@lisamelton From your recent reposts of @dressdeveloper and @thegiddystitcher I get the feeling you might enjoy my sister-in-law’s stuff at weaversew.com

It’s not that a bunch of staunch Republicans saw a man get murdered by ICE and said “My god, that is the line!”. They were fine with every other instance. It is that a pile of Republicans have been looking for a way to get away from the Trump party, and this finally gave them social cover to back out. Glad they are doing it. Still don’t trust ‘em.

@Verso you’ve probably already seen this, but if not, GO! https://mastodonapp.uk/@taoish/115629422677633312

@jeffreykuiken I would be willing to pay two or three or maybe even more X for a Safari extension that forces dark mode pages to light mode. It _seems_ that that would be a fairly simple change to Noir, but I’ve never written a Safari extension, so what do I know?

I'm going to put this in the replies on this thread about the UHC CEO shooting.

Spoken from the stage tonight at a celebratory gathering of the NYC Republican Club by congressman-elect Brandon Gill of Texas:

“I think we need a lot more Daniel Penny’s in this country,” one speaker says. “Because we have too many Jordan Neelys.” Lots of applause and cheering.

@siracusa What’s your guess? https://appdot.net/@jgordon/112011095231198512

@ilumium @mekkaokereke I'm pretty sure the cops steal more through Civil Forfeiture than the total value of goods taken via burglary. You could disband police in the USA, and the population would probably be better off in terms of total losses to theft.

Why is Apple’s operating income in Japan (49+%) so much higher than elsewhere (low 40s)?

@chad

When will the tourism industry tire of its financial losses caused by the oil industry?

Do folks tire of being cooped up in their homes, if they have one still standing, because of:
1. Another pandemic prolonged by billionaires funding covid disinformation
2. Wildfires, extreme heat, & air pollution caused by oil lobbyists
4. Deranged gun nuts on a shooting spree caused by GOP gun lobbyists

Billionaires fund climate denial, election denial, covid disinformation, & gun violence denial

President Carter, now in his last days, home to be with his family as he passes, once personally saved Ottawa from a Nuclear Disaster, at risk, and cost, to his life, suffering from radiation poisoning all his life.

Canada had a Nuclear Accident in the 50s, asked the US for help, Lieutenant Jimmy Carter lead a team out of NY.

The future President Carter, had his team lower him into the reactor.

I had no idea

I have no idea why this isn't widely known.

I'm beginning to get a little worried.

When time travelers from the future ask me what year it is, and I tell them, they no longer say "Whew, there's still time!" Instead, they look worried and step back thru their portal.

Perhaps I should move up my retirement plans?

Look, if you don't get what's happening, I can explain it very simply:

The Republican Party exists to tax you and give your tax money to billionaires.

That's it. All the rest, all the bigotry and religion and child kidnapping and foreign wars, exists to distract you so that they can continue to steal.

I could write a million words worth of analysis and not get significantly closer to the truth.

@paulrickards A friend of mine (who unfortunately died a few years ago) used a drum plotter with an exacto[sic] blade replacing the pen, cutting images out of vinyl sheets (sprocket fed). Used mainly for signs, occasional portraits (took tweaking digital photos to black and white, and making them connected) . Have you ever tried anything like that?
