Beanie Bastard doesn't seem to comprehend how many business are already completely fucked by all the "negotiations." Containers have been turned away and shipped to other markets. Orders have been cancelled. Even when a domestic manufacturer orders parts, there's a 3~4 month window where those parts get made and loaded on cargo ships. That entire chain has been totally fucked.

Now everyone is going to be blaming "price gouging companies" for tariff (i.e Federal Sales Tax) increases when all the prices go up in six months due to low inventory. Also all the pro-Orange people are cheering on a literal brand new International Federal Sales Tax.

Quotes

  • Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.
  • Democritus: Not from fear but from a sense of duty refrain from your sins.
  • Democritus: Many who have not learned wisdom live wisely, and many who do the basest deeds can make most learned speeches.
  • Democritus: Fools learn wisdom through misfortune.
  • Democritus: Strength of body is nobility in beasts of burden, strength of character is nobility in men.
  • Democritus: Neither art nor wisdom may be attained without learning.
  • Democritus: It is better to correct your own faults than those of another.
  • Democritus: Good means not (merely) not to do wrong, but rather not to desire to do wrong.
  • Democritus: Fame and wealth without wisdom are unsafe possessions.
  • Muammar Gaddafi: We will not surrender. We will defeat them by any means. We are ready for the fight, whether it will be a short or a long one. We will be victorious in the end. This assault is by a bunch of fascists who will end up in the dustbin of history.
  • Democritus: By convention sweet is sweet, bitter is bitter, hot is hot, cold is cold, color is color; but in truth there are only atoms and the void.
  • Democritus: We know nothing accurately in reality, but (only) as it changes according to the bodily condition, and the constitution of those things that flow upon (the body) and impinge upon it.
  • Democritus: Medicine heals diseases of the body, wisdom frees the soul from passions.
  • Democritus: Immoderate desire is the mark of a child, not a man.
  • Democritus: Men have fashioned an image of Chance as an excuse for their own stupidity.
  • Democritus: In a shared fish, there are no bones.
  • Democritus: Education is an ornament for the prosperous, a refuge for the unfortunate.
  • Democritus: The animal needing something knows how much it needs, the man does not.
  • Democritus: Moderation multiplies pleasures, and increases pleasure.
  • Democritus: If your desires are not great, a little will seem much to you; for small appetite makes poverty equivalent to wealth.
  • Democritus: No power and no treasure can outweigh the extension of our knowledge.
  • Democritus: In fact we do not know anything infallibly, but only that which changes according to the condition of our body and of the (influences) that reach and impinge upon it.
  • Democritus: Of practical wisdom these are the three fruits: to deliberate well, to speak to the point, to do what is right.
  • Democritus: 'Tis not in strength of body nor in gold that men find happiness, but in uprightness and in fulness of understanding.
  • Democritus: He who does wrong is more unhappy than he who suffers wrong.
  • Samuel P. Huntington: The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion (to which few members of other civilizations were converted) but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.
  • Marjori Palmer: One of the most morale-damaging aspects of the inflation was the "sack of Germany" that occurred at the height of the (1923) inflation. Anyone who possessed dollars or sterling was king in Germany. A few American dollars would allow a man to live like a millionaire. Foreigners swarmed into the country, buying up family treasures, estates, jewelry and art works at unbelievable low prices.
  • Lionel Robbins: It was the most colossal thing of its kind in history: and next probably to the Great War itself, it must bear responsibility for many of the political and economic difficulties of our generation. It destroyed the wealth of the more solid elements of German society: and left behind a moral and economic disequilibrium, a breeding ground for the disasters which have followed. Hitler is the foster child of the inflation.
  • Lenin: There is no trace of utopianism in Marx, in the sense that he made up or invented a 'new' society. No, he studied the birth of the new society out of the old, and the forms of transition from the latter to the former, as a natural-historical process. He examined the actual experience of a proletarian mass movement and tried to draw practical lessons from it.
  • Che Guevara: Many will call me an adventurer - and that I am, only one of a different sort: one of those who risks his skin to prove his platitudes.
  • Democritus: The first principles of the universe are atoms and empty space; everything else is merely thought to exist.
  • Bertolt Brecht: Lenin is enshrined In the large heart of the working class.

