I see what you're saying, but it sounds a little like "no true Scotsman", too. I guess Occupy probably did this better, but I'm not sure it helped enough.

This is really part of it, but it's not included explicitly in that article like it should be.

Other activists, faith-based leaders and consumers already are organizing boycotts to protest companies that have scaled back their diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, and to oppose President Donald Trump’s moves to abolish all federal DEI programs and policies.

Lots of naysayers trying to convince everyone not to participate, or to fragment efforts with competing ideas.

So much of our consumer culture is buying shit we don't need like impulse buys and stupid movies and fast food. That's profitable stuff, and skipping that for one day doesn't mean you'll just buy it the next day.

Maybe make a trivial amount of effort to find those details yourself.

It's a response to the active class warfare happening, including the anti-DEI efforts.

Targeted boycotts aren't enough anymore. Too many major corporations, often without adequate competition, are working against us.

It probably should've been dolphins, just as a nod to H²G², but also because I'm not sure the scale of that Klingon BOP ever read as big enough for two whales to me.

But, some possible suspects: whales (maybe they are superintelligent, pan-dimensional beings and the business with the krill and the singing is just a front), whale keepers or collectors (maybe they've stocked Earth with an important livestock that they want to protect from the apes, or see TNG S3E22 "The Most Toys"), whale descendants (see VOY S3E23 "Distant Origins"), or a species that has determined that loss of the whales indicates humanity has become irredeemable (or a corrupted timeline).

The NexDock works, too.

Please, no. We don't need more myopia from politicians.

With no taxes on tips (if it actually happens), expect a HUGE increase in tip expectations.

WinGet, choco, scoop, &c, they all have strengths and weaknesses, which is why I had to write this: https://github.com/brianary/scripts/blob/main/Update-Everything.ps1

It's also why I use Linux at home.

Do they mean "buying" instead of "owning"?

I'm just worried about another No Labels situation.

Who is funding this?
