BONUS #JOKE :
I got kicked out of the coffee club, because I wore a tea shirt.

Too late. #Trump said he was gonna do it & you endorsed him anyway.

#Trump's near-total #pardon of #Jan6 *rioters* was denounced by the #FraternalOrderOfPolice, the largest police union in the US, & the International Association of Chiefs of Police on Tues.
The groups said they're deeply discouraged by #pardons & #commutations made by both Biden & Trump of individuals convicted of killing or assaulting #law enforcement officers [false equivalency: Biden 1; Trump >1,550]

We are supposed to have some crazy wind event today and tomorrow. Itโ€™s hard to believe because right now itโ€™s unnaturally still and silent. Mother Nature holds her breath before unleashing it on us ๐Ÿ’จ

She draws in a little right before she sneezes. I hope she uses a tissue.


My aunt, the doctor,
told me a new joke.
She began:

โ€œKnock knockโ€

And so I replied:

โ€œWhoโ€™s there?โ€

And she answered:

โ€œYes, but not
for much longer,
the United States
is withdrawing from it.โ€

And then neither of us laughed.



I appreciate why people are lauding the Bishop of DC for her appeal to Trump and Vance. And I understand why, given her tradition, she used the language of mercy. But, what elected leaders in a pluralistic constitutional democracy should act from is justice and the public good, both of which counsel against everything these Republicans Fascists are doing. Mercy is what we might expect from despots, and despite their self-understanding Trump et al were not elected to that role.

Apparently, the antichrist didnโ€™t think the sermon was very โ€œexciting.โ€

Couldnโ€™t agree moreโ€ฆ
The #law & equal #justice are bedrock beliefsโ€ฆ
They are inexplicably intertwined in the wayโ€ฆ
I practice my own ideas of #faith.

She had the public stageโ€ฆ
He claims & expouses #christian beliefsโ€ฆ
As suchโ€ฆhe is required by his faith to practice them.

To someโ€ฆshe pointed out his #hypocrisy.
Knowing he could not retort.

We must take every opportunity to bluntly illustrateโ€ฆ
His depravity, #bigotry #vanity & #cruelty
In simple, easily understandable ways.

In #matrix @element that scrollbar of the chat window (all scrollbars really) are so extremely thin, even with the mouse they are hard to 'capture' and get hold of the slider. Let alone on mobile, where this is even harder. #SX

I really wish Bluesky didn't have it's own protocol. I really want to support it as a part of the shift away from centralized social media, but there isn't a way for it's success not to come at the expense of Activitypub.
in reply to theDLCguy

@the1dlcguy I've soured on Bluesky since learning that running an "instance" costs upwards of $30M. The only way to get that kind of money is from billionaires, so their protocol is not a solution for getting away from control by billionaires.

Ah ok. Dann irrelevant. Nicht offene Software ist ein No-No, und den Zugang zu Asssistenz-Software an einen Vertrag mit Google zu knรผpfen ganz besonders.

Das Decken der Kosten ist kein Argument. Das geht genau so gut mit offener Software. Da wรผrde garantiert sogar mehr gespendet, als man den Bedรผrftigen durch Kommerzialisierung aus der Tasche ziehen kann.



Musk is simultaneously a Nazi and a coward. He knows he's a Nazi. He knows what he did was a Nazi salute but he's too cowardly to simply say "Yes, I'm a Nazi."
And of course the mainstream media is too cowardly to say it too. But we know what we saw.


Also PLEASE do not engage with folks doing this in another person's mentions, when you do that you are essentially telling them that our replies are a productive place to seed terror

I hope @jay.bsky.team and all have a plan for Trump era Nazi troll death threat creep. Because it is starting to make it past my (copious, thorough) blocklists and I really, really do not like it



I'm just gonna say let's call a spade a fucking spade. Especially if there were two spades done in succession based on the reaction of the first spade.


This explains why the media was cheering on #Trump the whole time. #Biden did not give them the access they so desperately craved. The masks are off. thedailybeast.com/white-house-โ€ฆ
