Hunter Biden not being in the Epstein files is not surprising to the real hunter heads, several sex workers have said that he was extremely respectful and never made them uncomfortable. He likes two things; crack and women.

MUNICIPAL WASTE’s TONY FORESTA Doesn’t Regret Creating Controversial DONALD TRUMP T-Shirt: ‘F**k That Guy’

“Beware that, when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster… for when you gaze long into the abyss. The abyss gazes also into you.”

― Friedrich W. Nietzsche

Made some improvements to the nginx setup so that things should be a bit smoother with streaming services.

So far so good having pleroma and lemmy moved to the VPS. CPU and ram usage increase is reasonable.

Think there might be some truth in this matrix...

Testing out using rclone to mount the media library for jellyfin, it seems usable so far but scanning the entire library would take an insanely long time.

The image below is of Rep Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D, WA3) US Congresswoman from SW Washington. In between the murder of Renee Good on 7 January and the murder of Alex Pretti on 24 January, Gluesenkamp was one of 7 democrats who voted to fund ICE. The bill would not have passed without them.

She and her husband own Dean's Car Care on NE Lombard in Portland.

Hello Fediverse!

We are Hypostasis, a progressive metal band from Greece.

Formed some 15 years ago, we have unfortunately been on and off (mostly off) for various reasons ever since. Life happens.

We released a 100% self-produced EP back in 2016, played a few shows, and were forced back into oblivion shortly after.

In the meantime, we were growing, writing new music, and planning a return. It is almost time now. We have recorded our debut album, and are planning a full release in the next few months!

I'm really excited to share this journey with you - we are proud of our new work and, in due time, I hope you'll give it a listen.

Cheers!

Please don't think that you can stop a Nazi by pointing out hypocrisy or by pointing out that they are lying.

They know. It is a feature, not a bug.

When a fascist lies to you, they are displaying power. "I know I am lying. You know I am lying. What the fuck are you going to do about it."

When a fascist lies to other fascists, they are displaying loyalty. "I know I am lying. You know I am lying. We do this because it is how we show allegiance to the cause."

In this way, fascism is inherently an empty ideology. It stands for nothing. It believes in nothing. It can therefore lie about everything.

Except one thing: power.

Fascism MUST lie. It MUST deceive. It MUST play to baser beliefs like racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia and xenophobia, because it has literally nothing of value to offer.

They know this. We know this. That is why they lie.

I’ve Moved pleroma back onto the VPS to see how it handles. I might move lemmy and/or piefed too, it mainly depends on if running them interferes with streaming services.

Man, it pisses people off when I say that marches and protest don’t have any practical effect when the government doesn’t care about the will of the people.

Listen: if rallies make you feel better and connected to other people, great. Really. That’s a good thing. But as Malcolm X once pointed out, nonviolence only works when your oppressor has a conscience… or is worried about being reelected.

Does anyone think Trump gets worried seeing people rallying against him? Do you think he thinks he’s in any jeopardy at the midterms? No. Whether or not he actually is is not the point; the point is that, delusional or not, he doesn’t worry about 3% of the US population coming out to march against him because he either believes the other 97% are on his side or he thinks he’s got a way to either rig or suspend the midterms. Y’all get that, right? That the idea that he’ll try to simply not allow midterm elections is not a crazy fringe idea but entirely plausible, if not likely? I mean, if you don’t think he’ll do it just because he’s openly talked about it, you’re a dummy. He talked about trying to get Greenland and invade Venezuela and a lot of you didn’t think he was serious… until he did it.

If protests get too big or too visible or disruptive - much less turn violent - he’ll just declare martial law and suspend elections that way, plus start mowing motherfuckers down in the street, and nobody will stop him. I can’t believe anybody is still naive enough to think the Democrats will do anything but issue more strongly worded statements if he does, but what can they do? He is the commander in chief of the military and since he’s already legally immune for anything he does as president, no order he gives is illegal even if it violates the Constitution. I mean, if that logic occurs to me it’s almost certainly what he’ll claim.

What I want is for those of you who are desperately clinging to the idea that the vox populi is still the most powerful force in America to please stop deluding yourselves, because it’s dangerous. I don’t mean metaphorically dangerous, I mean physically dangerous. This is not 1968, this is not Vietnam, and all the old glories are gone. This is: you’re gonna go out there in pink pussy hats and whichever faction of the American armed forces he sends are gonna use those brightly colored symbols as targets. I’m not exaggerating, I’m not being hyperbolic, I’m telling you the exact truth. You are not going to defeat fascism by marching. All you’re going to do is, quite frankly, pat each other on the back so hard you’re going to get a false sense of the power of collective voices against state which has deafened itself to your voices. And it’s gonna look like every generation or so of Iranian or Chinese students who think this time is gonna be different… and end up smeared on the stones of some public square or another.

There are and have been times when protest and nonviolent resistance were very good and effective ways of making the will of the people happen. This is just not one of those moments. I mean, I’d be glad to be wrong but absolutely nothing suggests I am.

It may not look it but “BRAZILIAN DRUG DEALER 3: I OPENED A PORTAL TO HELL IN THE FAVELA TRYING TO REVIVE MIT AIA I NEED TO CLOSE IT” is a pretty solid quake mod, like damn.
