When I say I love Cheesecake Factory, I mean this cat who was found malnourished and wandering through a Bay Area mall parking lot. Cheesecake Factory has since been rescued and nursed back to health. He's now healthy, vaxxed, & sweet, but still needs a loving home www.petfinder.com/cat/cheeseca...

Alright BlueSky user, show yourself

I do think when historians look back the period the exact moment where it flipped and started going the other way won’t be anything any politician did but my Minneapolis neighbors weathering the worst of the regime in the streets, rallying together, fighting back, and winning

looked at in longer perspective, it's striking how much this resembles the premodern system of exclusion, rents, and personalist connections, which was--and this part's important--radically worse than the modern system of impersonal rules and general taxation

This one's up there but speaking from experience, the LP gets a few hundred or so people on the ballot nationwide every cycle, and one or more of them doing something bizarrely insane and/or tragic and/or criminal happens at... a higher rate than the general population, I'll put it that way.

It's only socialism when you tax the wealthy & use it to fund services for the poor & middle class. Otherwise, it's just sparkling kleptocracy! Related: Family farmers have made more take-home income than non-farmers every single year since 1997. Yes, that's AFTER farm debts & expenses.

Post early, post often!

Everyone thought Lula was cooked, hopeless. Then he bought a phone and started posting and now he's gonna get a 4th term. The lesson is to never stop posting.

American conservatives are constantly bemoaning the decline of aesthetic standards and calling for a return to tailored suits and classical Roman architecture, but are now forced to defend the Cheesecake Factory. A constant tension between the Brooks Brothers patrician and the Kid Rock populist.

if voting didn't matter they wouldn't be working so hard to stop you

60% of Americans live Cheesecake Factory to Cheesecake Factory.

This opens up possibilities for the rest of my profile. Much appreciated!

if you ever happen to see someone post a joke you don't understand or discuss a subject you aren't familiar with, you are well within your right to complain, and perhaps even scold them if necessary. you are their customer and you have rights

2002: Nevada Q2 defined marriage as between a man and a woman. Passed 67-30. 2020: Nevada Q2 recognized marriage regardless of gender. Passed 62-38.

For fuck’s sake

Graphing calculators.

it continues to be funny to me when i hear people go "but obviously these dsa types just want to destroy the market and implement stalinism" while, meanwhile, they are actually *more* pro-market than the mainline democrat incumbents they're challenging

That it'll fail because they lack sufficient consolidation and centralized control does not make it trivial that the president of the United States is trying to steal elections and produce an illegitimate sham Congress. It is open rebellion against the Constitution and morally tantamount to treason.

I usually try to explain it like this: picture Jesse Singal as Aimee Therese. Now imagine they're Haudenosaunee. Doesn't look so much like the Antonine Plague was caused by headbangers gambling now, does it?

"We’ve dealt with society-altering technological change before—channeling it to elevate rather than harm the public interest." Exactly so, and it doesn't require us to put our faith in people who see God in P(A|B) = P(B|A)P(A)/P(B). Great read.

"Honestly, if we end up with two hundred and twenty-five seats on the White Council, I would be disappointed. I would rather Sauron keep control of Middle-earth by five seats than have the Fellowship win by five, because then we’d be hostage to the Ents." buff.ly/9WluK1y

shitposts aside, this one is serious, my loves: if you’re just waking up and you have any service online running PHP 5.4 to latest, you need to take it down RIGHT NOW and don’t put it back online until after it’s patched absolutely catastrophic vulnerability dropped in the middle of the night

details leaked. this vulnerability is a full unauthenticated unconditional remote code execution exploit against any service running on a PHP version from 5.4 until latest yeah if anything deserves CVSS 11, this is it. this is CATACLYSMICALLY bad.

You also don't turn around the Russian Second Pacific Squadron overnight, and for similar reasons.

we need you to rename rent to $500/ month and gas to $2/ gallon
