The White House presents: Easter brought to you by Nabisco!

To their credit they’re destroying government to pave the way for oligarchy very efficiently

Corporate Dems will pick literally any other choice, including full blown christofascism, before allowing a class conscious Democrat politician to succeed

They’ll hold little signs then put them away when their masters tell them to

Honestly? I see Republicans hit with SS and Medicare cuts going postal before our Democrat representatives bother to even try to be effective

So the thoughts and prayers approach

This is what happens when you train your magical AI on a decade+ of internet shitposting

The same technology the billionaire class wants I use to eliminate payroll entirely

Old thin clients and mini PCs are great for this. Many either have a half sized PCIe slot or can take a second network interface using the WiFi m.2 slot and a 3d printed bracket to mount the nic port.

You’re best off splitting the routing and WiFi tasks into separate hardware. Buy yourself a used ruckus unleashed r550/650 or r510/610 depending on how much you want to spend for wifi then run routing on whatever hardware is fit for purpose. I usually slap OPNsense on something like a dell/wyse 5070 j5005 mini PC, any mini PC with a PCIe slot will allow you to build a 1/2.5/10GbE router with open software. Chinese N100 router boxes are cheap now too, or you could reuse an old mini PC of some kind.

I don’t like rolling my own router using arm boards anymore, router distro support for them is unreliable and j5005 pulls <10W anyway.

Meanwhile the Carolinas are burning down

Here’s another: the human ear is phenomenal at determining where in 3d space a sound is coming from. Most animals can only determine direction and can’t really place a sound vertically. Watch what your cat or dog does when they’re looking for the source of a noise, it takes them a lot longer.

Just remember, this is the worst things have been so far. The Trump admin still has shovels in hand, it can get much, much, worse.

The proletariat: exhausted cricket noises

They’re terrible at their jobs and deserve blame.

I mean, they’re fantastic at setting up opportunities for record fundraising. Actually achieving our political goals, not so much.

The supreme court handing the Florida election to W was the tipping point. We still could have pulled ourselves out of the shit at that point. It would have been ugly and Republicans would have fought it every step of the way but that was the opportunity before the far right media networks had consolidated their holds on radio and TV.

This is what I’ve been telling the accelerationists for a decade. You don’t know what’s going to step in and fill the political vacuum (I mean, we do now and it’s angry white men playing at being gangsters) but I guaran-fucking-tee you it’s not going to be the social democracy or socialist utopia that leftists want. It’s going to be a bunch of thugs looting and burning govt for personal gain.
