@mekkaokereke There was a genuine push to end or limit qualified civil immunity for cops after George Floyd was murdered. Establishment Democrats resisted and even undermined that push, keeping in place a source of danger to BIPOC and LGBTQ+ folks, deflating the base, and setting the stage for Stephen Miller telling ICE agents that they have "total" immunity to kill people.
They should have listened to us then. They should listen to us now.

Simple.
My websites have no cookie banners,
because they don't use any non-essential cookies and don't track visitors.
Yours shouldn't either.
🚨 Attention EU Citizens 🚨
💬 Chat Control could mandate all services to scan all private digital communications of everyone residing in the European Union, and it's currently waiting to be green-lit by the EU Parliament tomorrow.
According to Dr. Patrick Breyer a digital rights expert and former Member of the European Parliament: "Chat Control is being pushed through the back door, in a form even more intrusive than the originally rejected plan."

Gonna try to sell some art today. Commerce not Capitalism.
It’s not just vibe coding; SAAS has just destroyed people's ideas of how fast computers are or what anything costs.
I'm in a... somewhat awkward conversation in a different forum where people are talking about a database migration that's "millions of rows" and "as many as 57k transactions per month" and I'm sitting here thinking, ok so on average a transaction every 40 seconds or so, have you considered putting it on an SD card and mailing it.
Y'know when you're doing this big multi-step DIY project that involves doing many things and getting parts and tools and materials and you're holding all this stuff in your head and you notice how much of a big noisy scrungly mess it is up there, all the thoughts and worries and tasks overlapping each other like spaghetti all going in different directions, and you grumble "This is ridiculous, a guy can't get anything done with all that yammering going on," so you start up the computer and the text editor and write out what's going on up there, not because you don't know what's going on but just because thoughts go wibblywoobly like gummy worms and writing goes left to right in a straight line and to turn your oh-I-need-to-do-this-and-that thinkings into a ah-I-need-to-do-this-THEN-that shaped Plan you need to untangle the spaghetti and make it go in the long straight writing-shaped hole
Do you ever think of that like brushing your brain
Like oh no my brain's all tangled I've gotta spend a few minutes giving it a nice brush and make it purr
