I recently learned that when you buy a $5 box of #GirlScout cookies, less than $1 actually goes to the girls' scout troop. So if you are buying the #cookeis because you like them, great. If you are doing it only to help the girls, give them a #cash #donation instead, it's 5 times more powerful.

Oh and apparently they aren't supposed to tell people this because reasons.

The quotation reads... "This wall is respectfully dedicated to the heroism of the Resistance fighters, past, present and future."

The same dedication I placed at the beginning of the original miniseries V.

Arnaud Bertrand on X: "The story around #China issuing USD-denominated sovereign bonds in Saudi Arabia is generating an enormous amount of buzz in China, and could potentially be immensely important. I strongly suspect it's a message to the upcoming Trump administration. Let me explain what seems to" / X

What's the deal with Chat Apps?

Maybe I'm just #old but I don't understand the strong preference for a host of different platforms like #Discord/#matrix/#slack/#telegram... They seem little different than the 90s chatrooms I grew up with, but so many people see them as an absolute necessity for modern #communication including a replacement for #email. Can someone please enlighten me?

Some day I will make it Note -

A Century of Immigration-Control Failure – The Future of Freedom Foundation

https://www.fff.org/2024/06/05/a-century-of-immigration-control-failure/

Why hasn't anyone fixed the immigration control system?

>The answer is: Because the system isn’t broken. Instead, it is inherently defective. Something that is inherently defective can’t be fixed.

Why Trump is going to the Libertarian Party convention

"Libertarians [are]...starkly at odds with MAGA Republicanism in a number of ways. Trump is an economic protectionist who loves tariffs and who has expressed limited interest in cutting government programs like Medicare and Social Security. He wants to deport immigrants en masse, not let them into the country. He is fervently devoted to an authoritarian theory of governance"
