A system that classifies antipathy to the idea of fascism as terrorism and uses financial sanctions to shut down activist collectives with anti-fascist views will eventually classify using a non-Omarchy Linux distribution as evidence of terrorist leanings.

That’ll trigger those whose conservatism is a reaction to an aspect of themselves they are repressing

Maybe he was talking about a SpaceX rocket?

This would be the Kentucky equivalent of that photo of miniskirted students in 1960s Iran

They invented PostScript, PDF and Type 1 fonts (the first popular vector font format before TrueType/OpenType) and created Photoshop, which pushed the boundaries of image editing. Then, sometime in the last couple of decades, they decided that enshittification is where it’s at.

Breakfast cthurrito

If he were to turn around and begin the long, hard process of undoing whatever he can of the harm he has done and trying to be a force for good, then he’d have a chance of redeeming himself. Though I suspect he’s too inherently narcissistic for that to be a possibility.

Hope his cats find a good home

Under fascism, if you’re not from a scapegoat minority, you still get to practice your religion, and if you know your place and stay out of things that aren’t your business (such as political questions, lofty ideas about human rights, or why a new family suddenly moved into the Rosenzweigs’ house across the street), you get to keep what you have, and if you’re lucky, you might even get some slaves.

This bodes well for them getting an exemption from the ban on Red Chinese RAM.

The people of ancient Egypt undoubtedly had a vernacular culture as rife with jokes, in-jokes and miscellaneous stupid shit as any online forum. Most of it presumably didn’t make it into stone or papyrus, and even if it did, with its context being long gone, we wouldn’t get it.

Apparently archaeologists discovered a transcription of an ancient Sumerian joke, which requires a lot of explanation to even imagine that it could have been funny. A hypothetical ancient Egyptian meme would probably be a bunch of hieroglyphs, a scholarly annotation explaining that they don’t make sense, and some hypotheses on what’s actually happening, possibly with wild speculations tenuously linking it to the handful of surviving texts and inscriptions we have to go on.

You don’t say?

Can you explain it in limerick form?

Good on you for building it yourself and not just prompting a chatbot to make something and taking credit.

Meaning not MAGA enough or not tankie enough?

It’s not impossible that Microsoft put the Windows source on Github (as they have done with DOS) before this is ready for use.

Is this vibe-coded?

Also, surely there’s no way the American people would vote for Trump twice

JTHM was great; it actually mercilessly mocked the darklings who were its nominal following, unlike a lot of more pandering goth comics that mixed the gentlest digs at pretentiousness/formulaic music/ridiculous dance moves/wretched poetry with stock tropes (vampires, New Orleans, beauty-in-darkness). Vasquez was the kind of cranky bastard who could really write.

Donnie Darko was, IMHO, hugely overrated. It felt like a student filmmaker trying to do a David Lynch impression, overseasoning it with Hot Topic angst, missing, and somehow getting lucky. Given how his subsequent film, Southland Tales, fell flat, that’s probably not inaccurate.

Running AC whilst keeping one’s entire room open to the searing heat outside is even less responsible than using AI to generate a slop image of someone doing that to illustrate an article.
