It sounds like Twitter is hosting their services on several cloud platforms or replication services that weren’t blocked by Brazil. So, users in Brazil just hit the 3rd party platforms and kept going like usual.

Is that Twitter’s fault and/or on purpose? Don’t know yet, but services like Akamai need to make sure their hosting Twitter doesn’t get them banned in Brazil across the board.

International relations are often tough to build, especially when one side is quite rude and then wanting special benefits afterwards.

The UK cut the ties, so the EU has more say in how relations are rebuilt. The UK had a ton of special exemptions and their own national identity in the EU then many other members and the UK still freaked out about how oppressed they were.

The EU doesn’t really owe the UK anything that’s not in still existing agreements and if the UK wants a relationship they’ll have to come to the table bringing something, not just hurling demands.

I’m just really glad that the UK leaving the EU didn’t devolve into armed conflict. That’s a pretty normal arc for such a big relations change.

Who would have guessed that she’s corrupt? Strange that she’s acting just like her right wing anti-Constitution bosses on the Supreme Court. I wonder how that kind of corruption trickles down.

The right has been trying to destroy schools since they were founded hundreds of years ago. Secular, public education is an anathema to the racist and religious indoctrination required to maintain right wing communities.

This is very much a two birds, one stone moment for their agenda.

This voting season has a very different feel from 2020. I’ve been trying to understand what’s up.

Because there’s not the same kind of public displays of right wing movements, I feel that it seems like a safer situation on a large scale. The tradeoff is that the right wing nutjobs don’t have the same public visible groups to join and yell about life with. They’re likely going to be much more likely to lash out through terroristic acts and to be more individually violent.

So, while there’s not nearly the same quantity of truck convoys of deplorables driving around waving flags, that same energy is going to be distilled into a more potent sludge of evil under the surface.

Plus the estimated million+ who smartly fled Russia in the first year of the war.

• Women get educated
• Women get their own money
• Women get control over reproductive rights and tools

So much of our world is based around women keeping it on the rails without receiving credit for their efforts.

If the government financial trams aren’t already investigating it, then they’re stupid. This is shooting fish in a barrel for financial crimes.

Und dann das nächste Feld für mehr Parkplätze!

I’m often impressed with Finland. The attitudes and decision making the nation expresses are often very grounded and data driven.

The trams in Helsinki were also phenomenal. I loved getting around town so easily.

Our family visited Germany this past summer. I really wanted to get the 49€ tickets, but the system to buy them is cumbersome and we weren’t around that long.

Now, we did have a visit in summer 2002. We still have our 9€ tickets from that trip. It was a wonder to be able to get around so cheaply.

Yes, yes we are. And it’s getting worse in many cultural groups.

You mean a proven serial con man light be lying to get people to give him things? News at 11.

They’re afraid to be called unfair after he said that they’d be unfair. It’s one of the strategies that us uses to suppress fighting back against his lies and ineptitude.

First, your preemptively accuse someone of something. Second you do awful things that would normally rightfully get a response, but the authorities have to be careful otherwise you’ll accuse them of doing the thing they should be doing. Third, you get your way even though you broke the rules, or you get to yell about how you knew, just knew! That you’d be treated badly.

Yet another map of the US with nearly the same distribution of different groups. The anti-American band of states from Florida to Idaho strikes again.

The first non-horse trolleys were electric in… 1910’s?

I think they were trying to say all battery driven. The vast majority of electric trains use overhead wires, and I believe some have batteries for switching and if there’s an outage. This gadgetbahn is wholly battery based, so I can only imagine how heavy it is just to move itself.

I still use wired headphones and earbuds. On the phone it’s got a USBC connector, so I had to find a compact adapter. Fortunately USBC is a tough connector so they’re holding up well enough.

The earbuds themselves are very cheap. They normally only last a few years (3-5 or so). I snagged a couple little zip up pods that hold earbuds from a job fair years ago. As long as I do a quick coil up, it’s easy enough to pack them away and get them out without tangling. They also don’t get hurt living in my satchel.

I’ve considered moving to something wireless, but I have enough battery driven devices to babysit already.

He goes to this, but writes to get out of attending criminal case sessions? He does this mostly because he hates losing to women and he likes fucking up NYC traffic with his motorcade shit.

My feeling was that President Obama kept compromising. It seemed that he was trying to get people moving together and he went too far into the appeasement side of things with the alt right racist arm. It was also the real power growth cycle for Fox News and early online podcast/streamers. They are fast on the backs of the racist counter swell… And we got the fallout over the last decade now.

Cool, but we also take Finland’s law about tuition: it’s illegal to charge it.

No private schools. It’s done wonders for their society because the rich people invest in the same schools as everyone else.
