@georgetakei anything I could compare it to pales in comparison. His face says it all.

@evan I have long wondered the reason for these polls, and what the data was used for. I figured they were meant to inform decisions regarding Fedi development priorities (moving forward).

Does this make sense? I was playing around with taking a photo of Saturn and the Orion Nebula a couple of nights ago, and low and behold, it looks like Saturn's rings are showing up. I was just using my phone, which doesn't have zoom or anything special. I didn't expect to see Saturn's rings.

@jeridansky @NorcalGma2 I'm watching this right now, and it's really delightful. It's so nice to see the person behind the posts and of course she's just as nice on video as she is on Mastodon. Really heartwarming.

@jeridansky oh that's fab. I love those beaches between Half Moon Bay and Pescadero. The goats are the cherry on top.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Republicans: can't live with 'em, can't bury them all in a giant hole in the ground.

@georgetakei horrendous human beings, and the latter is being generous.

@heidilifeldman this is brilliant, making it as annoying as possible to him as a means to disincentivize further bad behavior.

On Tyranny by Timothy Snyder is a valuable thing to have by your side in these times of increasing fascism.

Each chapter begins with a short bit of advice as it's title, followed by a sentence or two on it's potential importance. The rest of the chapter provides concrete historical examples.

Each chapter is short, and the book is only 126 pages. Possibly the most valuable thing that you could ever read.

I'm going to be posting the first page of each chapter, because of how important I think it is to share these ideas. Please boost if you feel them useful.

@sand why not.

She's not doing anything else right now.

@kingrat ooof.

So, the orange asshole is taking over Washington, D.C.'s police department and activating 800 members of the National Guard 'in the hopes of reducing crime', even as city officials stressed crime is already falling in the nation’s capital.

Of course he doesn't offer any specific remedies for the city's issues.

This is simply an excuse to exercise authoritarianism.

He supposedly is limited by statute to conduct this maneuver for 30 days. I'm sure he'll find a way to extend it.
