So do y'all like accent walls?

@BlackAzizAnansi I wasn't sure about them but last year I painted the walls around the sliding glass doors in my kitchen and I love the result so I guess I'm sold on the concept now.

Just got over $1700 as backpay for a job I left over a year ago because the union signed a new retroactive collective agreement after I left.

To change the live TV channel with on takes 3 button pushes and 11 seconds. It occurred to me that it was actually faster back in the old black and white TV days to get up out of the chair, walk over to the TV, and manually change the channel. This is what 65 years of technology advances has brought us.

@TWSheppard Don’t you mean it was faster for dads to tell their kids to get up change the channel? I’m not old enough but I heard the stories.

@BlackAzizAnansi Nsync. It's ridiculous you'd even ask this.

“If the facts as you just stated are true, then apparently some people are above the law.”

Last week: The Texas Observer and Arizona Center for Investigative Reporting have found that armed vigilantes have forged relationships with local and federal law enforcement—ties that appear to elevate risks of violence in already volatile #border regions. https://www.texasobserver.org/border-vigilantes-law-enforcement-texas-arizona/

"Former president Donald Trump promised to crush pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses, telling a roomful of donors ... that he would expel student demonstrators from the United States, according to participants in the roundtable event with him in New York."

News Corp. just cut a deal with OpenAI, who is courting major media outlets to use their data. What about smaller publications? And publishers' ability to control their content? https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2024/05/27/world/openai-journalism-offers-news-corp/ #commentary #worldnews #openai #chatgpt #rupertmurdoch #newscorp #artificialintelligence #ai #tech #journalism

Remember: If markets were actually competitive, corporations would keep their prices as low as possible as they competed for customers.

Instead, the concentration of the American economy into the hands of a few corporate giants gives them the power to raise prices with impunity.

I serve on my HOA and our President just called me and essentially cussed me out because I'm having a Q&A for people who want to run to be on the board because, in her words, "You could have just told people to come to me" and "You didnt ask for anyone else's input" despite the fact that I did and she just never responded to my email about the idea.

BlackAzizAnansi,
@BlackAzizAnansi@mas.to avatar

Like, how do I deal with this? Lol

raven667,
@raven667@hachyderm.io avatar

@gordotango @BlackAzizAnansi that's exactly what an HOA is, a shadow government which doesn't have to achieve the same standards of ethics that the regular government holds itself accountable to. They were created to get around civil rights protections that even a shit government would hold itself accountable to, they are intentionally worse.

BlackAzizAnansi,
@BlackAzizAnansi@mas.to avatar

Fyi this is the same woman who recommended that we stop holding HOA elections lol

Oh btw, she literally called me twice in a row because she took my dog out to poop but went back in and did all of this in front of our neighbor across the street.

brinnbelyea,

@BlackAzizAnansi I know a guy who got fined $400 for leaving his trash cans out too long. (He's a professor who was at an international conference.) He appealed the fine to the board at an in person meeting. He put costume eyes, nose, and mouth on the can and brought it to he meeting with him. He said he had nothing to say but the can did. He proceeded to do a ventriloquist routine where the can thanked the board for punishing the man who left him on the street for so long.

@BlackAzizAnansi It’s not a meeting when there’s only one member present. And you sent her an email. You’re a better man than me to put up with this. Hang in there.

@BlackAzizAnansi@mas.to avatar

Why did I just wake up to an email where she proposes an election date to the board? Lol

Oh. Ok. Yeah.

The goal isn't to make life better for humans.

It's to eliminate the need for so many humans and then make life excellent for the "elite" that remain.

I thought that was obvious.

Lots of hand wringing about "what happens if Trump/GOP/MAGA wins & implements Project 2025?"

Easy: We're fucked.

Therefore, for the next 169 days I'm devoting 100% of my effort & energy to making sure that doesn't happen. Donate today.
