    Germany and to a lesser extent Italy were supplying a significant portion as well and it’s likely others would step up if they pulled out. Probably with worse prices and worse hardware, but we’re not at risk globally of running out of places to buy weapons. It’s horrible what is happening to Palestinian civilians in gaza, but in the end, the US armament supplies aren’t strictly required to enable Israel.

    I definitely support that we’ve pushed this show out of the forefront, but this is where a lot of the arguments for the flag as a ‘symbol of southern pride’ come from. It’s a weird argument, and it is definitely not a fair one, but there’s very fond associations in the south with that car even from people who had no clue where the flag came from. Super successful attempt to help the confederate flag be seen as acceptable, whether on purpose or not.

    It’s a weird show too for someone who isn’t from the south… Racial diversity is non-existent in the show, but that’s also pretty accurate for its location… It had some awesome car scenes, but no depth. The only hot take in the show beyond the flag painted on top (which wasn’t even a hot take then) was that the government was widely seen as corrupt and it was more than a bit sexist.




  • A lot of smaller businesses just aren’t bothering to deal with it right now, relying on getting the opposing IT department to just whitelist their address is apparently working for them with their mail volume. I am talking smaller businesses, but also not mom and pop stores, we’re talking national chains, etc. that just don’t care about the impact. That is also assuming that whoever manages the receiving mail server has even managed to keep a policy to block items that fail SPF/DKIM in the first place.

    Gmail and Yahoo are pushing and I love that, but they’re just a bit ahead of the game.
