Fight against daunting odds, because it’s the right thing to do, and because sometimes you win.

BREAKING NEWS: Voters turned out in numbers not seen in decades to stop the far-right National Rally from taking power in the French National Assembly. Polls predicted a first-place finish for National Rally, which instead came in third in initial results as polling stations closed.

I really appreciate all this appreciation as a nerd with feelings about ARM chips but hearing this as someone who's daily is an 11 year old Lenovo (running Bodhi Linux) its a little like someone reveling in the surprise that their car still drives like new after 10,000 miles or something

I'm genuinely glad you like this, I'm considering one to play with at some point, but it's crazy how different the expectations are

"The roadway once carried between four and six lanes for motor vehicles, despite 88 percent of people in the area traveling on foot and squeezing into 30 percent of the space." And now Adams wants to give it back to cars?

They know exactly how they themselves arrive though and that's what this is all about

Wow, real banana republic stuff. I'm glad our presidents can launder money and associate criminally without worrying about this kind of thing.

No expectation that they'll give you what you want, but the alternative has been clear they will come down hard on organizing that needs to be done. I spend a great deal of my life now in union organizing, and a good rule of thumb is don't make things harder for yourself.

“I love America like Anthony Bourdain or Woody Guthrie did” is the phrasing I’ve settled on

Not to be corny but I do think the ongoing aspiration to make America a pluralist democracy of equals is righteous, beautiful, and worth honoring, even if it has more often been the struggle of minorities & dissenters than the policy of the government. 🇺🇸

The New York Times ratfucking operation in favor of Trump is so incredibly blatant that it’s beyond parody. If you saw ratfucking like this coming from a newspaper in a movie, you’d probably think it was a bit over the top.

Voting in our current scenario is like getting on top of hydration when you're training for a race. It's not gonna do shit on its own but you're just actively shooting yourself in the foot if you don't do it.

We're having turkey today, go figure

Happy 4th of July! In the wise words of Ben Franklin: The Bald Eagle is a Bird of bad moral Character. Too lazy to fish for himself. The Turkey is a more respectable Bird, though vain & silly, a Bird of Courage, and would attack a Brit who should presume to invade his Farm Yard with a red Coat on.
