Suddenly wondering if the very public red-pilling of Elon Musk is just a giant play to get conservatives to buy Teslas.

Last night I dreamed that Skinny Puppy was the duo of Al Jourgensen and Alain Jourgensen, who were unrelated, like the Taylors in Duran Duran. @electricalWSOP, is that how you remember it?
@georgetakei your Tesla robot can carry your Tesla phone to your Cybertruck that you drive on the California hyperloop, right?
Depressing to see so many smug posts about the lack of conservative voices on Mastodon. I'm not conservative, but I'm interested in what conservatives are saying. Any liberal should be. If we all sort into left and right social media platforms, it's a real loss.
We just got an induction stove, and I keep thinking of it as an inception stove.
@nonstick yeah, much to be done. I've heard a lot about how virtuous it is around here, and that too reminds me of the early Internet, which was white and college educated and male and heavily Gen X (the guys who now run tech companies and vote overwhelmingly Republican).
@Treppenwitz Community garden is a good metaphor. I feel like I'm at the Park Slope Co-op. Everyone tells me it's better, so I want to see why, and why seems to be that everyone says so. Now go to work if you want to stay, and beware our politics of virtue! I'm frustrated that my social network options are Dubai -- shiny, fancy, run by sociopathic autocrats -- or a hippie commune where there's arguments over whether to use CW for potentially triggering content and search is forbidden.
@jbf1755 this is interesting. First, yes, words are powerful and can harm. Agree with your whole post.
Just wondering if calling speech "missiles" made it easier to begin firing actual missiles. Like, if you think you've been firing them already, is it less of a shock to start shelling Ft. Sumpter?
