It's been raining a lot here the last few days. I pulled over and took this picture of a fairy ring in my town

guessing nobody read the bottom part

My professor just said there’s nothing inherently evil about capitalism exploiting foreign markets where they can find cheaper unregulated labor. wooo boy this class is going to be a shit show

Eat the Rich if you can, tax them if you can’t eat them.

BOOST TO RAISE AWARENESS THAT A NATIONAL PRISON SLAVE LABOR STRIKE IS STARTING TODAY, SOLIDARITY WITH OUR EXPLOITED COMRADES IN PRISON FOR CRIMES AGAINST PROPERTY

About a year after Durham NC protestors took down the confederate statue at the old courthouse, UNC-Chapel Hill protestors have done the same with the confederate statue on campus. (I love the slogan on the hat the protestors stuck on the statue afterward: "Do it like Durham", though that's obviously not the most important bit.)

So pleased that Silent Sam has finally been toppled!

I, for one, am really fucking tired of the monetization of everything.

«Computing history shows us that the “computer revolution” was never really meant to be a revolution in any social or political sense. People who were not seen as worthy of wielding power were deliberately excluded, even when they had the required technical skills. To a great extent, that process continues today. Now, as then, hierarchies are constructed through high tech to preserve powerful social and political structures.»

(from "How to Kill Your Tech Industry" by Marie Hick)

I'm still amazed by the state of that industry. Why paying for an eBook for nearly the same price as a printed book gives you a file you don't own and you can't use, while piracy gives you a file you can use like an actual book?

When buying a book, I can read it where I want, in as many places I want, on as many couches I want, and I can even lend it to a friend. And that's legal.

Wasn't technology supposed to make the future better?
