I'm starting a thread for all-things-Vance-hates-4th-Amendment here.

Here's a fun video to get you started. I'm putting other links in comments below, as I get to them.

What are US forces doing flying over the Caribbean Sea??? It's south of the Gulf of Mexico. There is no way that those boats are on their way to the US at all. They're so dinky, I don't see how they would stand up to things like Hurricane Melissa. Even in calmer weather, I don't see how they would include all the supplies needed for such a long journey to go that far. They're obviously just fishing boats.

If what you VALUE is your safety, your life, your skin?

HIDE. RIGHT FUCKING NOW.

If that's ALL that matters to you? Hide. They will kill the tall poppies first.

But if you're serious about stopping fascism, let's be clear - fascists in control of a police state (actually the most sophisticated and comprehensive police state in human history) don't surrender peacefully.

I didn't MAKE THIS you fucking morons; it's just HOW IT FUCKING IS.

@AnarchoNinaWrites Voting matters more. Just so you know that. Can't vote when you're in prison, in the hospital, or dead. BTW, these protests might be inspiring, but they don't actually make change at all. This isn't the 1960s. Politicians these days don't give a damn. It's just a lot of people wearing themselves out with nothing to show for it at the end of the day.

Now, use the protests to get out the vote and actually organize people while they're at the protests, and then I'll shut up about the futility of jumping around and waving signs so hard that no one can read them anyway.

Meme from Queen Bean @MishQuinnH. The background is white, with black text and a photo below it. The text reads, "Gay people are legal currency now" and the photo below it shows a street-side shop's front door window. In the window is a list of credit cards accepted by the shop. Mixed into the credit cards is a similarly sized and shaped rainbow with horizontal lines in its background, with white capitalized text, that has a little shadow under it, that reads "YOU." There is text below that and the other payment card options that reads, "I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear. Martin Luther King."

I did not have "The US administration switches to communism" on my 2025 bingo card. But Trump is now taking over the means of production.

Trump posting: It is my Great Honor to report that the United States of America now fully owns and controls 10% of INTEL, a Great American Company that has an even more incredible future. I negotiated this Deal with Lip-Bu Tan, the Highly Respected Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The United States paid nothing for these Shares, and the Shares are now valued at approximately $11 Billion Dollars. This is a great Deal for America and, also, a great Deal for INTEL. Building leading edge Semiconductors and Chips, which is what INTEL does, is fundamental to the future of our Nation. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Gold mining has done devastating damage to our environment

Meme that shows grayscale Jim Crew Era photo and white text on a black background. The text is above and below the photo. The top text reads, "It's not reverse racism or anti white to teach kids about history." The photo below that shows two signs separating out white women from black women, and white men from black men. The women's sign is on the left of some kind of water cooler (made of metal, not plastic, and with a sign hanging off of it that reads "colored"), with paper cups in a dispenser to its left. In front of the water cooler is a black man drinking from a paper cup. He's wearing a black hat, white shirt with short sleeves, and dark pants with a white belt. To the right is the men's sign. All of this is up against a wall with an in-turned corner on the right. Below the photo, the text reads, "Sorry it makes your ancestors look bad, but maybe they should've thought about that before being assholes."

    @politicdormouse histodons@a.gup.pe icon histodons group @CarveHerName Women weren't really allowed to have much to do with their own fashion for eons. It was usually men who were allowed to be the designers and tailors. It was a male dominated industry. She might have gotten a little input here and there, because of her station, however, even then, a Queen still had to answer to whoever she was married to most of the time (depending on her marital status and who inherited the throne, etc). Anyway, I really don't believe that such a high neck was a woman's idea. Queen Alexandria might have been used as the icon for trend setting, but I really doubt much that she did all her own designing and sewing.

    I'm pretty sure that the absent-minded professor archetype was based on people like me. Autistic and ADHD as a mofo. Hard things are easy and easy things are hard. I can do difficult math in my head and instantly visualize solutions to really hard technical problems, but I struggle to hold to a routine, focus on what I'm doing, remember what I did yesterday, manage self-care, or hold a conversation without 20 tangents. I regularly forget what I'm saying mid-sentence. Cool ideas and deep insights boil out of me at a ridiculous pace, but I struggle to manage day to day life. My laptop is the digital equivalent of the nutty steam punk inventor's messy lab in the movies, with half-completed projects lying around in disarray, the occasional amazing gadget that later saves the day hidden and forgotten amongst them.

    IQ tests are only about memory and pattern recognition anyway. They don't measure a person's social or communication skills. That, and they're completely unstable. I've had two, and the numbers were both wildly different, and neither actually reflected where I probably am at with these things on an average day anyway. Either I'm a "genius" or a "dunce" according to them. So, yeah. I think I'm probably just somewhere in the middle, like most other people.

If a person is severely intellectually challenged, it's usually not hard to tell. If they're incredibly gifted in some area, it's usually not hard to notice that either. The rest? We're all average with different strengths and weaknesses in varied areas, and that's usually pretty obvious too.

    There's not much purpose to it, other than for people to have some stupid score number to either brag about or hide. I think the whole concept is stupid.

    For the past several months, about 2-5 emails per day have arrived from people bitching about being banned from an illegal movie and network streaming service. I soon learned that all of this service's various domain names include my email address as the point of contact. So when people invariably get banned for spamming the chat box on this unlicensed tv streaming service, they bitch to me and plead to be let back on the service.

    Last month I yelled at their Twitter account, which yelled back that they don't run the site blah blah. Just for background: I dislike spam and spammers so much that I wrote a whole book about them. And at this point I was getting so annoyed by the constant wayward emails that I started researching the accounts and things promoting these PPV networks. For a while there I was like, No Mercy! Fear does not exist in this dojo, does it?!? I was even beginning to form a plan to auto-respond to these annoying messages with a vague promise to reinstate them if they could show proof of a donation to a local shelter or something.

    But then I thought, instead of going nuclear on these guys what if I just asked nicely? Sometimes asking nicely is the best way forward.

    @JessTheUnstill That means fewer fascist for the rest of the freshmen in the US to have to deal with. While having a whole gang imprisoned in the same prison is a bad idea, it at least makes it easier to monitor them. I say, anti-fascist instructors go undercover and apply to instruct there, to monitor them as well as slowly deconstruct them.
