It feels so pedantic at this point but these shit gibbons look like they bought vests and plate carriers on Amazon and now get to RP as cops. And for some reason this is allowed? This makes the federal government look like a bunch of kids just attacking people indiscriminately.

Wait it's not supposed to be two people with 1 apple each and me with 4?

Looks like it is not a lie. I went and checked for other sources because of your Wikipedia link.

Here is reporting on the announcement of this plan: https://www.wsj.com/tech/army-reserve-tech-executives-meta-palantir-796f5360

Fun fact, Alex said in an interview that this is a picture of him having a panic attack. Just shaking and desperately trying to keep calm as adrenaline pours through his system.

Then by your reckoning, they're doing pretty well. Colorado has a population of 6 million.

It needs to be in the streets but it's hard to be the first to do it. And where I love I'm not even sure who, what, or where to protest.

Or when your kids are dying from school shooters...

Every ad adjacent to Nazi content needs to be shared far and wide. We need it to look like:

    
Deport all immigrants! Brought to you by Disney!


  

The backlash needs to be loud.

These fucking morons don't understand a thing about soft power. They're so ridiculously eager to remove the US from a place of global leadership. The next decade is going to be wild beyond anything any of us millennials have ever lived through.

Damn! That's pretty cool. Mine are definitely coins, mixed in with a bunch of coins from other countries I've been to...I just need to find the yogurt container they all live in.

I'm pretty sure I have some Kuna around somewhere

Nah the take is:

Often times in media the only queer representation is a villain.

It's actually difficult to find characters that are gender non-conforming and good or at least neutral in any media before like 2006. Only having queer people show up as villains subtly hints at your brain that something is wrong with queer people, that you should be wary, that they are bad. This is held out in scientific studies and also applies to bipoc representation in media too.

I'm all for queer and bipoc villains but we also deserve to be heroes.

Currently looking at Australia or NZ.

NZ seems like a pretty good bet although I'd love to know what I'm getting into if anyone has more thoughts. And I've been to Australia. I know what I'm getting into there but god I like Brizzy. The most racist people I've ever met have been in Australia.

Ireland has been of interest, my stepsister lives there and is trans.

And France, Spain, Portugal all come to mind also.

I think most important part of this is being open and informed on a new set of challenges. Everywhere has their own problems and I need to know about them but frankly we have the luxury of picking. Some of my friends do not and will not. We are all scared of what the future brings.

Thanks for the quick reply! I've wondered about Canadian citizenship through family ties before, but my mom would have to assert her citizenship first and that'd never happen!

Also thanks for your well wishes. It's a pretty trying time. We're good, my partner and I, for now since we live in a liberal city on the West Coast. But I've read books. How long will that last? Nobody knows right now.

I hope your daughter's friend is okay and stays safe!

I've seen a couple of your posts. Is your daughter trans? I only ask because as a trans person I'm needing to get healthcare wherever I move to and my needs seem tog globally be getting more controversial. Any tips for getting out?

"Shooting death." Can we not say he murdered the homeless man?

Like oh no, the gun shot and this man spontaneously died! Fucking passive voice bullshit.

No idea for the US but a few years ago South Korea dealt with a similar situation. It was revealed that the president had a friend who was acting as an unpaid, unelected advisor making decisions for the president, seeing classified information, and helping set national policy. They had million person protests in the middle of Seoul that culminated in the impeachment of their president and her removal from office. The advisor was also arrested and sentenced to 20 years or something.

Any chance you could link to this or help me find more stuff from Robert? I am always interested in his takes.

As an American I agree with everything you said after your BTW. It's fucking wild that Trump is as awful as he is. It's wise that he seems to be genuine about the Canada stuff. I've lived close to the border for a long time and America's hat stuff is common... But like it's a meme, it's not supposed to be real life. What a fucking lunatic we voted for. I'm sorry, I'm setting up to get out as soon as anti-trans stuff gets rolling.

Honestly I'm sure I'll find it similar but it's the last book, I've just got to try! I've set the series down for a break and a change of pace whole I read the latest Stormlight book, Wind and Truth. It's a good break.
