So, I figure there are a few possible takes here...

  1. They didn't really care about diversity before
  2. They don't care about being anti-woke
  3. They've only ever cared about making money and they've made these changes to appease who they perceived to be the majority
  4. They are afraid of trump

I say it's a combination of all of them.

I don't have much confidence he'll get that far, but you're right.

Can you offer more details about the things you mentioned?

I mean, of course they are! He's doing everything he can to find money for even bigger tax breaks for them on top of the $4tn tax cuts that will expire in December.

Apparently it'll cost 2.5x as much this go around.

This is the reason for all the crazy bullshit he's doing. He has no plan beyond "turn it all off" and he's scrambling to find money for more tax cuts. He's made a promise.

On the flip side, Sundar Pichai sees where this is all headed and probably doesn't want to be deported, or worse.

Windmills? Where? Must. Start. Tilting. At. Windmills.

I'm not happy being correct. All the FAFO, and leapords eating faces was funny for a few days, but decreasingly so after the inauguration.

This is just a slow motion train wreck.

 

An option to take action.

Let me know where to post this if not here, thanks in advance.

Please share this. The action begins.

 

I don't really have words for this...

I feel like this is probably pretty effective. I feel like it should be a thing.

This transphobic, anti-gender theory, anti-abortion doctrine of theirs has me completely done with them.

I'm not a rageaholic, but you wouldn't know it when I heard this story come on my news feed. Profanities that came out of me were full-throated, long-winded, and unbecoming.

I was raised Catholic and for a long time since they decided to bless same-sex marriages I was okay with the Catholic Church but what do you know? Just like that. Now I'm anti-Catholic.

They're basically saying that everyone is made perfect in God's image and that by changing your sex your violating that perfection and somehow violating your own dignity? Like, they're trying to say that changing your gender is separating yourself from your soul somehow? I'm done with these people.

Here is a link to the actual document that they produced. Would you believe it took him 5 years to come up with this garbage?

Forgive me if this is the wrong place to post this.

 

So it looks like Trump has read the fascist playbook or something. I'm not surprised. I am concerned.

Edit: After thinking about it, I guess I am surprised that he can read.

 

Title says it all. Somewhat interesting if true. I wouldn't be surprised either way.

China accused the US of infiltrating Huawei Technologies Co. servers beginning in 2009, part of a broad-based effort to steal data that culminated in tens of thousands of cyber-attacks against Chinese targets last year.

The Tailored Access Operations unit of the National Security Agency carried out the attacks in 2009, which then continuously monitored the servers, China’s Ministry of State Security said in a post on its official WeChat account on Wednesday. It didn’t provide details of attacks since 2009.

Cyberattacks are a point of tension between Washington and Beijing, which has accused its political rival of orchestrating attacks against Chinese targets ever since Edward Snowden made explosive allegations about US spying. Washington and cybersecurity researchers have said the Asian country has sponsored attacks against the West.

The ministry’s accusations emerged as the two countries battle for technological supremacy. Huawei in particular has spurred alarm in Washington since the telecom leader unveiled a smartphone powered by an advanced chip it designed, which was made by Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp. That’s in spite of years-long US sanctions intended to cut Huawei off from the American technology it needs to design sophisticated chips and phones.

The US has been “over-stretching” the concept of national security with its clampdown on Chinese enterprises, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning told reporters at a regular press briefing in Beijing on Wednesday.

“What we want to tell the US is that suppression and containing of China will not stop China’s development. It will only make us more resolved in our development,” Mao said.

On Tuesday, US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said she was “upset” when Huawei released the Mate 60 Pro during her visit to China last month, but noted the US has no evidence the Asian nation can make the advanced semiconductors powering the handset “at scale.”

What's the deal with all these archive.is links? All they do is send me to infinite capcha loops. I don't get it.

 

I've had this feeling that since there are forces that do not want us to have free speech, and that the destruction of Reddit and Twitter does this effectively, creating a chilling effect, destroying social links and communities. Might it not be an intentional effort to stifle the ability of the downtrodden to organize and fight the power?

There are so many other ways things are engineered to benefit the minority and prevent the majority from gaining power, why not this too?

Just a thought rattling around in my head.
