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.

My parents were (probably still are) fundamentalist wackjobs. It made things interesting.

I used to tell people I bitterly resented being promised flying cars and didn't get one, but one day I was walking around someone's backyard, having a video chat with someone 3 states away on my tablet, and I stopped and realized "Oh, yeah, this is the future. This, right here."

I don't think so. My life was much the same, in a small town in Utah. My haven was the public library, and I went where ever I wanted, and got books from every section (but lived in the Science Fiction section). It let me know there was a lot more out there than I ever saw in my little town, and gave me hope that I could be part of it.

Secret Service was in touch with the #OathKeepers. An agent described himself as βthe unofficial liaison to the Oath Keepers (inching towards official),β and called the fascist group "very pro-LEO and pro-Trump." Said they were defending Trumpers from violent leftists.
The #MAGA rot runs deep.
I'm always looking for something fun to read - thanks!

Yurii Hnatkevych has been a nationalist since he was a child. He used to dream that #Ukraine would become independent from the Soviet Union, but he never thought it would actually happen.
He especially did not believe that he would vote for it himself as a member of parliament.
βI didn't believe it. I'm honestly telling you. None of the deputies believed that they would vote for the Declaration of Independence, and then for Independence itself," he told The #Counteroffensive.

Me, earlier this week:
I really need to go outside and take a walk, but I'm in a meeting with the customer, talking about solder terminations on a populated PCB, and I'm the subject matter expert, so they'd notice if I slipped out.
But if they ask me to explain one more time about the difference between cold solder and disturbed solder, I think I'm going to scream.
Weevils wobble but they don't fall down.
Mastodon, I proudly present to you⦠the perfect weevil.
I gave up over 83 million followers on Twitter to be on Mastodon full time. Yes, as I'm sure many of you have guessed by now, I am Lady Gaga.

Stochastic terrorism is "the public demonization of a person or group resulting in the incitement of a violent act, which is statistically probable but whose specifics cannot be predicted." Donald Trump has been using social media to blast prosecutors, judges, and witnesses, and his followers have answered with calls for violence. If the ex-president is a stochastic terrorist, what should we do in response? https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/donald-trump-stochastic-terrorist-threats
