Often enough little more than conceit, but you technically can’t immigrate to a place you’re already a citizen in. Brought my immigrant family with me though, so I’m happy enough to be called an immigrant along with them.

It’s the worst thing about being an American expatriate is watching shit happen again.

Careful what you wish for. You’ll get a “Tolkien Cinematic Universe” pile of algorithm driven ersatz ‘content’.

I need an ironic WWII style scaremongering propaganda poster about class war. The 1% have class awareness. Do you?

Real talk, they know there’s enough mineral wealth in the asteroid belt that even some of it could make either A) everyone effectively rich or B) everyone a slave to their massive wealth forever. They’re voting with their rockets.

Journalists who are afraid of speaking truth to power are not doing their job. I would tell them “Get fired if you must, fuck your job - you’re a journalist, not a lobby boy.”

Some jobs are not a mere job, they are a societal need and a calling. Should we accept doctors who would prefer to keep their job if it meant giving substandard care?

That’s an extreme example maybe, but given the state of corporate news media and the effect it’s had on society, I’ll stand by it.

It does rather underpin the value of strong social safety nets, doesn’t it? When the only way to survive is to keep your job, it’s not essentially different than forced labor.

1995 San Diego tank chase (lemmy.world)

In 1995, Shawn Nelson, a former Army tank commander drove into a National Guard armory and stole an M60A3 tank. He drove the tank out of the armory, and onto residential streets where he began crushing things in his path. He drove the tank onto a highway and was pursued by a number of San Diego Police Department cars....

A meme from which all irony has been fastidiously removed.

I’m loving this format (i.imgur.com)

Image description: An image macro with two panels. In the first a bunny labeled “BIDEN” is holding a clipboard while looking up to an older woman labeled “VOTER.” In the second panel, the bunny is saying “would you like to keep Trump out of the white house” and it becomes clear that the clipboard, which is obscured...

The game is rigged. First past the post forces this kind of devil’s bargain, and if we ran an America simulation a thousand times you’d get bored of seeing it. Additionally, neither party’s leaders will ever have any motive to accept an alternative voting system at the national level. Unless you’re advocating accelerationism (itself a deeply unethical route), it makes sense to keep playing the rigged game for now while we build a dialogue about radical reforms.

Must be nice. Somehow the introverted night owl couple, in my case, were blessed with an extroverted morning lark.
