Sounds like that 30 hour Vegas drive may have been quite the culinary experience! 😀

@pivot the above advice goes double for primaries.

Vote for progressive candidates.
Every time.
Every election.

Then vote for the party that's most likely to elect progressive candidates.
Every time.
Every election.

@Lana every election needs to include the primaries. I'm tired of people bemoaning a flawed democratic candidate that they didn't even take the time to vote against in the primary.

@nuintari agreed. Reflecting on the founding fathers, they saw how efficiently King George III could inflict misery on the colonies, and they designed a government with checks and balances. One could argue that what they made was by nature inefficient as it fought with itself, that this was perhaps a feature to them, not a bug.

@Viss @drsbaitso and so many environments have alerts tuned down to nothing for malicious activity originating from them.

Absolutely buried at work and home. Lots going on. Going to try to just take it easy tonight.

Thought of the day: I am not ever going to subscribe to Wired, The Atlantic, The Guardian, New Yorker, NYT and 20-30 other good publications just for the handful of articles from each I read. However, I would GLADLY sub to an aggregator like Feedly if they distributed my payments to the publications on the basis of the articles I read.
@jeffjarvis

Sign me up too. Sounds like a great story.

@Remittancegirl People still need to wake up to the fact that Russia has been running cyber troops on the internet for 20 years.

They invest more than everyone else put together on militarily coordinated efforts to persuade public opinion.

There are countless troll farms in tens of countries, paying operators great salaries, run by ranking military officers, controlling millions of accounts.

They. Are. Good. At. What. They. Do.

@nuintari it's almost like a government and a business have different goals and responsibilities. Right there with you.

Happy Friday. Took the day to relax with my wife. Hope you are all doing well.

@nuintari good luck with this. Some people's audacity... Did the way back machine not have an old version of the page with the contact info still present?

Y'all have got to stop making decisions about who is a Nazi based on what the Nazis tell you.

If they don't want to be called Nazis, they should differentiate themselves by any of the following tactics:
- Use different symbols than the Nazis did
- Say different euphemisms than the Nazis did
- Promote different policies than the Nazis did
- Pursue different goals than the Nazis did

If it looks like a duck, and it talks like a duck, and it acts like a duck, and it wants to murder me because I'm trans, it's a Nazi duck.

OK, here’s a way of framing the posts above:

When a fascist sits down at a checkers board with you, you might think you’re playing a game of checkers — but they don’t. They think they’re playing a game of “flip the board and punch you in the eye.”

And unless they get kicked out when they try that, they are correct.

Embezzling?

People often ask me how they can donate to the cyberplace.social server. They can't, I can afford it.

Please donate to Mastodon centrally instead if you can afford it - the donor base is down about 30% year-on-year https://joinmastodon.org/sponsors

Did it actually use the Russian spelling Kiev, or the correct Ukrainian Kyiv, which allies have been making a point to use for years now? @Free_Press

@gangrif @XenoPhage watched it with our 2 oldest this year. Absolutely a Christmas movie.

That does sound like a good day. Enjoy!
