@calcifer That's fun. In most cases I prefer the more inflammatory adult version - Jon Stewart's/ Daily Show's use of a news anchor's *final sign-off, live on-air: "Keep fuckin that chicken!"

Coming soon: fewer trees

@Gargron Never joined. I only joined Google+ because it basically came with the email. When it folded, I went to Twitter. When Elon wiped his ass with Twitter, I came here (and spent a few months on Gab before I got bounced).

@br00t4c That sounds about right.

@prolrage Anyone who values free expression should either loudly boycott or show up and deliver an unvarnished and scathing critique of Israel's horrific war crimes.

@ChrisMayLA6 @pluralistic I got an earlier version Sony Discman and used it for almost a decade until the spindle motor burned out. Then I replaced the spindle motor and laser and used it for another 5 years. It was heavy, had a hard metal shell that was easy to disassemble (because we used to design things *for servicing). Later versions were plastic, cheaply made, quicker to break, harder to fix - disposable. Sony's rep collapsed, as did many technician jobs. And the e-waste did flow.

@phaedral @austinkocher If being honest about Democrat leadership's actions is GOP friendly, that's on Democrat leadership.

@AnarchoNinaWrites I find robbing voters of their agency and reasoning in an attempt to erase root causes and oversimplify a complicated issue to be distasteful.

@AnarchoNinaWrites I can be angry at everyone who shat the bed. That includes both the DNC for being shitty and unappealing and non-Harris voters in swing states for selfish idiotic choices and priorities. They all deserve scorn.

@AnarchoNinaWrites Lots of people associated inflation with Biden. The Democrat response of telling people the economy is actually good (based on the status of rich people's money, not the status of poor people's budgets) was not a great approach. You either make regular people's lives materially better or you lose to conmen promising to make people's lives materially better.

@AnarchoNinaWrites I'd also like to give a shoutout to all the people who did selfish swing-state protest votes and sat at home with their thumbs up their asses while overt lawless bigotry-laced fascism took over the chief executive. That'll show 'em! And of course none of this would be possible without the #ConservativePropagandaMatrix and its millions of sad radicalized cult victims. I seriously hope y'all feel it every time a migrant child gets abused by this state.

@justafrog @mekkaokereke Thaddeus Stevens, Moncure Conway... there are a few white old thought leaders who got it mostly right. It's also important to recognize the progressives who saw past their flawed cultures.

@eff My phone/ the NSA got bored with my antics years ago.

@JuliusGoat Trump is not a Nazi. Despite his Nazi rhetoric and Nazi aspirations and his admiration for Hitler, he's too friendly with certain Jews and the state of Israel for full Nazi buy-in. I mean they're definitely voting for him, but they're not super thrilled about it. And of course lightly antisemitic white supremacists love him.

@JuliusGoat How so?

@JuliusGoat Could you be a little more vague (and arrogantly dismissive)? How exactly are my words inaccurate? Spouting insults (even esoteric/ ostentatious ones) is a poor substitute for a *substantive rebuttal. Pettifoggery indeed!

@prolrage Good riddance to stupid terrorist shitheads.

@prolrage Anyone who kills innocent civilians
