Worsening standard of living as a result of 40 years of cuts to social services as neoliberal economic policy seeks to manage the contradictions of capitalism in the u.s. Basically the u.s. deindustrialized itself at the hands of monopoly capitalists which savaged the working class.

Tl;Dr class war

Racists having a laugh

A+ meme, and also I’m in fact looking for sincere ideas/resources for how to be a parent trying to raise little comrades. Anybody got anything that comes to mind?

Yep, that’s what I meant and am curious about.

I predict that the clowns running US foreign policy aren’t going to get over it.

And the reports of Russia using cluster bombs come from bellingcat and HRW.

Worker Coops are good. A far more just organizational structure than private ownership. Some would offer them as a complete solution to the systemic political economic problems of capitalism. I think this is misguided as changing incorporation structures ad hoc does nothing to address the complete control capital has over politics, and thus as a revolutionary theory is inadequate and possibly dangerous.

Tl;Dr: critical support

Happy birthday, comrade. I hope you enjoy your bday and get to spend it doing things you like, with those you like and love.

u.s. is still the most likely to have blown up Nordstream.

They also still say nordstream was blown up by anyone but the u.s. and that epstein killed himself

I’ve been trying helix and the built in LSP integration is excellent. Out of the box it’s capable of a lot when paired up with a good language server. The equivalent LSP integration on neovim takes some fat plugins.

I will say helix seems immature in a few areas. I noticed it’s missing tab layouts present in vim. Also might it not be impossible to resize splits? There’s also no linewise selection mode.

Helix out of the boz is close to my 15 years of accumulated vim config, but it seems like it’s not quite there yet.

I recommend naked capitalism and wall street on parade for finance and economic news which is critical of bourgeois capitalism.

becoming a parent soon… man, what am I in for

dang that’s a lot of living for 48 hours

This is cool. I also read China is coming up with interesting designs for winter greenhouses which maintain above freezing temps using only solar radiation and in some pretty far northern latitudes https://www.motherearthnews.com/organic-gardening/chinese-greenhouses-for-winter-gardening-zm0z17amzmul/

I’ve made this one before and can vouch for it being excellent https://www.seriouseats.com/french-onion-soup-recipe

archive.is appears to be busted.

I applaud comrades for sharing archive links, but I wish they would also include the original URL.

“Blinken huffed his own farts for 3 hours or more, while Xi scrolled til tok and at one point appeared to have a separate meeting in the presence of Blinken, who did not appear to notice”.

But seriously, wtf is the point of Blinken wasting a trip for the same old tropes and denials? Just to reinflate some anti china talking points for a few days?

Domestic tasks like cooking, washing dishes, folding laundry. It’s something real I can do to make me and my partner’s lives keep going smooth, plus they’re great opportunities for either podcasts or mindfulness.
