This is the type of strategy folks need going forward. I've been going to local grocers, farmers markets, and thrift shops almost exclusively. It's cheaper and more communal. My next step is to grow or commune with people who grow food directly. Ditto for other material needs.

Did you know there's an open source, open hardware, offline music player, built on an ESP32? And that it can play your music library from an SD card? And it has a headphone jack? New video, about the awesome Tangara project: youtu.be/Kb7vKCfsGeE

Good to know they’ll be speaking out against oligarchic billionaires using reactionary social conservatism to enable government power corrupting the free market and tilting the scales against the hardworking family owned small businesses. Uh… that’s what he meant, right?

What many liberals and even leftist need to understand is that we cannot go back to the way things were before Trump. Both the material and ideal conditions no longer exist to return to a republic shaped in the mold of the old order. It is impossible to even think in terms of the way things were.

How different the world might be if Americans learned to think in terms of power structures, to always ask why someone is seeking power, and not to accept answers that are only about ego and not about structural features of society So many people only know "good/evil" as an analytic frame

The truth is Harris won the election, it’s nobodies fault but the oligarchy that Trump is in power right now. The election was clearly stolen and any country in the world would have been mass protesting the day after. Stop blaming each other and start looking at your real enemies. #3E

So real question, why is the online presence of many mutual aid groups only on Meta platforms?

Sure, let me donate so you can continue doing nothing. Now is clearly the perfect time to be asking for donations for the next election.

if I understand American politics correctly, progressivism is something that requires 60 senate votes to work, while national conservatism doesn’t require any votes at all

Defy fascists, organize locally and online, protect and support the marginalized, unionize broadly, be active in mutual aid, join city and school councils, amplify independent journalists, learn to identify disinfo and educate others in media literacy, practice self care, don't wait for the cavalry.

marc ignores the fact that we aren't generally angry at Craigslist Craig, even though he helped kill newspapers, because he doesn't seem to have meant it and basically bounced after getting rich. No one hates Wozniak really. We hate you guys because you won't leave us alone.

I like the differences between ChatGPT and Gemini when you tell them they get something wrong. ChatGPT: I’m sorry, you are correct and here is why (proceeds to give a closer to correct answer). Gemini: No you are wrong and here is why (proceeds to dig in its heels no matter how wrong it is).
