If you all haven’t already, the next few days is a great time to rebalance your retirement accounts. Stop investing in US federal bonds and focus on international mutual funds and (if available) state and local mutual funds.
I rebalanced last year and my IRA is doing fantastic. (Not today but overall)
I wanted to like lawn chair and gave them an honest try but so many features I have come to rely on weren’t quite there.
I realize that they were designed as a replacement of pixel’s launcher but still… I would have loved to keep using them.
I am now using a paid version of Smart Launcher and praying to God that they won’t do what Nova did.
The issue with stuff like this is that it’s going to work like literacy tests that disenfranchised black voters.
Fascists will use them to be “alternative facts” and if you answer in any way that they don’t like, you’ll be bared from serving.
They’d rather have US citizens die than shame Trump.

But also…police have qualified immunity. If the police get charged and convicted, it would be the one positive thing that this administration will have done.
“I’m so fucking pissed that you didn’t give me the Nobel Peace Prize that I’m going to go to war with you to teach you a lesson.”

But what is happening in Hong Kong is they come up with a slogan, which is translated as Do Not Split, which is, we know that some people are willing to be confrontational with riot police.
And when they are, that’s going to cost the state in terms of not only resources, but it’s going to cost the state in terms of political capital and support. And we know that there are some people who are not willing to do that. And we are going to abide by the protocol of Do Not Split, which means that we’re not going to criticize them openly, and they’re not going to criticize us openly.
If we’re the pacifists, we’re not going to have them criticize us for being sort of like, I don’t know, limpid or flaccid or not courageous or whatever. And we’re not going to criticize them for being more confrontational. And the thing is that the support is also tacit.
It’s not like they have to come out and tell the media, oh, we approve of our more sort of confrontational colleagues. They just keep quiet. They just keep quiet.
Understanding that a range of tactics is probably going to be necessary. Nobody really knows what’s going to work. But if everybody’s pushing back against a particularly violent state, then everybody’s really on the same side.
This is it right here.
Though of course they don’t think this way.
Conservatives want to oppress. They believe everyone is equal until it interferes with their desire to oppress others. They would rather suffer themselves then lose the ability to be openly racist.
There are communities across the US where citizens are requesting data centers. These forums are open to the public and often recorded. You can do a simple search and find countless articles and then from there find minutes and voting records.
I would start there

Wait…is this how I’m learning that another conservative asshole died?
1000 single family homes is a lot. That doesn’t include multi-unit buildings like apartments.
Corporations shouldn’t own any single family homes.
I don’t want to make perfection the enemy of good here so if say this is a step in the right direction to introduce some level of control. But it needs to go much further than simply restricting the totally number of houses they can own.
She’s still a bad billionaire. The only way she stops being a bad billionaire is to stop being a billionaire.
I’ve met some cis women who exclusively shop in the men’s department because the clothes are cheaper and sized sanely.
They don’t care that their buttons are “on the wrong side” so long as they have pockets.
“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”
They answer this in the movie. Humans aren’t born. They are grown.
So probably artificial insemination.
