@ScottSoCal Yes, it’s so terrible. And he just dismisses the fact that his child was suicidal as if it wasn’t really true because of his own feelings about her transition. What a horrible person.

I know everyone has their thing. That one book they're crazy about. Mine happens to be Dennis E Taylors Bobiverse series. I cannot tell you how much I want to be a Von Neumann probe, fired far out into deep space beyond the Oort Cloud and away from all of this. Just replicant versions of myself to chat with in a VR pub. Much like how I treat Fedi.

Anyway - should anyone be interested.... there is finally a release date for book 5 (Not Till We Are Lost) - Sept 5 2024. The Bobiverse Series has also been optioned to Lord Miller Prods/Universal, so fingers crossed there.

The right is fearful about the prospect of a Black woman becoming president. The right is no champion for Black folks to vote either. Closing voting centers, purging voter registrations, etc. They can and will try some shenanigans . Make sure you are registered to vote. Pay attention to deadlines.

Musk not only deadnamed his daughter, but he doubled down on the deadnaming and justified it by saying he was doing it because his son was dead.

Oh, he also blamed COVID for his giving parental permission for her to transition and the “woke mind virus” (which he vows to kill) for her decision to do so.

He said all these things in a lengthy interview on X.

People legitimize that site by using it, giving Musk a bullhorn.

“She will not show up for the Prime Minister’s joint session of Congress… She’d rather address in the summer a sorority, a colored sorority, like she can’t get outta that!”

— Brian Kilmeade, on Fox & Friends, criticizing Vice President Kamala Harris.

Is this useful? I've been thinking about how to point out the adoption of a term to cover for racism.

a few things on this board make me smile every time I look at it

Well played, Parisian tourist shop.

Holy crap, I caught a pic of a bee in flight!

Also:

My neighbor, with a heavily fertilized and watered lawn and a couple flowerpots on life support: How do you get so many bees?

Me, with a yard full of flowering plants: How do you cultivate the bees' land?

Long-term goal: no grass, only bees.

listen Roadrunner I'm on your side but this just feels like cheating

We’ve cracked $125,000! Details to follow…. #MastodonForHarris

so my sister-in-law has a pretty "tomboy" 7ish-year-old niece who has a very short haircut (think young Haley Joel Osment) and her mother-in-law took the kid out grocery shopping last week. Kid was in a dress, princess headband, and carrying a wand because fuck it they're like 7 years old who gives a shit, right?

some fucking white trash piece of shit man in the store approaches her MIL and starts saying to her that what she's doing is "disgusting" and "wrong" and it is "sick" what is being "forced" on the kid

it took her about 3 seconds to realize just what the hell this trump-voting asshole was going on about before looking right at him and going: "first off, she's a girl. second, what the fuck is wrong with you?"

so yeah, these assholes exist and we're going to destroy them in november and make them cry

(thankfully, their niece had no idea what the heck was going on and simply just thought the 'big white man' was a 'jerk for yelling at grammy')

honestly, knowing 'grammy' that guy is lucky he didn't get his jacobs sliced off in the middle of the bread aisle Bricktop-style
