Something about being middle-aged and having your own tastes in music is having no idea who Bad Bunny is, nor that he's apparently the biggest music act on the planet, and ultimately giving absolutely no shit about it :-)

It's safe to say what was revealed really makes it hard for liberals to demand reform, or to vote for change. Epstein operated outside our system, quite effectively it seems.

So, I think liberals simply do not have the tools to respond. You can't vote-blue-no-matter-who your way out of this one.

Could that mean that we get a bunch of liberals in search of a new ideology? That would be interesting to watch.

It's interesting to see the reactions to the Epstein Files. Up until very recently, it's been trickling photos that felt more like a soap opera than news. But many liberals were all over it.

Now, that we've received overwhelming evidence of a systematic... I don't even know what to call it, the reaction isn't meeting expectations. Maybe it's just me. But if feels like liberal influencers have taken a step back.

If there’s any interest, I could write guides on how to set up Discourse or Jitsi on your own server, similar to the IRC guide. https://www.neatnik.net/setting-up-an-irc-server/

IRC is just one alternative to Discord, focusing more on the live chat side of things. Discourse is another solid alternative, especially for communities that lean more heavily toward threaded messaging and slow-motion discussions. And Discourse’s live chat is super nice, too!

For voice and video, Jitsi is great. I think IRC
+ Jitsi or Discourse + Jitsi could replace Discord in many cases. It wouldn’t be perfect, but at least you don’t have to show your papers.

TL;DRH we never wanted to be a state, the gringos who stole our land never wanted us to be a state, and Spain back-stabbed us.

by us, i mean the working classes, not the landowning managers of La Corona & gringolarchy.

so we’ve been in a limbo, sometimes bombing you gringos with guerrillas or musicians.

as it stands: way before owing us independece, USians owe us reparations; ie: Puerto Rico is taíno land denied to millions of us gaslighted about not surviving genocide

Again, nothing will piss you off about the US quite like learning by about Puerto Rican history. It’s a well of European and US racism.

And in perfect Colonialist racism, US people STILL weigh in on what Puerto Rico “should be” or “should have” without knowing anything about the country or history, or caring to learn. It’s like the perfect example of how shitty US Colonialism is.

We’ve moved our internal communications from Discord to Zulip at Mastodon, and I think there are plans to do the same for our Patreon community. The harder part will be untangling my gaming communities from this…

If you feel the urge to weigh in on Puerto Rican statehood, even if it's just to comment that Puerto Rican's "voted" to become a state, you should first learn Puerto Rican history.

You should understand the flavor of racism your grandparents used against Puerto Ricans, and why that racism still exists today regardless of your political party affiliation.

Then, you can undo the conditioned belief that Puerto Ricans cannot govern themselves.

The log checking is done, and I indeed did come 1st in North America for 10m QRP at the 2025 CQ WW SSB contest!

All the sweeter because my antenna was homebrew (and blew down two days later 😂).

I think it would be fun to have a homebrew superhet category for these contests.

That is why the Trumpists have been raging against liberal white women like Renee Good (who not only betrayed her duty to submit to male authority, but also her obligation as a *white* women to sustain the ethno-state); why thex have been deriding Alex Pretti as a “race traitor.”

What we’re seeing are not “protests,” but what Adam Serwer has so aptly called “neighborism”: Acts of democratic solidarity that directly confront the political project that is fueling the violent occupation and defy the MAGA vision of terrorizing those who don’t “belong” into isolation.

The push for the adoption of "AI" in healthcare and education is a push to dismantle healthcare and education for the masses.
