Critics of Schumer’s leadership took his comments Sunday as yet more confirmation that his relentless and unquestioning support for Israel—despite the genocide in Gaza, the enormous drop in public support for US support of the Israeli government’s policies—as a sign that he remains far out of step with the general public and party membership, especially younger Democrats.

 

“No matter where [people] come from,” Melania announces during one of her grating voiceovers, “we are bound by the same humanity.” Though she speaks with a thick Slavic drawl, she refers only obliquely to her “country of birth” (Slovenia is referenced, directly, once). A parade of immigrants, including French-born fashion designer Hervé Pierre, appear to reinforce this vaguely cosmopolitan angle. “Opportunities, equality,” says Tham Kannalikham, a designer who moved to the US from Laos aged just two. “It’s really the American dream.” These are the good immigrants serving the Trump administration; a far cry from the ones in cages, the ones tear-gassed on the streets of Minneapolis, the ones festering in a jail cell in El Salvador.

 

Ratner’s film plays like a gilded trash remake of Jonathan Glazer’s The Zone of Interest in which a button-eyed Cinderella points at gold baubles and designer dresses, cunningly distracting us while her husband and his cronies prepare to dismantle the Constitution and asset-strip the federal government. “White and gold – that’s so you,” purrs one of her lickspittles as she busies herself with the colour-scheme for the ball and the incoming first lady allows that yes indeed, this is true.

Gnome is soooo annoying. You can't customize anything without "tweaks" that barely work.

I definitely prefer the customization of KDE.

I usually see people discussing distros but I feel like picking the right DE makes much bigger impact.

Yeah I often wonder about this too. I think that the package manager is another major factor. But I think I might be happy with any distro running KDE. I've gotta get outside my Debian bubble to see.

 

“That’s a Grammy that every artist wants — almost as much as Trump wants Greenland. Which makes sense because, since Epstein’s gone, he needs a new island to hang out with Bill Clinton. I told you, it’s my last year! What are you going to do about it?”

Carnists are the ones without any brain.

I fail to see how many of the tactics of fascism

Leftism overtly opposes the tools of fascism: sexism, racism, imperialism, nationalism, etc.

Maybe you should more reading before posting about this topic.

I’m actually using Eco’s version,

No, you're not.

Bruh do some basic research... Here's a 101:

14 characteristics of fascism

It's 100% right wing. Even so-called leftists who went fascist are no longer leftists.

Both sides of the state's aisle are right-wing.

[–] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com -3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yes and "both sides of the aisle" are fascist.

to claim that Epstein was a Mossad agent,

1000% Accurate. Tons of evidence. Openly served foreign (zionist) interests.

Maybe he wasn't officially hired and trained by Mossad, but that's just formalism.

[–] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 days ago

Your problem is assuming that "Mussad level training" is some kind of complicated thing.

It's just another course on racism, murder, terrorism, etc.

Fascists are incompetent regardless of nationality.

Yet another fash-enabling take from the NYTrash. Please don't post this rag of imperial disinformation.

Here's a better take: Was Alex Pretti the subject of a targeted assassination?

 

The Model S and Model X are both built at the company’s Fremont, California factory. Once production ends, Tesla will build Optimus robots in the same factory space, according to Musk. Production of Tesla’s Cybertruck, which is made at the company’s factory outside of Austin, will continue.

Can't stop the grift lmao.

 

I've been using Debian (and formerly Ubuntu) for many years.

But I've been wanting to tell people that I use Arch.

I've been considering the following distros:

  • Arch
  • Cachy
  • Manjaro
  • Any others?

I'm leaning towards Arch or Cachy. This is for a mediocre laptop that I'm planning to use as a media center: Kodi, Retroarch, Steam, etc. Should I even be using Arch for this? Maybe Debian is more stable...

Sorry if this has been asked before. Thanks for any tips!

 

The car involved in the crash, a Maserati Quattroporte, was found abandoned a few blocks away at Mammoth Avenue and Milbank Street. It did not have license plates.
