I just wish the CDP (the biggest player on the left in Japan) weren’t against nuclear energy. But other than that I too am pleased to see it. Maybe if they can buck their traditionalist conservative authoritarian streak, their country may finally make a dent in its persistent stagnation.

Someone’s got to do something about these fucking chicken shit publishers. I think it’s time for the industry to move on without them. Everything can be self published now. We have the technology.

ah, republicanism. the party of delusional psychosis and unhinged political violence. yep. that tracks.

Guilty as charged! I’m deathly afraid of having to deal with fecal matter any more than I absolutely have to.

… but lemmy and masto do completely different things

masto’s a microblogging platform like twitter and lemmy is a link aggregator like reddit

honestly i kinda wish there were a rebuild of email that is compatible with the old system but was redesigned from the ground up to do the job better

i like a mutual relationship where neither of us take it in the ass

“We need as many golden parachutes prepared as possible, people! This shit is going DOWN!”

for real though, that’s exactly what happens if we can finish the republican party and bury it in the dustbin of history where it fucking belongs.

In any first-past-the-post electoral system, it will always settle toward there being two parties - how this came out the LAST two times America purged one of its two parties was that the remaining surviving party split.

So, after the GOP is well and truly DEAD, the Democrat party will massively recruit to fill the power vacuum and then it will begin to polarize. It will polarize into progressive and regressive factions, most likely. And when that happens, we all board the progressive train and systematically purge what remains of the old Democrats TOO.

At some point while this is going on, hopefully we can dismantle FPTP and replace it with proportional representation elected through ranked choice.

What, you mean, after laying off all the creatives?

Who could have ever imagined such an unprecedented outcome except literally fucking everyone.

Also apparently basic sanity.

No one in their right mind wouldn’t want to punish the Republican party - especially to death.

Yeah. It needs to die.

The GOP needs to be taken out to the gravel pit and fed very fast, very hot buckshot until it stops moving.

But because we can’t get away with using that weapon to do the job, we’ll just have to use these icky Democrats instead. Even though the Democrats don’t WANT the Republican party to die, we are using the tools we have to do what must be done.

He needs to go back to Canada. Or cuba.

i think you might have dropped your “/s” homie.

because of course i fucking judge them XD

however nice they are to me does not absolve their cruelty toward others

You fucking BET I’ll judge someone for the groups with which THEY CHOSE to associate.

because its name is Mastodon, something that when people google it pulls up a band.

Also because it’s trying to be a hot fresh new thing but it’s literally named after an animal that’s extinct.

If it had a catchier and more unique name it probably would have caught on more.

we’re tired of being sold a shit sandwich that may someday become edible? wow who would have ever predicted this utterly unprecedented turn of events except absolutely fucking everybody.

I wish it would take a break from ME, but unfortunately this shit knows where I live.

… Is he sneaking up on Kamala Harris in the lower left???

The returners should have never agreed to “peace talks” in Vector; they should have burnt it to the fucking ground when they had a chance.

Jesus fucking christ literal real life Kefka Palazzo shit going on. Even the cartoonishly evil villains of 90s era video games are eclipsed by the outrageous fuckery of the heinous clowns you find in real life.
