Tried to help Blemmy have a swell time, but I guess I blew a little too hard and got all that blowback instead! Time to try again!

...

...no, I'm not gonna deflate myself before I try again, why do you ask? :kay_blush:

Hear, hear. Exactly; it's a link tax. And financially, it makes no sense to pretty much *anyone*, so the companies choosing not to pay to link was both predictable, and in fact predicted by many, many people - pretty much everyone except members of the Canadian #dinosaur #media, #politicians, and anti-capitalism #zealots.

I think I'm more shocked at the blowback than anything else! Usually I can blow them up just fine! My breath somehow keeps balloons stretchy as I blow them up! ... Can't tell if I hope a second blow into it'll blowback for more air or not >////>

Cute piece from @Sqrl who is very awesome and you should give a watch!!

“Whether you work in the #UFO warehouse at #Area52 (S4) , are the surgeon who handles the #alien #autopsies, or are the designer of the amazing climate cleaning machine, if your work is #classified, you can’t blow the whistle on it for the public good and expect the law to work in your favor,”

🤔 …Bring the hearings on.

#Blowback : A Warning To Save #Democracy From the Next #Trump
by #MilesTaylor (former Chief Of Staff at The Dept of Homeland Security)

#NYT bestseller

Taylor speaks to #JonathanCapehart

'A second term of Trump would equal the #ThirdReich' said many including ex-Trump officials, etc.

#fascism #authoritarianism #trumpism

When more people SPEAK OUT it lowers the price of #dissent

I see Miles Taylor new book #Blowback is #1 NYTimes bestie
Homeland Security vet issues dire warning—
On offer to Republican primary voters is chance to turn on country and vote against continuing this experiment in self governance— this while the Florida Whale issues threats to DOJ, FBI and Courts—

Former Trump official warning us about how democracy can die. Quote:

The doomsday book almost fell into the hands of Christina Bobb, a Trump lawyer, election denier ...
“I have no doubt that she would have taken the doomsday book to Trump and said, ‘Wait a second, look at all of the classified emergency powers we could use to make sure that power is not transferred to Joe Biden.’ That’s pretty terrifying,” Taylor says.

"when applied to a large, resource-rich, technically proficient economy, after a period of shock and adjustments, sanctions are isomorphic to a strict policy of trade protection, industrial policy, and capital controls. These are policies that the Russian government could not plausibly have implemented, even in 2022, on its own initiative."

James K Galbraith at INET

#sudan: another #us #sanctions #blowback.

"...the regime of sanctions imposed on Sudan by the US and the punishments meted out to French bank BNP in 2014, had the effect of freezing out much Western investment. Russia filled the vacuum. Moscow started engaging with Sudan at the latest in 2017."

Edwards goes on: "...it was to a degree entirely predictable given extremely loose fiscal and monetary policy in an environment of supply constraints. But companies have also exploited the inflationary backdrop. Customers expect price rises because of what they see in the press about surging commodity prices. Companies have clearly ‘taken advantage’ of rising inflation expectations to put through rises well in excess of cost increases." Note media is complicit. #blowback #sanctions #classwar.

I’ve rarely read anything as foolish as this quote: ''For a [CIA] operation to last 25 years is not so bad. It fell apart. Every operation cannot go on forever.'' That “falling apart” gave us todays’s near-nuclear theocratic tyrants #blowback h/t @hamed

I don't care what #blowback I get for this, there are enough overdrive pedals already. Enough with the #overdrive #pedals. Make some crazy #reverb tanks or something.

#introduction pt 2

I watch a lot of #anime and getting into #film
Currently fawning over #lotgh #escaflowne and #chainsawman, and I think I might love the Coen Brothers

Sucker for anything #mecha #cyberpunk #horror or vaguely dystopian.

I always have headphones on and listen to too many podcasts. Huge fan of #friendsatthetable and learning a lot from #blowback

I'm also #nonbinary #queer and a leftist

Is the rise of #DeSantis our very own homegrown #blowback for the excesses of the #WarOnTerror? #gwot #uspol

Eyewitness account of @MansoorAdayfi@twitter.com: Ron DeSantis smiled & laughed while watching his torture at Guantanamo. The "human rights lawyer" used his position to help maximize impact of torture on detainees.
