The actions on the universities resemble the ongoing occupation and colonialist genocide in the middle east. The authorities fabricate that the protesters are violent, as a pretense for using violence against the protesters. And the authorities completely deny their use of violence even though it’s documented on social media. And, as in the the last 9 months, the mainstream media are fanning flames on the wrong side of the truth

Interesting. I took a peak. Looks like a criticism against the encampment and its organizers for not being militant enough (for lack of a better word). The piece opens pretty powerfully:

As the zionist entity’s siege on Gaza enters its ninth month, the now-dead People’s Circle for Palestine at UofT joins the ashes of Northwestern, McMaster, and numerous others as an exemplar of liberal cowardice in the face of a livestreamed genocide.

I definitely agree that government should be for the people; I wish I felt like it was. With first past the poll (versus proportional representation), the absurd legal protections of corporations, social media, targeted marketing, corporate control of the news, and lobbying - our democracy is on life support. It’s a travesty

Thank you for fighting the good fight, Beaver. On bad (pessimistic) days, our government seems like a firewall, preventing the needs and wishes of everyday people from encroaching on corporate wealth multiplication

The LPC feels so ineffectual right now. It’s disheartening. Our political and next election situation seems pretty similar to the one south of the border except that our election isn’t for another year

What an absolute @#$%ing embarrassment. I’d like to see actual regulation of the industry not see our government give handouts to a lets-pretend-to-self-regulatate PR ploy

Thank you for that! I love Tobias and Michael in scenes together. I think I might do an AD rewatch, of the first 3 seasons anyway

Thank you! I updated the post title to TENTATIVELY FIXED. Your comment suggested to me that I was probably safe having a go with cleaning the socket myself (versus seeking out some mini vacuum). I used a toothpick-like tool - it was a poker to get a phone sim card deck to pop out. Using the tool and gravity I got a very small amount of lint out. This has notably improved the issue; I only experienced it once afterwards versus multiple times. But I’d like to test it out some more when I have more time, hence the tentative. Thanks again!!

Great suggestion, thank you!

There’s got to be a better way of saying that. I love Tobias, and Michael, and Arrested Development
