So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.

@Orla1@mstdn.party Especially when you consider that 30% is the most dedicated, when it comes to voting. Much of the country is being led by that 30%.
@BrentToderian @modacitylife@mastodon.world
The Dutch population is 17.5M, the US population is 331.9M. Assuming the same costs (which they aren't, because our healthcare treatment costs like-for-like are WAY higher) means $359B more in for-profit healthcare, meaning the investment class gets more money. Which is exactly what the system is supposed to do - make the wealthy even more wealthy. The problem isn't that we can't do the math, it's that our system has entirely different priorities.
This big boy showed up during daylight hours today. He is massive compared to everyone else who comes for dinner. There is a hierarchy to how things are done in nature. He eats first, and everyone knows it, but they still try to sneak a bite in, only to be chased off by him.
@Orla1@mstdn.party Only about 30% of it is very wrong. Another 10% is vaguely wrong, in a disinterested kind of way.
@benjaminwittes Members is the Derp State, talking about the Deep State.
Now Muskrat is claiming twitter interfered in the Brazilian election. I hope ppl understand what is happening here.
@MitchellA Why not philosophy? You're a gorilla, you hang out all day, just spending an hour or two to gather food for yourself. No distractions, no TV, no radio, no books. What else are you going to do but think about philosophy?

Grateful to earn a 25,000 strong Mastodon network.
Not simply because of the size of this growing community, but because of this growing communityβs compassion and commitment to justice. Iβm hopeful one day this platform will be 1M+ strong, but only if the commitment remains to lead with justice above all else.
Much love yβall. Thank you. β€οΈβπ½
@ifilljustice They should be focused on this, but they'll "both sides" it until it's a gray blur. They're more afraid of being painted as liberal media than they are of a coup.
It seems important that the immediate past President of the United States and the likely Republican nominee for President in 2024 has called for suspension of the Constitution. We cannot ignore the normalization of such an outrage. Every news show should be focused on this.
Worker pleads guilty in #election equipment tampering case
"Sandra Brown is one of two employees accused of helping Mesa County [#Colorado] Clerk Tina Peters allow a copy of a hard drive to be made during an update of election equipment last year in search of proof of the false conspiracy theories spun by former President Donald #Trump."
It's always projection!

@ayilathebailey And they're all crawling out from the dank, dark hiding places lately.
People who say #ElonMusk's selective disclosure of #Twitter internal docs "breathes new life into the #HunterBiden laptop story" miss the point. That's not the goal.
The goal is to inflate a different right-wing talking point, that "big tech is biased against conservatives". So Musk carries water for right-wingers who want to force tech companies to uncritically rebroadcast their propaganda AND he spins his Twitter acquisition as "essential to save 'free speech'."
That's what this is about.
AND let's just put this crap to rest. It wasn't dems screaming "fake news" to the ppl at twitter. It was the ppl who are smart enough to know it was "fake news".
If you followed me on twitter you know I spent A LOT of time down that rabbit hole. I'm the only one that I'm aware of who was tweeting about Rudy and trump trying to get Romania to manufacture dirt on Hunter Biden. He tried to get China to do it too. https://www.politico.com/news/2020/10/19/hunter-biden-story-russian-disinfo-430276
That's exactly what happened to the so-called "Liberal Press"... they were beaten down by right wing claims of "liberal media bias" and then went into both sides mode... and have stayed there... now rightwing and far rightwing media far out number the "legit press"..
This old tweet from Elon expressing sympathy for Ye after he tweeted an antisemitic threat did not age well...at all. π€¦ββοΈ
A woman was arrested for "chemical endangerment" for using drugs while pregnant. The problem: She wasn't pregnant. So officers released her, but told her if she gets pregnant in the next few month she will be re-arrested.
The people who told us we were overreacting when Roe was overturned were never arguing in good faith and also they were very wrong.
Corporate profits hit a record high of $2.1 trillion last quarter.
Folks, corporate greed is driving inflation, not workers asking for better wages.
