uspolitics, trump
I keep seeing smart people writing stuff like
> [the US] kept peace through strength balanced with restraint, and wielded influence through culture, values, and diplomacy
I understand that #Trump is terrible and some people feel tempted to idealize what they had before him, but we should be more discerning, or otherwise it becomes impossible to understand how this happened in the first place.
Let's start with some questions:
- peace where? and for who? was it true peace, or "Pax Romana"?
- are we going to take seriously that statement on "restraint"? after all the lies, internal witch hunting, sanctions, coups, wars, invasions, genocides, and last but not least, 2 unnecessary nuclear strikes on Japan?
Now, on "culture, values, and diplomacy". Sure. Why not. Not everything was going to be bad, right?
But the thing is, abusive husbands aren't bad all the time either. From time to time they know how to be sweet and seem to care: one present here, flowers the next day, a little bit of gaslighting, and fake apologies after that "accidental" slap.
Given enough time (if the wife is still alive), at some point the victim decides to leave, and then all hell breaks loose. Trump is the manifestation of that moment. He does not represent a change in #USA's nature, but a hidden side that was "always" there, just waiting to play its role.
Others believe this is because #US citizens have been intentionally dumbed down by a combination of propaganda and a disfunctional education system, and I'm sure it's partly true... But let's see what many of their most brilliant and educated citizens are choosing to do with their lives today: https://sfstandard.com/2025/03/12/stanford-students-want-in-on-the-military-tech-gold-rush/
So, all I'm asking is: please drop the act. It was always a clusterfuck.

My favourite thing about iDubbbz bringing Content Cop/Deputy back and on H3 is that through pure habit of contrarianism the Sam Hyde fans have to vouch for Ethan Klein of all people.

Two years ago at #CSUN I learned about what became my favorite browser extension, BeeLine Reader. I've been a subscriber ever since.
It's easy to set up on desktop, but has been some struggle to get working on Android. But this week I discovered it works with Microsoft's Edge Canary mobile browser, which has experimental support for extensions. Instructions are here:

"The most effective countermeasure is simple: tariffs for oligarchs. Countries should tie market access for foreign multinationals and billionaires to fair taxation. As soon as Trump follows through with tariffs on Canada and Mexico, those countries should retaliate by taxing US oligarchs."

🎉 PDF2flip intègre maintenant la fonction de zoom et de déplacement dans la page !
Je croyais que c'était réservé Š la version non-libre et complète de la librairie que j'utilise, mais en fait le Digiflip d'Emmanuel Zimmert @… m'a permis de comprendre que le zoom et le déplacement était intégré, mais simplement caché Š cause…… d'un bête truc CSS qui masquait les boutons de commande.
Bref, c'est fonctionnel maintenant !

Every other year the sentiment towards The Simpsons swings from "I don't mind, they're having fun with what they have, the show is even getting a little introspective" to "They should've ended 20 years ago, which is coincidentally when I stopped watching TV in general" either relative indifference or wishing the medium of television didn't make it through the 00s.

14,4 % de la population allemande vit dans la pauvreté. Cela représente plus de 12 millions de personnes. [...] 40% des ménages allemands composés d’un parent seul élevant des enfants sont « exposés au risque de pauvreté ou d'exclusion sociale ».
