Unless Jesus himself is on the ballot, every election for all time will be between the lesser of two evils.

This scene is why Breaking Bad is the greatest. Jesse tries to cope with his guilt over murdering a person by confessing to killing a “problem dog.” He’s afraid of facing the consequences of his actions, but even more afraid of living in a meaningless universe where he can commit acts of evil and not be punished. He’s grappling with the deeply human desire for justice and meaning, and all the group leader can do is offer modern “self-acceptance” therapeutic cliches in response which Jesse recognizes as utterly empty and useless. A scene straight out of a Dostoevsky novel. Jesse’s whole arc towards the end of the show is basically Raskolnikov in Crime and Punishment. Brilliant stuff.

Yesterday was my 50th birthday! This one was tough. Not because I’m getting older. Everyone gets older. It’s because I lost decades. Mentally & physically I was barely able to function. My old Youth pastor recently told me he always feels happier when he volunteers. “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” Acts 20:35 What did I do on my birthday? I volunteered. My evening was spent with Family. No I didn’t do a fancy vacation. I visited my hometown. I didn’t have a huge celebration either. It was a quiet night. That’s all I needed. 🙏❤️‍🩹🧠💪

Daily driving Linux on the desktop still hits massive friction in a lot of unexpected ways. One example from today was trying to access an SMB file share on my @Synology NAS on Omarchy and simple files won't open because of GVFS/network pointers (regardless of what file manager I'm using). To fix it? I have to write custom fstab scripts and credential vaults (just mount the share directly). This needs to be a 1-click native fix at some point for new Linux users. Never knew this was such an issue with my casual Linux tinkering or occasional server config, but forcing myself to daily drive on my new Omarchy machine is highlighting some of these weird hurdles. We can and will fix it, just highlighting this. Maybe there is a better way I'm not aware of. Please chime in!

For the half-century from 1960 to 2010, MN had Republican governors for 26 years, Democrats for 20 and an Independent for 4 (Jesse Ventura). That's where the state's good governance reputation dates from. After 16 straight years under Democrats, MN is a national laughingstock.

Too much misdirected compassion. Not enough rational empathy. That’s where we’re at.

By looking at "network audits" of Flock cameras in Wisconsin, you can actually tell what agency is the worst offender for blindly running nationwide Flock searches of over 6,000 agencies and 120,000 cameras. Turns out it is Gavin Newsom's California Highway Patrol, which runs about 50,000 nationwide Flock searches each month. That's typically double FBI's usual nationwide searching habits. Why is California running so many nationwide searches? You'll have to ask them - but there probably isn't a reason to search small towns in Waukesha County for crimes going on in California. It signals no serious oversight or safeguards. Many other large agencies aren't doing the same volume of nationwide Flock searching.

The Village of Elm Grove, Wis., (pop. 6,500) has ~6 Flock cameras. Because they have turned on "nationwide search," officers from around the country can search their cameras. In July, those outside agencies conducted over 1 million searches on Elm Grove's system. The reasons? Over 250,000 searches were for something like "investigation," "other," or "not applicable."

I really miss the days when everything was closed for these holidays. I understand that some people have to work - doctors, nurses, law enforcement, first responders. But retail stores used to be closed - and we survived. We spent time with family and friends and if we needed something from Target we planned ahead or did without. Because Target was closed so its employees could take the day off and spend time with their family and friends. It wasn't always about the $$$$, it was about the people who made the $$$$. And while I'm on that - can cashiers please start saying 'thank you' again? I can't remember the last time I paid for something and instead of the cashier saying 'thank you' they ask if I want a receipt and then say "have a good one." Seriously WTF? I am the reason the business is open, the reason the cashier gets a paycheck. Instead I grab my stuff and thank him. For what I don't know. A little gratitude goes a long way. Thank you for coming to my Red Talk.

The Lindsay Clancy case is an analogy for western leadership as a whole. 9 crazy women. 2 pushover men. 1 single man of conviction holding the line.

This is why I no longer watch or care about "Professional" sports. They all are indoctrinated and I will not participate in their delusion.
Show me the most retarded post you've seen. I'll start 👇

Below, I have collected every bad faith argument in favor of the surveillance state, handed out to influencers during this paid op, and why each one is retarded. I put my heart and soul into this. Please enjoy. 1.) “If you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear” •This is retarded because it continues to treat a nationwide, searchable movement log as harmless even after officers have used it to stalk ex-girlfriends and the system has produced armed stops of innocent drivers. 2.) “They only catch criminals and find stolen cars or missing kids” •This is retarded because it ignores that the default is photographing every passing vehicle, not a targeted warrant, and that alerts have already sent police after the wrong people. 3.) “Cameras are already everywhere so Flock is no different” •This is retarded because it pretends a privately operated, AI-searchable national network with inter-agency lookup that bypasses due process, is the same as a local traffic cam or your neighbor’s doorbell. 4.) “Cities own the data and Flock is just a vendor” This is retarded because audits showed federal agencies searching local plate data and Flock toggling national lookup without cities knowing. 5.) “Audit logs and purpose fields prevent abuse” This is retarded because it is offered as a complete answer after officers typed “investigation” and still ran plates of girlfriends, and after the company itself later added tools because the old ones failed. The “safeguards” are just mandatory discipline for making their tyranny look bad. 6.) “It’s just a snapshot at a fixed point, not tracking” •This is retarded because it is the legal talking point even though the product stitches those snapshots into paths, heat maps, and person-level files. It is warrantless dragnet, and it’s been unconstitutional for 60 years. 7.) “Critics just want to defund the police or normalize lawlessness” •This is retarded because it recasts bipartisan privacy pushback and contract cancellations as a partisan conspiracy instead of answering for the actual access and misuse record. 8.) “Retention is only a few days and we don’t sell data” •This is retarded because the selling point of the product is a shared national lookup of those same records and any civilian can walk off the street and get a job with access to that data. 9.) “It doesn’t collect personally identifiable information” •This is retarded because not only were plates matched to owners, but the company built tools to jump from LPR to person. 10.) “It isn’t a search because it doesn’t open your door” •This is retarded because logging every car into a queryable database is the modern version of a general warrant: rummage first, invent a reason later, and the 4th amendment was the answer to general warrants. 11.) “Phones already track you so Flock is fine” •This is retarded because the state building a warrantless dragnet is not excused by the existence of private, voluntary apps and contracts that you can refuse or self regulate. “12.) “It’s constitutional because courts like ALPRs” •This is retarded because warrantless dragnet is not constitutional. 13.) “Flock just helps catch real criminals” •This is retarded because selling a total location archive as enforcement is how you launder a dragnet. It’s trading our essential liberty for temporary security without our consent. 14.) “Opponents are just being dramatic or paid to hate tech and America and missing kids.” This is retarded because the coordinated “Flock op” of identical accounts is insisting a warrantless catalog of every vehicle is the same thing as voluntary cameras while appealing to emotion, and that is anti-American redcoat shit.
