Since it’s called the GNU Image Manipulation Program, why not pick up the extremely low hanging fruit and call it GNU Imp? It also comes with a free mascot.
Edit: And given that Wilber already has a cheeky smile and two horn-like ears, it wouldn’t even be that much of a new mascot either. I mean come on people, do I have to think of everything around here?
I’m an atheist and I know not to subsume all of Christianity under white evangelicalism.
But there are like a gajilion variants that tweak around the problem. Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of good, just pick any one, it’s going to be better than FPTP.
Just get proportional representation for fucks sake.
Are we getting Guelphs and Ghibellines? Definitely not on my bingo card for 2026.
I’m pretty sure the guy in the photo is Netanyahu, not Sanders. /s
That sounds like misinformation.
Quite a Protestant think to say, for a supposed Catholic.
Random guy on the internet claiming to debunk the WHO, various national health authorities, and every dentist I’ve ever talked to ever. Ok buddy.
Just to cover all the bases here: what’s your take on the mRNA COVID vaccines?
But it does have an effect on dental health! A positive one!
Historically speaking that’s a cartoonish thing to say: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Pius_XII_and_the_Holocaust
Apply the same standard to the enslavers that you guys call “founding fathers” any time a US politician makes some lofty speech.
Just like we need to talk on about non-market housing for the housing crisis, maybe we need to start talking about non-market employment (worker owned cooperatives).
Having read Naomi Klein’s Doppelganger, I think for the proto/pre-fascist antivax crowd that’s… acceptable, even desirable, because it means cleaning up the race from weak immune systems.
The lack of professionalism here is astounding. If you, Mr Popo think that that member of the public is doing something arrestable, you don’t get into a debate about “yaw kidz” and escalate a peaceful situation to a clusterfuck. Make the arrest in a professional way, and be done with it.

The Reconquista in Spain, yes. In the Levant/Outremer? That’s just not what happened.
PS. I know that in the US, (CW: Hegseth) the christian nationalists are using crusading iconography to promote their deranged fascist apocalypticism. They are instrumentalizing the past the way fascists always do. Knowing and insisting on the actual history is a kind of negation of that instrumentalization. Don’t be tempted to just mirror a reverted image of their anti-intellectualism back to them.
Yes, obviously there is no total order. There is a partial order though.
That’s why I prefaced my whole comment with «Side thing,…». I’m doing an «um ackchyually» about the history of the Crusades, nothing more.
There are better and worse democracies. Overall, democracy this decade is on the decline: https://www.v-dem.net/publications/democracy-reports/
