It been all over since the guy[shrub] who lied us into two 20 year wars & brought us the Patriot act, got re elected
Haliburton won, the DoD who can't pass an audit continues to have an open checkbook & ever increasing budget

Then we moved to Hope & Change, that turned out to be great for banks & insurance companies

Every cycle is portrayed as vitally important with a platform of
We Suck Less
The Donor Class calls the tune

Allowing money to overtly be speech removed the pretense of representation for the rest of us
The expectations have changed
Avoiding the appearance of impropriety
Degraded to Maintain Plausible Deniability
Eroded to
Prove it in a Rigged Court of Law Beyond any Conceivable Doubt no Matter How Absurd

Enabling all this is a solid 1/3rd of the population that have reduced empathy
Energized by the various corporate media that have been consolidated into unanimous support for our not so benevolent overlords

"German Research Centre for Geosciences in Potsdam, says that “carbon capture and storage” (CCS) can be done safely in the saltwater and limestone pores at 600 to 1,200 meters below the seabed. “It will either dissolve as carbonic acid or bind with the limestone,” she says. Injection sites in the North Sea are the German government’s main solution for so-called “unavoidable emissions,” like those from the cement and other industries"

Basically another subsidy harvesting scheme
There isn't even the expectation that the co2 will stay in porous limestone, but instead end up making the oceans more acidic, which is already a problem with elevated atmospheric co2 levels

A crisis of excess consumption & growth can't be solved, by growing in a slightly different way

Sometimes when trolling conservatives I'll exclaim
Stop It
You Know Better
At that point they'll either shut up or lash out with an ad hominum

Every accusation is a confession
Didn't Donnie "redirect" HS funds to the border in 2019?

My wrist will not tolerate using a mouse for more than a few hours
You use a mouse on your phone?

Israel is an extreme example of colonization, formed with the barrel of a gun under the guise of returning to homeland. Somehow being at the wrong end of a genocide entitles Israelis to commit their own? Why does the USA continues to support & fund an overt theocracy?

Project 2025 = Powell Memorandum 2.0
Conservative after having their wildest dreams come true packing the supreme court

They needed new dreams
The result a 900 page dream journal
Complete with their very own self induced Armageddon/purge

Conservatives over played their hand
Playing for the tie only works if it's close

We should all make sure it isn't, Again!

What's a mouse?
I use a trackpad
The lenovo version of trackpad on my thinkpad has buttons on the top & bottom along with trackpoint that works when nothing else will..
I even have a usb keyboard with a trackpad

I bought a gaming mouse [not logitech] to set up a distro that wouldn't install by trackpad for $12 once the install finished, it sits on a shelf

A forever mouse is a solution in search of a problem

The customer base of people who use mice is shrinking, most people use their phones or pads a majority of the time

At least Wexton supplied some of the data to make it all work
I wonder where the data to develop the program came from?
Can AI be developed ethically? or do the datasets have to be so large the job requires pilfered data?

Artist is defined as someone who can afford to defend their rights in court
It's great for the guild of lawyers, they would describe the situation as billable hours...

Not an "artist, songwriter or journalist" You're on your own
You're free to be pillaged for you data by ai
There is no ai without stolen data
