This was not a typical bankruptcy auction, and part of the trustee’s role was to ensure an outcome that was acceptable to those injured by Jones, eg the Sandy Hook families.

No, not really.

Cool that a member of the zeitgang is writing for Jacobin.

If you read the article, the alleged victim says she went to the VMAs without a ticket and started asking limo drivers if she could get into an afterparty. Diddy’s driver said she looked like what Diddy wanted.

It’s not even apathy for a lot of people. It’s jubilation that someone whose wealth directly came from making others’ lives shorter and more miserable got his life shortened.

“Don’t need to use that kind of language? Be glad I’m using my words at all you miserable sack of shit!”

“Oops, now I read and write Hungarian. Can’t pronounce it for shit, though.”

Man, if only a candidate being a moron who kept embarrassing themselves was disqualifying in the USA.

I’m sure she’s far from perfect but so far I really like this new Mexican president.

There is a link between tariffs and food prices, the vast majority of American agriculture is mechanized and the machines and their parts are mostly manufactured overseas. As are the trucks that account for a huge percentage of the distribution network.

Today in “DUH”

Okay, I thought maybe I was taking crazy pills. The western media sure does love gaslighting us.

The description of events in this article does not match what I’ve seen reported elsewhere-that the Maccabi Tel Aviv fans were the aggressors.

I feel like every member of HHS and other agencies should agree to just scream “GET FUCKED, BRAIN WORM” any time he says anything until they are fired or he quits.

I would argue that if you recognize you lack the knowledge to form an opinion, you’re doing better than 90% of people online.

This is insane. When exactly is a permissible age for kids to be walking about on their own?

In Georgia, probably 30.

People who were already poor would remain so. Most people who aren’t wealthy can’t afford to own acres of land that doesn’t produce crops. If leaves suddenly became money, that would not change the fundamental needs people have of food and shelter. So you’d have the wealthy with vast swathes of forest that would slowly die as they carted out a lot of compost for use in markets, and people who live in apartments or other rental situations would never see a leaf on the ground again. You might see suburban homeowners get really good about caring for their trees and planting more, so that’s one possible benefit but overall this would be a nightmare.

There are old methods of getting lumber from trees by cutting them short and letting the limbs grow back. The Japanese “daisugi” and European “copsing” are two different styles of the same idea. The fact that we don’t see those done much in the modern era makes me think that the industrial-capitalist mind would not comprehend the idea of waiting for leaves to fall.

At least they’re actually arresting them ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Do you have any insight into getting Linux to play nice with the different components of fusion drives? I have an old iMac and Mac mini both with Fusion Drive and after installing fedora or Ubuntu the SSD is seen and mounts fine but while the HDD is seen it doesn’t mount at startup despite setting it to mount at startup. I’d like to use these machines for some archiving and media hosting but that’s difficult if I can’t reliably access the much higher capacity drives.
