Right, just got my COVID booster and seasonal flu vaccine. (The COVID one is free even if you’re not in the “high risk groups”.)

If you’re near Greystones, Robert at the Boots is the best; probably the gentlest I’ve ever been jabbed :)

Indeed, Democrats destroyed their largest national lobbying and GOTV operation, ACORN, in response to fake scandals created by known fraud James O'Keefe.

Since then, Democrats have largely abandoned certain states to Republicans, with Florida being one of the more recent examples.

Wisconsin only just rejected -- through the courts, not voting -- its extreme GOP gerrymander after 10 years of Republican dominance in which legislative elections were essentially irrelevant to the outcome.

@davidculley Fun times! *sigh*

Some Einstein actually called the Just Stop Oil activists in that other thread “tree huggers.”

Fam, I guess that makes you a tree ‘cos they’re trying to save your daft butt along with everyone else’s.

*smh*

@jonpaul It’s never the right place/time/way to protest, is it? Always so damn inconvenient.

@scott You and I both, Scott. You and I both :)

@clintruin @FatherEnoch @annaecook Aral, please… Mr. Balkan is my dad ;P

@ichbindabomb Da-yum! :)

@rogue_corq Congratulations, I guess.

@jwildeboer Very interested in seeing where you take this.

So I’ve been experimenting with LoRa and meshtastic. https://meshtastic.org and I have some ideas on how to use it as a neighbourhood sensor and chat network. Inline with my thoughts on decentralising (power) grids. But also for generic neighbourhood chats that by definition stay local. Lots of opportunities to explore. Next: a cheap, solar powered Meshtastic node that you can just throw in trees etc. LoRAnarchy ;)

@4Score You may go away now.

@Jogarr You know what, dude… how about you do something yourself instead of shitting on people who are? Ffs!

@jaycee @lyndamerry484 @seb321 Starmer? Not a socialist? Egads! Say it ain’t so!

@unchartedworlds @sarajw They didn’t damage the painting itself, no.

@gerrymcgovern @ohmrun But sure, yes, let’s privatise all healthcare and all other social infrastructure too while we’re at it… what’s the worst that could happen? Surely billionaires got our backs, right?

1984? Brave New World? Don’t flatter yourselves. The game Lemmings is about as deep as you need to get to explain the existential shithole we’ve dug ourselves into.

@IndyMediaAus Now do climate change.

@rejzor Don’t worry about it, clearly it’s all a bit too complicated for you to understand.
