I am gonna go out on a limb and say that a Jersey dude so horrified that he went to his first protest and is trying not to cry on camera has a pretty good chance of staying radicalized. And that while Bluesky loves to pick apart things like this, this kinda video moves the needle for OTHER dudes.
Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

Mitfreude: the joy of sharing a friend’s joy

Vorfreude: the joy of looking forward to future joy
I fiercely believe that shared joy is the best joy.

We all need each other, maybe more than ever.

There isn't a person I know who didn't have a rough 2025 or even a rough few years.

Share joy every chance you get. Send a cute selfie! Share a lovely sunset. Remind people you are thinking of them.

Funding Open Source for Digital Sovereignty
Open Source alone won't deliver digital sovereignty. Europe must fix procurement and fund those who actually build it.

May his retirement be very, very long and may he never sleep more than an hour of it. May he wake up sweating to find his only company is the silence of vengeful ghosts.

Also may a Minnesota tick give him a red meat allergy, because he seems like the type who would absolutely melt down.

I dunno, dude, it seems to entirely solve the problem of having bovino around. Bitch is a first town boss in a jrpg. He's not the end, but beating him allows you to progress and feel good about it.

The only choices will be revolution or capitulation, and the very people who defended the erosion of these protections in the name of national interest will be the ones who most loudly complain that people have no choice but to defend themselves and their neighbors extra-legally.
