I’m pretty sure illegally withholding state funding is also a serious crime.

I just want to see him forced to work a minimum-wage job for a living.

Seems like the kind of situation that sandblasters were invented for. They’ve even got ones that use dry ice as their abrasive so they won’t leave any grit behind in those holes.

Frankly, I’d rather be fired than to bother with a mandate to use a useless tool just to justify the money that was spent on it.

I’m glad they let me go when they did, I get to be on unemployment while the bubble is popping. =D

I got laid off because I didn’t use Copilot after discovering that it wasn’t helpful for any of my job duties.

Real Kel-Tec fans only buy gen 3 or higher. XD They’ve usually got all the bugs worked out by then, while the remaining inherent flaws are part of their charm.

That’s the smart move, especially if they have somewhere that they can lie low 'til the dust settles and the heat wears off.

America won’t course-correct until it is forced to do so.

The political establishment is so totally insulated in a media bubble that there’s no way to reach them, internal pressures can be safely ignored. Only external pressure can change this country now.

Same as it ever was

Kirk’s shooter had some shell casings with what was originally a furry meme etched onto them, but that phrase had been co-opted by groypers and transvestigators and is more likely to be evidence that the shooter did it for the lulz than that they were furry.

The furry community is very tight-knit, if it was one of us then we’d have figured out who the shooter was before the cops did. The only connection here is that Republicans have been trying to make the existence of furries into another front in their culture war.

Same as it ever was.

As a (mostly) masc-presenting transfem enby, I’m anxious to reach that point for myself. I feel like I’m in a weird sort of limbo, 'cuz even after two years of hormone therapy I rarely draw any second glances when hiking topless on public trails.

That would have been my bet.

I’m afraid I don’t see the connection between the assertion that progressivism requires conformity of thought and speech and the fall of the soviet union / the establishment of the neoliberal order.

It seems to me that, under that regime, there was actually very little pressure for progressives to conform to a single ideal, which resulted in the protests you’ve mentioned being peopled by groups that spanned the ideological gamut from liberal progressives to left-anarchists to literal communists.

And I don’t think that has changed now that neoliberalism is collapsing, the recent protests are still peopled by communists, anarchists, worker’s unions, independents, democrats and even the occasional disaffected republican. The umbrella that covers the term “Progressive” is only unified in their support for basic human rights and their desire for a more just and equitable society. There’s plenty of disagreement within that coalition and no mechanism to enforce conformity to any one way of being progressive.

Where, precisely, are you seeing the conformity you claim exists?

Since when?

If a court didn’t order it then it isn’t a deportation.

Because the real assassin didn’t want the attention, and real heroes tend to have mysteriously short lifespans.

Letting a fall guy enjoy the fame and either prison time or exoneration gives our real hero a lot of headstart on disappearing and becoming someone else.

Or they could do the smart thing and ration the industrial supply, but that would offend the money.
