SOMEBODY NICKED A PIGS FUCKING HAT. LMAO

If we've learned anything from Google Talk & XMPP, it's that if Twitter does end up joining the Fediverse, the solution is to actively change the ActivityPub spec to continually break Twitter's shitty code as often as possible (while still keeping compatibility with each other, ofc)

Ooh! Wouldn't it be funny if Twitter's devs saw our custom emoji and were like, "Oh! They already have an ad system!" only to look at the API specs and then go ask Gargron where the ad API is?

I know things are bad. But we'll make it through somehow. We are survivors and that's what we do.

The eternal communist mood is. "I wanna have an animal people/furry/monster collective that fights against 'empire.' "

going to tell Boris to fuck off, back in a bit. have fun

Now as a blog post!

Existence as an abstract concept of suffering. A plea to the left. http://unlicensed.plague.doctor/2019/12/13/a-plea/

all these fucking outlets, even the "liberal" ones (or perhaps especially the liberal ones?) here in the US are fucking up the takeaways from the election so badly.

Labour did not fail to capitalize on Boris Johnson being dysfunctional:

Labour literally could not capitalize on it.

Because of Brexit, there was nothing Labour could have done. Literally nothing. The only way that Labour would still have most of those seats is if they themselves supported hard-brexiting months and months ago. It was all anybody cared about. Nobody who's voting Tory cares that Johnson is a moron just like nobody who's voting Republican cares that Trump is a piece of shit.

The media will keep getting this wrong on purpose to make the liberal intellectual class feel better about themselves while the planet dies. It's super dope, really excited about it.

western leftists need to start seriously studying the history of successful decolonialization movements and learn how to apply them at home because nativist conservatism is just the hydra-like outgrowth of colonialist rhetoric. india was not decolonized just because gandhi was a sweetheart, it was because he was backed-up by an army of heavily-armed sikhs swearing bloody retribution if the authorities did not negotiate square with him. you have to leverage strength your enemy acknowledges.

qwerty users, dvorak users, lend me your ears and eyes:

if Trump doesn't get impeached -- and theres a good chance he doesn't, given McConnell's habit for ignoring facts and obstructing everything -- the US is gonna hit a wall. Shit won't be good. At that point, nothing is impeachable, the president is uncheckable. That precedent would honestly be damning.

seems like a good revolution catalyst tho,
