A long time ago I visited Auschwitz. The guide was a former inmate who had a number tattooed on his arm. I saw the gas chambers, the ovens, the piles of belongings. Beware when a group or groups are singled out as a βproblemβ. When Texas wants to compile lists of trans people, it rings a terrible historical bell. People say donβt be hysterical. People said that in 1933 too. We should know better. #politics #uspol #uspolitics

On another site I frequent, this would be where we tell you to go wait in the car, with Daddy Ray.
#JohnMastodon really isn't getting the level of appreciation that he deserves, if we're all being honest with ourselves.

βThose who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.β - as true today as it was 100 years ago.
Post.news is a Twitter clone thatβs being invested in by the same people that turned Twitter into 8chan in the first place. Why the fuck would we want to repeat the same mistake?

@patwashburn If you haven't already read it, Project Hail Mary, by Andy Wier, is a fantastic read.
Guy wakes up in what appears to be a hospital room with two desiccated bodies and a computer that's no help at all, with no memory of who he is, why he's there, or what he's supposed to be doing. Everything unfolds from there.
I spoke to a retired educator about the importance of teaching kids accurate US history. They lamented, "A student told me our military has raped & pillaged people in poor countries. I was horrified he said such misinformation. I sat him down & corrected him."
Y'allβ& I say this as the brother of a US Marineβour standard must be justice. Acknowledging that members of the US military committed such atrocity isn't anti-Americanβbut what true Patriotism looks like. Let's demand justice above all.
@derekvanvliet John needs to apply that to himself. I can't tell you how many times I've seen the lights on in his office, well after midnight. And he's always first one in, every morning.

@ScottSoCal @MeidasTouch Ha! That makes me think of this TED talk from yrs back: https://www.ted.com/talks/hasan_elahi_fbi_here_i_am?language=en
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.
