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.

Please stop laughing at CatGPT. Please stop sharing this picture. It's not funny. This is a slippery slope. It might only meow for now, but what's next? What will our cats do if CatGPT takes their jobs? Do we really want artificial intelligence to sleep all day? To scoff at the $50 worth of cat food you just purchased? To knock your full glass of water over and feel zero remorse when it shatters on the floor? Call me a Luddite, but I believe we must destroy CatGPT to protect our feline friends.
The Russian people largely support what Russia is doing in Ukraine. Even when they know civilians, children, teenagers are being tortured and murdered by Russians, they support it.
I tried very hard to keep the Russian people separate from the Russian government in my condemnation, but after a year I think they're getting exactly what they want, and I despise them.
Over 200k Russians have died. Under 20k Ukrainians have died. Russia is losing. Putin so vastly underestimated the resolve of the Ukrainian people and Volodymyr Zelenskyy. It needs to end. Or the Russian people should revolt.

Today is one year since Russia illegally invaded Ukraine.
Few of us really knew much about Ukraine.
One thing we did know was that President Zelenskyy was blackmailed by donald trump.
Had Zelenskyy strayed from his morals, we easily be in the midst of donaldβs second term now.
We would no longer be part of NATO, and I have no doubt donald would have sent American troops to help Russia topple Kyiv.
Our good fortune of having ousted donald from office is, in part, due to President Zelenskyy being a man of morals and courage.
Without aid from the USA, he knew Russia could annex Ukraine, and he did the right thing despite risking the annihilationοΏΌ of his nation.
Thatβs one of the reasons why I stand firmly in support of the aide we have given Ukraine.
We still have a chance to save our democracy, because Zelenskyy is a man of integrity. donald could not corrupt him.
That means something.
The problem with the #media is still 'the unfamiliarity of [its] almost entirely white decision-makers with ppl. different from themselves. [It's] not just about black ppl. or #Hispanics or poor ppl. or #LGBTQ [It's] an insensitivity to the interests & concerns of non-elites, whoever they may be. The problem with the #US #Press is learning how to be relevant to the concerns of ordinary ppl.'

As Little Man has gotten older, he's stopped scrambling out of my chair when I come into the room. now he just looks at me. It's become his chair, apparently.
Well. Bless her little pea-picking heart.

PSA: Before you defederate an entire instance due to Russian bots posting Nazi spam, check first to see if it's a Ukrainian instance and whether all the spam is from the last 24-48 hours or so. Russians are hijacking Ukrainian instances (sometimes during power outages) and posting Nazi spam to get these instances defederated. You can limit the instance and suspend individual accounts until the admins are able to clean up.

Iβve been making some more #papermache #birds. It was meant to be 3 #starlings, but as I sculpted them, one of them turned out to be a green woodpecker, and I was powerless to argue!

If you're going to go for Pete, there's just one thing you need to remember:
Don't.

In the wake of the recent train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, Republicans like Marco Rubio are trying to rewrite history and somehow blame Pete Buttigieg for the disaster.
Now Pete is firing back with receipts and I am so here for it: https://www.comicsands.com/rubio-blames-buttigieg-ohio-derailment-2659455458.html?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=toot&utm_campaign=sand
Today is the 3-year anniversary of the murder of Ahmaud Arbery, a black man who was lynched while jogging in Georgia. Although his killers were (eventually) convicted, that isn't justice as it doesn't bring him back to his family or take away the terror that such hate crimes cause all Black people to feel. Cases like his are on my mind when I go for a jog. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Ahmaud_Arbery

I never eat at restaurants that say "just like Grandma made it" cause I'm not up for Vicodin and wig hair in my food
