I’ve learned that OG Luddites were not against new technology, they were against technology that disproportionately enriches the owner class. The common usage today was meant to discredit the Luddites as being against technological progress. I’ve been in tech most of my career, and I kind of want to take back the term.

Probably more jobs, and certainly less health compromising jobs, in solar and wind. I think Luddites would not support investing in coal, versus renewables.

Maybe “regressive” is a more fitting term for the MAGA death cult?

That’s a fair question. I guess I just hope (and do what I can) for a better future

Appreciate the transparency

I’ve heard it said that Walt was an antisemite, so I looked it up to confirm. According to an article in jewishpress.com the evidence that Walt was really an antisemite is weak but the MPA of the time had more things of concern.. That same article goes on to equate anti-Israel with antisemitism so I doubt they’d give Walt any benefit of a doubt.

I’m not on Twitter, but I hear getting exposure to actual vile antisemitism happens quite fast.

I cannot wait for us to be past this “any criticism of Israel is antisemitism” and the US funding a genocide phase.

Mine is apparently not eligible. Hopefully because it is not a risk, and not that I’ve had it off for a few years and only recently brought it back up to try out Lineage OS.

For real. I would love to believe this is true, but even if it is wouldn’t ICE just roll up on the event and start cuffing attendees?

In case you missed it from a few years ago. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Did_That!

That would get my vote.

Mandela Effect is a thing. The impulse to verify your understanding is a good thing, in contrast with people so stubborn they’d rather double down than admit they could be wrong.

Hope the investigation is able to uncover what happened so other facilities (and this one, assuming it is restored) can prevent another event like this.

That said.. what are the chances there were already sufficient preventative measures available and they were misapplied or simply not done?
