  • I’m highly critical of Apple, their philosophy for proprietary hardware with an aggressive stance against right to repair, and some particular design flaws on specific models of their machines that are unacceptable for the price point they sell their products at. Not to mention their ball coddling of the fascist fuck in the white house.

    But MacOS is definitely superior to Windows, game developers not focusing on MacOS be damned. The bloat on Windows is beyond overkill, and MacOS’s Unix based build for ultra specific hardware runs so much more efficiently. I used to play around with a hackintosh back when Mac OS X Lion was around.










  • Partner and I are going through Better Call Saul (BCS) after a run on Braking Bad. She’s seen Breaking Bad once but never BCS, while I’ve watched both many, many times. I love showing somebody a movie or a show for the first time; the closest way of watching something for the first time again is vicariously through someone else.

    As far as reading material, I’ve finally gotten my hands on Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer; it blends in cosmic horror with some sci-fi, and reminds me of a horrific acid trip. The movie is amazing, but I’ve heard the books have lined up some sequels, and I wanted to get ahead. As per usual, book is much better, but also drastically different. Movie and book are each pretty much brand new experiences. High recommend either.


  • I’d be in agreement with you before the 2024 election when I still some semblance of a belief in bipartisan left. But now, not so much; I learned that Republicans / MAGA are in a fascist death cult, and are in fact demons that we share the country with.

    But common, we’re not demons. There’d are red state refugees that’d make great blue state people whom we can take in.


  • Vermont at least has a cool progressive city that elected Bernie Sanders for mayer 3 times before becoming a senator, and Graham Platner is a progressive, rockstar senate candidate in Maine, so there’s some redeemability there IMO. The real zit to pop in the northeast would be New Fucking Hampshire.

    It’d be a pain in the ass to workout a divorce, but I think it’d be a whole lot easier than dealing with the fucking deathtrap we’re heading into. Not to mention some redemption on the global stage for better relationships with our virtually former allies? “See, we are not with those fucking assholes! And we got all the money!”




  • Your leaders are pussies and have been mostly disappointing in the face of fascism; sucking up to Trump up until the more vivid threats to Greenland, and being almost equally as complicit in letting the Palestinian genocide happen that tipped the domino for delegitimizing international law.

    Neoliberalism is what made room for fascism to rise in the US, it’ll be what tanks your continent if you do not put pressure on your leaders, elect populist leaders with an actual vision for the future of Europe, and grind those fucking shit-stain Nazis to a fucking dust.

    I’ve never been more embarrassed to be an American, but those of us that knew that Trump was a fucking fascist are the ones organizing against his paramilitary with relentless protests, organizing two general strikes, and winning special elections against the right just this month. The public is getting radicalized and are arming themselves.

    And to remind you guys that money isn’t everything in an election, there was a special election last year that Musk dumped billions of dollars into, to prop up one of their MAGA hacks because they wanted that district strategically, and they fucking lost. Leftwing Zohoran Mamdani in NYC was also facing against billionaires, but won with a populist campaign and is the most popular politician in the country.

    Anyway, US hegemony is over, and you guys have to make it for the better. I grieve our relationship with Europe, but you guys are on your own now and the rest is up to you. Protest your leaders if they suck Trump’s cock, elect leaders that are willing to dump US bonds and get rid of the US dollar as the world reserve currency. Get yourself and your people involved in your elections for people that will fight for you. I pray for a better future for the world, even if it means this country will get what it rightfully deserves.





  • These protesters are victims of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. They’re protesting for higher standards of civil liberties while two rouge, fascist nations utilize them as a means to instill regime change for their own interests. Complete disregard for human life, while the ayatollah see them as an accessory to US and Israeli aggression and clamped down on the protesters with more lethality.

    And on top of that, Trump’s corrupt foreign political donors in the middle east like the Saudis asked them to back down, and he did. So extra lives were squandered for virtually nothing.
