This is substantially less unreasonable than most of the responses to current events I’ve seen in my feed today

This, except not just for •constitutional• checks and balances. Social pushback matters. Reporting matters. Organizing matters. Sabotage matters. Support matters.

We are under no obligation to make •anything• easy for these fascist knuckleheads.

I mean, I for one am willing to speculate wildly about Musk assassinating Trump no matter how hypothetical it might be.

@vruz
Just one trollish reply will suffice, thank you

Not a prediction — too far-fetched to be an actual prediction — but just something wild to add to your bingo card:

Trump and Musk get in some pissing contest about who owns who, Trump tries to kick Musk to the curb, and then Musk has Trump assassinated because Vance will take orders better.

Just imagine.

Not to excuse the Democratic Party for its many shortcomings, but this from @billyjoebowers really is pretty damn spot on.

The mainstream US press is pretty much is full-scale failure mode at this point. Whatever role we thought it served in society, it just…doesn’t anymore. https://mastodon.online/@billyjoebowers/113506837692000934

Elon Musk calling EU Commission President Ursula Von der Leyen:

🧑🏻🦱 "Do as I say, or I will turn off Starlink in your home neighborhood"

👩🏻🦳 "I am not a Starlink user."

🧑🏻🦱 "Do as I say, or I will cause your Tesla to malfunction!"

👩🏻🦳 "I drive a Mercedes!"

🧑🏻🦱 "Do as I say, or you will NEVER go to Mars on MY spaceships!!!"

👩🏻🦳 "I predict, neither will you."

🧑🏻🦱 "AAAARGH! ☠️🤬😡👿"

A great team is a true treasure indeed. (If you all relocate to MSP, drop me a note and ask me if I’m tired of teaching!)

Here’s a thread to read to the end, one that somebody out there maybe needs right now. From @KydiaMusic:

I can't believe that this is still a thing, but if your risk model is noticeably impacted by the adversarial capability of _writing an email in the English language_ then I'm pretty sure your threat model is already broken.

To state the obvious:

1. It doesn’t matter. “Deport” just means “hardship and chaos.” Stateless? Stuck in an airport? Dropped in a random country unrelated to you? Sent right back to your house after jail overnight? Tied up in court for years? Who cares! They sure don’t!

2. If you look sufficiently white, you will not be caught up in this. At first.

It is horrible; @LilahTovMoon is spot on. And this is, of course, the point.

9/15 Try watching TV without simultaneously scrolling through Twitter or Instagram, and you’ll feel the unbearable weight of being alone with a single thought.

Well, I don’t mind you using my screenshot, but I don’t think permission is mine to give! The group is “SBC Berkeley.”

I understand the politics at play in appearing friendly to the USA at a national level, but any recruiter in a LGBTQIA friendly nation that is not at least shooting a discreet shot at queer American high-demand scientific, medical, and tech professionals is missing a huge opportunity.

Honestly my main goal most of the time is just to find excuses to say the word “nixtamalization”

@lindsey
Yup yup. That. I suppose it makes sense that the creators of a formally plausible but semantically incoherent question would see the value in AI!
