We must agree right now that theย Bill of Rightsย takes precedence over everything else and may not be suppressed by a pall ofย political correctnessย on campuses, in the media, in corporate life, or anywhere else. There is no right not to be offended by the free expression of others. Those of us who can afford it should sue those who try to deprive us of our freedom of speech.

Yo @Lordimpala when I was getting of age, Rolling Rock also came in "pony" bottles. They were returnable 7 once bottles. Never woke up the next morning with half full beers sitting around cuz they went in 2 gulps. Buy em by the case. Back in the days when it was still made at ole #33 in Latrobe. https://noagendasocial.com/media/GlsrRwAoGr5OMNbaE74
A puppy that was briefly ours (Cinnamon) has a rare birth defect that causes blood to bypass her liver. The good news is that she's a good candidate for a surgery that will very likely ensure she leads a normal life. However, the surgery is quite expensive at $5,000. Without the surgery, her prospects are grim.
A GoFundMe has been set up to help defray the costs of the surgery. Would appreciate karma and cash.
Yo @DaDenMan hope all's well by you. I'm way behind on your current toots, but will get caught up when I get home. Read this today about the state of readiness in Cali for legal #cannabis on 1/1/18.
With the devastating fires in NoCal, things are likely to become more convoluted in the upcoming months. For a state that was once at the forefront of the #cannabis movement, they sure have fucked the pooch.
Someday, podcasting (and independent web publishing in general) will be brought to heel. PBS and public access video studios (or some new parallel institution engineered by Elon!) will probably subsume podcasting, but no one will be left out because for the reasonable annual fee of $895 anyone will be welcome to submit their content to the Trust & Safety council for review, and possible censure, and the masses will clap *and* eat cake.
Yo @voidzero I extend a tip of the hat and a hearty thank you for all the efforts that lie behind the scene. You are a stellar example of all the things that make this community top of the charts. Way to go #mofo! ๐ฉ
Spent the whole night on the last steps of a big, YUGE, upgrade routine of the No Agenda servers.
FINALLY DONE!
This has been a behemoth of an upgrade routine. Took a LONG time to get it all done - two months! - because Funtoo changed to a different repository style. Required focus and naturally I wanted to be careful not to get any service disruption.
So the base systems are fully up to date now and this guy is gonna fetch some sleep! More later! Glad this part is done!
