6 Years Later: Why I Still #WalkAway From the Democrat Party
— Brandon Straka #WalkAway (@BrandonStraka) August 16, 2024
On May 26, 2018, Brandon Straka shared a video about why he was walking away from the Democrat Party. That video went viral and launched the #WalkAway Campaign, a movement that led to hundreds of thousands of people… pic.twitter.com/R4Q9Ivbiv7
I changed my hostname. Upon reboot, neither Brave or Chrome will open. There is no obvious change to my /home directory. Any ideas?
[Update a while later]
After browsing on my laptop, I found the problem (that others have had). After deleting the lockfile in my .config directory that was pointing to the old hostname, they fired right up (Brave uses the Chrome codebase).
How it will go:
People need to stop overreacting about Kamala’s plan to reduce food inflation, as if it would lead to communism, mass starvation, and the end of America.

I worked in M&A in the food industry. Here’s a step-by-step summary of what would actually happen:

[Sunday-morning update]
Harris’s Kamunist agenda faces a harsh reality.
She’s a red-diaper baby who learned “economics” at her Marxist father’s knee.
Did they suborn perjury to get Trump?
It would hardly be shocking news, if true.
It may have spurred women to seek out gynecological health.
But I’m not sure I agree with this: “In the film’s final scene, after deciding to leave Barbieland for the real world, Barbie enthusiastically tells a receptionist, “I’m here to see my gynecologist,” a joke that could be based either on her supposed lack of genitals or her evident excitement for care many women find unpleasant.” Sénéchal and colleagues write in their paper.
I finally saw the flick on the plane to Miami last week, and that wasn’t my interpretation (spoiler alert). She had just talked to her creator, who told her that she could live in the real world if she wished to. I took her visit to the gyno to mean that, like Pinocchio, she had finally become a real woman. FWIW, I did find the movie an interesting commentary on gender and new-wave feminism and the modern relationship between American (or western) men and women.
The Webb telescope may have solved it.
I think it was actually more interesting when it was a clear disparity, because that might have been an opportunity to learn some new physics (and new physics will be required if we’re to venture beyond the solar system).
So much for “experts” on the American presidents.
One of the things that I find infuriating is the worship of bill passing, as though the only job of presidents and Congresses is to pass bills, completely ignoring whether or not the legislation is good, or terrible. Biden’s touted “accomplishments” are the passage of disastrous legislation (when it’s not unconsitutionally ignoring Congress altogether to do terrible things).
I like the Star Trek reference. And the Ukrainian tank playing rap.
The Democrat convention in Chicago is going to be lit. Probably literally. They’ll be partying like it’s 1968, except without Richard Daley.
I really, really wish that I found this impossible to believe.
But given their behavior toward both Israel and Iran, I don’t.
