Python Crash Course by Eric Matthes is a supremely good book to start with for an absolute beginner, and I would recommend it over Automate the boring stuff (that would be a great followup though!).

It assumes absolutely no prior knowledge, explains concepts extremely clearly, never presents too much to overwhelm and frustrate beginners, and includes a good range of projects that should interest any perspective programmer.

You’re welcome! :D

Trump, picking a Fox news host to run the military

“How could this be any worse?”

That motherfucker: takes off shirt

Narrator: “It got worse.”

Having such a clear example from history of how these things play out might give us an advantage they didn’t have. I hope so, anyway.

I think XMPP would be the most appropriate tech for us to adopt, since it’s easily self-hostable, has great mobile apps, is federated, and doesn’t require an always connected bot to record chat history to know what was said while you were away. It’s functionally an improved IRC.

Have they tried raise VAT and kill all the poor?

Freetube for Android is available in the IzzyOnDroid repo for F-droid, but not the default F-droid repo, unfortunately. You may want to opt for a different solution, perhaps FluxTube… Though that is only on IzzyOnDroid too.

I looked into them a while ago, and from what I can find, they seem to be legit in that they really do use the profits for tree planting.

How that makes me feel:

To someone politically literate, that much is clear as day.

For the average person, they are easily tricked by false promises that the right will do the opposite. :(

Neoliberalism utterly failing to staunch the ransacking of the working class due to capitalism

”Why is the right gaining momentum???"

I’m not a mastodon user, so there’s likely more than that instance.

Smoothbore musket was the standard issue firearm during that period, with a smattering of rifled muzzleloaders as well.

Awesome! Glad to hear it ^^

Cheers for this, Mambabasa! I’ll be throwing these on my ereader! :D

Search your local area + the word ‘mutual aid’ and see if there are any groups near you. Also a good chance of meeting some at a local food not bombs event, or other volunteer work.

There’s an offshoot of libertarian socialists in the DSA, but those seem pretty spread out, not sure if you’ll find any locally. If you have few other options, you could try checking out a regular DSA meeting, but from what I’ve seen, a lot of those groups just do quarterly meetings and aren’t really that active in anything meaningful, and they tend to gather more social democrats than anything. Still, better than nothing, and you may be able to make some friends there that you can invite to local direct action things that you find other people participating in.

If you can’t find anything in your area, start your own! :)
