Notice when news sites use Trump photos framed to show his ear bandage prominently.

Robophobes are the real problem, you think you know a person!

But would people still swim in a pool if they could see the wind turbine blade on the bottom? What if it were an L-shaped pool?

If you look up this artist, which I don’t recommend, you’ll find this on their About page:

I am a centuries old racist cryptid. I cannot be stopped, I cannot be killed. I am fueled by my intense racism.

The rest of the comics very much live up to this statement, and then some. This is a Nazi comic, comparing minorities to insects.

I dislike Harris’ police background but I find it difficult to argue that the Biden admin doesn’t do a lot of good. I dislike a lot of people in politics more than Kamala, and her opponent more than most. Plus, someone “joked” about a Harris/AOC ticket, which I find way too exciting to believe is possible.

I don’t really find it worthwhile to draw comparison’s to Hilary or her failed campaign. The circumstances are different, the candidates are very different. At least Harris is comparatively young and vibrant, possibly enough to energize some otherwise apathetic people to the polls.

I guess I’m going fully red-string crazy because yeah, we’ve been under a russian propaganda storm for years now and like… why does the cia just let them? I think we have to recognize that the global information apparatus is allied against the ignorant public, their mutual targets.

Ah, that sounded familiar as you described it! Thanks for the correction and context! I’d forgotten how early into multicore we still were. Well that also explains why it doesn’t have specific fans then, it’s “basically” “just” parallel programming (which people still don’t understand!)

Yeah the university running a PS3 cluster was fun news! I recall there being a brief run on the devices as people thought there’d be sudden academic demand for them as supercomputers. I think you could run “folding at home” on them as a screensaver? Which (if I remember right) kind of would make ps3 the biggest research computing cluster around for a while!

I had essentially the same reaction. Tech shops are hard to unionize (see above for why, hah) but I think “joint equal ownership” as rebranding for starting a union shop is a good approach to poaching some people out of the capitalist system.

Anyway, here’s the post:

Hah, yeah I suppose so!

Also, and this is wild I know, I live in New Orleans and somehow did not know about Joseph Déjacque! So thanks for the links, I’ve got some books to add to my reading material it seems.

I saw a statistics that 12% of Americans eat 50% of all beef produced in the USA and I cannot stop thinking about it. Everytime I eat a burger I wonder if I’ve passed into the 12%. When I look at a stack like this, I see a beef 1%er
