uspol, authoritarianism, this one's serious
Trump signs executive order saying all independent agencies are directed by him, must be loyal to him, all relevant laws affecting them are interpreted by him, and have spies embedded in them which report to him https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/02/ensuring-accountability-for-all-agencies/
Folks, here it is. This is totalitarianism. US friends, if you're looking for your signal of whether or not you should start making other plans, this is the one.

Uspol, rightwing death, whiteness in a nutshell, some ableist wording in quoted toot

It is so darkly funny to me that folks who participated in notorious fascist acts of violence like J6 or this guy showing up at the pizza place who are later set free keep dying at the hands of police bc we still live in a police state.
I mean, largely symbolic acts of the government removing consequences from their actions and deceiving them into believing they're invincible, only for them to turn around and get killed by the armed enforcers of that same government very quickly bc they're still not the ruling class? And are still very much at risk like the rest of us?
If that ain't the perfect example of whiteness in a nutshell idk what is!

how dare you write something like this on the website of a university
"efficient, well-ordered" 🤣
People complain about 'leftist infighting' and how that supposedly means leftists can't get anything done but like, have you ever really looked at what the social dynamics within actual operating governments are like?
Because every time some story about it comes out, it sure sounds awfully similar.

I cleaned my keyboard and accidentally swapped the B and V keycaps.
This has caused me to discover that for writing words I touch type as I have no problem using the board like this... but when I try to copy and paste text? I *do* look at the keys and the swap fools me every time.
Experimental design!
I use a 40% keyboard with three layers at home. I do not know why I bother to do this it's very annoying but the keyboard is so handsome looking...
Maybe this is a sign to move on.

@joepie91 it's almost like not caring about consent is a consistent political ideology and we've been saying that for ages
Bij m'n laatste AH-bestelling zaten wat probeerzakjes van "Yogi Tea".
Op de verpakking: "bereidingsinstructies voor veilige consumptie".
Afijn, die gaan we dus niet drinken en zeker niet kopen...

Oh look, the guy who did a malicious merge in nixpkgs is now complaining about Mastodon being "toxic" and leaving for Twitter instead.
I'm sure it had absolutely nothing to do with people calling out his malicious behaviour on here and not accepting his bullshit justifications.

DHH going full mask off racist is a good time for a reminder that him and his wee pal wrote all that organisational management 💩thought leadership💩 based on running a company with *a few dozen employees* and is basically the manager of your local supermarket posting on facebook about how you can't say anything these days

Ik heb me aangemeld als luisterend schrijver. Er zijn er veel meer nodig. Dus als je goed kunt luisteren, zonder zelf te oordelen, wees welkom denk ik dan. #gelijkwaardigherstel #toeslagenaffaire

I'm so excited to grow more corn this year. Last year was my first time.
Last season I learned that the seed packets aren't joking about not planting corn varieties within 80 feet from each other.
I accidentally cross pollinated my glass gem corn and blue indigo corn and it turned out beautiful and I saved the seeds because it's so fun for decoration. I think giving my friends cute little corn bundles would be well received.
I'll make sure to actually follow instructions for all the sweet corn I'm hoping to grow though lol.

With HomeAssistant you are finally independent from some vendor's cloud service. No matter if the cloud is up or not, your light switches can stop working regardless!
The world if programmers put half the effort into designing robust plugin architectures that they put into architecting their own code today
