Veronica OlsenI think Hegseth quoting fake bible passages from Pulp Fiction, presumably because he doesn't know they're made up, perfectly illustrates the role of religion in right wing extremist politics. It's a tool to control the masses. Nothing more.
In that respect, I am in 100% agreement with the pope.
I'm an atheist, but I grew up in a Christian community. US and Israeli violence is not in line with the core message. (Although there are people in my old community who supports them.)
Max LeibmanPeople are allowed to use the Fediverse differently than you do.
No, your preferences are not norms or mores.
Not every post is about you. (Almost none of them are, in fact.)
Not every piece of advice has to be relevant to you to be valuable.
Nobody owes you a hashtag.
People can post pictures of things you find uninteresting or distasteful. (Yes, they should use alt text.)
People are allowed to post their work.
People are allowed to *promote* their work.
People are allowed to ask for help, including monetary help.
There is more than one thing going on in the world right now.
There is more than one way to help.
That joke is not about politics and doesn't benefit from your reply trying to make it about Trump.
That woman wasn't asking a question.
And yes, she gets her own joke without you explaining it to her.

Like i am getting to a point where i don't know how to write the PR description of "i removed like half of everything because ????"
wow its amazing how entire features just crumble into dust as you start peeling away unused code and code that is only used in tests. sure is productivity to just constantly construct an infinite staircase to nowhere that you have to either keep building or else look up and around and realize that what you are doing is actually nothing
jtonlineSeeing the same GP six weeks later sounds like something out of a different era but this is a very interesting post...

muddle@pluralistic Fascism – what Hannah Arendt called 'organized loneliness' – can only take root when people stop believing that their society will reward their lawfulness with an orderly and humane existence.
Thanks for that Hannah Arendt quote. TIL.

“people who see a severe degradation in the quality of the services they rely on switch their political affiliation to one of Britain's fascist parties – UKIP, the Brexit Party, or Reform – parties that have called for ethnic cleansing in Britain.
“This is what has me scared. We can see the looming economic crises in our near future. If it's not the AI crash that triggers the next wave of austerity, it'll be the oil crisis created by Trump's bungling in the Strait of Epstein. And of course, we could always get a twofer, because the Gulf States that were pouring hundreds of billions into AI data-centers now need every cent to rebuild the LNG shipping terminals and oil refineries…”
