@nullagent We're sorry, Portland.
But no, you can't send Jonathan Chode back to Seattle. It took us long enough to get rid of him.

50% vs 49% accomplishes nothing.
If we don't turn off Red/Blue hate-ganda and work together as the 99%, the billionaires who own both sides will end civilization. 💥🍄
Don't let corporate media program you to believe you know what motivates the Evil Other Color. Ask people, and truly listen — NOT "wait until they shut up so you can prove them wrong".
Gender: Moot. Call me anything you like as long as it's not with malice.
All ❤️s are platonic.

@nullagent War profiteers gonna war profiteer. And keep cashing checks out of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and everything else that used to make the US humane. 😟

@The_Whore_of_Blahbylon@mastodon.social This reminded me of a rather naughty #nsfw loophole discovered by teen fundie girls trying to scripturally satisfy horndogs so they can keep them (why?) and mocked by Garfunkel and Oates, if you haven't yet seen it… 😈 😂

Today I learned a Gilbert and Sullivan passage (from Princess Ida) that tickled my funny bone pretty hard:
Man will swear and man will storm —
Man is not at all good form —
Man is of no kind of use —
Man's a donkey — Man's a goose —
Man is coarse and Man is plain —
Man is more or less insane —
Man's a ribald — Man's a rake,
Man is Nature's sole mistake.

@dyckron It's really, really sad how far they have to go to make it clear that it's satire.

@nullagent Even if it weren't for the incredible value of the honest reporting, "Zionists occupying Palestine" would be worth a follow all by itself.
Thank you. Truth is dreadfully hard to come by in the United Empire of Profit. 🤜 ✨

@nullagent@partyon.xyz Noticed the air coming in through the window was unusually nippy, but it was still wild coming out this morning to find my car covered in snow. Pretty rare in these parts.
If this is for a con, hope you're enjoying your time in the Emerald City! :blobfistbumpL:
But if you're a fellow denizen, that's awesome. We need all the good folks we can get, if we're ever going to overthrow our local developer stooges.

@benroyce I didn't mention the Reps because they're the "heel" in the script, and their role is that they don't pretend to care. They're both employed by the same sociopathic war-and-climate-disaster-profiteering billionaires, and letting either color of corporate media tell you one is Evil while the other is Good but keeps getting "fooled" or "thwarted"… completely misses the reality of the situation.
Replying to
@benroyce Still less fake than Dems “fighting for” the vulnerable (including the increasingly-teetering 99%) and against being barbaric warlord monsters, though. 😉

@dyckron I guess "getting in on the action" of leveling entire blocks of cities is one way for Carney to make sure history will remember him…

@petergleick@fediscience.org As horrifying as the escalations of war profiteering and "AI" by the billionaire robber barons are, they're ultimately just symptoms of the malignancy. With incipient climate catastrophe being another marked example… how will we grow food without stable growing seasons?
If humanity doesn't unite to end the existence of billionaires (by means peaceful or not), they're going to end us.
The call is coming from inside the house.

@montecook@dice.camp @NadiaYvette@mastodon.social I look forward to your take on Bizarro Politics... many politicians, you can more reliably depend on their public promises being lies than you can depend on the veracity of the vast majority of people.
"Me am very proud of saving environment and putting oil companies in place!"
"But you just dedicated an area larger than all but 3 countries to undersea drilling?"
"Me am standing up for little guy!"
"By burning the social safety net and cutting taxes on billionaires?"

@benroyce And if you can't see that you're in a hate cult too, not just the Evils who you so despise and imagine to be lurking in even the slightest criticism of your Holy Democrats… well, you're not alone. The Reds feel the exact same way.
Replying to
@benroyce Keep on believing the Dems will do the right thing if only they win the next election, no matter how many times they utterly refuse to do so while in power. Someone has to.
Me, I'm sick of the fact I've been watching them pull this same shtick for decades on end and things ONLY GET WORSE.
Replying to
@benroyce Heads up, oh wise We Must Vote For Dems No Matter How Many Times They Deliberately Fail To Stop Reps (Or Even Actively Help Them)… the Dems are doing nothing meaningful to stop them, and they never will.

Mastodon.cloud users in particular: I can't guess whether the severe lag of late is related to the server's administration or the way other servers are interacting with it, but it might be good to at least export your follows and have a backup plan for migration.
Servers are starting to limit it (https://sfba.social/@announcements/116401088567092431), and at least one server defederated it (breaking follows) with just 72 hours' notice (to just its users, https://mastodon.cloud/@fosstodon@fosstodon.org/116426844675685148).
