As fascism burns across America, it's important to remember that Trump and his policies are *not popular*. Sure, the racism and cruelty excites a minority of (very broken) people, but every component of the Trump agenda is *extremely* unpopular with the American people, from tax cuts for billionaires to kidnapping our neighbors and shipping them to concentration camps.

Espanso is a great program which can save you a lot of typing time. It can autocorrect typing errors and insert commonly used text snippets such as an email footer, html tags, emojis, etc. It has advanced functionality, such as typing the current date in any desired format. You can program where the caret should be placed after text replacement, for example in between html tags. It works on both X11 and Wayland. There is no Flatpak yet, but it is available on multiple repos such as Arch and Fedora Copr. I was concerned that it might be a malicious keylogger, but everything I’ve found signals that it’s safe. espanso.org/ github.com/espanso/espanso

If you'd like an essay-formatted version of this thread to read or share, here's a link to it on pluralistic.net, my surveillance-free, ad-free, tracker-free blog:
Keeping this fact in mind is essential if we are to nurture hope's embers, and fan them into the flames of change. Trumpism is a coalition of people who hate each other, who agree on almost nothing, whose fracture lines are one deft tap away from shattering:
Take noncompete "agreements": contractual clauses that ban workers from taking a job with any of their employers' competitors for *years*. One in 18 Americans has been captured by a noncompete, and the median noncompete victim is a minimum-wage fast-food worker whose small business tyrant boss wants to be sure that she doesn't quit working the register at Wendy's and start making $0.25/hour more flipping burgers at McDonald's.
The story of noncompetes is bullshit from top to bottom. The argument goes, "Your boss invests heavily in training you, and lets you in on all his valuable trade-secrets. When you walk out the door and go to work for a competitor, you're *stealing* all that training and knowledge. Without noncompetes, no boss will invest in the knowledge-intensive industries that are the future of our economy."
Now, like I said, the *vast* majority of people under noncompetes are working low-waged, menial jobs with little to no training, and no proprietary trade secrets to speak of. Which makes sense: workers with less bargaining power end up signing worse contracts. That's half the case against noncompetes.
Here's the other half: the *most* IP-intensive, profitable, knowledge-based industries in America operate without *any* noncompetes.
California's state constitution *bans* noncompetes, which means that every worker in Hollywood *and* Silicon Valley is free to quit their job and walk across the street and join a rival.
If Hollywood and tech are examples of industries that "can't attract investment," then we should be shooting for every sector of the American economy to be so starved for capital.
Silicon Valley's origin story is based on the ability of key workers at knowledge-intensive firms to quit their jobs and go to work for a direct competitor: the first Silicon Valley company was Shockley Semiconductors, founded by William Shockley, who won the Nobel Prize for inventing silicon transistors.
Shockley literally put the "silicon" in Silicon Valley, but he never shipped a working chip, because he was a deranged, paranoid eugenicist who ran such a dysfunctional company that eight of his top engineers quit to found a rival company, Fairchild Semiconductor. Then two of the "Traitorous Eight" quit the Fairchild to start Intel, and the year after, another Fairchild employee quit to start AMD:
This never stopped. Woz quit HP and Jobs quit Atari to start Apple and the tradition of extremely well-capitalized companies being founded by key employees who quit market-leading firms to compete with their old bosses continues to this day. There are many things we can say about AI, but *no one* will claim that AI companies - especially not those in California, where noncompetes are banned - have trouble attracting investment.
