It's times like these where you're reminded that Linus is awesome.

In Europe, Linus is probably right of centre. Just let anyone do whatever except walk around with a gazillion firearms because that’s just insane.

The Right doesn't care what people actually believe.

They happily quote MLK on a daily basis.

Ray Bradbury was always anti-fascist, but he called out President Obama because there were no space missions during the Obama terms. After Bradbury died the Right tried to cherry pick quote to make him look like a life long Republican.

Well. He's gotten better.

I think he really struggled understanding that he was seen as a leader, and that people were modelling his behavior because he was setting the standard. Once he realized that, his criticisms became more... measured.

Unfortunately, it's true: Linux is woke. And DEI. And gay.

We need to get Elon Musk and the DOGE team on this, stat!
