Ildsaye [they/them]

With regard to flimsiness, M-disc Blurays and DVDs are capable of serious long-term storage, but they are very expensive. They require an M-disc-capable burner.

None of our individual strategies are “the answer”. The situation won’t be turned around by individuals making personal choices, but by organized efforts. A world in which Terms and Conditions don’t supersede your rights is possible.

Another factor is the tendency of the rate of profit to fall. Late capitalism has to keep finding more and more shameless ways to squeeze regular people as the easy money recedes. Lobbyists are pushing harder to lock people into a few big services and subscriptions so they are forced to yield more personal data and spending money.

In case anyone is curious, an M-Disk burner can make optical backups intended to last long-term. Can be costly though.

I rung in the new year by making the switch

Wile E. Coyote should be US president

He would just spend all his time pursuing the Roadrunner instead of doing imperialism. He would have all the resources of the military-industrial complex at his disposal to that end, but he would just keep crashing F-35s into cliffs and shit chasing the Roadrunner. And his vice president and cabinet would be no better - all hand-picked cronies from the Acme corporation’s revolving door with the government, only there to help President Coyote devise new contraptions to catch the Roadrunner with.

Attention, fame, encouragement, and engagement are also currency, and aiding fascists is fascism. We all deserve to live in a world where fascists don’t feel safe openly declaring themselves.

Desensitizing people to having no privacy from their own state and ‘local’ corporations will do that

There are also low grade threads/fabrics that consist of shorter individual fibers. They wear out faster.

with your support, Halloween can win the war on Christmas
let unlimited ghastly apparitions haunt the yuletide world
denying it the forgetting of its many crimes

“Never Forget”, at least not until the empire has cynically wrung the last bit of sympathetic credulity from the last oblivious grillman. 9/11s were never intended to appreciate in value; they are printed to be spent.
