"Real talk: Daniel Rubin has a great little piece up wherein he chats with The Field Negro, the Philly-based blogger who sharply ponders all things black on a daily basis. (Seriously, if you’ve never checked in with TFN, you should: Its author, Wayne Bennett, is a fantastic read who can cut through bullshit like a hot knife through butter, which is a far grosser analogy than I wanted to make, but there you have it.)"

"To white people, Bennett's musings are like kitchen-table talk from a kitchen they may otherwise never set foot in. To African Americans, he is part of a growing army of black Internet amateurs who have taken up the work once reserved for ministers and professional activists: the work of setting a black agenda, shaping black opinion and calling attention to the state of the nation's racial affairs."

"That's why I love the blog "Field Negro" so much. Field, as he's known to his fans, has the sense of reality that it takes to call out the (CowPuckey) of blame beating by those who are in positions of power and their lackeys. Because of his handle and his unabashed way of writing about racial issues, Field is often cited as a "Black blogger." What he is, however, is a first-class detector of blame deflection and an excellent student of history. If you want to write about the past and future of repression there's really no other perspective to take - which is why everyone should read Field."

Wouldn't it be cool if this was safe to do again? I remember wondering after my stroke if I would ever see another rock concert. It took years of work on my recovery, but I have indeed seen three shows since 2008.
Now? All of my favorite musicians are tentatively scheduling tours for late this year and early next year, but it's starting to look iffy whether they'll be able to get back on the road and make a living again.

I assume you are not talking about legal restrictions here. These are manufacturer-imposed restrictions. For example, John Deere refusing to give regular joes the information they need to do repairs themselves, or voiding their equipment warranties if there is evidence unauthorized personnel did a repair.
Similar situations exist with electronics manufacturers. In particular, Apple with its iPhones. There are "right to repair" campaigns to induce manufacturers not to punish people for attempting to fix the more basic problems themselves, as well as to pressure the manufacturers to design their products so that the high-failure-rate parts can easily be swapped out. Again, an example of bad practice is that you have to take apart an iPhone just to change the battery.

So it's August. When is Fergus going to be reinstated?

Hey, look! BLACKS are beginning to see integration as a failure:
https://thosewhocansee.blogspot.com/2021/07/the-black-call-for-separation.html
Now watch it backfire as White people say the same thing.
“So it's August. When is Fergus going to be reinstated?”
I’m sure that an announcement is imminent, which will say the date of his reinstatement has been moved back, but don’t worry, it’s still happening. The evil pedo Demon-crats will be frog-marched out of the Capitol and Trump’s glorious restoration will be at hand. Just be patient. It’s coming. Any day now. You’ll see. But also, please send money to help the cause.
And the Trump chumps will swallow this garbage like they do all of the other pro-Trump lies. They will swallow postponement after postponement, because it they are too deeply invested now, and don’t want to admit they got conned. This is how cults work.
Kinda Harold Camping-y. Perhaps we can hope for a similar outcome.

“Only vaxxed could attend, pretty discriminatory practice, I guess the USA is going back to white and coloured sections......”
Except that discrimination isn’t categorically unfair. Only discrimination based on irrelevant, superficial characteristics that have no effect on anyone else, like skin color, is unfair.
Being an asshole who refuses to get vaccinated, and thereby harms others, isn’t a superficial characteristic. It is a consequential characteristic. And it is entirely within your control. You can choose NOT to be an asshole, and thereby escape that discrimination.
Sorry, not seeing any injustice here.

Pro-Trump Social Network Becomes Safe Haven for ISIS

“Just weeks after its launch, the pro-Trump social network GETTR is inundated with terrorist propaganda spread by supporters of Islamic State,” Politico reports.
“The rapid proliferation of such material is placing GETTR in the awkward position of providing a safe haven for jihadi extremists online as it attempts to establish itself as a free speech MAGA-alternative to sites like Facebook and Twitter.”

Huh. Sounds like those events of January 6th at the Capitol must gave been pretty traumatic.
But I was told (by wingnuts) that it was just tourists getting selfies. They swore up and down that it wasn’t violent rioters trying to overthrow the government because Trump told them to.
These cops remind me of soldiers coming home after Vietnam debacle ended. being totally disrespected by the people who sent them into harm's way.

