“National Conservatism” on the wall, without a hint of irony.

I wonder if in a decade or so, if NaCo (nacho?) will replace Nazi in the lexicon.

One hole, because of Danger Diabolik

I know it’s a gag post, but I always like to see a reference to After Man or Man After Man.

What the age of consent in every legal jurisdiction.

NT 3.5 was the last good version. Fight me.

You’re absolutely right about this. 7 is basically a Vista service pack that got rebranded.

All of the “good stuff” people credit 7 with came in Vista.

8 wasn’t nearly as bad as people think, and there were big improvements to the kernel that make it a definite improvement over 7.

The problem for most people was the Start screen, which if you could get past, left you with what was a really good OS.

Less ads and telemetry than 10, too.

The RNC saw moderates kicked out by voters in primaries, and candidates made sure to run.

Show up and vote.

No less than The Economist uses the BMI (“Big Mac Index”) to compare economies.

The correct response is “If I’m going to jail because abortion is murder, I may as well kill my rapist”

I’m a 47-year old white guy in a leadership position in a large company. I’ve done exactly this to both young-millenial edgelord types who think I’m in on the joke, and boomer or elder-Xers who are yelling at clouds. I will tell you that, not only does it smack down the dipshit who thought that “lol rape” or “brown people bad” was funny, it also sets the tone for everyone else in the room, and it gets word around that bigotry isn’t acceptable.

Anyone can say this, but it hits harder when it’s someone privileged. Women, LGBTQ folk and other vulnerable groups don’t have this privilege, and get shut down, and if we don’t want that to be the case, we need to speak up for them.

Cellebrite isn’t American.

Representives Omar and Tlaib would disprove that point.

Ugh. That episode hits hard this week

As a slow cyclist, I’d totally wear this.

Make Polio Great Again

We used to have progressive income taxes that did this.

Reagan, Thatcher and their ilk pulled them because “trickle down, a rising tide lifts all boats, thousand points of light, blah blah blah”
