Hey, that's the name of my math rock band.
... including a sign that reads "If this is not what you stand for, prove it."
If it fits, it ships.
Fourth box.
I would hazard a guess that undocumented people rely much more heavily on cash (though that is just a guess, do correct me if I'm wrong). And they'll take the property whether there's a "fine" levied or not, so I'm just not seeing the point here.
Oh, wait. It's not a logical point, it's a "the base will eat this up" point.
How do they expect to collect?
The article is short, but more context on "the group":
Following the attack, a classmate at Ikner’s former school, Tallahassee State College, claimed to a local news outlet how the suspect was told to leave a “political round table” club over far-right views he shared.
Reid Seybold said: “He [Ikner] espoused so much white supremacist rhetoric, and far-right rhetoric as well, to the point where we had to exercise that rule.”
“The rumors circulating on social media that ICE Boston employed a militia leader from Arizona to make arrests in New England are not only false, but they are also inflammatory and place the safety of federal officers in jeopardy,”
Good. They should fear for their safety, for entirely true reasons.
They're keeping their punctuation marks private.
Here's the thing: nothing is going to effect change at this point short of civil war, and that doesn't "just happen all of a sudden." There's going to have to be a period of civil unrest ahead of that, where some people - maybe you - are going to do legally questionable things. Setting fire to Teslas is already happening.
For civil unrest to progress to actual change, the few people who start it are going to have to get away with it. In order to do that, those people are going to need lower level support from other people, like looking the other way, not talking to cops bastards, providing places to hide, providing materials. Eventually, those lower level things are going to have to develop into supply chain logistics, producing rations, medical supplies, 3dp weapons, all sorts of things I'm not even thinking of.
But someone else might think of important and necessary things, and we want them to participate when they do. Being a dick about how other people "aren't doing it the right way" (according to you) today will have a quieting effect on their desperately needed participation.
The more people who are pulling in generally the same direction, the better off we'll all be, whether a particular individual is pulling a little or a lot or exactly the way you think they should.
So yeah, any way someone wants to pull in the direction of defeating fascism is welcome. Because it's going to take a lot of people, a long time, and bloodshed.
... the wealthy are in "let's strip mine this bitch!" mode
because ...
That's just the default condition.

Gatekeeping resistance will surely work out for the best.

Note that mask-wearing only makes it so you can't breathe if Democrats want you to do it for public health reasons. Mask-wearing is hunky dory if you're doing it because you're a Nazi who doesn't want to be personally identified.
There should be a monetary cost to register a user account
Hear me out.
SomethingAwful forums are notoriously "human," because they charge $10 for a user account. They don't have problems with spam/scam/shenanigans that exist on platforms where accounts are free.
Fediverse instances are not currently monetizable - and they should stay that way. But there are still costs to operating one, especially if it's very popular.
Instance admins charging a minimal fee to register a user account would address both of those concerns, especially the former, especially in light of how the Nicole thing has taken a horribly dark turn.

Dad for a Minute
Not entirely "new," and not mine - but there was some interest in such a thing expressed over the weekend.
That is all.
Hi. I'm a dad.
This place came up in conversation over the weekend. I'd made a similar thing back when kbin.social existed. It didn't take off at all then, and went down with the ship.
That was well over a year ago now, and the landscape has changed (in oh so many ways). Seems like a good time to jumpstart something like this again, and so ... here I am.
Automod?
Wondering if anyone has had success with an automod. This one was brought to my attention, which I'm told "should work," but I would be interested to know other people's experiences.
CHICKEN LEG
When Arlo was a little puppy, he would sit like this, with one hind leg kicked way out to the side. I started coming over and saying "CHICKEN LEG" and then grabbing the top part of that leg and giving it a few squeezes.
He still sits like this. I still squeeze the chicken leg.
Destroying My Instagram Reels Algorithm With Terrible Conspiracy Theories
If you know Milo Rossi, you know this will be fun.
Also, my takeaway here is that Meta is turning the propaganda up to eleven.
Someone should recut episodes of "Friends" so that they only include Ross, and call it "Friend"
The "Friend" universe would be one where Ross is the only sentient being in existence.
Trump pardons former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich | CNN Politics
President Donald Trump on Monday pardoned Rod Blagojevich, the former Illinois governor who was convicted and sentenced to prison on corruption charges surrounding his time in office.
“It was a sort of a terrible injustice,” Trump said. “They just were after him. They go after a lot of people. These are bad people, the other side.”
Of note, those corruption charges stemmed from Blagojevich very openly trying to sell Obama's vacant US Senate seat in Illinois after the 2008 election.
The English word "four" has 4 letters. Are there any other numbers where the English name for them has that many letters?
I have no idea how one could find this out.

USAID’s website has dropped offline without explanation in the Trump administration's two-week-old funding freeze of U.S. foreign aid and development funding.
Opening the microwave to retrieve my sandwich: "Ow! This is hot!"
If I heated it up any longer, it would be a glasswich.
Isn't tortilla chips and frijoles refritos just beans on toast?

Man, I hate to bring this up again ... sync?
This time it seems like federation to Fedia from elsewhere is working okay, but that federation from Fedia to elsewhere is not.
@jerry
Federation weirdness tonight?
Not seeing any new content for the last few hours, figured I would make a note of it.
2010 Buell Blast ... for sale?
According to the internet, Buell produced the Blast between model years 2000 and 2009. Buell Motorcycle Company was owned by Harley Davidson. The Buell Blast was a 492cc "sport" bike, and in fact, its engine was based on the HD Evolution Sportster engine of the time, with a cylinder lopped off.
In July 2009, Buell announced that there would be no 2010 model year Blast, with one legendary exception: upon request, you could buy a 2010 Buell Blast which had been crushed into a cube, signed and numbered by Erik Buell.
Then, in October 2009, Harley Davidson announced that they were dumping Buell entirely, and that all production of Buell motorcycles under HD would cease by the end of that month.
That wasn't the end for Buell as a motorcycle name, as Erik Buell went on to create Erik Buell Racing (EBR), which still produces motorcycles with the Buell name. Except, of course, the Blast.
The Blast was not a "great" motorcycle by any means. Buell itself heaped a lot of criticism on

Long ago, doctors would sometimes treat patients with bloodletting. Now, doctors often treat people with bloodinserting.
Bloodreplacing?
Shame
In 2015, EPCOT. One of a group of wonderfully rowdy young women managed to accidentally break one of the light poles in England. She is holding the pole so that it won't fall over.
