Meep is up first with Election Post-Mortem: New York Karma. At last a bit of Sanity on the election.
My advice for people unhappy with recent results is to get involved with local town political committees. [SNIP]
These groups are usually looking for volunteers for specific tasks, and starting out with a small group is a great way to meet locals. I think starting out with local campaigns is the way to go, because you can really see where you make an impact. It may not sound glamorous, but it gets more done than you think.
Impro Guns brings us another example of a "craft-made" fiream with A1 Whippet Tommy
Emulating classic American firearms has always been something local gunsmiths take to heart.
Red State - Activist Media’s Attitude Towards ‘Citizen Journalists’ Is Exactly Why Nobody Trusts Them
But what most people know is that despite O’Connor’s contention that major news outlets have fact-checkers and editors, mainstream media routinely gets it wrong, oftentimes deliberately so. Trust in the media has declined significantly over the past decade.
The Other McCain - ‘… After Receiving a Call About a Suspicious Man in the Area …’
This Criminal Super-Genius motif is very useful as a fictional plot device, but in the real world, most criminals are stupid, and their crimes aren’t usually mysterious.
NoTricksZone - Green Fascism Looms Behind Veil Of Fake Benevolence…”Much More Radical Groups”
Instead of taking to the streets simply placards and banners, these “activists” are swarming out in small groups armed with superglue, mashed potatoes or tomato soup. Their intention is to break the law in spectacular ways, without regard for the damages or consequences caused to others. Their indiscriminate attacks have targeted airports, artworks, museums, offices or the premises of ministries or administrations.
Again from The Other McCain - Sam Bankman-Fried: MIT-Educated Crypto Swindler Scammed Billions, Donated Millions to Democrats
When this bushy-headed slob in sneakers was CEO of a company once valued at $32 billion, people could point to him and say, “See? Capitalism is just a gigantic crapshoot. All that ‘work hard and save your money’ stuff is just a lot of moralistic bullshit.” Now that Bankman-Fried is bankrupt (and quite likely to end up in prison), however, what lesson have we learned? We have learned what I’ve been saying for years: If something seems too good to be true, it’s probably neither good nor true.
Adaptive Curmudgeon - Hunting And Election After Action Report: Part 1: Trigger Warning And Dead Furnaces
The universe has gotten so fake and gay that when I Googled “soma” it didn’t come up with Huxley’s Brave New World. (Technically, I have a non-Google search engine but that’s not the point.) The point is that there are people who think “soma” refers to “a drink having intoxicating properties from ancient India”. The poor bastards lacking context are clueless and our reference materials won’t help! Ironically, that’s part of what Huxley was talking about!
Once more from The Other McCain - Why Vote-By-Mail Is The End Of The Republic
Our election system needs reform with an eye toward integrity and a side glance at simplicity. Other than deployed military, the use-cases for ballots in the mail are weak
