@flexghost Well, she thinks an F-18 is a plane, or "weapons *delivery* system", not a weapons system. She didn't say anything about "JDAM BLU-109/MK 84", so she didn't actually say anything about weapons systems.

</sarcasm>

@ProPublica The fun part, of course, is that oil and coal are much more expensive than solar and wind + storage at this point, so on top of layering on environment and carbon damage we have to pay for later, we also have to pay a lot more now.

A billionaire anywhere is a threat to democracy everywhere. Fossil fuel barons need to not exist.

@gamingonlinux I don't understand much of this, but I hope it doesn't mean my graphics drivers crash a bunch.

@JeffreySmith @HamonWry

They did ignore a genocide, asshole, because Trump already told them what he was gonna do to palestine, and Russia is doing their damndest to do to Ukraine.

Pretending that wasn't obviously on the menu is enabling the worst people in the worst way. You let perfect be the enemy of good and we are all going to suffer, but the people of gaza will suffer the most and the soonest.

@ChrisO_wiki do russian platoons even last 4 months?

Hey #NAFO take a look at this @dixf person...they're pretty new, have no followers, and everything they post is anti-weapons-for-ukraine.

Little propaganda campaign, ya'll think?

"The available data is pretty clearly showing us that for every life saved by larger vehicles (one of their big selling points), 25 other people die because they’re either in a smaller vehicle or in no vehicle at all."

If you plan to pay attention to the debate (why?), at least do yourself a favor and watch it right:

@dansup and it there's gonna be an expiration maybe there's a way that people who have liked or shared can get notified so that can download if they want?

@dansup can you back older ones with distributed storage? Turn them into torrents?

@ntnsndr I assume you're familiar with like https://newpublic.org/ and what not? And Ethan zuckerman?

These are probably mildly insulting questions so apologies, but maybe they'll be useful to someone reading

@AnarchoNinaWrites Joe Biden's always had a fucking stutter and that didn't prevent him from being the best president of my life
He's also consummate proof that "doing good things' will never get you any support from all the people who claim that "if you just do good things, people will support you" which has always been a fucking lie because nothing is ever good enough for shitbag purists who couldn't pull a democratic theory of power out of a gift wrapped box.
He was gonna win. Harris won't.

@AnarchoNinaWrites read the polls that show harris doing no better than biden?

Those polls?

@AnarchoNinaWrites Biden had a significantly better chance than anyone else.

Harris is gonna run smack dab into the two foundational principles of this country: Racism and misogyny. It fucking sucks, but likely we just lost double-digit numbers of white-women in swing states and that's gonna push the election in the wrong way a lot.

not to mention the same media that's been a problem will now roll out every attack they used on Obama, Clinton, AND Biden on harris.

We are fucked.

@indigenous_commentator when you're so infophobic you jump into a pit of venomous snakes and thank your gods as you're bitten a hundred times instead of hearing any real news

@evan needs a "don't care" option, tbh.

I say this as a partisan democrat.

@lolcat @petergleick

I mean, he sorta definitively considered it when there were actual nazis about.

@peertube Ya'll have recommended apps or app comparisons?

@evan we had solar at the last place, but the roof here is shaded by very old sugar maples so we can't.

I want the panels back though. On top of guaranteed green, eversource is price gouging the shit out of us

@Gargron Yes, the image load is working much better, thank you!
