The cartoon depicts a person inside what appears to be prison bars, with their body partly visible. They are holding onto the bars and have a cane or stick on the floor next to them. There is bread and a key nearby. The text above reads: "IF YOU KEEP THEM BUSY WITH BASIC NEEDS... THEY WILL FORGET ABOUT THE FREEDOM THEY LOST".

The image is a quote graphic featuring W.E.B. Du Bois, an influential African American sociologist and activist known for his contributions to civil rights and social science. The quote emphasizes the importance of assessing national prosperity beyond mere economic indicators like millionaire counts or GDP; it suggests that true wealth lies in factors such as health prevalence, public school efficiency, literacy rates, and access to education—all indicative of societal well-being.

The image is a piece of social commentary art by Peg Averill, known for her works that often address societal issues. The text "Jail is just a kind of Warehouse for poor people" suggests a critical perspective on the justice system and its impact on marginalized individuals. It implies that imprisonment disproportionately affects those who are economically disadvantaged, potentially due to systemic inequalities within society.

The image features a quote attributed to Robert A. Heinlein, which reads: "YOU CAN SWAY A THOUSAND MEN BY APPEALING TO THEIR PREDJUDICES QUICKER THAN YOU CAN CONVINCE ONE MAN BY LOGIC". This suggests that changing people's opinions through appealing to their biases is faster and potentially easier than convincing them logically or rationally. The quote emphasizes the power of prejudice in influencing group decisions, even though it may not be based on logic or evidence.

The comic strip presents a commentary on societal influence and media conditioning. It suggests that the ruling class manipulates public perception to encourage people to emulate wealthy lifestyles, thereby legitimizing their own power structures through social emulation. The character with text bubbles is juxtaposed against another figure walking away, possibly symbolizing resistance or indifference towards such societal pressures.

The image is a black and white poster with text overlay. At the top, there are two quotations attributed to different individuals: Simón Bolívar on the left side saying "By ignorance we have been mastered more than by force," followed by Being Caballero's quote at the bottom stating that 'the greatest weapon a man can hold in his hands is a book.' The central visual shows an individual, likely male based on appearance, deeply engaged with reading.

The quote attributed to Aldous Huxley suggests a dystopian vision where society willingly embraces its oppression, becoming reliant on technology that limits critical thinking and independent thought. This reflects themes commonly explored by Huxley in his works such as "Brave New World," which warn against the dangers of societal conformity and technological advancement at the expense of individual freedom and autonomy.

The quote by Aldous Huxley emphasizes the importance of evidence-based reasoning and skepticism. It suggests that not having concrete proof or facts before accepting something as true is a significant moral flaw, which reflects on individual judgmental capabilities.

The meme juxtaposes a statement attributed to George Orwell from his dystopian novel "1984" with an illustration. The quote, "Football, beer, and above all gambling filled up the horizon of their minds," is about how certain activities were used as distractions by those in control ("Big Brother") within the fictional society depicted in the book. This was done to keep people's focus away from any potential rebellion or resistance against oppressive regimes.

The image is a compilation of two photographs related to Edward R. Murrow, who was an influential American broadcast journalist and director general for CBS News from 1943 until his death. In the first photo on the left, we see what appears to be a black-and-white photograph of Edward R. Murrow holding up a piece of paper with "CBS" printed on it, indicating affiliation with Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS), which was one of America's leading radio and television networks during that era.

The image is a meme that uses characters from the animated television show "Futurama" to make a political statement. In this context, it appears to be commenting on the relationship between different groups within society as perceived by one of its characters. - The character labeled "THE RULING CLASS" represents those who hold power or influence in a social structure.

I'm in dire need of an RDP "mouse jiggler"! When you have a security-martinet IT team, but need to read stuff on two connections while building on the 3rd, the two you aren't activating time out in like 5 minutes. IT says "As defined".

So, I need a way to send a jiggle or something to the inactive servers so that they think they are doing something and don't time out!

@Blaise

Are these physical servers in your possession? Do they have wake on Lan set to true in the BIOS. Make sure you have ICMP turned on and the ports enabled and setup a cronjob to send them a ping. You can open the port for only a specific machine if openning ICMP to the Internet would be an issue.

@Unus Nemo Unfortunately, I have no physical access and limited security rights on most of the machines I work on. The power and automotive industries are super-big on compartmentalized security.

The image contains a quote attributed to Stephen King, an author known for his contributions to horror and supernatural fiction. The quote reads: "Read whatever they're trying to keep out of your eyes and your brain, because that’s exactly what you need to know".

The image is a graphic comparison labeled "vs" that contrasts two entities: the United States (indicated by "US") and an unidentified adversary ("THEM"). The left side of the divided background uses blue tones, depicting figures with halo-like rings around their heads against neutral backgrounds. These figures suggest representations of the US or its actions as ethically sound. On the right, darker shades are used to represent "THEM," featuring a figure with horns and red eyes in an ominous setting.

The image is a quote from Martha Ellis Gellhorn, presented alongside her photograph and biographical information. The text addresses the importance of being involved in politics for maintaining control over one’s life and freedom. It suggests that without political engagement, individuals risk losing their autonomy as society's standards evolve. This message resonates with themes of empowerment through active participation in governance.

The quote by John Lennon emphasizes the power of individual choice and collective action. It suggests that if people universally refused to engage with media content designed primarily for profit, it could lead to a societal shift towards more peaceful outcomes. The phrase "another television set" refers metaphorically to passive consumption habits or distractions from deeper social engagement.

#EnidOK which is run by the Emmanuel Baptist Church MAGA nuts in and out of city government had a small #NoKings protest, but it was strategic. It was billed to take place at Champlin Park but I have a sneaking suspicion they didn't get a City permit for that, but no matter--they lined the edges of said park along where U.S. 412 and U.S. 81 intersect, also known as Van Buren and Owen K. Garriott. Some damn good signs and 2 painted umbrellas there, too. "Are we great yet? I just feel embarrassed!"
