@Gargron @Sarahp I appreciate you & Mastodon, Eugene. I especially like the diversity... in clients, configurations & people. Let the fingerwaggers go post on the social networks they built with 20M users.

Oh, wait a minute.

Yeah, that's it. I'm unfollowing all the feeds I have that publish politics. These persistent calls for Biden to step down in the midst of a potential Democracy-ending election are stupid AF.

Still can't grasp how it is that 50% of America still allies with Trump? Try to understand the power of groupthink, poli-psyops & most importantly, *resentment*.

Yes, geo-isolation & MAGA brainwashing are factors in today's reality-defying worldviews, but the biggest reason is the "us-vs-them" mentality collectively created by:
- rich anti-tax warriors
- blue collar anti-tax warriors
- racists & white supremacists
- evangelical Christians
- NRA/gun fanatics
- anti-socialists from China/Cuba

Libertarians have their challenges but they aren't utterly stupid enough to believe Fat Nixon's fake cryptocurrency ballwashing.

Maybe you've called the Vault-Tec sales number as shown on the Fallout TV show at (213)25-VAULT.

But have you TEXTED the number? 😁

Wanna see a REAL Fallout fan reacting to "Fallout the Series" - not for the content & clicks?

Her joy & excitement is palpable. No whining about nitpicks. Best reaction video I've seen.

How is it that no one cares about this rhetoric any more? Words matter.

Trump is forbidden from selling any $DJT shares for at least 6 months; he could, request a waiver on this from the board, which would no doubt bless any desire of his.

This pre-emptive signal... would scare the smaller investors, piss off Jeff Yass & send Trump Media’s valuation plummeting.

And Trump would get pennies, not billions.

Just a couple weeks after adopting Waldo from the LA Animal Shelter, he started doing this thing where he hunts for me, leans on me wherever I am & falls asleep with a small satisfied smile.

This still pisses me off. All the Asian roles - except the "nerd engineer" - got whitewashed out of The Martian.

And with all my experience with it, I don't usually get mad or hold a grudge about the motion picture industry given my general low expectations.

But this is right up there with "21".

Never, ever, EVER thought I'd ever see a Super Bowl in Las Vegas on the backdrop of the Bellagio fountains on the Strip.

BTW: Imagine how much more revenue this is bringing into the Vegas community... with so much less investment, infrastructure & inconvenience.

If y'all want international cash, why not try FIFA? Because clearly you folks' predictions around the wealth of the average F1 fan was horribly, HORRIBLY wrong. Just sayin'.

TIL that in 1990, the BBC censored a Star Trek: The Next Generation episode because Data talks about the “reunification of Ireland in 2024”, discussing how terrorism is successful form of political influence.

We are 7 days away from 2024 & that episode has never aired in full in Ireland.

@PJ_Evans @mrpresidenttom @thomasfuchs Yeah, well, y'know... Ketamine is a helluva drug.

@PJ_Evans @mrpresidenttom @thomasfuchs That's the point: Musk envisioned the Hyperloop as part of a long game to create fear & snuff out investment in CA high speed rail projects so he could advance the use of EV cars instead.

He's admitted this. His megalomania believes he's saving the world. He abstracted the Hyperloop tech for the Boring Company to advance the idea of underground highways, again, to advance EV cars. Not for environmental reasons, but for energy storage on *Mars*. Look it up.

A reminder of the impact leadership has on hate on social networks. Elmo has appallingly greenlit & objectively blessed right-wing unrestrained hate on LGBTQ Twitter.

@dansup NGL... hadn't even considered using Pixelfed until this post. Just set it up & looking forward to using it!
