Anything cable companies and Trump’s FCC chair agree on, I’m against…🤬 https://mastodon.social/@arstechnica/113511065139551408

“And we refuse to learn from our barbarism in the past."

It can be argued that, after this last election, America *has* “learned” from its past barbarism.

And what a majority of Americans have learned is they *like* that past barbarism. They are OK with it. The next four years will prove it’s *not* in the past. American barbarism is most certainly right here in the present. https://toad.social/@wdlindsy/113450229020609106

For those of us who hate Apple News links, here’s a better one:

@WarnerCrocker Even as a Yankees fan who lived through that AWFUL series, I agree. :)

Ironic that, after watching the Yankees shit the bed in Game 4 of the World Series, I watched The Comeback last night…

“Trump Historians: He’s a fascist.

Political scientists: He’s a fascist.

His own aides: He’s a fascist.

The NYT: He shows a wistful longing for a bygone era of global politics.”

Sure - let me just cut the benefits I DESERVE AND WORKED FOR to help the OWNER (who is NOT me) save money.

GFY, Karen.

Not a chance.

If 20 dead children at Sandy Hook didn’t wake people up to gun control, this sure as hell won’t. https://mastodon.social/@samiamsam/112790662820490949

WaPo: “Many voters express resignation, dismay, anger over being asked to choose between Biden and Trump again”

TOO FUCKING BAD.

If you can’t see what an existential threat a Trump presidency would do to America and THE REST OF THE WORLD, I pity you. But I promise, your world will be a LOT different if you don’t vote for Biden and not different in any good, measurable way.

Get over yourself and see beyond your own narrow interests. Voting isn’t marriage. You’re not going to find The One.

@splitbrain @geos Same here. I get why some people don’t like them but I find them fascinating and almost beautiful in their simple elegance.

@masek LOL Yeah…I’m familiar with that…I’ve known Ian for *decades*. 😀

This has to be the *stupidest* headline I’ve read all month…

WaPo: “Is Donald Trump okay?”

No, you numpties. He hasn’t been “OK” since the mid-80s. JFC stop being so naive.

@globalmuseum @jawarajabbi It *is* amazing but it’s *not* a statue of King Arthur.

“It is popularly called the "King Arthur statue", but the site's owner English Heritage states that it is not meant to represent a single person.”

I’m an instructor of beginner photographers. On Sunday, I send an email with tips, tricks, articles, pictures, etc. Info I think students can use. It’s for both “regular” camera users and those who shoot with smartphones.

There’s mention of things to do where I am, but it’s mostly for beginning #photography students to help them take better photos - It's NOT for advanced shooters. 😃

Unless you are a diehard Rams fan, you’ve *gotta* be cheering for the Lions in this game, right?

@clacke “Congratulations Canada on preserving your National Igloo!” had me in tears! 😂

Governor Mike Huckabee (yes it’s an old show): “Congratulations Canada on preserving your National Igloo…”

OMG I’m peeing myself! 😂

@kimhoar I watched it when it originally came on and thought it was wonderfully silly.

Then I moved to the US for a few years and realized…

IT’S A DOCUMENTARY! 😳🤦🏼♂️🤣

He’s probably a complete unknown in the US but here in Canada, he’s a comedy icon. Check out his “Talking to Americans” series. Maybe not so funny to Americans but freaking HILARIOUS to us Canadians. :)

@BethanyBlack @lisamelton That’s *amazing*! Congratulations from a complete stranger on the internet. :)
