These hackers have fantastic values, and the effort they put into this made the world a slightly better place. Good on em.

I'm sorry you have to work for him, and I'm doubly sorry for any women who have to work with him. He's not genuinely kind. It doesn't take an academic to see half the human population as humans deserving of the same rights as the other half.

I agree about how upsetting it's been though. My neigbour and I used to share bbq over the fence and shoot the shit about his life. Now he's got crazy eyes and legit thinks and says that my wife and I are evil witches (and whatever qanonsense his feed fed him yesterday). I miss the peace I had in my own backyard pre-2016, but here we are.

btw, a lot of effort goes into the misogynist fascist takeover of our public spaces (including online). None of this just happened because (for example, one genesis myth is) low income white boys were bored on the internet. They've been groomed for hate and it's all deliberate.

Fingers crossed it's up and running again soon!

Hopefully this is one of those outages where you feel all cozy, light some candles, your blood pressure goes way down and you're sharing what's in your freezer with the neighbours, and not a freezing cold with mobility issues on the 21st floor kind of outage. Stay safe.

On the off chance someone reading is feeling mildly irked by the bombastic language used to describe this fucked up weather, ysk 'bomb cyclone' is a technical term in use since the 50s and has a formal definition. TIL (and you can too!)

Or just scroll down OPs page to the Bomb Cyclone 101 link.

BC had gusts at almost 160 km/h from this beast yesterday and about 150K people lost power. At the last update I read, about 90K people were still in the dark.

It IS simple and awesome, and it can be cheap af. Got mine from a dollarstore 2 decades ago and I still love it more than any other coffee prep.

99% sure it's the verb for putting clothes pegs on the washing line.

jfc I'd forgotten that moment. Let us never forget the Bowling Green Massacre.

Burning the witches is WAY more important than who tells them they're allowed to burn the witches.

When they lose their "imperfect messenger from God" they'll just follow who their pastors tell them to follow. Maybe they'll change the name to the Trump Party and any nazi Christian soldier can lead it. Bible-banger Vance is lined up as the successor atm, but who knows? Could be Desantis. Could be Bannon. Anyone tapped who's willing to act out that vindictive certainty, solidarity and ferocity that Trump performs so well can do the job for them.

Maybe one of his kids. If the fundie leaders want to be truly perverse (and we know they do), they'll choose Ivanka and call it feminism.

That's a nice thought on a spectacularly shit day. I hope Alt me is still BBQing with my neighbours like it's 2016.

"Sure we're all fucked, but at least by not voting I defended the white man's natural right to rule! We were never gonna vote for an uppity black woman who's better than the alternative by every conceivable measure, and the Democratic party failed us for not acknowledging that. If we ever get elections again, maybe they'll have learned their lesson!" - non-voting racist sexist "democrats" in the USA
