Welcome to the Hailstorm!

Hey! I'm Hailey and this is my blog! I'm a woman of trans experience in her 30s. I post on topics ranging from Trans issues, political posts, humor, random cuteness and occasional lingerie. Nothing too racy though. I have another blog for that kind of thing!

If we made a film like Austin Powers today, our character would have come from 1995 and would be called something like Danny Radical.

I believe everything should be offline, I believe that every time something that is not your internet browser (and I'm being generous here) should have a big red alert that says THIS PIECE OF SHIT PROGRAM NEEDS TO CONNECT TO THE INTERNET AND REQUESTS YOUR CONSENT TO DO THIS SPECIFIC THING, and you had to touch a big red button and it would disconnect as soon as you close it.

"oh you can't edit this document on your device :) you need to save it to the Google Panopticon first :)" "Adobe needs to update on the background sorry we'll just steal your RAM for a bit :) you don't need to notice don't open the task manager your so sexy ahaha" "Windows needs to be online to send everything you do... somewhere"

IN MY TIME Microsoft Word had to ask permission to even put an hyperlink, let alone fucking update in the background. Videogames had to BEG to connect to a LAN network, now Gabe Newell gives any dev the power to install whatever the fuck in my hard drive.

Computers used to know RESPECT, now they're all assholes who want access to your contact list.

My laptop installed Copilot without telling me. Apparently it was part of the latest windows update.

It's uninstalled now, but there's a word we used to use for programs that secretly installed themselves on your machine.

Malware.

Eider ducks sound as though you’ve just told them a very interesting fact or juicy gossip.

[kendrixtermina]

its like a real life version of that children’s song with the magic bridge that you had to dance across

[prismatic-bell]

Highlights: --all the old people --one dude who starts doing the Cotton-Eye Joe and has the steps on lock --quinceañera girl with a dress bigger than the circle --lots of kids but particularly the dude who's doing the helicopter with his little girl --an entire section of Millennials doing dance moves I recognize, oh the nostalgia

You know he watched this happen and laughed his ass off and went, “people need to see this.”

[bananonbinary]

these two paintings are called Uncorking the Bottle and A Surprising Result and were done in 1887.

I remember when I was 26. The mastodon hunts were the highlight of my day, and we cheered whenever we made fire...

with musk and trump gunning for social security, now seems like a good time to remind everyone that social security isn’t like government charity or something. it’s fully paid for. always has been. corporate media loves to parrot the conservative lie that social security is running out of money without ever mentioning why: congress stole the money. they literally robbed from peter to pay paul.

the whole idea of social security was always that you pay into it your whole life, and then when you retire the government gives you that money back. it’s your money. always has been. like sure technically the money being paid by working age people now is going to the people who are retired now. but social security was started in the 30’s, the people who are collecting benefits now paid into it their whole lives. the idea was to be a retirement savings account that the government keeps safe for you because it’s almost impossible for working class people to save for retirement under capitalism.

the problem is that congress looked at all that money just sitting there and decided to use it as a slush fund. and never paid it back. because it’s easier to steal that money than it is to raise taxes for new spending. so yeah, it’s a problem now that there are more old people retiring than there are young people working, but only because congress stole the money it was supposed to be saving for the people now retiring. all those savings could have actually earned money for the people who can’t pay in due to disability etc by being used as a massive investment fund. instead it’s the classic austerity misdirection: sabotage a useful functional government program, then claim that it doesn’t work and is too expensive. and the media never talks about it.

This is one of the reasons why the Comptroller General of the US has not signed off on a budget in decades — both parties keep illegally pretending Social Security is part of the federal budget and were the Comptroller to sign off on the budget, as is supposedly required by law, they would be liable for fraud because of it.
