I didn’t actually see it myself, but I heard a lot of people thought it looked AI at first and that it was genuine (alternate angles and stuff like you said). It’s good to check up on it (sounds like you actually put the effort in) so we can try to keep our facts straight, as hard as that is these days.

Do we know anything about why there was an announcement and then a reversal and everything?

Just FYI to people that you can get remanufactured ink cartridges for a fraction of the price (around half) of OEM. They are sometimes modified to contain more ink in the same body. The company I purchased from included a prepaid bag to send used cartridges back for reuse.

Also while I’m in PSA mode “REDUCE, REUSE, and then recycle”. Sometimes we skip over the first two steps since reducing is not marketable and reusing rarely is (although reusing printer cartridges appears to be a sustainable business).

I think that video was confirmed

Technically all of these responses are political. I think we know what OP meant though, and the discussion is all the better for it!

I know it’s not directly relevant to Congress, but the Minneapolis mayor outright said “I am not in favor of abolishing ICE” today.

Is that in reference to the 1930s etc?

This could work if you live in Venice or something, but i meant *taking* damnit

It’s good to have a critical understanding of RT’s viewpoints. In this case, like the other user said, it’s Trump driving his own wedge (per usual), so ofc RT will run an article on it.

I think they meant it in a friendly way, in this case. They should clarify though.

Under capitalism, kayaking the time to get to know your neighbors is revolutionary behavior. When things go sideways, the people in direct geographic proximity to you are going to be the ones in best position to support you (and one another). It’s best to start laying that groundwork asap.

Being involved in wider activism is also a grounding and fulfilling. You don’t need to join a revolutionary socialist party like PSL (but you can if you want to go hard), even joining a park cleanup day or something like that is a good place to be.

It helps to put in some extra shifts at the posting mines

I didn’t want a mod tag next to all of my posts, and Lemmy doesn’t let you disable it.

Yeah this isn’t my main account

Hey, haven’t used this account in a while, figured I got demodded, but if there’s a need I can fire it back up. I think the instance admins have things under control in general.

As long as it’s in the form of a question

Thought it would be helpful context but I couldn’t say much about it besides the fact that I’ve never heard of such a practice, myself

What part of the world are you from?
