Discord is a data mining operation. Jason Citron did the same thing with Aura Feint. Now a blind eye is turned. Presumably because this is a post-gamer gate world now

Forums, message boards, Mailing lists, IRC, Telnet Bulletin Boards, USPS, drawing rare Pepes on a sticky note... none of these things went away. They just went out of fashion.

If you want old-is-new-again, gopher and Gemini are basically unmonitored.

Good point. How many Democrats have opposed this or similar bills? 1%? Less? House Democrats have also opposed recent relief bills.

It’s not useful to critique a choice when there is no better alternative.

One anon mentioned that the case isn’t thrown out, and that TX can refile once there is injury in fact, but this time much more informed of the defendant states’ likely arguments. That is to say that this is preparatory work for a real filing after electors vote.

Of course, that 7 justices didn’t want to end up like Scalia and punted is also very believable.

Mailing lists are also a good fallback. GNU Mailman and listmonk are reasonable self-hosted options.

Is a Reddit-style newsfeed a good medium for organization? It’s great for current events and hot-takes, but I’m not sure if that’s what you’re looking for. There are some advantages to boring-ol bulletin boards and wikis. Chats and short messages seem to trend towards a lot of pithy one-liners and not a lot of focus on real tasks.

y’all

Do you pretend to have a sassy-black woman voice when you say that?

I think the establishment will have to put on some kind of show to reestablish credibility in the electoral process. The swamp creatures didn’t even go to much effort to pretend the election was legitimate this year.

You should check out the state congressional hearings Rudy Giuliani has been doing. The expert witness testimony makes it pretty clear that modifying votes is pretty trivial and can be made difficult to detect. Fulton County GA had 100K adjudicated votes, If I recall correctly. In adjudication, the equipment operator can change votes at his or her discretion.

I think this is falling apart because instead of a well-oiled conspiracy, there are hundreds of schizophrenics desperately cheating any way they can, unaware of each other’s actions.

Almost all of those views are hecklers. I don’t even think their family members watch this stuff.

This is from September 29.

You mean a birth certificate in Hawaii signed by “U.K.L.Lee” isn’t legit?

There could be a schism in the FBI.

A lifetime supply of 5.56mm. Lucky stiff.

Once you start destroying less popular statues, you have a precedent to destroy others. The goal is to erase and rewrite history. Leftists are notorious for retconning their worldview onto the past.

Also, see motte and Bailey fallacy. People might criticize your rewriting history by defacing old monuments, but then you fall back to the sanctum sanctorum of “anti-racism”.

Just because he’s pretending doesn’t mean that he’s wrong. Even liberals are pushing hit pieces on Feinstein to create a narrative that she’s suffering cognitive decline (a face-saving maneuver to hide that she’s sold influence to China for years). The China connection is a big deal and people are trying to get off that boat before it sinks. Don’t believe what they say, but watch what they do.

Not my post. Just passing by.

This was attributed to COVID stress by one reporter. The guy was a personal trainer, so he was probably out of work for a while. Not trying to justify. Just stating how this has political relevance.
