How many women do the Republicans have to kill before everyone else is too outraged to let it go on?

I share your view so I agree with the sentiment but I think the facts say otherwise, unfortunately.

Both sides are contributing to the gerontocracy and the problems associated with it.

  • If Ruth Bader Ginsberg had retired during Obama's term, Trump would have had one less Supreme Court Justice.
  • Dianne Feinstein wouldn't let go while in mental decline.
  • Biden is doing the same damn thing as Feinstein but with the freaking presidency. He might've been the safe bet to take back the white house in 2020 - but couldn't the Democrats have coughed up someone who isn't OLDER than Bill Clinton? That's fucked up IMO.

Imagine if the older politicians of both sides of politics retired on time.

I was quoting Doctor Who ;)

Don't you think he looks tired?

Makes sense, maybe he knows exactly what someone like himself is hiding!

He's kind of given out the secret to defeating MAGA. Pity them, don't hate them. Challenge them, don't lower yourself to their level. Beat them at the polls, not with a pole.

The MAGA nuts are victims of the MAGA movement too. They've literally been tricked by a failed casino owner nepo baby into thinking that he and other rich people are gonna save the country, share the wealth and fix their sex lives.

I can't back up that last part, but I feel like it's implied by all the incel and anti woman shit they keep drumming up. Coincidentally they really are obsessed with penises which I'm sure says something about them I'm not qualified to determine.

That's one area I'm proud of Australia for. We frequently deny travel for problematic people - most recently Candace Owens was denied entry. Most likely for saying that Australia should be invaded, but she's said a lot of horrible stuff so who can tell!

The WordPress codebase is open source, with Automatic being a major contributor. Automatic also offers WordPress hosting via their .org domain. WP Engine (WPE) is a separate company offering its own WordPress hosting and products like ACF, which enhance the WordPress ecosystem.

The issue between Automatic and WPE is that WPE relies on Automatic’s update servers to support their for-profit service. Given WPE’s scale, it’s questionable why they continue to do this, as many smaller companies set up their own servers for updates.

I work with WordPress and CI/CD systems, and even one man operations maintain independent build systems to avoid vendor dependencies. When updating, they use copies of original code hosted on private GitHub accounts and their servers rather than relying on external resources.

This matter should have been resolved in court. While Automatic’s actions have caused some backlash, they’re understandable as protective measures. WPE’s reliance on free resources without their own package/update servers is, frankly, inexcusable at their scale—it’s essential for customer support and product quality.

In short, this is about a competitor misusing free resources under "reasonable use" terms, facing consequences, and shifting blame rather than helping their disrupted users.

Good luck getting the Australian government to do anything. We might have the most embarrassingly ineffective government in the western world.

I like the idea social media is for kids only and adults are banned. If that applies to advertisers and bots too then it could be a winner!
