Did some politicians hold up signs while the Nazis laid out a fascist plan in a government meeting? That’ll stop em!

Every time the Republicans get control of the government they fuck over my current career trajectory. They’d been nothing but harmful to me and my family for three decades now.

Innuendo Studios summarized it rather well with:

“We’re not like those other fascists. We’re young, hip, and successful. Come back, baby. It’ll be different this time.”

His whole series on White Fascism and the current Alt-Right is a phenomenal summary of today’s right wing “conservative” (fascist / nazi) landscape in an internet-connected age. Nothing has truly changed for them: they’re still a suicide cult based around attacking “the other” (whatever they pick to attack) and then narrowing who is allowed to be at the top until everyone is dead.

Georgia elects horrible people: news at 11 (but only the executive branch approved news agencies, everyone else has been locked out to preserve alternative fact distribution)

I’m sure Putin has someone we can outsource the work to instead of directly hiring one of his people.

Thank you. It’s been a goal of ours for a long time, but current events have accelerated things.

It’s interesting times for everyone these days, so stay safe out there.

Thank you, and stay safe too. Yet more interesting times ahead for us all.

My German Visa was just approved. Off to a university asap. We take two STEM professors with kids going into engineering as a group out of the US. I have a feeling we’re just the leading edge of the sluice gates opening.

That’s an impressive display of marketing prowess. You’ll never forget it, regardless of how stupid it was.

I like to talk about this in my CS classes. We get compiles to compile code by compiling a compiler with a compiler. It’s an infinite regression problem that terminates with someone writing a compiler in assembly… Which requires an assembler to assemble… So you write an assembler in machine code directly on the processor.

If we lost all of the currently compiled programs one day, even with the compiler source code in hand, it would be some serious work to rebuild our current tool chains.

South Korea is one of the leaders, last I heard. They’ve had a massive shift towards childless couples.

You can do the same thing with an optical mouse.

The GOP is in favor of this.

Americans love to talk shit about other nations being pussies. To be fair, we also love to talk about how brave and special big boys we are. We then run around afraid of everything, but I’m sure those two attitudes are not related.

Our national anthem “home of the brave” is hilariously sad. We got attacked once in 2001 and we’ve been shitting all over ourselves ever since.

It would be very hard to start a show like Sesame Street because of the fascist right. Swings and roundabouts.

He knows, but does he care? Does it actually matter to him? I have been watching and meeting all too many people who have no idea just how dangerous the world can be when there’s no rule of law and institutions protecting us. They want through life focusing on little personal gains and never truly understand how bad the world gets once Conservatives start showing their fascist foundations and the mask comes off.

There goes yet another pillar of our layered defense of the US. Stripping every bit from soft power, economic power, political relations, geopolitical position, and now outright military defense of our allies doesn’t seem like a trajectory to protect the nation, but more like a “how can we get Russia to love us like our father never did” kind of move.

So… He’s evil. He’s supposed to be a represent of the country at some level. He should attempt to live up to the ideals of a democratic republic. He should take his role as a leader of the whole populace, not just some of it.

These statements are not jokes, they are statements of his role as a leader. They hold weight and power of his office. Claiming his officer’s power is a joke about hurting people demonstrates what he wants to use the power for. He feels the power of the state should be used extrajudicially against citizens of his nation. That’s evil.

Genau! Having had to very slowly translate documents from the government, consulates, and Deutsche Bahn, I am acutely aware of how much not knowing the language is a hurdle.

We’re working on learning German fast. While I’ll be in the Berlin area, so daily life can be mostly in English for a while, we need to integrate and the language is a huge part of that.

Yes. It all boils down to getting a job offer, but those are fields and qualifications with possibilities.
