“Going to be”?

Do they?

Because their actions imply otherwise.

Gee, maybe you should have spent more time improving the lot of everyday people and less time playing footsie with billionaires?

A lot of neoliberal erstwhile-progressives are about to find out the consequences of selling out their principles for a seat at the rich kids’ table.

Most of Europe’s already found this out, Biden and Trudeau are looking at the same thing, and I expect Starmer will be out on his ass after four years of failing to help the poor and middle class, as he’s so busy right now assuring everyone that he’s not a socialist like Corbyn.

How much of this is decline at the expense of Windows 11, due to Steam lowering barriers to entry, fatigue with Windows’ hard selling, and/or extending the useful like of hardware that W11 abandoned.

So, money is speech, is pollution speech too?

Does it work the other way? Can I follow Threads users without being on threads.net myself?

Coincidentally, that’s what using it is like, too. :)

To be fair, that’s a British style of writing. It’s a loaded word in North American journalism, but neutral in the UK.

Ugh…

How did PCs beat out the Amiga, Mac and ST with nonsense like that?

It’s hysterical to hear right-wing commentary about how New York Democrats are socialist Marxist communist hippies when the reality has much more goose-stepping to it.

There’s parking In Montreal?

I suppose that’s what potholes are for…

Two bags per.

I don’t like to say crass stuff like this, but in this case it’s worth sharing: I’ve been tail-thwacked in the testicles by my happy dog, who’s about this size.

That tail’s lethal. We’ve lost drinking glasses, food and all sorts of knick knacks to an excited tail swipe. You learn to put things high up.

They don’t think of working class people as people.

They’re things, abstracted away from empathy.

There’s a solution for this: socialized medicine.

It works literally everywhere else in the world.

They are playing the same game they always have: use carrots like this to get voters to the polls, and hold off on those carrots until an election year.

The problem is that it doesn’t reliably work. Progressive voters just see three and half years of very little progress and six months of fearmongering and pandering, which causes as much or more apathy than it does engagement.

If you look at what the Right does, by comparison, it’s interesting. They throw red meat to their base on day one, and keep it up for the entire term. They know that they need to keep the base pumped and expecting results, which is a big reason why conservative voters turn out at much higher rates: they feel listened to.

Doesn’t Mint use native packages where Ubuntu is snap-happy?

Flip a few more of these and Fetterman can sit and fume.

David Brooks and George Will’s frozen corpses will pave the way to hell.

Wait, the threat to capitalism from the modern Democratic Party, which is a bunch of weak-kneed neoliberal do-nothings, is worse than the threat of fascism from a guy who said he’s willing to use the power of the state to punish enemies?

Ask the Russian oligarchs that fell down stairs, out of windows, ran into mysterious rains of bullets and/or drank radioactive tea how they feel about selling out democracy for profit.

Oh wait, you can’t ask them.

These nitwits don’t realize that even if they’re not the first line in Niemoller’s poem, they’ll at best be the last.
