The trick has echoes of the approach taken by Griffin in HG Wells’s 1897 novel, The Invisible Man, in which the brilliant but doomed scientist discovers that the secret to invisibility lies in matching an object’s refractive index, or ability to bend light, to that of the surrounding air.

Beyond parody.
Georgia Rep. Mike Collins (R) ran an ad in 2022 where he declared Trump the 2020 winner and shot a voting machine (where did he get it) with “an AR-15.”
“gee, I wonder where the 14-year-old dipshit who shot up his school yesterday got the idea that he could solve all his problems with a gun?”

#Welt! Bist du noch da?
#Trinken
Obwohl es gestern Morgen noch recht angenehm temperiert war, habe ich auf dem #Heimweg doch zwei #Trinkpausen einlegen müssen. So eine #Bank im #Schatten hat schon was (-:
Auch die #Vöglein flogen im #Garten alle angebotenen #Trinkstellen an.

I had the pleasure of meeting @marsbarlee today, who gave me a copy of her zine which I really recommend reading if you ever felt intimidated with open source software or thought that you couldn't possibly contribute anything to it (you probably can, it's less scary and complex than it sounds!).

Mastodon for Harris, evening update, 9/5. We are doing well heading into debate day. Notably, the recurring contributions are now delivering $25,574.24 per month to Harris for President. secure.actblue.com/donate/mast…

I have a number of new contacts among the Harris campaign’s advisers. Tomorrow, I will begin reaching out to them about a campaign presence on Mastodon.

Thanks for the update! I recently learned that users on Threads can choose to turn on a “share to Fediverse” setting. This is near-zero effort for the campaign, no downside. I’d love to see the campaign run their own Mastodon instance, but sharing Threads posts to the Fediverse would be a good immediate start. Have you already suggested this to them?
Are you planning a donation match thing during the debate like you did during the acceptance speech? If yes, please count me in.

Musk destroyed over $30 billion in shareholder value during his 2 year ownership of Xitter — that is, about 2/3rds of the price he paid for it, with a focus on efficiency and firing essential teams that kept revenue coming. You want that kind of value destruction in America? Then vote for #WeirdDonOLD!

he hopes it teaches the world that “it isn’t obliged to put up with musk’s far-right free-for-all just because he is rich”
Progressive groups place abortion rights amendments on state ballots to both restore women’s bodily autonomy and incentivize turnout. Conservative dark money groups goose their xenophobic base with amendments to outlaw non-citizen voting that’s already outlawed.