Yes, It Is Just Like The Nazis
Hey so remember Anne Frank? The Jewish young girl who hid in an attic and was killed by the Nazis? The emblematic person we think of when we think of victims of the Holocaust?

She did not die in a gas chamber or in a death camp. She died in a temporary' detention center for the mass deportations which preceded the death camps.
She was in that camp because a patriotic neighbor ratted her out to the German deportation force. She died, not of a bullet to the back of the head or choking on gas, but of typhus. She contracted typhus because the Nazis couldn't realistically deport people at the rate they wanted to, because before the death camps their infrastructure couldn't handle the sudden influx of ethnic minorities they had decided to imprison, and because they didn't care about the consequences of that so their deportation detention centers were unhygienic and prisoners were underfed and overcrowded.

And she was picked up by the deportation force not because she was an illegal citizen but because, just like the US is doing with asylum seekers, she was part of a formerly recognized class of citizens who were legally redefined to lack citizenship by a new administration.

Anne Frank is exactly like the children who have already died in the United State's detention camps. Exactly. Down to the very last detail. There. Is. Not. A.
Single. Difference.

So unless you want to fucking tell me that Anne goddamn Frank was not a victim of the Holocaust, y'all can shut the fuck up with that "stop making concentration camp comparisons, you're diminishing the suffering of the Holocaust" bullshit.

Its also worth noting that her family TRIED to flee to the US and was denied. She was in that camp partly because the US refused to let her refugee family immigrate.

Episode 16 - Cory Doctorow - Livestream 2025-05-13

Welcome Fedi Friends to episode 16 of Fireside Fedi! I'm your host ozoned. Fireside Fedi is a show about folks within the Fediverse. If you're seeing this, you are a part of the Fediverse.

With me today is Cory Doctorow! You might know Cory from such classics as the term "enshittification" that he coined during one of his many presentations. But besides having catch terms that even your grandparents can agree with about today's big tech platforms, Cory is also a science fiction author, activist and journalist. He's had a few books that us on the open social web might enjoy such as "How to Destroy Surveillance Capitalism" and "The Internet Con : How to Seize the Means of Computation". Cory works for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, is a MIT Media Lab Research Affiliate, a visiting professor for numerous colleges. Cory holds and multiple honorary Doctorates. And might I add, I consider Cory to be one of the most charismatic and vocal advocates for digital privacy rights and I am claiming he is now King of the nerds. And there's just so much more to say about Cory, but I recommend everyone just go look up his Wikipedia, because if I have to talk about all of his accomplishments we'll run out of time. Cory thank you so much for joining me and I'm just blown away and honored to be able to speak to you.

The Hidden Empire: How 3 City-States Secretly Control the World

What if everything you were taught about your nation, your freedom, and your government was an illusion? What if The United States is not a country—but a corporation? This mind-blowing exposé dives deep into the hidden history of The Empire of the City—a three-pronged power structure composed of the Vatican (spiritual control), the City of London (economic control), and Washington D.C. (military control). Together, these independent city-states operate as a supranational shadow government… beyond your vote, your voice, and your constitution.

In this electrifying breakdown, we cover:
• The Act of 1871 and how it turned the U.S. into a for-profit corporation
• The mysterious origins and symbols behind the obelisks in each city state
• The true puppet masters behind global wars, banking collapses, and sovereign theft
• How The Wizard of Oz is actually an allegorical roadmap to breaking free from legal enslavement
• Why your birth certificate created a legal fiction—the “Straw Man”—you never consented to
• And how the “yellow brick road” was never a metaphor for fantasy… but for gold.

From the Vatican to Wall Street, from the Crown to the courtroom—this video unpacks the architecture of control that has turned nations into colonies and citizens into commodities.

Toto already pulled back the curtain. Now it’s your turn to look.

How to Deliver Web Design Feedback That Wins


 Feedback that’s clear, constructive, and to the point. Skip vague comments like “It needs more zing” and use these 10 steps to guide your designer to a stellar result.

Revisions are where websites come to life. Whether you’re partnering with a web designer or a web design agency, the first draft often needs tweaks. Maybe the layout’s too busy, the colors feel off, or it’s not quite your brand’s vibe.

