Once again the New York Times picks the path of evil. My suspicion is that they are blocking the Internet Archive so future generations don't see how pro Trump, pro Israel, pro Epstein they are.

Utterly true. My mom's heating oil went from 3.27 per gallon to 5.27 per gallon. That's a 61% increase.

Great overview of the free speech issues in the Afroman case

💯 worth watching in full.

And, once again in America, the best current events journalists are the "comedians".

There is no alternative. It will happen in your and mine lifetime (I think we're roughly the same age) but it won't happen in the short term. Think between 1 and 2 decades with things getting steadily worse from now until then.

RE: @codinghorror@infosec.exchange

One of the best things about spending a year doing street level activism was resetting my beliefs about the "system" and what people need and how close to the edge everyone is.

I can attest to what Jeff is saying -- people don't have any savings, they have no buffer. And it is isn't their fault. They aren't spending frivolously. The reason there hasn't been a minimum wage hike in decades is that money goes to the 1%.

The transfer of wealth to the top in America is utterly criminal.

RE: @mattsheffield@mastodon.social

It is amazing to me how Marc Andressen ignores the FACT that his very existence as a tech kingpin came from GOVERNMENT SPENDING.

Marc got his start in tech working at NCSA (National Center for Supercomputing Applications) where Mosaic was created.

If not for government spending, no Mosaic then no Netscape and NO MARC ANDRESSEN.

And now this chud takes a pro trump, nuke federal spending perspective.

Of course he has no interiority -- or he has to face the fact that he isn't an Ayn Rand hero.

Am I the only person noticing that the quality of things sold at Costco isn't what it used to be? I've had 3 purchases over the past six months (wildly different things) that all failed me.

@digitalraven That's a 330% increase. That's way, way, way beyond anything I've seen which makes me wonder if this particular vendor is price gouging. Out of curiosity, have you shopped around at all?

RE: https://wandering.shop/@cstross/116102225445257589 This -- the massive intellectual randomness -- is why I love science fiction. SF writers and the SF community are ALWAYS about a decade ahead of the world at large. The things I'm seeing today in mutual aid and cooperative, I first saw in fan run science fiction cons about a decade ago.

#WritersCoffeeClub 20. Feb: How has a setting suprised you? I write SF/F: a genre-smear in which the setting is as much a major protagonist as any of the characters. And if a main character doesn't surprise you regularly, then you don't know them. (Random example: I had no idea going in that my current WIP, a space opera, would feature aristocrats obsessed with dragon racing—genetically engineered pterosaur derivatives—and that I'd end up exploring the world of dragon doping crime syndicates!)

The sunsetting of heroku makes a lot of us old timers sad because we know how seminal heroku was. Railway has a great analysis:
