Watching ’Buffy’ made me realise the awesome music that came out in the late 90’s. Among this gem is ”I want to kill you” by Darling Violetta made for ”Vampire the masquerade”. I must have played this song a thousand times at least. Always thinking my darling malkavian character Rita Ullman loved the song, and imagining the camarilla court dancing to it.

sorry to see that, you'll be missed. But I totally understand, that blog post could be mine if it were changed from Fediverse to Diaspora. There are many good folks out there, but the toxic ones can really ruin it. The final straw for me was sharing a recipe I tried and then I started getting abusive messages about the errors on the recipe page (wasn't my page, just wanted to share a lovely recipe).

As punishment for his multitude of sins as the president's personal attorney, Donald McGahn has been sentenced to the Wearing of the White Shoes, threatening people on behalf of the clients of corporate law powerhouse Jones Day.

Dina Powell's back at Goldman Sachs and Fiona Hill's back is nestled snug at the Brookings Institute.

And lest we forget, the lying garbage-person Sean Spicer is a fellow at Harvard, and used his clout to blackball the truth-telling hero Chelsea Manning.

It's not grocery stores but when I see tourists coming out of Primark with already junky-looking, overstuffed shopping bags of barely functional, near-slave-made clothing, I imagine them proceeding to the next dumpster and throwing them in directly before ever wearing them, thereby reaching the ultimate stage of "fast fashion".

If you think "It's not censorship unless the government does it," I want to change your mind.

It's absolutely true that the First Amendment only prohibits government action to suppress speech based on its content, but the First Amendment is not the last word on censorship.

When the government censors, it's "unconstitutional censorship," but there are other forms of censorship that have always been with us and that we should all be concerned about.

When it comes to communications tech, competition policy is speech policy.

Stevie-O mastodon (AP)
when government uses a medium such as Twitter or Facebook in an official capacity, it results in a direct censorship. It marginalises and silences those who do not have access. Those who are silenced are removed from receiving and responding to government communications.

In Canada, specifically in Nova Scotia last year, updates on an active shooter were sent out from the RCMP via twitter some 12 hours before any other medium, including emergency alerts via cell service.

> [4-term Democrat Alabama governor George]‌ Wallace opposed desegregation and supported the policies of "Jim Crow" during the Civil Rights Movement, declaring in his 1963 inaugural address that he stood for "segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever".
‌https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Wallace

I'm really catching up on how bad the US has been after the abolitionists supposedly won the war.

Looked him up because he was mentioned in https://www.counterpunch.org/2021/01/20/the-nazification-of-the-republican-party/ and I didn't know who he was.

/via https://diasporing.ch/posts/65c50c003dd601391248722ef41c0a88 @tomgrz

The quote is "Then-President Lyndon Johnson predicted that most white people would flee the Democratic Party to join the pro-segregationist, anti-feminist, and anti-gay revanchist political movement of George Wallace, Richard Nixon, and Ronald Reagan." and even though Wallace was a democrat the idea is that his agenda of racist ideas was so successful and threatening to the Republicans that they picked it up as their Southern Strategy.
