Inasmuch as Delicate Feelings Donnie immediately hit back with calling the majority justices “fools and dogs” and swearing he was going to find another way to do it regardless, it’s clear he personally sees it as a major blow.

But yes, overall, in terms of popularity they removed another rotting albatross from around his neck, unfortunately.

The dissenters were Kavanaugh, Alito, and Thomas.

Seems like that alone explains everything I’d ever need to know about the dissent.

I was reading the original discussion on dbzer0 and kept wondering what the removed by mod was under every comment agreeing with either partial ban or defed, so I looked at the modlog. It was literally the same pigshit picture posted over and over again, almost twenty times, by the same user, though fortunately I only had to see it once, by choice.

That’s a serious personal commitment to assholery right there, and this is apparently just one of the people coming over to do this on dbzer0 comms. To be honest I can’t claim to understand some of the political nuance that was coming up in the thread, but that one dude sure did make a strong argument for defed via the modlog, lol. If that’s an example of what dbzer0 has to put up with from multiple individual users of another instance, then considering defederation is absolutely a legitimate discussion to have.

One, holy shit. And that was over twenty years ago: there is zero possibility it’s gotten any better since.

Two, I love this woman’s blunt honesty. Her take on all of it is fantastic, especially how the “they’re missing something behind their eyes” was so accurate. It’s just horrible how she came to have that knowledge.

Three, read the transcript if you can’t sit still for the whole thing, but either way try to make it to the end. After she gets done with her own personal experiences, she’s all,

So anyways, fuck Harvard. Fuck these institutions. Fuck their respectability. They’re crucibles for rapists and pedophiles. And the most powerful people on earth are the scum of the fucking earth. And we need to take back our power from them.

But the difference is now you know exactly why she says that, and with the power and force of her entire being. Shit, I would too.

In short, Microsoft is now doing for ICE what they were doing for Israel in 2024-2025 to support the genocide:

‘A million calls an hour’: Israel relying on Microsoft cloud for expansive surveillance of Palestinians – The Guardian

Note: these are all Graun links because they are what I had in my browser history and because they specifically made a point of looking into it, as opposed to other major news outlets. I’m sure there are other sources as well, I just didn’t look for any.
