Some Nordic symbols are co-opted by the far right, but a single mjolnir isn’t proof of anything. It’s entirely possible he’s merely a garden variety shithead.

I was gonna say Kiss From A Rose, but only because nobody would see that shit coming.

We deserve a fresh, genuinely impartial court with term limits - three decades ago.

I don’t know why people got on your case about it, it wasn’t a bad question. I only felt that a rhetorical point had to be made

I enjoyed reading your #commenthistory I’m going to go #drink now and be glad I #emigrated byeeee

Hard not to assume we’ll see the implementation will end up working out in the favour of this court’s political allies. In fact, if it was precise enough that both sides could apply it the same way, I’m sure they’d find that a flaw.

You chumps really fucked it this time

Headline from today: “Supreme Court Justice warns that the president is now a king”.

👑 💀

SCOTUS has been trying to hump democracy to death since 2001. The fuckers have just about finally managed it, and we’re all screwed.

If you were trying to actually build a green party from the ground up in American politics, would you platform local candidates, build your bench, develop campaign offices nationwide, and actually try guiding policy - or would you drop your hat every four years so that disillusioned voters can protest vote for you?

What does Stein do?

To sum up: The GOP and its SCOTUS are all actively trying to overthrow democracy in the wake of an actual coup attempt, and a party called Democrats are now legally permitted to have them shot (and absolutely will not do that). Further, the current president is being rubbished by a corporate press so hungry for ad revenue that they prefer bad presidents.

A sad finale, played off key on a broken down saloon piano on the outskirts of a forgotten ghost town. I shall never cross its threshold again in my lifetime.

That’s pleasing news. Thanks for disabusing me of some unwarranted pessimism

Blatant Linux propaganda on lemmy smdh

I used to mention AV a lot, but STAR is my preference now. Of course, any improvement to the voting system makes it easier to further improve the voting system (which is why improvements are against the interest of either of the main two parties - they will not help)

If it wasn’t for the people and things that currently exist, things would be different!

One of the opinions of all time

Comfort media, yeah. But also: “A film like Wall-E exemplifies what Robert Pfaller has called ‘interpassivity’: the film performs our anti-capitalism for us, allowing us to continue to consume with impunity”.

So it’s not just a problem with media having no artistic ambitions, or being entirely valued in terms of box office or binge metrics - it’s that even the media which seems to share and extoll our values are simply part of maintaining our compliance with the status quo.

Art is always being constrained in these ways because good art is subversive. Fallout 1 was good art.

I couldn’t have done it if I stayed in the states. No judgment on anyone who lives in a structurally car dependent area and doesn’t have a good alternative

It would be at least comprehensible that China is risking world war over this island if it made some kind of strategic sense as a conquest, but reunification appears very much just plain ideological. I hate that.

I may be an outlier, but it feels great to be car free in a walkable city.
