He’s already got my vote. He’s by zero means perfect, but I live in a swing state and cannot throw out “meh it’s terrible, but good enough considering” because it’s not perfect.

Here’s some things he could do to make “meh, it’s terrible but” into just “good”:

• Put any kind of pressure on Israel.
• Expand the Supreme Court.
• Executive order giving the NLRB Sectorial Bargaining at the Federal Level.
• Force the FCC to regulate data collection.
• Go back in time and allow the railroad workers to strike and threaten nationalization if the hedge funds that own the railroads don’t play ball.

Also, like as a joke, it’s just lazy. There are better and funnier ways to mock Trump and his allies. Going “her dur gayz” is hack.

I’m having the same issue with message/reply but otherwise it’s a great app.

I mean, it’s a bunch of Linux people and communists… dunno what you were expecting.

In Catholic school in the nineties and early 2000’s, we were all told that the sex abuse scandal was serious but that it was also “a small number of incidents.” That we needed to pray for the victims and the souls of the perpetrators.

Then I went to college. Come to find out not only was the child rape widespread, not only did the church actively hide monsters from legal scrutiny, not only was this all directly effecting the local arch diocese (not my school specifically, but church leaders were forced to quickly rename another high school when allegations against a dead bishop proved too numerous to ignore)… not only all that but that it’s still going on, just not in first world countries with robust networks of journalists and legal systems. That an alleged pedophile was (while I was in college) living in the Vatican, being directly sheltered from extradition by South American authorities.

I guess the lie was that it was all over. That it was a small problem. That the church was a safe place people could turn to. I left the church at 18 over it, became an atheist by 19, and that’s where I’m at now at 35.

Whoa. This is freaking huge in the media/entertainment industry.

Good news then! With an algorithm fueled by human self-loathing, Instagram is the platform that hates you back!

Meal Team Six.

It could be actual suicide as well… many GOP party adjuncts and elected officials have been receiving death threats for not falling exactly in line with even Trump’s most vaguest of whims.

I keep saying, we’d also need a Senator who was an actual horse at some point. Mitch McConnell is retiring and if there was a state to elect a horse it would be Kentucky.

I mean, but have we tried it yet? Maybe we should try it.

We can’t be close to the fall of Rome, we don’t have a literal horse that has a vote in the Senate… of course with the retirement of Senator Mitch McConnell, Kentucky would be the state most likely to elect a horse as his replacement. So who knows.

It seems the way VC’s throw money at pure unadulterated hype, don’t count them out just yet. So long as you’re good at marketing, you don’t have to be good at development; you don’t have to have a good idea; you don’t have to have a product that does what you’ve promised, works or even exists… they’ll shower a literal pile of shit with money until it sparkles like a Faberge egg if you can only generate buzz.

Me: * checks to make sure this wasn’t Georgia *

Me: “Tennessee, thank God… oh and the delivery driver wasn’t killed, that’s good too.”

Slither (2006) fucked me up the first time I watched it. Now I can watch it and laugh. Also, Pam from “The Office” is in it as the police dispatch/receptionist… so, I guess she just got type cast.

Yeah, even back in the nineties they were still making good stuff. My mom always bought my jeans there as a kid because they sold a store brand that had reinforced knees. I was an outdoor child and ran through clothing at an alarming rate.

Mastodon, Peertube, PixelFed, and (unfortunately) Threads. [I’m forced to have a Threads account because of my job in media. I’m on Instagram and Twitter for the same reason]

I’m also super excited for Loops, but it hasn’t launched yet.

Okay, that makes sense. Was going to ask how proprietary/locked that charger system was as it seems to be the immerging standard.

I was wondering when someone was going to create a Fediverse platform like this. Figured it would be the folks at either PixelFed or Peertube. Can’t wait to try it out!
