Have an offsite and cloud backups of that list. You don’t want to report that your list of missing items is the missing item.

Tracing out words from dirt/dust I think is fine… attaching a sticker, sure. Tagging with spray paint is bad taste imo.

My standards have to be applicable irrespective of what make somebody’s car is and what message is on there.

In other news, Lemmy stock mooned infinity% from 0.00 to 0.00 plus beans.

On Lemmy, two’s a crowd (or a flamewar).

Oh great I can copy that to my invitation list to Canada.

Oversight and balance of power is for Democrats, silly!

While the administration works to achieve this goal at NIH, a smart, targeted approach is needed in order to not hinder life-saving, groundbreaking research at high-achieving institutions like those in Alabama.

Fine, but if I hear one word of eliminating anything “woke”, “DEI” or the latest conservative dogwhistle from your mouth, you had better explain what will be smart and targeted about that.

Bingo. It ultimately won’t stop him, but every act of resistance will slow him down, and every act of submission will speed him up. Choose to resist.

just how destructive Elon Musk’s incursion into the U.S. government is be.

The first thing she said is to take a breather. If you’re unfocused, tired and afraid you can’t do anything.

The second thing is to learn, educate yourself, figure out that Trump, Musk and billionaires are not stirring up chaos and havoc just because they feel like it. If these were 100 unconnected random actions, tackling them feels impossible. Once you understand that it’s all around the theme of Musk, Trump, media-owning billionaires want maximum money and minimum accountability, their actions simply fit within that and a strategy to tackle it is easier.

Third is to “lock in”, focus your energy on what you can do, big or small. Even if you are too afraid to talk to another soul, knowing your rights is still action. Knowledge is power. Talking to your friends and family is action. Calling and writing to your legislators is action. Joining a protest/rally/meeting is action. Organizing, volunteering leading is action. The point is do it to what level you are capable at the moment. There are far more non-billionaires than billionaires. Every bit of action counts.

Last, make them abuse their power, do not just allow them to or assume they will. They are going to do horrifying things, you don’t have to submit to it in advance. You can slow it down.

The Post said the firings “appeared to violate federal law, which requires Congress to receive 30 days’ notice of any intent to fire the inspectors general.”

Well, it’s a good thing the Supreme Court gave Trump carte blanche to violate federal law.

Changing the system from the inside is one piece of the puzzle, that on it’s own can have limited effectiveness.

Protests and occupations, sometimes in the form of rowdy riots are an important factor of how Dutch people got their bike lanes. The 70s oil shock pushed the government to the goal, but they might have just stayed the course towards building cities for cars instead of people, if there were no protests.

You need a bit of both. Like protests groups disrupting the Davos meetings, and other young representatives participating in the same meetings.
