All it’s going to do is generate sympathy for Elmo.

I don't believe so... Most people are laughing at this story.

But, on that note: What are you doing? Propaganda of the deed has a long, and storied tradition amongst the left.

Only if the parents are brown.

If white, "it was gawds will".

Why would a geologist spin up a Mastodon server, period? Or any other kind of social media server?

I mean, to be fair, I wouldn't mind fucking the mailman for some qualudes either.

It benefits you, because with almost half the population removed from the paid labor pool, you are more likely to earn more, and get jobs you likely would not have gotten before.

A ton already are!

Most viruses, we don't even notice them... the really virulent ones cause few, if any symptoms.

We just generally don't worry about them, is all.

So, Donold isn't rogue, then either, because he is just doing what corporations want, as well?

He wasn't?

So, Mr. "Nothing fundamentally will change" Biden was going to fundamentally change things?

Or was that just a lie?

And were all the arms deals just because he really like genocide, or was is for the benefit of the military industrial complex?

I never understood why uniformed officers need to always cover their faces, even in broad daylight...

Besides the obviously racist and misogynistic ones, a lot of those that voted for Trump were just ignorant about what he was going to do.

He literally said, many times, what he planned to do. There was an entire document called "Project 2025" that wrote it all out.

No, we mean solving the problem like we did in 1865... Maybe this time, we'll let the modern day Sherman finish the job.

lol, ok so is President Musk or Melania's husband calling the shots? Seems like President Musk.

Rumors (Yes, just rumors, I know) have it that MS is working on a shim to be able to just use the Linux kernel under the hood. That's what spawned WSL. It is a side effect of the work to get the shim between the Win64 userland and Linux kernel. The shim will probably be a temporary thing, until all the ABIs are done.

If nobody tells them to do anything then they will sit and wait to help the winner.

Probably, yes. Because, by its nature, the US Military is not going to involve itself in politics. Trust me, you REALLY do not want the military to be a political entity.

I mean, could you imagine some Generals deciding to set domestic policy for a county, just because they disagree with the County exec somewhere?

Otherwise, they will react to their order, from the person leading the violent insurrection, in some fashion.

Yes. This is accurate. They will either side with the executive, or not. And, at that point, they may side with the opposition. But it's a hard slog to get military leadership to jump onto a side in politics. Like, we're talking "Someone invaded a military installation, and started shooting, and trying to take it over" kind of thing. Or "The president ordered us to round up all civilians in City X"...

Ah yes, the famous prison yards where I can go participate in the slave auctions and literally purchase people as property.

YOU can't, but privateers certainly can. How do you think we lease out humans from prison to private corporations?

Why would they suddenly be “given orders” next time trump decides to violently overthrow the US government?

Being given an order to either aid, to to specifically stand out, or whatever, is a decision point.

but you are actually saying that the US military won’t do anything unless they are ordered to.

Yes, they will react to the order, in some fashion. That's what I'm saying. They likely will not react to nothing.

No, I mean they were not given any orders, is what I'm saying.

Being given an order to do something, they can choose to obey it, or not. Hopefully, they'll go with the moral choice, whatever it is, in the case of the order being given.

I wonder what the Ukrainians, Canadians, et al. would have to say about this…

Learning a lesson they needed to learn much sooner: Its very dangerous to be an ally of the US. Ask the Kurds. Or the Vietnamese.

Sounds like the US is getting to experience the US...

Probably, but the point being made was "Oh no! The genocide is WORSE under Trump", and it's objectively false.

Trump is mostly worse for people in the US, which is what your problem is. You likely don't care until it impacts you, personally. Which is the same problem with MAGAts. Whole leopards and faces thing.
