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, VP Harris, donβt debate the jackass on Fox βNews,β which isnβt even a legitimate news outlet; itβs pure fascist propaganda.
Trump is a useful idiot who canβt survive any debate without being tossed softballs that he can barely catch. Heβs worse with hardballs. Lastly, Cadet Bone Spurs hasnβt got any balls.

If you find yourself wondering why your feed on Mastodon is incredibly hostile or toxic, spend a few minutes going through the worst offending posts and see who's posting or boosting them.
I did this and discovered that the worst offenders were a small handful of accounts that were constantly boosting or posting very negative stuff. Once they were removed from my feed (it was like only like three or four accounts), everything improved dramatically.
Even in this country, cis straight white men are less than 25% of the population. They just *think* they're a majority. And act like it.
Toilets that signal *what* the infrastructure is, rather than *who* can enter.

I just had a very satisfying visit from a local MAGAt, once again running for office (and destined to lose).
He handed me a flyer, introduced himself, and I interrupted him to tell him to stop filing lawsuits against the city, he was wasting my tax dollars, and I wouldn't vote for him till hell froze over.
I understand your feelings, but I have never known anyone who didn't have a little bit of weird rattling around in them.
The ones who claimed (and worked hard to prove) they weren't even a little bit weird? They're the weirdest ones of all.
As a weirdo, I have mixed feelings about the use of 'weird' to attack the far right.
Obviously, it's accurate. Also it seems to rattle them, and I appreciate that.
I just can't help worrying about people reinforcing the stigma against weirdness without registering what they're doing.

re: Uspol
Fun fact: The name of the original book was a typo that they decided to keep. The original title was The Shart Of The Deal.
FWIW, that is a Fox "News" talking point.
The base premise of the statement - that border crossings have increased - is incorrect. They're down.
The premise on top of that - that Harris can or should be standing at the border herself - is also wrong. She was meeting with the countries where the immigrants are coming from, trying to find a way to reduce the flow at the source.
The final premise - that she's done badly - is also wrong. Border crossings are down.

Harry: "Whenever I search for "Kim and Paris" I get these two random people, who even are they? It seems one is a Cardassian?"
How do you pronounce it?

Last time he had the home court advantage. He controlled the military, the national guard, and the Capital Police. This time he doesn't have that.
Instead they're lining up "poll watchers" to try to intimidate people into not voting, and he's recruited elections officials from the district/county level up to Secretaries of State, to screw with the vote counts. He's trying to sneak in, this time.
I saw it, I didn't think it was hostile. It was definitely "don't try to feed me a line of bullshit" - something I think he's needed for a long time. But hostile? No.
Now if she'd asked something like "Why are you such a racist sack of shit?
That would have been hostile.
What's most fascinating to me about the discourse around the #NABJ Trump interview is how many people think Scott's opening question was "hostile". It really reflects the reality of so many #BIPOC folks-- where literally just saying that someone has done something racist (especially in the workplace), even just repeating back their own racist words/ actions, (no matter *what* tone you use) gets you labeled "hostile" or "aggressive" or "angry". Saying the question was "hostile" speaks volumes.
To be fair, Russia used to have more friends, but a lot of them fell out of open windows, fell down stairs, or got mugged while out walking near the Kremlin.
Windows, stairwells and Kremlin walks are apparently the leading cause of death in Putin's Russia.
