@benroyce @NickSchwanck @paninid Democracy is one of the best tools for convincing people who didn't get their way that they should just keep trying to get more votes, rather than throwing bombs or building barricades.

@EricIndiana White settlers in the Americas have been separating children from their parents since before there was a USA. You'd just think after having fought a civil war over it there'd be more awareness that it's a fucking horrific thing to do.

@thomasfuchs Forty years ago last month I got my first software development job.
So it's about forty years and 30 days since I first heard someone say "... and we won't need programmers any more".

@ryanc I can pass for DNS but I have to wear BINDers.

I'm not saying there's anything wrong with the duck lifestyle. I'm just saying the more you normalise it, the more turkeys are going to try it out.

@the Cannibalism is occasionally justified (shipwreck, plane crash up a mountain etc.)
There is no justification for Donald Trump.

@Lana The President of the United States was a regular client of the world's most notorious pedophile pimp.

@janhoglund I don't get why he's afraid. The Supreme Court won't let him be tried while he's in office. Congress can't impeach him for stuff he did before he was president. And he's clearly planning on leaving the White House in a coffin.

@ada We call them pūkeko over here.
They're born with what look like full sized feet. Evolution has a sense of humour, sometimes.

@RamenCatholic I can make beer. Have grown my own hops and cultivated yeast in the past but have never tried malting barley.

@noondlyt @djsundog @ai6yr If he hadn't returned it they'd have charged him with theft.

@RamenCatholic @SRLevine So long as there's still room for artisanal straight space socialism.

@targetdrone @a1ba Can the wheel read email yet?

@sarahtaber I think a lot of Americans assume all Hispanic people in the USA are either immigrants or descendants of recent immigrants, but most are descendants of people who were living in northern Mexico when it was annexed by the USA.

Mary has a little lamb
A lobster and some prunes,
A glass of milk, a piece of pie,
And then some macaroons.

It made the busy waiters grin
To see her order so,
And when they carried Mary out,
Her face was white as snow.

I'm so old I can remember when Republicans were against sending armed federal agents to detain non-violent immigrants.
