I didn’t know alemán was another way to say “German.” I play early music, and it’s also a type of song known as a “German dance,” so that makes a lot of sense.

Imagine being so brain-wormed that you think eliminating a milquetoast neoliberal like Jeffries is the key to all of your fascist dreams.

It’s a way to pretend their opinion is reasonable without having to justify it.

It’s insane that manufacturers make smart TV remotes without a built in keyboard.

Irish and Caribbean. The accents sound musical.

Someone should invent a way to get a video file off of a phone without cracking it open and letting the Internet leak out.

I cut down construction paper to use as the front and back covers (I usually print a front cover, but the back is black), then use a sheet of transparency film on each side to protect the whole thing and give it a more finished look.

Edit: example

A comb binder for bookmaking.

I print off a lot of RPG books and music that would otherwise cost a fortune. Now it’s basically the cost of toner and paper.

I like having an e-reader for most stuff, but some things are just better as physical objects that can be marked up and tabbed.

A Red Scare is a form of moral panic provoked by fear of the rise of left-wing ideologies in a society, especially communism and socialism. Historically, red scares have led to mass political persecution, scapegoating, and the ousting of those in government positions who have had connections with left-wing movements. The name is derived from the red flag, a common symbol of communism and socialism.

The cops are a right-wing paramilitary organization. Crushing leftists is practically in their job description.

There’s a reason why cops are used as strikebreakers.

Cantiga 166 if you’re into medieval music.

This is why I believe that building up community spaces is truly the way forward.

Mutual aid is the foundation of society, but we Americans have let that part of our culture deteriorate and instead promoted the “self-made individual” as the heroic ideal.

Although it doesn’t seem vital, promoting pro-social spaces is critical to getting people to engage with their community and expand the “tribe” to include more degrees of separation.

I believe they reverted the power-up on Bluetooth activation (for LCD models) previously, but they reimplemented it in a recent patch.

It seems to be even from the Steam menu.

Thanks for the advice.

I looked around for ways to turn it off, but I might have just missed it. I appreciate the help.

It seems fine, no issues.

Good point, I should have added that info up front.

I’m running stock SteamOS, and it’s an early LCD model. It even happens when I’m home alone.

Alex Jones and his lawyers were repeatedly warned that if they did not participate they would receive a default judgement.

From a contemporary article:

Connecticut Superior Court Judge Barbara Bellis cited the defendants’ “willful noncompliance” with the discovery process as the reasoning behind the ruling. Bellis noted that defendants failed to turned over financial and analytics data that were requested multiple times by the Sandy Hook family plaintiffs.

It was so much fun fucking around, Alex, but the time has come to find out.

The Infowars host had argued that a judge was wrong to find him liable for defamation and infliction of emotional distress without holding a trial on the merits of allegations lodged by relatives of victims of the shooting, which killed 20 first graders and six educators in Newtown, Connecticut.

Their recent Tucker Carlson episode is one of the most bleak things I’ve ever heard.
