions have been on solving core problems like wealth inequality. Beyond what Bernie or AOC can do as an individual member of Congress. A mayor is an executive, and new York is big. If he’s not trying to line his pockets, he can do real damage to conservatives and establishment Democrats just by showing everyone there’s a better way.

Demotic, not demonic. Demotic is simplified Egyptian used by every day people there at the time. Typically, only the priests used the form of hieroglyphs we’d see on tombs. “Demotic” means colloquial, or common, speech.

Thanks for linking those. I can tell you that most people that know English as a first language have very little to no knowledge about the history between Poland and Ukraine. Like many things in the international world, it’s very complicated. But now I understand it a little better. I would agree that Poland is under no obligation to support a government that can’t seem to separate it’s independence from fascist leaders of the past, which does raise questions about the direction of the future. Yes, Ukraine needs to be free. They need an the help they can get. But what if they win, and fascism takes hold?

I mean, look at how the US is falling to fascism. People aren’t careful enough.

Maybe give us a quick synopsis? I live in neither country so I don’t know the nuances you’re referring to. Did Ukraine officially say something against Poland? Or a portion of Polish government? You’re pointing to a blog post and not a news outlet, so that’s a very niche source and not typically deemed credible in the US (where I live). If you have a link to like The Guardian, or something like that, I’d absolutely believe it.

That’s a noble goal, to stop teenage suicide. At least, stop suicide by guns. Pills, hanging, idk. It’s certainly something a teen would do out of immediate opportunity.

What I find weird is they can sign up at 18 to be in the military and kill hundreds in the name of oil companies. With guns. They’re obviously smart and reasonable enough to make the decision to end other people’s lives. We trust their judgement enough in Afghanistan, but not at home.

I don’t know that there’s a perfect solution. I just know that this seems inconsistent, and the government is happy with inconsistencies as long as they benefit.

That’s too real. I don’t like it. Describing a hellish world of AI anti-choice, then at the end revealing that most of us will just be in labor camps instead. Damn. I’d tell you to write that into a book, but I don’t think there’s a happy ending there.

He did likely make off with all of our previously government-only information, though. He’ll feed it through grok to try to catch up, and be shocked when Russia or whoever steals it.

So he’s got that going for him.

The point where they open a barn and find flying monster sheep that farted kinda killed it for me. Like they were trying to see who was stupid enough to continue enjoying it.

I just stopped caring at that point.

Sloopy? SLOOPY? All this time I thought it was SNOOPY! I feel like such an idiot…

I could… tell when I made it to the bathroom. The sesame oil was not digested at all. I have eaten the same type of salad before and since.

Maybe it’s a unique thing to just me, but no, I’ll never try that again just to see. It was a horrible experience.

Pretty sure it was being raw that did it. I’ve cooked with it since and never had a problem. But when it goes on a salad, it’s typically just right out of the bottle… Never again.

Just as a heads up to anyone reading this… Don’t use sesame oil to make an oil and vinegar dressing. I did it once and shit my pants so bad I never wore khaki pants again. That stuff isn’t like Olive oil or anything else in your kitchen. It is Instant Bad Day in a bottle.

Good. You know the cops are going to hide everything they can and hope he’ll just get buried under assumptions and persuasions.

Remember:

1. Luigi is innocent. The state and federal governments must prove to a jury he’s guilty.
2. disinformation is rampant.
3. both governments NEED a scapegoat to appease the rich, who are actually afraid of a movement.
4. cops, the NYC mayor, and the prosecutors are sloppy. They’ve already made mistakes, and want to hide them.

Free Luigi!

So remember when people made jokes about Latvia and how they really wanted a potato?

That’s us now, guys. The billionaire elite and ineffective politicians made us the butt of the joke we used to tell about former Soviet countries.

I learned to fix it. Before YouTube, that usually means not so great. But now, I usually do at least as good as a job as the people I’d hire.

Fixing stuff is easy, and you have to accept that there’s no perfect fix.

Ants, set out ant bait traps. Look outside and see if there’s a trail, follow it to the source, and spray it with ant poison.

Cracks, YouTube that. They may be nothing.

Leaks, if it’s plumbing, you can buy pipes at home Depot and replace them.

Granted, it will take a while. Maybe all day. But you’ll get an endorphin rush when it’s done and eventually you’ll come to know all the ins and outs of your house.

But it’s you look at it and it’s too big, Google a company to do it. Even if you’re halfway, and find you’re stuck. No shame in getting help. This shines you don’t have a family member or friend who’s already handy.

But really, if you can’t fix it, can’t afford to have it fixed, just do what you can to keep the house clean and work on it a little bit or put aside money till you can. That’s hard, but that’s owning a house. Like anything in life, it’s difficult. But it doesn’t have to stay that way, with enough time and practice.

You’re already smarter than many, asking for other’s opinions. Don’t suffer in silence. I believe in you!

It also depends on what access they have. Easiest would be to axe subsidies to oil companies, but no way they’re be able to just do something like that. There’s too much protection around that money.

Of course, if they’re doing exactly as DOGE, they suck and I’m glad they’re blocked because DOGE has made terrible decisions.

Rachel Maddow and her blistering burns aren’t going to stop trump or save us from musk. They’re throwing sticks and stones while she’s throwing words that’ll never hurt them.

We need actual action. Ideally from elected officials pushing back, public figures, and every citizen refusing to be sucked into the MAGA cult and their objectives.

Allegedly, he was given liquid capital by Russian oligarchs to buy Twitter when the courts ruled that he was obligated to buy it. He might be rich, but that kind of money wasn’t just sitting in his checking account. It was his company valuations.

Once he got tangled into Twitter, that’s when he seemed to really go off the deep end.
