Do we need any more proof to realize that #Republicans and their fan base are traitors?

100 Leopards to Ukraine!
Denmark's Acting Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen said this at a briefing with Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov at the Ukraine β Odesa Media Center.
"We will start delivering Leopard 1 tanks to Ukraine before summer. And then, hopefully, looking half a year ahead, it will be possible for us to donate about 100 Leopard 1 tanks, and that, I'll say, would be a substantial thing for Ukraine's army," Poulsen said

If I want to give a genuine, nuanced answer to a hard question, I have to break eye contact, look away, and usually drastically change my body language as I process and share a response
Which is the exact opposite of what most neurotypical people expect to see from someone being genuine and openly honest
I should probably share that more, in case there are people who don't pick up on that
There are only a handful of topics where I will avoid either giving an honest answer or explaining why I won't. Those are not typical conversation topics.
@ScottSoCal @UncleDuke1969 If oxygen is good for me, why do my vitamins contain antioxidants?
Do you know how it feels to want to help someone you love but not knowing how?
I wrote a song about this feeling called Hopes, and my queer friends joined me for a video with fire spinning and knives throwing, emphasising the metaphysical aspect of a universe with endless possibilities. If you'd like, have a listen. I'd be happy to hear your thoughts.
Now that #NPR left #Twitter and many on #Mastodon are calling for it to come to the #Fediverse, maybe it's time for a recap, what we @heiseonline did?
Our account on mastodon.social (@heiseonline@mastodon.social) was registered (rather "claimed") years ago, but left dormant until #ElonMusk bought #Twitter. Then I started to post a couple of links to #news articles every day. Our web-devs (namely @entropie) verified the account some days later by adding a link to it on heise.de and giving it the green link.
π Hello #fediverse! I'm going into a meeting at 4ET to talk about our newsroom's social media options.
If you think our station and other #NPR stations should have a Mastodon server and a broader presence in the #fediverse, pls boost this post. If you have thoughts, please reply, I want to hear them!
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.
