That poor little girl. I hope she is able to find her own path and not be held back by that family. I know almost exactly how that feels.

Very cool and hopefully that means the M4 isn’t far behind!

Silly me, I was thinking of one of these:

Initial release of dd was for Unix in 1974 and it’s still updated for use in modern systems.

I used it just the other day and it was already installed.

It’s the same with all machines. When I worked news production in television it was the same thing. Something breaks, call in the engineers, now it works once they show up.

…people use Bing?

*checks browser marketshare…

Ha, Bing doesn’t even have 5% marketshare.

Oh no, Firefox has less than half of Bing’s marketshare. Fuck me, what’s wrong with internet users. I know Firefox isn’t perfect, but there’s other forks of it for various use-cases.

1. The primaries for 2026 don’t start until March, with some happening as late as September, so we’re well within the time period to be critiquing various candidates before the finalized candidates are chosen. It’s not like this is being said in October 2026 when all the primaries are already over, no, none of them have even begun.

2. As I may remind you, in 2024, we didn’t actually have a primary for the Democratic candidate for President. So no voters really had a choice in the matter at all. Quite a large number of Democratic voters felt strongly that the national party heavily put their finger on the scale for the primaries in 2016 and 2020 as well, so there’s a history of feeling like the primaries may have less real voter input than people would hope. (DNC lawyers never argued in court that they didn’t put their finger on the scale for Hillary Clinton, they argued that it was legal for them to do so, and that since it was the lawsuit should be thrown out, which it was. We never got to find out if that was true or not, but they certainly hammered it in court that whether it was or not, it was legal for them to do so.)

3. I still have seen very little evidence that statements like this “disincentivize” voters as much as I see people claiming it does. Are there polls to back up this idea, that people choose not to vote because they have been convinced it doesn’t matter due to Democratic inaction and people discussing that inaction?

I mean we’re literally talking about a party that shut down the government over healthcare, one of the longest in history, and then rolled over for literally nothing at all. We’re talking about a party that has members pushing to give ICE more funding while they’re killing people and who fold and accept Tom Homan taking over as though he will somehow be better than Greg Bovino instead of kicking ICE the fuck out of their cities. We’re talking about a party that gave police nationwide more funding after the George Floyd police riots where police nationwide brutalized peaceful protestors. We’re talking about a party that codified, legalized, and normalized some of the worst crimes of the Bush administration, and literally set the stage for the surveillance state and police state that is now turned against us because they didn’t want to appear “soft on terrorism.” People like myself were screaming bloody murder during the Bush administration that these kind of tools could eventually be taken by a despot and turned against us, and those of us still paying attention kept saying so when the Obama administration didn’t shut any of it down and instead kept it around for convenience because they were so sure such a despot would never be elected.

How is that the fault of voters who have the audacity to talk about those very real issues?

😭

How does it help suppress the vote? I have had things to complain about regarding Democrats that are valid complaints for 26 years, since I could legally vote. I haven’t just bowed out of voting due to those valid complaints.

I see this trotted out a lot, but I’m curious who you’re actually referring to. Harris wasn’t my cup of tea, I was especially upset that we didn’t even get an actual primary because of Biden’s idiocy and backtracking on his promise of being a one-term President, but I still fucking voted for her.

I see this sentiment around a lot, and it seems like it does little other than prevent Democratic voters from ever being allowed to voice their valid complaints about their own party and instead are supposed to suck it up and play pretend that everything is perfect like Republicans do with their party.

Just gonna go out on a limb and say jorking it to the animated ratchet effect is something worth kinkshaming.

What is Milkwalkers SCP classification?

“I want that report on my table first thing tomorrow morning, Cloth”

“But sir-”

“On my table, Cloth!”

We’re going to lose face, Cloth.

Not the cheapest, but I quite like Njalla.

The little book of calm!

Connections has some of the most tightly scripted cinematography. That perfectly timed rocket launch was absolutely superb for 1977.

Binged Bruiser. Olivia Colman and Matt Holness steal the show and have the best bits.

I forgot about Look Around You. Classic stuff.

Holeeeee sheeeeeeit. Gonna cheggit out later

Fuck me, good pull. Extremely underrated!
