It is not only more truthful, but also "Defund the Department of Defense" was always a struggle for libs to come around to, but "Defund the Department of War" is an easier sell.
While waiting at a coworking space to meet someone I overheard this conversation:
"If leadership wants to adopt a management style of fear and aggressive oversight we should align across the board because I know some managers don't follow that. Studies show that a fearful work environment can motivate people to work faster. Our workforce will perform better if they fear losing their job"
seems like loads of people r listening to crap without questioning it and reproducing some narrow minded controll patterns🤦♀️ Yeahy, back into fascism Who would have thought that hostile environments r better than the one where u r respected, where u r taken serious, where u could connect and maybe be part of … Just reading would be soooo enough. There is so much research on that🤦♀️ who would have thought 🕳️
September 5th 2018. First night of a tour in Budapest and we are on a boat cruise along the Danube. As we board, a fellow tour member sees my Nikon DSLR. Him: "Why did you bring that? You can take any thing with this (holds up his iPhone) as good as what you'd get with that heavy camera" Me: "no. My DSLR will take much better pics" He proceeds to mansplain me on how the iPhone is a better camera for the next half hour, despite me telling him that I worked in a camera store, even after repeated requests to stop talking, as I want to enjoy the cruise. (His blurry distant shoreline pic to "show me" did get a little laugh though) As we were passing the ornate state Government Building I notice the silhouette of our tour guide across the boat. She liked the photo so much she used it in her brochure. Even he had to admit his iPhone wasn't up to that. While the best camera on you is the one you have, there's nothing wrong with going with the one that will bring you the most joy. #photography #nikond750
We are in the midst of a surge of political violence from the horrific killings of the former Speaker of the Minnesota House and her husband to increasing clashes with ICE agents.
Trump wants this violence to excuse him to impose even more authoritarian control over his enemies.
We dive deep into it this week as he threatens to send thousands of Federal agents and the military to Chicago. -- A city that is literally over three times larger than his practice exercise in Washington D.C

I was once in a taxi with a guy who started talking what he claimed was fluent Mandarin. I don't speak Mandarin, and the driver was Serbian, so we had to take his word for it.
I've long given up on Wikipedia. Every single time I've tried to contribute anything, or correct a spelling or grammatical error, my edits have been backed-out and reverted by what I assume was a staff-member or moderator. The whole website is one giant clique and fiefdom and unless you're part of the *clique*, good luck contributing. Honestly I'd wish someone would fork the damn thing because Wikipedia and the Wikimedia Foundation, are toxic as fuck. ---
This long read in The Verge does a remarkable job of describing how Wikipedia's editing community works, the project's strengths and weaknesses, and the threats it faces.

It will be a whole new level of hypocrisy if they manage this whilst they've actively campaigned against sensible gun control measures — mass shootings by trans people represent only 0.087% of all mass shootings.

I once spent an hour getting ready and going through my gear, then an hour and a half on a boat, then dove for nearly an hour with my (then) girlfriend and a few others, filming the entire thing. It was a spectacular dive, so much wildlife. It was also my SO’s first dive as a certified diver.
Except every time I clicked “record” I was stopping the recording, and every time I stopped it I started it. I captured nearly 2 hours of glorious footage of my fins, my hands, and my belly.
well can I tell you my perspective as the beneficiary of the work you do?
I rely on your information as one of the most highly credible, and the most deeply insightful sources of information as the invasion drags on. I'm always proud to promote it and grateful to see it. furthermore I know you do it out of generosity, and I appreciate that immensely.
I propose not to think of it as rework, but as your most rehearsed and thoroughly prepared production to date!

Il video inizia con un'immagine completamente oscura, che poco a poco si illumina da destra, rivelando una luce brillante che si avvicina lentamente al centro dell'immagine. Questa luce, che potrebbe essere la Luna, diventa sempre più visibile e luminosa, illuminando gradualmente il cielo notturno. La luce crea un effetto di sfocatura, con un bordo luminoso che si estende verso l'esterno, conferendo un senso di profondità e dimensione. In basso, si intravedono piccole luci rosse, probabilmente le luci di un veicolo in lontananza, che aggiungono un elemento di scala e contesto alla scena. La luce continua a crescere in intensità, illuminando maggiormente il cielo e creando un contrasto netto con l'oscurità circostante. La scena rimane statica, con la luce che domina l'immagine, mantenendo un'atmosfera di quiete e contemplazione.

I know you're probably exhausted with the topic of Robodebt. It's been going on forever. It's been a very very long road and the biggest arseholes behind it clearly got away with it, instead of going to jail. But I ask you to read one more article today, and reflect on the impoverished morals of Australian politics over the past decade that led to such an abuse of power.
People died because of this vote winning obsession with "welfare fraud". The real fraud is conducted by lobbyists, bankers, traders, developers, politicians, and their mates. If you're not one of the people who enjoy passive income from your wealth, then you're standard of living is being slowly crushed to make others richer.
"The government will pay hundreds of thousands of robodebt victims more than $500 million. But we may never know if public servants knowingly acted unlawfully."
