I see Elon brought his body armor.

So, one guy out of two hundred reps and you blame Democrats. But 200 hundred out of 200 hundred aren’t accountable whatsoever?

Bad faith batman right here.

And they’d definitely hurt even more people than are already being harmed. Republicans can play brinkmanship games because they don’t care about people at all. Democrats can’t do the same without becoming Republicans in the process.

It was mostly uneventful, to be honest. I downloaded the two apps (static admin and the php app), tossed them into /opt/www, and set up nginx to serve PHP. The config in the main app had a section for my Postgres settings and the docs gave the instructions on putting the default server configuration into the static site.

The only challenge was actually rather silly: I don’t use PHP so it took me a bit to understand why apt install php installed Apache when I had already installed nginx. Once I found php-fpm it was smooth sailing from there.

This maybe isn’t for everyone but I de-dockerified Shlink pretty quickly. Moving it to two nginx vhosts (server and admin) on a Shlink LXC and a centralized Postgres server made dealing with it a lot easier.

E.g., the initial API key shenanigans were less fiddly after I took more direct control.

That was the “joke” from the first time around. The French version uses brioche which is just even more fancy bread.

Maybe a parallel would be “the peasants have no eggs!” -> “let them eat omelettes!”

Yep. But there’s also a cross section of ages spewing propaganda. I mean, RFK Jr is ancient. He should remember the time of bloodletting yet here we are.

And the misinformation campaign is oppressive. When my first born was at his 6 month (?) pediatrician appointment, the doctor started in on, “I’m required to inform you that vaccination is a personal and religious choice …” I cut him off and said, “I believe in science” and I could see the immediate relief on his face. I don’t know what he didn’t have to say, but it surely wasn’t good.

She’s older than the antivax craze, sadly. So her parents likely screwed us all over by being responsible.

Have you instructed your servant to search more thoroughly?

I believe the traditional response to “the peasants have no eggs” would be, “let them eat cake!”

Gym wouldn’t recognize free speech even if it raped his high school students.

I think the culture thing is actually also tenuous.

IMHO, what we have is a society that doesn’t actually respect or care for children in any meaningful way. We blame them for being children, fill their heads with increasingly toxic religious nonsense, and now we’re teaching them that lies and hate speech are totally acceptable.

So what if they see a Rambo movie? If anything it probably gave them a 90 minute respite from feeling worthless and abandoned.

Having read the transcript, no, he does not. There’s absolutely no reason beyond “both sides” bullshit to connect the two. Unlike Kirk, he didn’t go on hateful tirades about groomers, drag shows, or pedophiles.

Having been disappointed by Newsom several times, what he did say in the podcast continues his disappointing trend and gives unacceptable levels of support to crazy conservative garbage thinking.

You can think Newsom said something terrible without taking the opportunity to make Kirk seem like he isn’t a hateful extremist.

Yes, we know. We even know the names of the spies: Gabbard, Musk, Trump, etc.

The author of the article is from deep thinking publications such as Common Dreams and Zero Hedge. Read his garbage with caution.

What part of Warren staffer suggests a pullback from the left?

That “cut” is based on the false premise established from the outset. Your timeline shows a person moving farther and farther away from centrism over time, yet, Politico is acting like they just elected James Carville.

What little money USAID was allocated is going to be stolen or flushed down the crypto drain.

Stop watching conservative propaganda.

USAID is a combination soft power program, humanitarian program, and US economic program (yes, money spent at home). You can always find a way to spin nonsense from program abstracts but that doesn’t make that nonsense relevant to the discussion.

I agree with that… sort of. They also need to do loud centrist events. Because rags like Politico will 100% run articles saying, “Democrats double down on leftist policies that cost them the 2024 election” without a moment of hesitation.

We know that the far right media gets its talking points from Russia. After watching their disingenuous takes and “anonymous insider” bullshit (e.g., Biden only running for one term was a Politico rumor) I’m convinced Politico is also intentionally sending misleading information into the public conversation.

Politico’s Lisa Kashinsky noted that Lau’s appointment was a sign that the party is “taking a stay-the-course approach to staffing despite the party’s losses in November.…

Politico is not an honest participant in any political conversation anymore. Lamenting that a Warren staffer from 2020 is a long-time insider only serves to rile up people who are already predisposed to “corporate Democrats” bullshit.
