A quotation from Molly Ivins

Our politicians have truly made a pact with the Devil. One watches them spend more and more of their time and energy grubbing, coaxing, flattering, and whoring for money. Terrified of being cut off from the mother’s milk, they stand like morons in the rising sea of contempt that threatens to drown the whole system. Then they wonder why no one likes them anymore.

Molly Ivins (1944-2007) American writer, political columnist [Mary Tyler Ivins]
Essay (1998-01), “Introduction,” You Got to Dance with Them What Brung You (1998)

A quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt

I do not know Mr. Willkie, but the headline in one of the metropolitan papers yesterday said: “Willkie Aims At Unity, Defense and Recovery.” I’m discouraged. In Heaven’s name, will anyone aim at anything else?
Sometimes I wonder if we shall ever grow up in our politics and say definite things which mean something, or whether we shall always go on using generalities to which everyone can subscribe, and which mean very little.

Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962) First Lady of the US (1933-45), politician, diplomat, activist
Column (1940-07-01), “My Day”

Donate to EFF! They are the ACLU of the digital frontier.

If you don't think that tech billionaires should create an underclass of 6 billion people that are subjugated to their algorithms; negligence; complete lack of transparency; invasive surveillance; walled gardens; legally imposed technological barriers (DRM); dark patterns; and deceptive and misleading PR campaigns:

Donate to EFF now.

Racist policing?

“Police give Farage free pass over election overspend”

by Skwawkbox with The Canary

@thecanaryuk
@uk_politics

“#EssexPolice have given Reform UK leader Nigel Farage a free pass on his alleged #overspending in his #campaign in #Clacton in the 2024 general #election. No details have been released about the scale of the overspending. The police have declared that too much time has elapsed for the case to be pursued”

can some users with #economy #knowhow educate me on what this company is actually doing?

"#SevenHills builds #campaign for the #organizations and #leaders shaping the #future."

so they are basically a #propaganda machine?

#rome the capital of roman #empire of was build on #sevenhills .... guess that is where that comes from?

I archived 20 of 44 Pathfinder Adventure Paths. While good progress, the number is misleading as I did mostly later paths that are 3 parts. I do like the 3 part paths a lot, because they are much more likely to actually get finished.

Ones I plan to borrow from for my Outlaws of the North campaign: Council of Thieves, Outlaws of Alkenstar, Hell’s Rebels, Kingmaker.

A quotation from Molly Ivins

Our political system has been thoroughly corrupted, and by the usual suspect — money, what else? The corruption is open, obscene, and unmistakable. The way campaigns are financed is a system of legalized bribery. We have a government of special interests, by special interests, and for special interests. And that will not change until we change the way campaigns are financed.
