Here in Chile we used to call fascists «chupa picos» (“cock suckers”), until people realised that’s there’s nothing wrong with sucking dick, so people started calling them «chupa lumas» (“baton suckers”), which is more hilarious in my opinion.
If you ever need to insult a fascist, call them «fasho culiao chupa lumas!» (“you fucking baton sucking fash!”) :3

Abstract (US) political commentary 
@cjd here in norcal, where one of the "two entrenched parties" has basically died, it's been interesting watching the system try to roll back the two-party system... we finally had our first senate election recently where the election was between the two most popular candidates (both blue, of course), and i'm cautiously optimistic that this shows the way out

Cool new tool!
i have these thoughts sometimes too, about twitter, which i left a decade ago
we really need a new browser project, written from scratch in something modern (rust, not c++), and unencumbered by whatever the hell has been happening to mozilla over the last decade

"....in my humble but correct opinion, Mozilla should be doing two things and two things only:
1. Building THE reference implementation web browser, and

@mdszy i'm minorly infatuated with how it's a left-handed ruler
