@Lino_JR Everything old is new again, I guess. My brain still defaulted to the July 31 date for the past few years anyway, even when the date was August 3 or whatever.

#Politics It just occurred to me that Trump is utilizing the same tactics as Marxists have used to recruit people to their cause. You start the cry of "they're ripping us off, they're getting wealthy at our expense, down with the pigs, etc. Then once you have them all worked up to a frenzy, they'll follow you anywhere, and you can control them like sheep. This a brand new opinion on my part, so maybe I have it a little wrong, heck, maybe I have it all wrong.

That’s actually pretty spot on. #FDR called it government by organized mob, though to be fair he was describing something a little different. But it is absolutely the mob mentality. If you’ve ever found yourself on the wrong side of an online mob, as I unfortunately have, you have a bit of a taste. The mob can do no wrong, even when they’re wrong.

Elderly lady blew me a kiss!

I was out on my lunch. As I returned to my parked car, I noticed a large SUV struggling to reverse out of their parking spot.

I walked in front of the SUV and calmly waved and talked the tiny lady through backing out and turning the wheel and exiting.

Before she drove off, she smiled and blew me a kiss 😀

That could be someone's grandma or mom.

I hope they tell the story about the handsome brown man with beard who helped her - emphasis on handsome of course!

Three Hollywood movies were released in 1995 with internet themes: the Keanu Reeves cyberpunk film Johnny Mnemonic (with an accompanying website), The Net with Sandra Bullock, and Hackers. As well as these 3 films, I look back at William Gibson's now extinct mid-90s website, "William Gibson’s Yardshow", and the equally lost to time Johnny Mnemonic net.hunt, an online scavenger hunt. cybercultural.com/p/cyberspace… #InternetHistory #90smovies





#EU retaliates against #Trump’s #tariffs as #TradeWar escalates

The #EuropeanUnion hit back Wed at Trump’s #steel & #aluminum tariffs w/its own levies, announcing tariffs on billions of dollars’ worth of products, including bourbon & motorcycles, while warning of further retaliation.

The 27-nation bloc said its 2-stage response would target ~$28B in US exports. The announcement of the European measures came at the same time Trump’s tariffs took effect.

First they came for the welfare state, and the Democrats "reached across the aisle."

Then they came for the Supreme Court, and the Democrats voted for Clarence Thomas, et al.

Then they came for the election finance law, and the Democrats said, "We really should do something about that."

Then they came for voting rights, and the Democrats promised to defend them.

Then they started to dismantle the national government, and the Democrats composed strongly worded letters.

Joy_intl reshared this.

#introduction
I've been lucky enough to be born and surrounded by the necessary conditions to recently scale from the 64.5% vulnerable/poor class to the 32.4% middle class of my country. I'm just a blink away from poverty.
I have the privilege of having spare time to think about the injustice we endure as a society.
I'm looking for a community to learn/help more.
I want to focus my energy and time on solutions. I would love to support any Open Source projects that need Spanish Translation.✊🏽

The gold reserves that fund his war on Ukraine & Europe.

Africa is also a major source of fissionable minerals, just like Ukraine, Canada, and Greenland. Uranium mining.

We can have one of two things — but not both.

We can either have a society that tolerates (celebrates?) millionaires and billionaires polluting the planet and destroying the biosphere...

Or we can have a planet with a healthy biosphere but with fewer millionaires and NO billionaires at all.

Your choice.

I made that decision 45 years ago. Unlike me, society, particularly American society, chose millionaires, billionaires, and destruction. Lose, lose, lose. Yay me. Yay comrades and fellow travelers. I will continue anti-billionaire-and-destruction 'til I die. Maybe some billionaires will be taken out before I go. I do not expect the destruction to end.

Even without the problem of climate change, the extreme concentration of wealth is unsustainable for many other reasons. And on top of that, it sucks.

Keir Starmer’s government held a private meeting with Elbit Systems, Israel’s largest weapons company, Declassified has found.

The meeting occurred in December 2024 and was attended by three representatives from Elbit Systems and three officials from Yvette Cooper’s Home Office.

It took place months after Israeli forces used an Elbit drone to kill three British military veterans in Gaza who were protecting a humanitarian aid convoy.
