@rlstone4dems @flexghost it's a convenient way to stay in the news.
I don't know who needs to hear this, but @internetarchive has the complete set of Carl Sagan's 1980s Cosmos series online for free.
Yes please. While we're making demands, it would be nice if we could just build more walkable neighborhoods that build community instead of needing robotaxis in the first place.
@yuhasz01 @petergleick maybe they'll write a strongly worded statement 🙄
@petergleick Trump IS the biggest threat to the country and public health at this point. Climate change is incredibly important, but until we have someone in government who actually is willing (and competent enough) to tackle it, we're just pissing into the wind.
Not saying it's OK that the clown show Trump administration keeps fucking over needed programs. It's just hard to imagine making any progress at all until you find a way to kill Trumpism.
@Robo105 @lexicaleigh close. Words and killing bad when targeting the wrong people. Words and killing good when targeting the right people.
A brilliant explanation of how cars ruin everything.
@chimera I knew it! GPL = Gay People License. Wake up sheeple, the woke gay agenda is here and it's FABULOUS
just to be clear, given the coverage of the most recent post, we don't want to be subject to any conspiracy theories arising from that
so i'll just use this opportunity to declare that we are definitely here to further woke agenda by turning free software gay
@RandamuMaki @TheConversationUS people just don't understand how evil can look so banal. Their concept of a Nazi is someone running a gas chamber and executing people in the streets. They see what's happening and rationalize because it's "not THAT bad". We haven't built Auschwitz. It's not like ICE is marching through _my neighborhood_ so this is probably just an exaggeration. Politicians _all lie_ Trump isn't any different. Just because we deported one or two people _by accident_ doesn't mean this is a deliberate tactic to instill fear.
American fascists are boring, and goofy, and incompetent, and absolutely just as dangerous and evil to the core as the Nazi movement almost a century ago.
@maxpower I really like this style, very nice!

Let me tell you the story of friends, riding bikes, and breaking mental barriers. The Farm is just a small patch of dirt in the middle of North Carolina, but for me it's had a permanent, positive lasting impact on my life.
@randahl Yes but do you want to view this content in our app?
@HumToTable @ai6yr I'm not holding my breath, lol. Here's hoping though.
@bipolaron @mattwilcox @anemone @evacide are you suggesting Christian nationalists will abuse this power to legislate morality on the Internet? Because yes, that's exactly what they want.
I know it's Friday, not Monday, but I released a video this morning. (I'll possibly have one tomorrow, as well, if you can believe that!)
Today's video is about something really nice that @adamshostack is doing and I just had to share
TL,DR: If you were caught up in the ongoing devastation around Washington DC and find yourself no longer employed by the Fed due to cuts, chaos, etc. Adam is offering you a free seat in his upcoming training.
This isn't a paid endorsement or anything, BTW. I am not affiliated with the class or getting a cut of the proceeds. (heh, can a free class even *have* proceeds?) I simply caught his post about it and felt so good reading it that I wanted to spread the news. 💚
@fortyseven they love nothing more than legislating morality in the name of protecting children, while at the same time doing fuck all to actually protect children from credible threats like firearms and preventable disease.
