It could actually be a good thing, since it opens up the possibility of unsnoopable channels of communication, using encryption that would be disrupted by any attempt to intercept it.

Canadian mining companies are some of the most ruthless, oppressive and damaging organizations in the world. It’s not surprising that they’re entirely willing to work with the fascists.

Still, it’s significant that only 32% of Republicans support Trump’s genocidal policy.

Or an innocent person may end up kidnapped and imprisoned for life in El Salvador because they have a tattoo.

Case 1:

Trump sends innocent man to El Salvador for having autism awareness tattoo

Case 2:

He has a tattoo celebrating Real Madrid. His lawyer believes it’s why he was deported

Hegseth has white supremacist tattoos. Those are approved of.

Be a shame if it got completely clogged up with spam so no oil companies could get their pollution exemptions. Or if everyone wasted their time with trivial questions.

Give it time.

Yes, as a Brit I’m a bit of a beer snob. Some of the best beers I have ever tasted have been from independent breweries in the USA and Canada. It’s really very different from how it was a few decades ago, when good beer was hard to find in these countries. Now it seems to be everywhere.

Protests don’t hinder such organization though, and they can connect and embolden people. They’re valuable as long as they’re not all that gets done.

The USA and Canada have a ton of good beer from small breweries, but the stuff that gets exported does taste like piss. It’s like judging British beer on the basis of Carling Black Label.

Signal is pretty good. It takes a special kind of stupid to use Signal and still end up accidentally leaking everything.

Good stuff. Small acts of resistance like this add up.

Trump’s “small loan of a million dollars” turned out to have been a gift of $413 million that his father acquired through legally dubious means.

The USA has become one of those countries where critics of the government are disappeared. And it only took a couple of months to get there. So much for the American commitment to free speech.

Don’t go to the USA.

Cruelty and death to poor people and more pandemics for everyone! The American way.

In Windows, Foobar2000 does easy audio file conversions, once you have installed the relevant codecs.

The old Republican projection at work again.

I hope you’re right, but I’m not convinced we can draw conclusions yet. Starmer’s government is not popular and while Farage has been a joke at home among many, he never drops out of the picture because he has a lot of international far-right support and consequently a lot of money. Brexit was obviously stupid and happened; giving Farage power would be similarly stupid and I’m not sure it couldn’t still happen. In Germany the AfD is still too strong, though not quite as strong as it had hoped. In Canada I hope people have finally seen through Poilievre, but again Canada underestimates the Trumpist/convoy/PP people at its peril, and while Carney is sending a lot of good messages the kind of liiberalism he represents has not traditionally done well in holding off the fascists.

In the USA, sitting peacefully while calling for an end to killing Palestinians is terrorism, but attacking these peaceful protestors violently for several hours because you want Palestinians killed and their sympathizers intimidated into silence is not.

Even better, the whole HP printer is optional.
