Cuomo pronounces it [edit: actually I can't remember how Cuomo pronounces it, I just remember that he pronounces it incorrectly]. Sliwa pronounces it "mandami". Is this just a power thing?
Also, Sliwa's a huge weirdo, but the "slapping fannies and killing grannies" line was solid.

I remember vividly when the Fediverse immediately used the fake news about an alleged #Israel​i airstrike on al-Ahli Arab Hospital on 17 October 2023 as evidence for an ongoing genocide.
Wondering what the conclusion from the #Iran​ian airstrike on

Iranian missile strikes hit Israeli hospital
Israel is targeted by new Iranian missile strikes with several hits, among them, the Soroka Hospital in Beersheba. Israel earlier reportedly attacked a key heavy-water research reactor in Khondab. DW has more.

Asset control and power in America is centered among old people with lots of assets.
And they associate protecting the stock market with protecting America.
The “number go up” rule is not a story of greed or economics,
it’s a story of how we make decisions as a society.
Take the pandemic.

The Number Go Up Rule: Why America Refuses to Fix Anything
In the Booming Twenties, all decision-making is about protecting the value of financial assets held by older people. Therefore, the number must go up. And nothing else matters.

Those of you who frequently watch TV shows or movies in languages you don’t understand (e.g. with subtitles):
When you recall dialogue in the show/film, do you remember it in the actual language you heard, or in your native language?

Yup, that's my project:

According to the following article "The D.C.-based think tank estimates the tariffs will bring in an estimated $1.3 trillion of net new revenue through the end of Trump’s current term "
OK let's run some numbers... And remember, the R party wants to cut households in with a one time $500 check. Remember that number $500.
US population is very roughly 300,000,000, about 3x10**8
$1.3 trillion is 1.3x10**12
So if the R's want to repay us for the tarif…

Trump is bringing in so much revenue from tariffs that it’s seriously reducing the $37 trillion national debt
It's the equivalent of a new payroll tax or a 17% cut in the size of the military, according to a top think tank.

Andor.
Film noir plus some action in a rich environment. (But still very Disney., annoying companion droids for example.)
It's "Luck makes the galaxy turn, right?" instead of "Remember, the force will be with you, always."

The harder life gets, the more conventionally melodic, naive and childlike my music gets.
It surprises me, but then I remember when an artist friend became very depressed (not what’s going on with me) her work went from extraordinarily detailed, insectoid abstract ink drawings to much more colourful, simple, “innocent” representational paintings.

More frightening energy-use stats about AI, mostly reporting on the total energy use of GPT, which is pretty abstract, and makes it difficult to answer the question of what impact you yourself are having by using it.
A useful rule of thumb to remember is that the whole energy use per day of a person in a European country (including food, transportation, production etc.) is about 125 KWh if they don't live excessively. 1/n

Never knew there was an uncensored version as I only remember watching it on CTV in Canada.

Reminder: public protest is about visibility, not hiding. The power comes from people being willing to be visible, put their time on the line, and if needed, their bodies.
If you're going to start shit, maybe just ... don't. Direct action of the illegal sort requires careful planning and a tactical and strategic plan for why it will win. It happens sometimes, but it's not the mode, it's not the mode of the No Kings protests. This is a popular, public demonstration of outrage. It's legal (for now, and I hope, ever).
Yes, the police may try to kettle protesters and then trap them into curfew violations in places that have curfews. Masks won't save us from that where it happens. Just running the system with competent representation (and enough bodies to make it A Problem for the system) will.
We don't all need to be masked vigilantes at protests, and in a lot of cases, we need to be worried about the people masking up and starting shit. Remember that this is our opponents current tactic: masked, violent attacks. Don't look like them.

Trump Administration Abandoning Efforts to Combat White Supremacist and Far-Right Terrorism and Violence
Since Trump returned to office in January, several government programs to combat domestic terrorism from white supremacists, militias, and other radicalized far-right extremists have been curtailed or abandoned. Public safety, civil liberties, and national security will suffer.

Many of us are bewailing that there are relatively few solid ways to react to the oncoming tsunami of dictatorship here in the US.
But some ideas strike me:
1. For DC - Since their police force has been federalized, DC could simply discharge and stop paying the officers (or providing benefits) and let the Feds pick up the slack. (Remember how Reagan fired the air traffic controllers? Same idea.)
2. Churches could refuse to admit people who are employees of ICE (or their f…