Half of the leading AI companies were founded by people who couldn't stand working for Sam Altman at Openai and quit to found a competitor. Just last week, Altman flipped out because Mark Zuckerberg poached his key scientists to work on competing products at Meta:
You know who understands this? The lawyers who draw up employment contracts with noncompete clauses in them: the American Bar Association bans noncompetes for lawyers! *Every law firm in America operates without noncompetes!*
Everyone hates noncompetes. They are *bullshit*, and only get worse with time, as the largest companies in America metastasize into sprawling conglomerates, they compete with *everyone*. Who isn't a competitor of Amazon's?
Biden's antitrust enforcers hated noncompetes, too. Former FTC chair Lina Khan held listening tours and solicited comments to hear workers stories about noncompetes, developing a record that she used to create a rule that banned noncompetes nationwide:
America's oligarchs weren't happy. They sued to overturn the rule, and got a nationwide injunction (you know, those things that Trump's illegitimate Supreme Court claims are unenforceable) that suspended the FTC rule pending a full hearing.
It's clear that Trump's FTC is going to walk away from this fight and let the rule die. Trumpism is wildly unpopular, and this is no exception.
Americans overwhelmingly support banning noncompetes, but Trump's richest donors are terrified of another Great Resignation and want to keep us indentured to their shitty companies, so Trump's FTC will sell us all out.
But that's not the end of things. As David Dayen writes for *The American Prospect*, states and local governments can pass their own noncompete bans, and they are:
Take NYC mayor-in-waiting Zohran Mamdani: unlike Trump (and the Democratic Party's billionaire wing), Mamdani campaigned by offering to create policies that are *popular*, including a ban on noncompetes. New York City has two distinct groups of workers who are screwed over by noncompetes.
One of those groups is Wall Street finance bros, who work for some of the most legendarily toxic assholes to ever draw breath, and are overwhelming bound by noncompetes that will all become null and void the day Mamdani dons his sash.
The other group of workers Mamdani will liberate are those at the very bottom of the income distribution, from fast food workers to gig workers to doormen, who are victims of some of the dirtiest noncompete clauses in America, including "bondage fees":
Big cities are filled with workers who are getting screwed by noncompetes and every city government has it in their power to liberate every one of those workers (who are also voters).
States can do even better. There are already four states that ban noncompetes, two of them blood red: California, Minnesota, North Dakota, and Oklahoma. Other states place significant restrictions on noncompetes, including Washington, Colorado, Illinois, Virginia, Maryland, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, and Maine.
Nevada bans noncompetes for hourly workers, Idaho only allows them for "key employees"; Louisiana limits noncompetes to two years, and NJ bans noncompetes for domestic workers.
Up and down the country, in states blue and red, noncompetes are unpopular, and banning noncompetes is popular:
Oregon just banned noncompetes for doctors and other health workers, as part of a sweeping, bipartisan law that banned the "corporate practice of medicine":
Lina Khan's FTC developed an irrefutable record about the abusive nature of noncompetes, proving industries can attract capital and field successful companies without them. States have it in their power to step in where Trump has betrayed American workers. This isn't the most efficient way to protect workers - that would be a federal ban on noncompetes - but it will still get the job done, and it will weaken the Trump coalition, which is barely holding together as it is.
interestingly, in Germany non-competes are totally legal. But with a simple change: the employers needs to pay for the time of the non-compete (at least 50% of the pay). This makes them much less interesting, but still available

