And I won't be sad at all, when MAGA voters take a fall.

ACLU full page ad in NYTimes.

Same here. Not moving to Canada...or Mexico...or wherever. And I'm not shy about sharing my opinion those who think they are in control.

"Steadfast and determined to make ours a more perfect Union..."

@Tee_Lynn the cops most certainly CAN do something, they just don't want to because they are complicit

@Tee_Lynn
How is that harassment --and for three nights in a row--not a crime? 😡

@Tee_Lynn
I am pretty sure threats and harassment are still crimes.

Hey @KazzyH

I forgot to show you!

We traded 4 huge chicken burritos to Magpie’s kitchen for shrimp scampi (not depicted) and the DELISH cod cakes seen below.

No clam pizzas were eaten during the taking of this photo. Unfortunately. But that DOES give me an idea…😉

Speaking of MAGA malefactors...

Remember that Ohio sheriff who said he wasn't gonna respond to Democrats if they had problems?

Now imagine this mindset commonplace, writ large...

Not good.

Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear. The more things change the more they stay the same.
This memory popped up this morning.

And while you're studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors...and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do'.

The galaxy is a beautiful place, but there's a star destroying black hole at the center of it. Political metaphor. There is still joy to be found, just not at the event horizon.

@TheAbbotTrithemius Largely due to setting the algo toward Big Five Personality Traits that favor :Asshat: That was the entire premise of “Mindfuck” by Christopher Wylie.
The algo finds the correlations between people who have low empathy and conscientiousness and high neuroticism and the algo blasts Rogan and Tate ads to them. Constantly. Non stop.

TPM has been publishing their readers observations about the election. This one is especially revealing of how algorithms drive the “bro” online culture via what it perceives as male interests using almost any young male oriented subject area as a way to target and feed them Rogan and others in that bro landscape (Andrew Tate)…

Again and again the algo is the out of control poison diminishing us all.

@lisaannlm The two complains I read from people who tried here and left are:
1. The user interface is different
2. There is not enough engagement

(1) is laziness. They presumably forgot that they had to learn how Twitter/IG/Facebook worked.
(2) is where they confuse engagement with useful engagement. Sex bots and assholes provide engagement, but not useful engagement. Unfortunately a lot of people get a dopamine high from every response.

@StevenSavage I live in a community that is about 50% hispanic.
I'll get the news pretty fast.

And if anyone truly listened to Stephen Miller and the idiot, they'd realize "naturalized" won't mean a damned thing.
According to the idiot... American means "Murican"

Children’s book by chef Jamie Oliver is withdrawn after criticism from Indigenous Australians

Indigenous campaigners were particularly aghast that neither Oliver nor his publishers, Penguin Random House, had consulted with them before the novel was published.
