Wandered in from the hellscape the bird-site became, but kind of always was... Left for good and deactivated there on 19 Nov 2022.

In the interest of filling out my Home feed, I'll follow almost anyone who follows me, BUT I'm gonna check your feed first to make sure we're compatible and that you're for real. No offense.

AI will magically solve various complex social, economic, and political problems

I've lived through this cycle a few times before https://www.slowboring.com/p/im-skeptical-that-powerful-ai-will

I'm skeptical that powerful AI will solve major human problems

Unless it takes over the world — which I would prefer to avoid

“Feinstein leaves us now with no choice but to assume the worst about her motivations. Her failure to retire — and before that, her decision to run for reelection despite her advanced age — can be chalked up to arrogance.”

Seems like this petition should get a little Mastodon love too…#StarTrekLegacy

Make STAR TREK LEGACY with Terry Matalas as Showrunner!

Can you spare a minute to help this campaign?

I don't know what's worse. McCarthy and GOP refusal to pay US debts they incurred or CNN's giving Trump a friendly Town Hall as if he wasn't an impeached, indicted former president who tried to destroy our democracy. What do you think?

Hello Mastodon

I haven’t been on for a while. So busy at work. I haven’t given up on Mastodon as I like it here. 🖖

@juddlegum

The circular logic of the bigot.

1. Create a society where every hurdle imaginable is placed before the target of bigotry
2. Blame the target for failing to run the gauntlet of oppression successfully.

The exact same arguments are used against immigrants, women, the poor, the disabled,...

It's why Republicans billionaires fund these narratives.

To justify the systemic nature of their racism, misogyny, xenophobia, antisemitism, homophobia, & now trans.

A TX man w/AR-15 killed 5 people "execution style." Two female victims were killed lying on top of 2 surviving kids & 3 surviving kids were covered in blood. All b/c they asked him to stop shooting while their baby slept.

This GOP "well regulated militia," has this month alone killed people for:
•Sitting in the wrong car
•Knocking on wrong door
•Turning into wrong driveway
•Attending the wrong birthday party
•Basketball rolls into the wrong lawn
•Asking the wrong neighbor to let your baby sleep

If you're tweeting today that AR-15 isn't the problem and that it's not even the most powerful gun or that 2nd Amendment rights shall not be abridged or AR stands for armalite, I already understand you think that gun is far more important than the lives lost repeatedly to it.

Just saw this on someone’s house.

I’ll be late getting where I’m going because I’m afraid to look away, or even blink…

I'm torn. Half of me really wants to give #Bluesky a try, while the other half wonders if it's better that I can't get in yet due to the waitlist...
