@spaeschke what I'm saying is NOBODY BENEFITS from me mingling with these folks. My mental health & physical safety suffer, & they drag moderate people to their extreme views. I've been watching this shit escalate for decades & I'm done. It is simply not possible for me to have an "echo chamber" ~if i leave my house ever~ LOL. 😂

People are so worried about "echo chambers" when it's sensible people/marginalized people trying to find safe/sane spaces. But like, where has keeping "diverse" spaces gotten us? In the sense of, where is the reward for allowing conservatives and bigots into common spaces? It hasn't made them more reasonable. It's just made us less safe, again and again, and normalized fascism and hate as valid and acceptable viewpoints instead of toxic ones that should be pushed out.

Wrote some irate thoughts on Musk and Trump, for The Atlantic.

"This entire incident is terrifically stupid. The story revolves around the whims of two wealthy and self-involved men who enjoy nothing more than public attention. It is an enormous waste of everyone’s time, and I resent having to think about it."

Two wealthy and self-involved men are seeking the attention they crave.

#OTD in 1970, the Oregon Highway Division consulted with the U.S. Navy and decided the best way to dispose of a whale carcass was to blow it up with a 1/2 ton of dynamite. The explosion caused blubber to rain down on spectators for over a 1/4 of a mile. The TV segment is classic.

Picked up this series of audio tapes at the vintage market this morning. So I’m prepared in case the lord of lies descend on my home to try to steal my blessing.

I live in London. If you wonder what living with high #inflation feels like, Tesco’s is currently selling 9 rolls of toilet paper for more than 10£. #costoflivingcrisis

Dark time in Trump's inner circle. Spoke to several longtime friends, donors, and aides in the past 24 hours. Many say he's listening to very few people, isolated, and meanspirited about his potential rivals. Several of them say they're tired of his rants and are avoiding him.

Can I ask you Mastodon vets out there, what is with the content warnings on absolutely benign images? I click on some gaussian blurred image frame bracing myself for either war crimes or boobs; and it turns out to be a dog, a park, maybe Nancy Pelosi giving a speech.

What gives?
