Now he’s commenting on dicks.

I fucking Hate Trump and I don’t care who knows it. This guy is such a piece of shit and so are every one of his cult followers.

We would all benefit from more boosting and following. It’s not great social media if people aren’t actually behaving socially. #Mastodon

I'm going to be generous and say those with modified exhaust vehicles and thumping bass soundsystems have no clue how far low frequency sound waves travel and resonate inside houses many hundreds of feet away. I choose not to believe they are deliberately being assholes, but they are.

Ann Colter deleted that nasty tweet about Gus Walz. But she is still vile and always will be.

Clearly, many vicious right wing wind bags have been chronically bereft of love, family, and support and therefore find its expression distasteful and shocking. Why anyone would want heartless, selfish assholes like that in charge of the country is unsettling.

I've not paid a NYT or WaPo subscription for years. No TV news whatsover. I do not miss it. I also will not renew my @TheAtlantic subscription this year because their coverage has been poor of late.

I will pay for good journalism, independent content like ProPublica, etc. #news

All governmental orgs and offices should be active on #Mastodon, a free and open platform, and not on for-profit social media.

Pass it on. #Government #Politics #Harris

If you are still on the hellsite, you support this. Insanity.

No more Ouija boards in the park, kids.

Dianthus reblooming. I kept them watered during the heat. #Bloomscrolling #flowers

My favorite flower this year. Nigella. Love in a mist. Grown from seed. #Bloomscrolling #flowers

More Love in a mist. #Bloomscrolling #flowers

I’m watching the bees 🐝 on the lavender today. Peeking out are some campanula. #Bloomscrolling #Flowers

This is outrageous. Typical for these self described “moral” religious activists. Liars, bribers and cheats. And they will continue to get away with it because of our ridiculous deference to Judeo-Christian philosophy in the US.

When some new eager contributor appears in a social setting, a few people give praise even if the content is really not special, even if it's outright BAD.

To say nice things about mediocre stuff is acceptable and lauded. However, to express a modicum of dislike is not. So, we end up with... enshittification of a podcast, forum, website, feed, etc.. This is a biased, bad system.

I am 💯for large scale adoption of green energy and EVs. Full stop.

It’s silly to complain those things are “polluting” in comparison to the old options. You can’t get a perfect solution but the tech will improve. Stop with the ridiculous excuses. Even expense isn’t a sound blanket excuse anymore, all things considered.

What’s blooming today? #Bloomscrolling #Flowers Intense Red Phlox

What’s blooming today? #Bloomscrolling #Flowers Dahlia from last year. ❤️

It was quite. the. day. I wish I could tell you, but I'd get in trouble for sharing gov't secrets (not really). Just a pile-on of work and family stress - good and potentially bad.

I perused my flower garden, made a cocktail, and I feel better now.

My new-used Chevy Bolt EV had a strange knocking noise. So we researched and found it was in need of a software update. Took it in and paid $165. Fixed it. Honestly, Tesla would have done this over the air, no charge.

I'm kinda pissed but... whatever. Teslas were ahead of the sad EV curve.
