Inflation is a particularly nasty tax. Most people don't even notice that it's happening. They think that inflation is caused by greedy companies when really it is the direct result of bad monetary policy permanently decreasing the relative value of the currency. It's a tax.

Brooke Rollins, US Secretary of Agriculture: "There will be no amnesty. The mass deportations continue but in a strategic way and we move the work force towards automation and 100% American participation, which again with 34 million able-bodied adults on Medicaid, we should be able to do that fairly quickly."
America really never got over losing slave labour.
@Crispius "The 13th Amendment in their constitution actually permits slavery for incarcerated persons"
NO IT DOES NOT.
It specifies:
"except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted"
This explicitly excludes the entire class of people they want to apply it to: those who have not been convicted or even accused of any crime, who are nominally being incarcerated pending non-criminal deportation action.
Of course they will try to apply this unconstitutionally. Mis-stating what the constitution says only helps them do that, though.
@verita84 @Rock DJ #Gaming under #Linux is possible, but with some "restrictions", like waiting patiently for fixes in #WINE (I can play many games now). It currently has a memory leak, so games will crash with an OOM error. But for me, that isn't important to why I use Linux for 25 years now. Games aren't important at all. I can now play older games which didn't run on release but run now flawless under plain WINE (no Proton needed anymore for e.g. #Satisfactory under #HeroicGamesLauncher ).
@roland I've been gaming on Linux exclusively for the past three years and I have no doubt it will improve more with time but I am getting disillusioned with all the corporate and political meddling. I will keep using it on desktop but am retreating to distros that annoy me least about Wayland, or have gay Marxist developers. I even want to ditch systemd but that will be a slower transition that I haven't committed to yet. Gaming on windows again has been an extreme pleasure for me and my family, I forced them to use Linux and am grateful they humored me but the experience was sub optimal and there's less enthusiasm to keep dog fooding it. I recommend Windows 11 LTSC IoT version for the cleanest and less buggered experience.
@Rock DJ @verita84 I can understand you here, just wanting to play games. Then your best choice is still - and unfortunate - Windows. Here and there is a Linux port available, like with Factorio or Fire Watch. But it isn't the majority. Still good to see that companies finally start turning towards Linux.
@Rock DJ @verita84 Maybe try a dual-boot? Is that with #UEFI still possible today? I heard/read that Windows becomes problematic when it isn't in the MBR or so?
@nach @dj well the reason linux usage has exploded has been games finally working, so if retarded trannies want to kill gaming on ubuntu that sounds like their own problem
@Kyonko802 @dj it won't make games stop working all of a sudden though, games do work in wayland but they have annoying problems they still have to solve (at the rate wayland keeps adding basic functionality to the desktop, they might as well have it ready by 2050)
@nach @dj aren't they getting rid of 32 bit though? That would kill everything. Though I guess a flatpak would still work. And all my games except Persona 5 Strikers work on hyprland so they're obviously making a lot of progress.

You realize that #Boomers are going to lead the charge on this, because at this juncture in their lives (and given they are the offspring of those who literally fought Nazis- and WON) they don't give a flying fuck anymore.
A difficult but necessary post. The full report of the Dinah Project is out, showing systematic sexual violence by Hamas used on the 7 October massacres (and on hostages afterwards). The many incidents in six different locations suggest this was intentional, not incidental - sexual violence as a weapon.
Clear patterns of sexual violence emerge from the findings, including victims found partially or fully naked with their hands tied, sometimes to trees or poles; evidence of gang rape followed by executions; and severe genital violence. Sexual abuse also continued in captivity — released hostages reported forced nudity, physical and verbal sexual harassment, sexual attacks and threats of forced marriage.
Sadly, this report was necessary. Too many people are denying sexual violence was part of these attacks, people who in other circumstances say #BelieveHer. Perhaps it complicates their simplistic 'good guys and bad guys' view of the world, clashing with the narrative of 7 October as an act of liberation.
Needless to say - except on social media - this doesn't justify the ongoing horrific death and destruction in Gaza. (And if that's what you thought I was getting at, please go away.)

@Nead Thanks. I really haven't been uploading photos for several years, I just download them to my computer & backup drive every so often. I don't really have a use for putting photos in the cloud.
It really is nuts how a young person can fly to Israel and go play genocide games in Gaza for a while and then just fly back to their own country and expect to be treated like a normal member of society like it's some kind of genocide summer camp.
Yesterday and today have been good for butterflies. These all came to visit our garden & stopped for a while. Makes me glad we can provide food for butterflies when the news is full of their decline & habitat loss. I’m telling myself that the comma is the same one we saw as a caterpillar munching our gooseberry leaves.

Ben Collins explains how The Onion is thriving by saying what others won’t—and why human-created satire matters in a media landscape increasingly saturated by noise and A.I. slop.
The Israeli army’s Arabic-language spokesperson, Avichay Adraee, issued the latest forced evacuation order for civilians living in nine areas in Khan Younis, southern Gaza. Adraee said the army was expanding its operation in deep Khan Younis.
The evacuation threats put most of the city under evacuation threats, except some areas of Al-Mawasi. The so-called Israeli safe zones, including al-Mawasi, are constantly attacked despite the army forcing Palestinians to move to those areas. t.me/QudsNen/174271

"Black women's unemployment is rising."🤡
All by itself? Magically?
The entire US, Dem and GOP, is going on close to 24 months straight of being publicly and loudly anti-civil rights (anti-DEI).
"Black women are more likely to work in the departments targeted by DOGE."
is like saying,
"Harbor seals are more likely to be found swimming in the water that happens to be rushing into a great white shark's rapidly opening mouth."🤡
Dudes have been open and vocal about their desire to drive Black women out of leadership positions in the federal government, higher education, and private industry. That's their goal.
And yet, we still talk about these outcomes as if they're just an unfortunate side effect of generalized downturns.

You can't have race and class: you'll win neither contest/war. Battles aren't wars: race and identity have lost most of the hills they won from 2020-2024. > The useful political lesson from Zohran Mamdani’s college application washingtonpost.com/opinions/20…
@StockliRacer you're just lazy -- or don't know about archive.li....
Also, my synopsis is right there:

I share things across Buffer from when I am doing my reading. I don't really consider anyone actually reading anything I post, to be honest.
If someone paid me to newsshare, I would stop and translate everything through archive.li
@StockliRacer besides, it's always me sharing this:
> You can't have race and class: you'll win neither contest/war. Battles aren't wars: race and identity have lost most of the hills they won from 2020-2024.
And the citation is just optional. I don't care if anyone clicks through, I only care if people read this far:
> The useful political lesson from Zohran Mamdani’s college application
@StockliRacer because I love you: Full Article Synopsis: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ > Zohran Mamdani’s old college app highlights how America’s rigid race boxes fail messy real identities. He checked “Black” and “Asian” because he’s Ugandan-born, Indian-heritage — but our system lumps “non-White” into crude buckets. The uproar shows how racial identity is policed, politicized, and still misunderstood.
