I’m afraid we’re about to declare war on Venezuela. Then 47 can use the Alien Enemies Act at will & get a lot more wartime/emergency power. Renaming DoD to DoW, bombing boats off Venezuela, now this meeting, it’s all adding up. Never thought I would live under martial law www.cnn.com/2025/09/25/p...

2028 isn’t the next battle to focus on, 2026 is. As Kasparov says here, if we lose in 2026, we may have no hope in 2028 as they will have changed the system to eliminate free and fair elections.

Hey websites: If I’m smart enough to know how to copy and paste from the “email” to the “confirm email” fields, I’m smart enough to know that what I’m copying and pasting is correct. Disabling pasting in the “confirm email” field just pisses me off.

Back in the early 90s businesses were convinced you wouldn‘t need programmers any more because business users could just drag and drop code modules and have a working app. I don’t think AI is going to replace the need for smart tech people like a lot of businesses think/hope.

It's happening. Get up and get out Protesting before you have to explain how you stayed home and did nothing.
They swore it couldn’t happen here.
Now we’re living the prequel to The Handmaid’s Tale.

Terrifying. Wake up before it’s too late.

@pimoroni.com I have the Badger 2040 and love it but was wondering, if I’m just using a static badge with no animations or anything fancy, do I need to have the battery pack attached to the back and plugged in?

I think I might start adding “before December 2022” to any search that isn’t time related, to try to filter out all the AI slop I’m seeing in search results now

It was never about citizens vs. non-citizens. It was always about whites vs. non-whites, re-asserting white power and reducing the number of non-whites.

I realize stickers are a fairly passive action of resistance, but, I want to continue to encourage others in their anti-ICE fight. This is one avenue at my disposal.

With that in mind, here are brand new stickers (the Icee ones were printed by me but not created by me). Who wants some?
