How to scare us into voting for dog shit candidates:
1. Scientific data proves Trump is dictatoring! We're doomed!
2. Unless...👀 wait a minute elections still work!
3. Oh, Trump is super unpopular with voters now! Guess they'll need a new political home 🤷♂️
It's the same article over and over again since 2016.
It's not trying to get us to fight authoritarianism. It's priming us to reject progressive ideas in fear of losing the mythical "reasonable republican".
AI actually is causing a lot of unemployment in tech.
Not because it has been able to successfully replace anyone's job, but because the big tech companies are all gambling so much on becoming trillionaires that they have to throw tens of thousands of workers into unemployment to pay for it.

Tiny bat for the timeline🥹
Hi #fediverse. We need to talk about something.
While talking to a colleague about how I recently learned most people have never sat on a cow it came up that she has never sat on a horse. Like, not even once during childhood.
Another colleague admitted they also have never sat on a horse.
My hypothesis is that most people have at one point in their life sat on a horse.

Have you sat on a horse?
Please boost for scientific accuracy.

Mastodon has a built-in system to prevent you seeing the same post boosted again and again. However, this system allows a boost to reappear after 40 other posts have scrolled through your timeline.
This worked fine in the old days when Mastodon was much quieter, but nowadays Mastodon is much busier and 40 posts can scroll quite quickly.
Here's a guide on workarounds for dealing with repeated boosts:

It's amazing and excellent to see @pluralistic 's term being touted and amplified by an entire national government...
