Honestly, it should be a Signal bot. Self hostable, or with a website somewhere outside the US run by someone who is never coming here, if your group is not into doing self hosting. We should be in this for the long haul and encouraging good practices, I think. It freaks me out that people are using Reddit for 50501 and putting this stuff on their phones where they can see who has it installed.

I am not saying it is technically impossible, I am just saying it would be weird for such a fundamental fact as over 50% of ICE agents' income coming from personal payouts for bounties to just not be reported on anywhere. And of course "it has been mentioned in various spots on Blue Sky" is more or less the same as "my cousin told me."
(Actually, it is worse, because you know your cousin is a real person whereas on Bluesky there is no such guarantee. But, regardless, it basically means nothing at all in terms of whether or not that assertion is true. "Weird" is an understatement for how improbable this is to actually be true.)
lemmy.world comments section in action, I guess. Literally every time someone comes at me with some kind of bonkers take, I look up, and I see that I am in a lemmy.world community.
It has been mentioned in various spots on Blue Sky and so forth
Oh, well in THAT case lmao
0:05: IDK what this guy's on about, this is just normal NES music
0:30: Oh I see
1:08: Okay Led Zeppelin, calm down holy crap lol, this is wonderful
?
What?
No it isn't. Where did you get this idea?
Yeah, but so maybe it goes dormant for another 5-10 years and people forget. And then, when middle-aged Stephen Miller comes out like Pink Floyd when he shaved all his hair, all with big plans and fire in his eyes... maybe he's running against Gavin Newsom who's kind of a POS anyway and nothing the left can get excited about, maybe he wins, and maybe then he gets to work. And he's got energy, he's not old or stupid.
I think it's better that it's Trump. It's still awful, but I really think it's better this way. I don't think people will forget this once it passes, or get distracted.
I feel like it is complacency poison, and habituation of what the important issues and messages are. It's like, it can't be that bad. They can't just be killing people. And they can't be planning what they are clearly planning.
Also, same spirit but just running on hardware of a toaster oven:

"Battle has ended and we have a hero now. I was feeling different as I received blessings from comrades. Now, so much time has elapsed and I'm old now, I think it's time for me to tell you the whole story. I hope this story will be told for a long time..."
I have no idea why it was the only game to ever do an action soundtrack in a minor key. Result is clearly 💣
Seriously. If Putin thought NATO was a paper tiger, why didn't he invade them, instead of Ukraine which he's now having so much trouble with?
When you're comfortable, it's easy not to give a shit. "Maus" gives a pretty terrifying picture of hanging out with people like this, in 1930s eastern Europe, and their lack of concern.
