There will be more today. There will be more tomorrow. The zone is flooded, and eventually it's all just more shit floating by.

I just want to make an observation: all of this is absolutely unacceptable in a decent society.

There's so much repugnance coming from the Republican cult, a desire to control our bodies and lives and subject us to hard use, a determination to roll back any positive progress simply to demolish progression, and open glee at the fear, terror, and trauma this creates.

@Matt_Noyes We love lambs quarters. One of our favorite greens. What does the nutrition student think of them?

@Matt_Noyes usually like spinach but shorter cooking. If the leaves are young, maybe raw in salads. Take a bite, see what you think.

@Matt_Noyes ditch the stems.

@Matt_Noyes I had to look up this one:

> Does all that poetry make the peppers hotter?

Yes, of course.

P.S. does #farm_club have an extended explanation beyond the hash_tag findings?

Via Adam Ginsburg:

Our voter assistance hotline has been ringing off the hook with #Florida's Puerto Rican voters making plans to vote. 👀👀

Calls spiked 325% in just two days.

And that's (833) 868-3352, available in English, Spanish, and Haitian Creole

@evan um, I don't think that's the message voting for Jill Stein sends at all. Nobody really sees her as antiwar, they see her as a Putin apologist.

I mean, seriously? Vote to stop this, regardless of your feelings about Biden's handling of #COVID19. #VoteBlue

@ntnsndr
adaptable - each site can roll their own interaction style (to some extent) while still federating.

@grissallia @adamgreenfield
I recently turned 82. Could be longer than you expect.

@liaizon @cryptix
what if any solution do you prefer?

@liaizon @serapath @cryptix
Between a long string of random characters including random numbers and symbols, and a sentence with some meaning, I think I could remember the sentence (or even a sequence of words) better. No?

@smallcircles did you mean building an app on #ARProto is much easier than #ActivityPub or that on ATProto you don't need an app?

@pettter
> the money abstraction is an unnecessary fetish bringing all sorts of bad tendencies with it.

I believe that. Have you written more about that idea?

@band @mike_hales I'm late to this party, but @lynnfoster has been reading David Harvey and I'll ask if we want to read this together and comment back here. Leaving a bookmark here to return.

> why are we on the fediverse right now? Should we give up on any technology that involves some early-adopter friction?

Part 1 of 2:
I think the principle contradiction now (if you go along with that term) is the capitalist economic system. It is behind all of the other oppressive contradictions.

So I think we need to organize a better economic system that will need to start with local experiments that join together.

@cwebber
Pedantic sternly worded emails from RMS is maybe both the strength and weakness of GNU...

Strength = clear boundaries.
Weakness = drives away natural allies.

@mike_hales ok if I respond to
@band on this question? You can disagree later.

> why is entering into a contract and special language space?

It's not if all you want to do is use plain text. If you want your contract to be recorded by computers and made operational and the resources tracked and be accounted for, then it helps to use a somewhat formatted language. @bernini 's Smart Sentences make that easier. Or you can re-enter everything...

@mike_hales
Thanks for adding those other people. And making the conversation public. I wanted to give you a chance to go private if you wanted. I don't care for myself.
