@jeffjarvis definitely encourage people to get the shingles vaccine, and the HPV vaccine: two very helpful, often overlooked, and probably more at risk vaccines.

@Jestbill @whvholst is just making a dark joke.

@fishidwardrobe why on earth would this one be better run than the others were?

@wtrmt @paprikapink @cstross omg dude avo goes on top it's not a filling *sighs deeply, flips hair theatrically*

Just a quick fun fact for everyone to think about: every mass deportation in US history has *accidentally* deported natural born citizens that resembled the targeted group.

@cstross that's got to be british onion

@jack i'm sorry if you don't like homeless people, they are human beings and it would be great if we treated them as such. but i imagine you'd throw people into a meat grinder to get patted on the head.

@whvholst but we could, you know, invest in them, she squeaked pathetically

We're spending a trillion dollars to create computers that can act like a human, and so every homeless bum is a billion dollar computer we're wasting.

This piece, by
@rickperlstein.bsky.social (idk if he's on masto) is indispensable right now. Share widely. Thinking about it. Have some meetings. Make a plan.

Practice that plan with your family, community, and so on. It might never happen, sure. But for many people out there, it will happen. Be as ready as you can be.

@fesshole @cstross honestly i feel this one in my bones. righty tighty lefty loosey for life.

@s.ly welp. 😬

@s.ly why on earth am i seeing your bsky posts from 2016, when there was no bsky?

@mcsquank @futurebird at least they didn't throw lampreys at you as well 😂

@jawarajabbi @cstross just to be clear, that's us voting to keep slavery.

@jawarajabbi @cstross oh and the bluest of blue states, my home of California? here's how we voted on slavery in this last election

@jawarajabbi @cstross trump won because he is who people wanted. at some point we need to accept this is who we are.

in the mean time, the biden admin is still sending bombs to the wrong side of a genocide. that's your best good guy right there.

@cstross idk man, i'm not sure this club of yahoos can rig an election properly. but i bet then can go to scotus and get an extraordinary delay.

It's so cute how y'all think there's going to be another election in four years. ❤️

Honestly any small power that is not thinking about how to get its own nuke right now is foolish. I hate the idea, and have always. But I also watched the world giving up on the political system that ameliorated the need for proliferation, however flawed that system was.
