fortunately Hardwick appears to be on some bizarre fast track to actually facing any consequences maybe so? at least there's that

Nerdist, AMC, and Comic Con have dropped him for now at least

@Unionhawk yay, i didn't hear about comic con

UNfortunately, due to the nature of the fanbase he has cultivated, it does feel like there's a slightly stronger "PROTECT AT ALL COSTS" squad than normal, but

they also don't run Nerdist AMC or Comic Con so

1:52 AM

man, I'm just trying to post a joke reply to a post about raw milk and all of sudden someone who unironically uses the word "progtard" shows up and likes it and i have to delete and repost it. this website sucks

OK I didn't see this one:

@quartata I mean remember when the entire WV legislature celebrated them passing a raw milk unban and then got sick the next day

because that was a thing that happened

thank you mr. giuliani this is much more clear

I think it was WV

@Unionhawk ahahahahahaha

it is allegedly inconclusive as to why, every lawmaker who all drank the same unpasteurized milk got sick at the same time

but like come on

Washington Post employees want to go on strike because Bezos isn’t paying them enough. I think a really long strike would be a great idea. Employees would get more money and we would get rid of Fake News for an extended period of time! Is @WaPo a registered lobbyist?

Microsoft @azure is "proud to support" the work of ICE. This quote is from a page that was created this year. To all the people lecturing me recently on having negative feelings about MS buying Github: y'all are ok with this? I'm not ok with this.

8:51 PM

@quartata as the replies point out, other terrible agencies are using oracle and aws so... yay google cloud?

sure why not

google cloud functions blows right now and the egress on google cloud storage is too expensive, but other than that it's good i guess

Mad Scientist

@quartata egress is always way too expensive, for all of the cloud providers

well of course that's how they get you

google cloud has better naming conventions and docs than aws, by far

i just mean more so

@GodEmperorDune They need to go somewhere though. If they self-host, they're just going to get DDOSed

@Nzall if we abolish ICE and prosecute those involved, they won’t need to worry about their website being DDOSed

@quartata What's the issue with Google Cloud Functions?

mostly just that it's Node only

@quartata good thing we have gitlab checks notes hosted on azure

Dammit now I'm going to have to advocate for using not azure for a work project

Which can probably be done, we've got an aws code jam this year so

you'd rather give Bezos your money

Hm

No ethical consumption

murgatroid99

So, your choices are to give your money to ICE supporters, Jeff Bezos, or me. That's how this works, right?

9:29 PM

I mean ultimately the idea that responsible consumption is even a thing is dubious anyway so

I know West Virginia is probably at best apathetic to the plight of immigrants in general but still feel like this is a pretty easy sell 🤷 Even if you're going to hop on the "deport them!" train, forcibly separating them first can't be framed as anything but cruel, so

We do not have a policy of separating families at the border. Period.

Uhhhhh soooo ???

Seems a bit late to try and say the thing we all have multiple photo and first hand account evidence of happening is, in fact, not happening

we don't have a policy to do this thing, we just are.

doing the thing

it also looks like they do, in fact, have such a policy

unless a DOJ (?) memo isn't policy

but uhh

Relatedly, the new radical ask is "disband the DHS, abolish ICE, roll the remaining arms of the department into State or Justice as best fit"

I mean you'd think either she's okay with it in which case it is definitely policy or she's not okay with it in which case she's just letting subordinates run amok playing concentration camp, and uhh neither of those is a good look

ToxicFrog

@Unionhawk I thought that was the moderate position and the radical one was "abolish ICE and DHS and send everyone in them to the Hague"

Well yes

Eliminate DHS is a fairly new idea I've seen floated

honestly the moderate position is "well we can't just abolish ICE be reasonable"

so

Only slightly related but I like how we have so many agencies and can't just agree on what the head of them is titled

lol what the hell DHS has its own band song?