"Christianity is at the root of the evil that has corrupted the West. This is the truth, and it does not admit uncertainty. In its frenetic subversion of every hierarchy, in its exaltation of the weak, the disinherited, those without lineage and without tradition; in its call to "love", to "believe", and to yield; in its rancor toward everything that is force, self-sufficiency, knowledge, and aristocracy; in its intolerant and proselytizing fanaticism, Christianity poisoned the greatness of the Roman Empire. Enemy of itself and of the world, this dark and barbarous wave remains the principal cause of the West's decline." - Julius Evola
@relentless_eduardo@freeatlantis.co The Church had yet to corrupt the inner metaphysical values of the European at that time (the Rosicrucians, Knight's Templar, etc had more Pagan elements internally than Christian).
the greatest period of Spanish expansion to spread Christianity was about 1500 - 1800
so could we say the entire conquest of latin america by spain and the almost entire conquest of north america by the northern europeans were both symptoms of decline?

My initial reaction: "These people honestly think someone committed suicide just because they put a picture from a bridge? That's so stupid" Went to Twitter to check on the profile for myself.... literally every single one of their last few posts reads as: "the last things I want to say before I off myself". Huh... Maybe I was too rash to criticize. I guess people did do their homework before celebrating the death of a person they don't know.
@alyx This isn't the first time someone has posted a picture from a bridge with an ominous message, plus they've likely physically mutilated themselves which further fucks with their mental state. Poor bastards
Why people are killing themselves for something they cannot change or influence is beyond me
Perhaps the book im reading on Stoicsm is finally bearing its fruits because i see no logical reason to end yourself because of something that you cannot influence or change.
Just accept your situation and move on You choose to be influenced by your fate and situation, you cannot alter fate so stop resisting it right?
Perhaps rational thinking is not on the menu for some of these people 🤔
@xaetacore Well these are not exactly rational people, and a lot of their issues are likely self-inflicted given they've decided to be troons and have likely mutilitated themselves permanently, I don't blame theme for wanting to end it all considering there's no future for them other than as sterile slaves to medication

🌟 Narcissism can deeply affect creative collaborations. During brainstorming, a narcissistic individual might dominate the conversation, seeking to overshadow others' ideas rather than build collectively. This can stifle innovation as the space for genuine exchange shrinks. Monopolizing ideas often leads to resentment, reducing trust and teamwork. Awareness of these dynamics helps us foster healthier, more balanced creative environments where every voice matters. 💡🤝 #Narcissism #CreativeCollaboration #MentalHealthMatters

From yesterday: #Hamas said in a statement that it is studying the ceasefire proposal but noted that it wants any deal to lead to an end to the war. #Hospital officials in #Gaza said at least 111 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli air strikes across the Strip today, including 24 people waiting for aid. Wafa news agency reported earlier that 14 Palestinians have been arrested in Israeli raids across the #Bethlehem governorate in the occupied West Bank, where about 400 families would be made homeless by an Israeli army order to demolish more than 100 homes. Israel’s governing Likud party, led by Netanyahu, is pushing for the formal annexation of the occupied #WestBank before the Israeli parliament’s summer recess on July 27. aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/20… #palestine #apartheid #IsraelApartheid #occupation #colonialism #IsraelTerroristState

Ahora resulta que para que no haya incendios, se ha de ayudar a los agricultores y las zonas rurales. Hace un año pedí un permiso para poder tener un burrito o caballo (el plan era animales en tránsito para ayudar a santuarios o protectoras) Pues bien meses de negativas y problemas por parte del ayuntamiento del pueblo. Algo que era sencillo, sólo pedía poner una pergola pequeña (básicamente 4 palos y un toldo) todo lo demás estaba cubierto para cuidar al animal. Pues bien, imposible hacerlo. No ayudan, no son flexibles y básicamente solo los importa que pagues y pagues. #catalunyarural
Probably just about everything that's done by servants/"the help"/"assistants". If Jeff Bezos' life depended on cleaning a kitchen well within a given time, he would be doomed. Though Bezos is not the best example, since he seems to have grown up somewhat poor and actually worked as a line cook in his youth - but most rich people aren't upstarts, they become rich by inheriting.
At aid distribution sites alone, Israel has killed a full half of the number of settlers killed on October 7.

1. At the Tipping Points conference in Exeter yesterday, I spoke about the likelihood of food system collapse: a massive existential threat few people's radar. If you want a handle on the issue, here's the submission I made to a parliamentary committee. + 🧵www.monbiot.com/2023/03/09/t...
2. We need to do four things all at the same time. A. Ensure that 8, 9 or 10 billion people receive a healthy and sufficient diet. B. Do so without destroying Earth systems. C. Rewild as much land and sea as we can, to stop and reverse 6th Great Extinction drivers. D. Prevent food system collapse.
3. People tend to get siloed, in every profession. What I see in almost all food discussions is a focus on either A or B or C, but very seldom on all three, and even less often on A,B,C and D. Yet we will fail unless we address all 4.
4. So you get people saying "here's how we can increase yields to ensure there remains enough food for everyone." Yes, but where's the water going to come from? How will you protect the soil? What about #Insectageddon?
5. Then you get other people saying (in fact this theme now dominates discussions): "Look at my regenerative farming model. It's conserving soil and killing less wildlife." Great. But your yields have fallen by 75%. So either someone else must intensify or more land must be used to grow food.
