Welcome again to everybody! Make yourself at home. Sit down on the floor over there. No, it hasn’t been cleaned for a few weeks. What? No, there are no chairs. In the time-honoured tradition of our group, here is our weekly discussion thread!
We have our own Matrix homeserver at https://genzedong.org; you can make an account with any Matrix client (e.g. Element). We have a GenZedong Matrix room (see the sidebar for more information), although it’s not very active at the moment, and there’s also a general Lemmygrad Matrix room at .
Short reading list for new MLs here. To find theory (and other books), you can use z-lib, libgen, or Sci-Hub (for scientific articles). If an article is unavailable, try the Wayback Machine.
John Oliver had a rare w moment some time ago. IIRC he hired someone to literally shake the border wall with their bare hands and it wobbled by almost a whole meter (video was John Oliver Border Wall II, now unavailable for some reason). Lots of the wall was built on shit ground that was cracked or constantly soaked, and its foundations are shallow enough to dig through. Also, most illegal immigrants don’t get here by crossing the border. They just come for a “tourist trip” and ignore the expiration date on their visas.
