Thank you! I have only seen this mentioned in Reddit posts and Substack articles, and definitely feels like an op to undermine trust in the voting system. Targeting an audience that wasn’t wrapped up in the 2020 campaign to undermine the voting system… eyerolls all the way down. The people in place are like electors, delegates, and state secretaries, where the power is de-registering people, throwing out whole locations of ballots, refusing to certify counted results, and many other ways to make voting painful. But not necessarily messing with individual ballots, except where they have armies of people to review any questionable ballots but those are reviewed by reps from both parties in that scenario, I think? Mostly remember the Nevada episode of Veep on that last point

I was going to say, “learn how to communicate” like your ideas and opinions so when you’re confronted with an opportunity to bring people into them, you have accessibile language. But really, the work is on the ground right now, we need communities, what’s yours? Don’t have one? Look around? Don’t see any? Build one. Start with affinity groups, mine’s star trek and ttrpg’s, I have a lot in common with people who share those interests, what are they anxious about? Is it the same? Now we’re together! Is it different? How can we help? Look at your house, neighbors, blocks, how would you communicate with your community if the Internet went out? Cell? Got mesh networks in place? How will your community handle food insecurity? Housing insecurity? Healthcare? Ok. That snowballs quickly, but they aren’t unanswerable questions. We’re not starting from scratch here, we should think about living without a functional state though. Just meet some neighbors and people you feel comfortable communicating with. Think about this stuff with other people, it’s not on one to fix anything, it’s going to take a bunch, so let’s be a bunch. Need a lot of people with courage so no one has to be a hero, many hands make less work. Google Bookchin, Library Socialism. Reading groups at bookstores, slingshots, game shops, food co-ops, mutual aid, jail support, community pantry, cat cafe. Being a safe person for people who feel unsafe, and then, how do you let scared people know you’re safe? So I too feel really small and powerless, but I know I’m not.

CRDTs are good for both realtime collab and local-first.

The Binder! Nice pick

Don’t stop trying.

1 blue box Mac, finished + 1 ramen pack, finished = ‘Hate Pot’ cause you’ll hate how much you like it.

Can be some dishes though, feeds two in a sitting, double to feed four, grab a fork and gather round the combination. Soul food for 90s latchkey kids

Exactly. It’s still team sports at the end of the day and they’ll fall in line behind whatever wins. And Trump wins for them but sure, a few “adults in the room” make it more palatable

Here to commiserate 🖖

That’s also a cover for the IDF violence. Hamas bombed their own hospital, used children for cover, AND IDF bought the bait and bombs civilians. Kids as bait wins, every time, don’t take the bait. People are smarter and better than that. Terrorist takes cover behind a child, they won the argument, hands down. No way we hurt kids. And that’s not the philosophy observed

And it was a good day
