“Get your car out of the bike lane” gets 'em real mad every time.

So far, I’m not finding it as enjoyable as the other two.

That’s 'cause it’s not.

It’s still good enough to be worth watching, though.

Does he, though?

Think about it.

Death sentence seems quite called for in a country that uses it regularly.

Or even one that doesn’t. If any crime deserves to be a capital offense, it’s shit like this.

See, this shit is why insisting on “GNU/Linux” is actually important. It’s the copyleft and the end user freedom it provides that matters, not the kernel.

Sabotaged Linuxes like Android just don’t cut it and shouldn’t count.

Ultimately lobbying is just (parts of) the population attempting to influence what happens in politics, which is what is supposed to happen in a democracy.

No it fucking isn’t! Lobbying is people getting paid to attempt to influence what happens in politics, which is what makes it corrupt.

Russia can’t beat Ukraine’s military so it attacks its people.

Could it be that marketing is an inherently pro-capitalism line of work and its practitioners are unlikely to be altruistic enough to volunteer, especially for something like Free Software?

And more to the point, your work computer should be provided by your employer. If you’re buying that shit yourself, you’re a chump who’s being taken advantage of.

The oil execs are saying it’s “uninvestable” precisely because they know how incompetent Trump is.

Note that the world’s top 1% is 83 million people, which includes way more than 1% of the population of places like the US and western Europe.

If you’re a “middle class” homeowner in a high cost-of-living area, you’re part of this statistic.

Good list, but I think there are a few things to add/modify:

• Trump hasn’t just discussed bribing Greenlanders, he’s also repeatedly floated the idea of taking it by force.
• the US is recalling non-essential staff from its embassies in Israel and Lebanon, fueling speculation that Israel is about to attack Iran. (IMO this might unfortunately put a damper on that revolution you mentioned.)
• In Minnesota, ICE murdered a white woman who was a citizen and bystander (not protestor) and who was just trying to obey ICE’s instruction to leave. This has caused not only massive protests but also relatively strong condemnation of ICE by the state government, bringing the US even closer to civil war.

I’m not surprised. It seems like only the unethical companies have growth and turnover these days.

whereupon they cold-called me to ask why i was so frustrated despite apparently being in the 95th percentile of all applicants

LOL, “despite.” You were frustrated because you were in the 95th percentile of applicants! Only the shittiest of the incompetents would put up with that nonsense.

a very low-paid job because the work is not for an unethical purpose

Are you hiring?

OP_IRL

You’re right that they’re doing this because it’s their genuine agenda, not a distraction.

You’re wrong that it’s not worth continuing to hammer on the Epstein files. Like Tim Walz calling them “weird,” it’s one of the few things that seems to move the needle on some of his support.