Andrew Cuomo asked Tish James to look into the allegations of sexual harassment against him. It didn't go well.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo sexually harassed multiple women, including employees in his office, and violated state and federal laws, according to the findings of an investigation by the state's attorney general's office. The investigation found that Cuomo sexually harassed 11 women current and former state employees -- one of whom is a New York State Trooper. It also found the governor and his team retaliated against a former employee for coming forward.
Guys like him don't respect or acknowledge the humanity of the women around them. They believe them to there for their amusement, and that they should share in said amusement.
Since he's a Democrat, he might actually not get reelected.
-Doug in Sugar Pine
“Since he's a Democrat, he might actually not get reelected.”
One political analyst argued that he might still have a good chance of getting reelected.
NY City has ranked-choice-style primaries, but if I understood the analyst correctly, NY state does not. There is a high likelihood that Cuomo will face a large number of primary challengers, who could then split the anti-Cuomo vote, leaving Cuomo with the largest vote total.
Having gotten renominated, it is then probable that Cuomo would win the general election, because New York is such a liberal state, and the GOP has gone so batshit insane in the post-Trump era, that NY voters would rather have a perv for their governor than a Republi-Nazi.
These are strange times.

POLICE OFFICER IDENTIFIED AS THE OFFICER WHO SHOT AND KILLED UNARMED NAVY VET ASHLI BABBITT - U.S. Capitol Police Lt. Michael Leroy Byrd, a black Capitol police officer who is on videotape literally shooting an unarmed WHITE woman named Ashli Babbitt, left his loaded weapon unattended in Capitol bathroom, again after experiencing explosive diarrhea - Latest incident recalls rash of similar ones in 2015
Didn't shoot her ass in the back and she was well warned before becoming a dead dumb fuck. No sorrow for such stoopid fucking morons. Including those who refuse life saving vaccines and die horrible deaths.
The CDC has issued a new limited moratorium on evictions in the wake of the old one expiring Saturday and the rat bastards on the supreme court ruling that it could not be extended.
The new one lasts until October, and the hope is that by then the $46 billion in rental assistance authorized by congress but still unspent can be allocated to actually fix the damn problem instead of merely extending the pain for landlords caught in the teeth of the pandemic.
-Doug in Sugar Pine
“The new one lasts until October …”
Or until the Supreme Court decides the new executive branch moratorium is unconstitutional.
Congressional Democrats need to sit down and pass their own legislative moratorium, if they want one SCOTUS won’t shoot down.

She was warned several times not to enter AND she clearly was warned the officer had a gun pointed at her. No reasonable person would have continued their actions under such circumstances. Had she just complied with the officers........In reality so many more rioters were more worthy of being shot, let's start with confederate flag guy.
Black cop could have and should have emptied his service weapon in dumb bitch's head, reloaded and shot her some more to make sure she couldn't testify against him in court.
Notice how magats hate when their white privilege doesn't prevent them from getting holes in their brainlesss craniums?
Shooting unarmed Blacks is great fun. not so much when the tables are turned.
So Missouri’s governor pardoned the McCloskeys. I’m sure they will get their guns back forthwith.
And now we’ll see whether Mark McCloskey can win a US Senate seat, running on a platform of: “I pointed a gun at some nigg— I mean, radical anti-American cultural Marxists!”
In other wild news, legislators in Nassau County on Long Island have passed an unconstitutional law banning people from saying mean things about cops.

Propaganda piece. Fake news. he died of pneumonia and other co-morbidities. H1N1 flu and pneumonia death are reclassified as covid 19 to fuel the scamdemic.
The magat talking about Apley's deserved demise lied about drumpf still being potus, too.
The dumbfucking corpse died of a disease a vaccination or two likely would have saved him from. Hope he cries in front of Satan who is in control of his miserable deluded soul.

Not only is that pure bullshit, the opposite is true. A county coroner in Missouri has been leaving covid off of death certificates at the behest of wingnut families. How many other Pig People have gotten their lies into the official record? Hard to say, but estimates put the actual US death count from covid at closer to 900K than the official 615K.

A pair of MAGA moron lawyers have been ordered to pay all of their defendants' legal fees for bringing bogus lawsuits over the not stolen election.
From Steve Benen:
The lawyers in question -- Gary D. Fielder and Ernest John Walker -- alleged a bizarre plot in their lawsuit, involving election officials, Facebook, and Dominion Voting Systems, among others.
"In short, this was no slip-and-fall at the local grocery store," judge Neureiter wrote. "Albeit disorganized and fantastical, the Complaint's allegations are extraordinarily serious and, if accepted as true by large numbers of people, are the stuff of which violent insurrections are made."
-Doug in Sugar Pine
“A pair of MAGA moron lawyers have been ordered to pay all of their defendants' legal fees for bringing bogus lawsuits over the not stolen election.”
Not good enough. Bar association should get involved.
If you use your law degree to attack the rule of law, by bringing lawsuits you know have absolutely no merit, you should lose your license to practice. You have no business being in a courtroom, except as a defendant.
"Hard to say, but estimates put the actual US death count from covid at closer to 900K than the official 615K."
