Thanks Bethesda…

Walters outlines five areas where he sees this as beneficial for Oklahoma schools:
Parental rights

Ok

Ending social indoctrination in classrooms

So far so good…

protecting patriotism in curriculum, stopping illegal immigration’s impact on schools

Wait… didn’t you just say you were gonna end that?

Said it before, I’ll say it again…we are, absolutely, without question…in the Biff timeline.

JD Vance? Is that you?

Touché

That sounds so very made up…but goddamnit I want to believe!

Sure…but can it run Crysis?

I drive 130-160km(depending what route I take) a day getting to and from work 5 days a week. It’s about 2hrs driving time daily. £70 of fuel a week roughly. The fact that these people are spending probably just as much time, and magnitudes more money to go the same distance… seems like an angry mob and a BBQ could solve this problem…

As a fellow Canadian, make sure to not let PP get in so that we’re on the good side of the next ww…

…damn… pretty smart for 10 squirrels in a trenchcoat…

Listened to an interview, shortly after Binden stepped out, with a young Muslim Dem guy who was trying to drum up support in the DNC. He, and the people working with him, were really concerned about the alienation of the Muslim voting block. From what he was saying, it seems the community would usually vote Dem because the GOP are really hostile towards Muslims. But most traditionalist Muslims are hard C conservative, and on the surface level have a lot in common with the “Evangelical” nutjobs that seems to be running the show. He found some success in gaining wider support, but not enough to get a stance change on Gaza or to try and keep the Muslim voters with the Dems.

All that said…it wasn’t, according to exit polls, the Muslim voters that really killed them on this run. The biggest shift, from what I understand, was with the Latino community. And you might think “Well shit, Trump shit talks Latinos all the time, he’ll there was that shit he was saying about Puerto Rico not too long ago!”
But with any large and generalised community, there’s a lot of “in group hatred”. There’s always going to be an “other.”
“So what if Trump hates Puerto Ricans, I’m Cuban, his hate of this group won’t affect me…”
And this is how leopards ate their faces.
It’s the human condition to focus on the bad bit that’s most recent and to assume that you’ll be doing great in the future…

Yeah, not sure what the actual options are, but hopefully they get it sorted.

I’m dearly hoping that the whackjobs don’t decide to just kick it off early. I had a really bad panic attack this morning. I’m a bit better now, but still trying to stop feeling like today has been the start of a massive existential crisis.

Ah, yes…the old “leopards are eating people’s faces, but how was I supposed to know that it’d be my face?” bit.

It’s a symptom of one of the great things about America. The freedom of movement.
Also a symptom of living in isolated conditions. As a generalisation, living in a major metropolitan area means being exposed to a load of different types of people. Can’t hate all black/LGBTQ2S+/Muslim/Asian folk when you interact with them every day.
Unfortunately we’re pretty tribal by nature. Always looking for the other to be against.

Hamas

Trump’s victory puts to test his earlier statements that he can stop the war in Gaza within hours, Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri told the Reuters news agency. The Democratic party’s loss is the natural price for its leadership’s “criminal stance” towards Gaza, Abu Zuhri said, adding that “we urge Trump to learn from [US President Joe] Biden’s by

Yeah, that’s not gonna go the way you think it is…
If they thought the arms shipments coming in before were fucking their day up…

The only reason Israel might not glass Gaza when Trump takes power is that they want to move people in after the “unclean” have been erased.

The possibilities are endless.

I gotta get offline now. This morning hasn’t been too great for my mental health.

It’s all hypothetical for now. But with control of the house and senate, there’s not a single thing actually stopping them as long as the rank and file of the GOP stay in line and push everything through. Hopefully there’s enough liberal and further left inclined “Well organised militias” to fight back against anything super fashy…

As @hollyberries pointed out, archive’s servers are on American soil, if there’s a federal ban on improper(“fake”) knowledge, their assets could easily be seized. No laws would have to change from today for them to do this, they’d just have to think up a somewhat reasonable excuse…

And also good to keep in mind is that digital storage is volatile. Yes it’s impractical to have a few terabytes printed out, but if stored properly, it’ll last longer than digital media storage.

Another thing to consider:
If things go full on crazy, like they seem likely to do, being in possession of improper knowledge could be a capital offence when the thought police come knocking.