The trick to getting it right? Feedback that’s clear, constructive, and to the point. Skip vague comments like “It needs more zing” and use these 10 steps to guide your designer to a stellar result.

1. Start with the Problem, Not the Solution


When something’s not working, don’t jump to “Make this blue” or “Move that button.” Instead, explain the issue: “The button’s hard to spot” or “This section feels cluttered.” This gives your web designer freedom to find the best fix.

Instead of:
"Use a different font."
Try:
"The text feels hard to read. Can we make it clearer?"

2. Be Specific


Feedback like “It’s not quite there” or “It needs more pop” is tough to act on. Zero in on the problem:

  • Are the images too dark?
  • Is the spacing uneven?
  • Does the tone feel mismatched?

You don’t need design lingo—just describe it clearly.

3. Prioritize Your Users


Your website’s for your audience, not you. Ask:

  • Does this design make sense to our visitors?
  • Is it easy to navigate?
  • Could anything confuse them?

User-focused feedback helps your web designer create a site that works.

4. Avoid Feedback Overload


When your team sends a barrage of separate notes, it’s chaos. Conflicting ideas slow things down. Instead, have one person collect and unify feedback into a single, clear message for the web design agency.

One voice means faster progress.

5. Use Visuals to Clarify


Words can be vague. A screenshot with annotations—circling issues or adding notes—makes your point crystal clear. Any basic markup tool does the job.

Even better, share an example:
"This site’s clean navigation feels great—can we aim for that?"

6. Focus on Brand, Not Personal Taste


Dislike a color? If it’s in your brand guidelines, it’s likely intentional. Before critiquing, ask:
Does this align with our brand?
Personal preferences can derail focus, so tie feedback to brand and user goals.

7. Organize Your Feedback


Don’t send feedback in random emails or chats. Bundle it into one document or message, sorted by page or issue. For example:

  • Homepage: Banner feels too heavy.
  • About Page: Text blends into the background.

This keeps your web designer on track.

8. Be Honest, But Respectful


If something’s off, say it straight—no sugarcoating. But don’t be harsh. Designers put in real effort. Try:

  • “The layout’s not quite our style yet.”
  • “This is close, but it needs a bit more flow.”

Direct and kind feedback builds trust.

9. Highlight Priorities


Some changes are critical; others are nice-to-haves. Tell your web designer what’s urgent—like “The call-to-action must stand out”—versus optional, like “A different image might work.” Prioritizing keeps the project efficient.

10. Embrace the Journey


First drafts are starting points, not the final product. Revisions shape the design into something great. Give clear feedback, expect a few rounds, and trust your web design agency to deliver.

Final Word


You don’t need to be a design expert to give killer feedback. Be clear, user-focused, and organized, and your Singapore web designer will create a website that nails your vision.

Less frustration, better results.

Lake Michigan - Stone Circle
Beneath the waters of Lake Michigan lies an ancient mystery a stone circle estimated to be over 9,000 years old, older than even Stonehenge. Divers and archaeologists uncovered carefully arranged stones along with carvings of mastodons, megaloceros, and most baffling of all—a cobra, an animal that never existed in North America.

How could ancient people have known about such creatures?

Were they tapping into a lost knowledge or had distant connections we've yet to uncover?

Whether it served as a sacred site, a ceremonial gathering place, or something far more mysterious, this submerged circle continues to challenge everything we thought we knew about early civilizations.

One of my official duties at my last job was managing my Company's OIDs. We had/ have a 4 digit OID that was assigned to us by IANA and since I managed our PKI my custom cert templates used our IANA assigned OID so I assumed the responsibility of managing it all across all the departments. But Hexadecimal Administrator sounds cooler.

i've sunk as much money as i can justify right now into off grid power. it's a huge risk to buy this stuff in advance of building the structure to house them, but with all the tariff stuff going on and everything solar coming from china, i had to choose between either doing this now, or possibly paying double for it in a few months, which would have been as huge loss, although now it looks like we are negotiating a better trade deal china, which i hope works out regardless. i think the tariff on china currently is around 30%

Quotes

  • Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.
