Welcome to the btrfs party. I'm excited for ext4 to finally be put to rest. It's had a good run but it's time for something modern.

When I hear neighbors here in the south singing the praises of @katmabu.bsky.social and @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social I'm never surprised. These people see candidates running for a cause they belive in, with messages that resonate no matter where you are in the nation.

Today the phrase "why vote for GOP-lite when the GOP is right there" rings loud in my ears. I'm never surprised when the Democratic party polls low or underperforms in the south.

No-one was blaming the Democrats for the shutdown, instead they were cheering them on. Tuesday showed what the party fighting for something can do. All of that momentum that could have carried through 2026 just got erased in one Sunday night vote.

I'm saying "They" as in the entire bloc because if this was indeed a defection of 8 despite the indications of more possible yes votes, that represents a catastrophic failure of leadership from the top and complete abdication to change things from the entire structure.

Democrats had the opportunity to force Republicans take the fall for the worst holiday travel season on record.
Instead they voted to get blamed for massive healthcare premium increases just so they didn't get thier flights delayed or cancelled.

I don't know. Maybe they should get $20 a day.

Maybe we should be fully funding these programs and not leaving them up to the whims of politicians?

Maybe we should be working towards a society that doesn't let people starve under any circumstances?

Darn, the elections office out here depriving you of any and all enrichment at the polls this year.

Was your ballot just municipal races with two of the three uncontested as well?

I was reading through reviews on the orange hardware store site for dish washer detergent and found this absolute turd of a review.

The US is absolutely cooked aren't we...

Wonder if Bob is ever going to find a company that makes Maga dishwasher detergent?

#WTF #ConservativeCrashOut

A review for cascade dish detergent that reads

"English is our language
I have always used cascade but seeing your commerical in Spanish has made me know we're your company stands. This is America the USA and we speak english.i will no longer use your product"

And good luck to all the leftist and urbanist candidates running for office this year around the country.

Friendly reminder to anybody who isn't paying attention. Welcome to the off-year election cycle. Polls open today. You should go vote. Off-year elections are just as, if not more important, than presidential and midterm elections.

Hey, nearly a million vacant units could be used to expand the city's rent controlled supply and go a long way to fixing the affordability crisis.

You laugh, but this is how the exododus went extinct

Nearly a million New

Entertaining and consistent. You don't have to hand it to anyone but appreciated when people wear their repugnant ideals on their chest and don't try to hide it.

I don't usually post horror content but here goes.

Also @fedora.fosstodon.org.ap.brid.gy why are the kernel images so large? Is it normal for the rescue initramfs to take up nearly 300MB and the average kernal initramfs image to be well over 100MB?

@cloudflare.social come on, it would be hilarious. What's a few tens of millions of dollars in the face of possibly the best joke in the history of the internet?

Man, the NY post have some really odd white people (or I'm not white enough to understand them) because I have "aunts" and "uncles" who aren't even related by blood to me at all...

White people aren't doing well... Every Black and brown person on the PLANET reading this and thinking my mom's childhood friend's second cousin is considered our Aunt... LOSERS...

My Post headline

Mamdani didn’t tell the whole truth about his hijab-wearing ‘aunt’ who feared for safety post-9/11

The “aunt” who Zohran Mamdani said was too afraid to wear her hijab on the subways after 9/11 was actually his dad’s cousin.

ItsJustZip @itsjustzip.com · 15d

Once again the headline "Zohran is already getting criminals out of NYC" would be applicable.

Turns out most voters just want you to talk with them, to listen to thier concerns, and not belittle them. The Democratic party regularly fails at this.

Barred and Boujee aka Madiba Dennie @audrelawdamercy.bsky.social · 19d

I love that this is literally just

we realized we weren't connecting with Black people so we tried talking to more Black people and Black people like us much better now

"Black organizers had noticed gaps in the campaign’s strategy for reaching Black voters. To address them, they led canvasses in working-class Black neighborhoods...By early October, Mamdani had taken a commanding lead over Cuomo among Black voters"

Well, you all certainly had more excitement from Maga than we did up here, but it also looks like we had a larger crowd so that probably helped.

And just a $50k bond? For menacing people with a deadly weapon? That's not a lot.

If you're taking to the streets to protest today, know your rights.

"KNOW YOUR PROTEST RIGHTS
You don’t need a permit to protest in response to breaking news and you don’t need a permit to march in the streets or along sidewalks, as long as you’re not obstructing traffic or access to buildings.
When you are lawfully present in any public space, you have the right to photograph anything in plain view, including federal buildings and the police.
If you believe your rights have been violated, when you can, write down everything you remember, get contact information for witnesses, and take photographs of any injuries.
If you get stopped by the police, ask if you’re free to go. If they say yes, calmly walk away.
If you get arrested, you have a right to ask why. Otherwise, say you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. Don’t sign, say or agree to anything without a lawyer present.
If you get stopped by a member of the military or any law enforcement office at a protest, you have the right to remain silent or to tell them that you’ll only answer questions in the presence of an attorney — no matter your citizenship or immigration status."
