It’s 1984 all over again.

  • It's amazing how the Republicans still get away with causing a host of ACTUAL problems and then deflect by blaming the country's woes on immigrants (or LGBTQ people, or DEI, etc.).

    • YouTube confirms your pause screen is now fair game for ads

  • The sad thing is that most people won't even give a damn.

    • John Roberts’ secret Trump memo revealed in huge SCOTUS leak

  • I am shocked...shocked to find corruption going on in the Supreme Court!

    • What's the easiest way to host a music colletion (FLAC)?

  • I'm also considering just getting a portable, 128GB FLAC player with a minijack connection and moving on with my life without getting involved in networking at all.

    Yeah, I'd say that this is definitely the way to go. My .mp3 player only has something like 8 gigs of storage, but it takes a MicroSD card. With a 1 tb card, I can carry all the music I want (and realistically, given that your collection is pretty small, you could get away with a whole lot less than that).

  • This image reminds me of those Ben Garrison cartoons that make Trump look suspiciously swole.

  • This is why I never bought a domain. Can't give up on your dreams if you never pursued them in the first place!

  • Good for them! Hopefully this leads to a stronger labor movement nationwide.

  • Apparently someone, somewhere out there is subscribing to this shit, or else they wouldn't keep pushing it on us. And frankly, that's both hilarious and disturbing.

    • bot casually stealing comments

  • I live in a "first past the post" country that forces a two-party system and penalizes voting your conscience unless it aligns with one of those parties. While there may be flaws in Ranked Choice Voting that could emerge in fringe cases, it is so obviously superior to our current system that it is hard for me to worry too much about the nuance of how it might not be 100% perfect 100% of the time. Any (democratic) system is better than what we have now.

    • RFK Jr., who has endorsed Trump for president, must stay on the ballot in two swing states

    Jump

  • I'm quite fond of this joke that I've seen in a few places:

    Q: What do RFK Sr. and RFK Jr. have in common? A: Neither of them pulled out in time.

  • The sheer pettiness of people on the Internet will never fail to amuse me.

  • I assume this is a version of Apples To Apples that's just loaded with innuendo and double entendres? Because if so, that's hilarious and I need a copy.

    • Democrats Scrub Death Penalty Opposition From Campaign Platform - For the first time in more than a decade, the Democratic Party platform includes no mention of abolishing the death penalty.

    Jump

  • Oh, I agree completely. I think it's disgusting how the right has succeeded in shifting the Overton window a ridiculous amount over the past decade or so.

    • What's the most petty/pointless/pedantic hill you're willing to die on?

    Jump

  • I'm fine with language evolving; my issue is that there used to be a word that succinctly conveyed a particular idea, and now there is no way to concisely convey that idea in English.

    "Gay" changing its meaning isn't the same thing, because there are still plenty of ways of saying "happy" in English.

  • The lefty side of me thinks: "We're nominating a former prosecutor...what did we expect?"

    The practical side of me thinks: "This is like Palestine/Israel. Sure, Harris could be better on this issue...but Trump is still a hundred times worse."
