@cstanhope I had it on vinyl many moons ago. That was during the era of rock operas and concept albums. Rick Wakeman - Journey to the Centre of the Earth. The Who - Tommy. Alan Parsons Project - Tales of Mystery and Imagination, I Robot. And many more.

Because global warming is not a thing, we will burn more rocket fuel on pointless Starship flights. Fuck #SpaceX.

@br00t4c

Donald Trump is a fascist by default, not because he actually adheres to any philosophy. The whole world is viewed from his golden tower and his only interest is in preserving both that and himself. The rest of us can get fucked.

@br00t4c

Has anyone seen any French ships in the area?

#HMNZSManawanui

J/K. We know they wouldn't do it again.

@br00t4c

Has she never seen Jurassic Park?

Focus on the species under threat now, you mega rich moron.

Did Trump just blame Kamala Harris for the Russian invasion of Ukraine?

OMG.

@br00t4c

I'd buy this t-shirt but not the crap uttered by Usha Vance. A quip. Ha.

@Jerm

Totally agree. Need a medical update on Zoey Stark and Iyo Sky after that spectacular "fall".

@HamonWry

It's teddibly polite here. Even the rage is polite on Mastodon.

@bogeymansavage

Nope. Cody won the right to choose. The Rock has done nothing to earn it.

I learned something from a Jack the Ripper doco recently. In the 1800s (and probably earlier), women of substance were constrained by binding corsetry inside their garments.

Poorer women could not afford the luxuries of corsets and bloomers, so they wore their dresses loose on their bodies.

This is how the term "loose" woman came into existence. Women were judged by their poverty and found both wanting and wanton.

Sex work should be legalised and governed by rules that protect women in their workplace.

@evan

This is reduced to an online POLL? Gods.

Monday's almost over here. You'll have a great day.

X is a sewer. Twitter is dead.

From The Guardian article referenced under:

Farhad Divecha, managing director of London-based digital marketing agency Accuracast, said:

“The fact that Elon Musk seems to have disbanded the team that deals with election integrity sends a clear signal that preventing disinformation or maintaining a level of integrity isn’t a priority for X. This is one more factor adding to the concerns about brand safety, or ensuring brands aren’t associated with objectionable content.”

@harrybo93

Australian news does this all the time. "Three Australians stranded in Bumfuck, middle of nowhere".

No disrespect meant for the people of Rhodes - the focus has to be on them, on saving them and THEIR homes.

@AbandonedAmerica

PENCE is speaking out NOW because Trump's influence in the GOP is waning dramatically. He has had YEARS to speak out but has not chosen to do so until the Trump star has waned and indictment appears likely with each passing day.
Pence hasn't grown a spine, just launched an opportunistic attack on a fading opponent.
That CROWD on Jan 6 was threatening to HANG him. I would have spoken out a long time before now in the face of that very clear threat.

@AbandonedAmerica

No, it wasn't directed at you. And if it appeared that way, I apologise. It was directed fair and square at Mike Frigging Pence.

I never shoot the messenger. Good messengers are hard to find.
