FreeTube is great! I'll wait for the normal release which is soon enough for me--when these things happen I just check it every so often, knowing they'll figure out how to fix it like they always do.

Theater to make him look like a villain that people want to shoot at.

That, or so the DA could use him as a human shield.

Ukrainian friends, as an American I'm sorry this has happened, sorry both for my country and for yours. It may be a small consolation as our new regime withdraws aid, but remember that most Americans are still on your side as we have been throughout the war.

Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦 !

Maybe not, even probably not, but with Europe's help it can at least keep fighting for now, with the possibility that something could happen in US or Russia to change the equation in that time. That's all very uncertain, but what is certain is that if Europe agrees to this Putin/Trump terms of surrender, it's over for Ukraine immediately. And then other countries will be next.

That guy is forgetting that the jobs report is produced by a government agency, so what makes him think they're going to report accurate numbers?

Fuck him. First, he'll do what we wants regardless of whether you concede to his demands. If we wants to withdraw troops, he'll withdraw them, no matter what concessions you make to him in hopes of preventing that. Look at his history. Look at how he has treated the other party in Every. Single. One. of the "deals" that he's made. He fucks them over. NEVER believe he'll hold up his side of whatever bargain you make. He won't.

Don't ever concede to this bully. The more you concede, the more demands he'll make, like with a blackmailer. Call his bluff. Say, "Sorry, we don't agree. If that means you'll withdraw, then don't let the screen door hit ya where the good lord split ya on the way out." Bam! End of bullying and if he didn't want to withdraw, he'll find some excuse no to go through with it (or probably just lie and say you agreed to do something for him behind the scenes).

Or maybe make things worse.

I'm willing to take that chance.

  1. I didn't rage or call voters fools in that post, I just said what happened. Voters picked trump. They didn't listen or buy into what the Dem candidates offered. They're not going to listen to them now.

  2. Yes, we need allies, but more than that we need leaders. Calling for the ex-presidents and ex-candidates to be that for us didn't work and is not going to work. We need new leaders to speak out, guide, define an agenda, inspire people to turn out, to build a movement. I don't know who they might be, but without them it's gonna be hard. If you remember Occupy Wall Street, it had a lot of momentum but without defined goals and coherent leadership so it fizzled out. What I'm saying is we aren't going to get that from the old guard in the headline. They can support it but they can't be it.

Yep, I'm on the latest version.

That's not an answer to my question or relevant to my post, which you can re-read if you'd like to actually address my questions. Instead you've changed the subject to whether they've stopped loving their country. I see no evidence to support that and expect that they are mourning for it like many others are. They tried to lead and the people answered them--they said, "shut the fuck up and give us trump"

I'm having the same issue on Freetube, it pops up and says it can't play the video because Youtube requires being signed in. Sometimes if I retry a couple of time it'll play, but usually keeps getting the same error. Freetube is great though, maybe they'll come up with a solution soon.

Biden and Harris said plenty about what his actions would be before the election, and the others did as well to some extent. Not enough people were swayed by it. What are they supposed to say now? "Told you so"? Why should they say a damn thing at this point? No one listened when it could have made a difference, what good would it do?

 

If AI is going to scrape content I post or emails I send to people who use gmail, etc. I would like to include a few sentences in each item that will fuck with any AI training they get used by.

(I especially want to stick it in any emails that google will have access to because certain people I want to communicate with refuse to use anything but gmail, even for conversations just with me, after I've specifically asked them to. 😠 )

So I've searched and found many online "nonsense generators" but they use AI to generate silly sentences for you. That's not what I want.

What I want is something that generates grammatically incorrect entences, sentences with words that would never follow each other, and whatever kinds of sentences would cause AI training methods to learn wrong and meaningless patterns of language, so that when it generates stuff based on that it will be obvious crap that is useless for any purpose.

I figure someone has created this by now. Does anyone know where to find something I can use for this?

 

I'm glad to see Canada taking a strong stance, especially the direct action against Musk with the Starlink contract. Mexico is also standing strong and Trump has already backed off of them for now. BTW ever notice how the closer friends the countries are with us, the worse he treats them?

There was particular glee in Trump’s takedown of Vice President Kamala Harris, whose gender and multiracial heritage were relentlessly attacked in the “manosphere,” a loose network of misogynistic communities with influence through gaming, social media and other cultural forces.

A network poll shows that 49 percent of men 18 to 29 voted for Trump; the number was 53 percent for men ages 30 to 39, an increase over 2020 results in both categories.

“Gender is the story of this election in a lot of ways,” Miller-Idriss said.

Christian supremacists urged followers to drop to their knees in prayerful gratitude for the defeat of the “Demon-crats” and for the victory of a man they say will usher in “Bible-based governance.”

 

Per anti-vax conspiracy theorist RFK, Jr., Trump promised him control of our public Health agencies in deal for him to drop out and endorse Trump.

 

We are here.

(written in 2003) Studying the fascist regimes of Hitler (Germany), Mussolini (Italy), Franco (Spain), Suharto (Indonesia), and Pinochet (Chile), Dr. Britt found they all had 14 elements in common. He calls these the identifying characteristics of fascism.

 

The suit alleges the mandate violates the Oklahoma Constitution because it involves spending public money to support religion and favors one religion over another by requiring the use of a Protestant version of the Bible. It also alleges Walters and the state Board of Education don’t have the authority to require the use of instructional materials.

“As parents, my husband and I have sole responsibility to decide how and when our children learn about the Bible and religious teachings,” plaintiff Erika Wright, the founder of the Oklahoma Rural Schools Coalition and parent of two school-aged children, said in a statement. “It is not the role of any politician or public school official to intervene in these personal matters.”

Keep watching to the end for what you can do about it.
