I know I have found my people based on how many times I’ve seen this image today on more than one platform.

Undoubtedly, Pat Robertson and his supporters considered him to have impeccable morals, but I think the best testament to someone’s moral correctness is whether or not entire communities celebrate their death.

As the mainstream media pundit class tries desperately to convince us that the Trump victory was because of Democratic embrace of identity politics around inclusivity and trans rights, we need to grapple with punditry as equally potent a force of mis/disinformation for self-assigned savvy voters as populist social media nonsense and nefarious doings in Moldovan server farms have been for low-information/highly propagandized voters.

Am I the only one who has a moment of panic when an app suddenly requires a new login for no apparent reason?

Sending off a little nastygram to John Fetterman reminding him that his own wife could've been detained and deported over an unfounded suspicion if the Laken Riley Act had been law before she got documented.

It won't matter but I like reminding him that his slouch rightward impacts real people.

A completely true sentence I just said out loud: “I just booped Cory Doctorow.”

Life is weird. Happy Halloween.

2022 me, responding to the Senate losses of Charles Booker in KY, Krystle Matthews in SC, Val Demings in FL, Trudy Busch Valentine in MO, Cheri Beasley in NC, and Stacey Abrams’ gubernatorial loss in Georgia, was prescient, and remains correct.

Having just heard a litany of white people, turning themselves into pretzels, acrobats, crabs, in the way they will bend over backwards and contort themselves to excuse the vile racism at the Madison Square Garden Nazi rally, there is no question about this. Whiteness will always protect whiteness, and whiteness will always provide blinders that prevents the truth from being seen.

I saw three kids exit the public library, two girls, maybe 10 or 11 years old, and a somewhat older boy. One girl went in the opposite direction of the girl and boy, and she called over her shoulder “bye, skibidi sigma, see you tomorrow! Bye skibidi sigma’s brother!”

I thought that this language was all an elaborate joke, and the kids were not actually saying these things except in jest, but apparently I was wrong.

@LilahTovMoon@tech.lgbt it looks pretty clear from where I'm sitting that just as Trump was illegally interfering with the ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas, he has also been illegally speaking with ByteDance from a place of authority he doesn't legally have yet with.

I would pay good money to never have to see the words "beef tallow" ever again.

Who's using Pixelfed?

@DoorbellQueen@mastodon.social ooh pretty.

@DoorbellQueen@mastodon.social oooh soap is fine. Slathering raw beef tallow on as a lotion or worse, a sunscreen is not. Or using it liberally in place of butter.

@DoorbellQueen@mastodon.social I'm not entirely sure who she is. I just scroll when I hear the words. 😂

@kenshiro73@mindly.social @LilahTovMoon@tech.lgbt the swiftness with which dominos are falling is terrifying.

@ohmu@social.seattle.wa.us it's so jarring! I'm glad someone else gets it.

@origuru@mastodon.world just beyond words. I want the time and effort I put into his election back.

@SarraceniaWilds@sunny.garden ooh what did I miss?
