People here are blaming racism and Obama and that is part of it, but another bigger factor is 2008 is the year neoliberalism died. And unlike in 1932 there wasn’t any reckoning with it, holding anyone to blame or charting a positive vision for what might replace it. Obamaism ended up being a bunch of empty platitudes and the attempt to just bandage things up and keep rolling. Bernie tried to name perpetrators and chart a positive vision (back to the 1930s at least) but he was ratfucked. So ever since we’ve been living in this hypernormal world where everything sucks, everything’s getting worse, nobody believes in anything and an increasingly fringe set up carnival barkers are the only people with any resonance.

Tomorrow’s headline: Google announces layoff of 1000 employees.

Nature is healing

The Potawatomi already own half of downtown Milwaukee. If they get downtown Chicago back they’ll be ballin.

So is @wineg@sh.itjust.works banned or is @sh.itjust.works banned? I was subbed to some channels there and noticed that federation of comments didn’t seem to be working.

Elon had similar PR until he fired them for not “keeping it real.”

You could probably just buy Stellantis for a fiver. A lot of the Ontario factories are theirs anyway. You could even let Bombardier run it and there’s no way they can do worse than the way it’s currently being run.

“It’s at 90 PSI and is 80 percent air, 15 percent water, and 5 percent oil,”

Something’s seriously wrong with the air system then, and it will contaminate all their work and compromise the welds. Water is a particularly pernicious contaminant in welding because it causes hydrogen in the weld that will make it brittle and crack.

Welding shops have to be CLEAN. There are some welding processes that can work ok with dirty metal (SMAW with some electrode types) but these only work on mild steel, and these processes really aren’t used in a shop or production setup, more for field work.

The United States Department of Homeland Security labeled on Wednesday the incident that took place in Minnesota as “an act of domestic terrorism.”

Sounds like they describe the incident accurately for once, although I would point out that this is just one sub-incident of a wider campaign of “blue terror” being waged by Trump’s brownshirts against the American people.

It’s always the ones you most suspect.

The article doesn’t really explain why except “maybe someone would like it” but I think the real answer was CGA. CGA was a predecessor color technology to VGA with a different 8 bit color space. So if you took a color scheme for CGA and rendered it on VGA you’d end up with a really garish scene.

When I was a kid I had a DOS game that I played the hell out of. I ended up ruining the disk, and stupidly didn’t have a backup, but the box included a CGA version of the game. It played just fine on my computer except that the colors were trippy on my VGA monitor.

Carney seems incredibly driven to implement the Starmer plan, which has gone just great in the UK. WTF is wrong with the commonwealth left?

Came here to make the same comment.

There’s been a big push by a group called American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators to ban Kei trucks in the USA. Many states DMVs, who are lobbied by this organization, have been choosing administratively to retroactively revoke people’s registrations for these vehicles.

I got downvoted to hell every time I pointed out he’s a globalist banker. I even had someone condescendly “explain” that he’s a central banker which is somehow better

I remember being really excited about Bill Foster winning originally. I thought having a scientist in government would be a big win. Turns out scientists can also be tools.

really starts normalizing nazism

As we speak Dick Cheny is lying in state in front of all the “good liberals”

Imagine paying being so insecure that you spend billions of dollars for a robotic sycophant

But I was informed that Democrats were the good guys!

Cornell West put it perfectly: Trump is a neofascist gangster and Summers is a neoliberal gangster
