HOBO SYMBOLS:
Almost from the beginning of the existence of hoboes, as early as the 1870s, it was reported that they communicated with each other by way of a system of cryptic "hobo signs", which would be chalked in prominent or relevant places to clandestinely alert future hoboes about important local information.

Brian Ward - Protest before you can't
Had a full-on existential crisis today. I was panicking this morning. I’ve been feeling helpless and terrified about what’s going on right now. So I worked through some of that and tried to channel it into something productive.micro-blog.brianward.us
Military buildup is never something I can feel thrilled about, but in this case it is a sign of good news: a Europe-Canada alliance to shed US dependence is taking shape with impressive speed.
At least •somebody• understands the new kind of threat the US now poses.

I'm not a fan of this kind of thing from 404: 404media.co/dogequest-site-cla…
There's a lot of people who own Teslas who have owned them for years and wanted to buy an EV to help the environment. I'd wager the majority of them are probably not exactly fans of the direction things are going in the states, so all you're gonna do is end up harming the people who are probably among the most on your side.
