We CAN write SF that obeys the laws of physics. Andy Weir (The Martian and others) does it extremely well, but for the most part it does rely on the willing suspension of disbelief. Where would we be without time travel and warp drives? 😁 -

"The internet has enabled people to find factoids to support every conceivable position, and then draw rational lines between them."
Jonathan Kay, in response to one of the questions in the debate I just posted.

@farbel If Hell opens up & swallows them -- then it's
#TrumpsLittleJohnson
Not much to hope for there.

@farbel It’s a matter of principle. The party has lost their way. #VotersRights ? Seriously? They’re putting a gun to his head to step down. I understand everything, I have always voted. I will vote, but I will vote for the candidate I voted for in the primary. If their new candidate loses to tfg, it will be on the party who ignored voting rights.

@farbel @petnoodle
I've become very News Lite as the 21st century continues. Most of the traditional news media is heavily influenced by their advertisers. I have several indie Canadian news sources including #Taproot (#YEG), @thetyee, and #CanadasNationalObserver.A lot of the current events that hit the news appear here, including the bloody ear incident. That filtered version is enough for me but if something really piques my interest, I search for more info.

@farbel Influencing #US #foreign_policy has always been a heavy lift. Back in 1968 #antiwar #protests forced #LBJ out only for us to end up with #Nixon and an even worse #Cambodia #bombing campaign. People say #Trump or #Biden makes no difference... for #white #people perhaps. On the other hand, Trump 2.0 will rain down hell on #immigrants, particularly #Muslims and #Latinos. Trump brags about #MassDeportations. Remember the #ICE raids? Many more #POC will be swept up in the next one.
In addition to #StateViolence #authoritarians establish a #PermissionStructure of #violence against disfavored groups. During the last Trump administration, #MassShootings of minorities and synagogues was rampant. I'm voting for #Biden2024 not because I'm a fan, but because I am thinking of all the people Trump will hurt in the US. #Voting one's #conscience in the #2024Election is a choice between a soiled conscience or a dead one.

@farbel It's sad whenever a pronoun and its possessive form are confused. And an apostrophe's job is to indicate possession or contraction, not denote plural apostrophes. Those who aren't gramnarians often fail to grasp a grammarian's point about plurals, to many grammarians' lament. 😁 #Illustrative

@DonChacale @farbel @spreadthetruth @retech
it really is
these fucking fake leftists
they whine and whine
they don't fucking #vote
in their immature minds they think magic perfect #candidate descends from the clouds, *then* they vote, and everyone lives happily ever after
fucking idiocy
1. you pick better or worse
2. you sustain
3. you iterate to better
but!
this takes effort and time
useless whiny entitled pieces of shit don't like that
so they don't vote and help give us #fascism

Maybe? I hope they get implemented in such a way that they won't be suitable for abuse (which is why we haven't had them until now).
I also wonder how they will be implemented within #AcrivityPub and how they'll look on non-mastodon instances, as I'm not actually on Mastodon (I'm on GoToSocial).
P.S., I always found it humorous to hear people aggravatedly clamoring for "Feature Y from Xitter," since I clearly remember when Twitter had:
- No pictures
- No videos
- No (automated) retweets
- No actual repiles!!!
- Only mentions

[PLEASE BE CONSIDERATE AND CLEAR TAGS & HANDLES BEFORE REPLYING TO THIS TOOT]
I just wanted to send out a big massive thank you to everyone who has supported #Dgar and #DgarMusic during the release of my debut solo album. It's been absolutely amazing, and I have really felt the love.
From the #FediRadio crowd to hard-working reviews folk, to the amazing fans that have bought copies, held streaming parties, or just gave my #music toots a boost, like, share, or comment.
There are people I'd like to shout out, starting with my wife @Cilla who has supported my work on the Dgar Project from the beginning.
Love a Brother Radio:

@elalaI've definitely missed people here that absolutely deserve the shoutout, and I apologise to those who should be on this list but aren't. If I were able to list everyone, this toot would have listed several hundred accounts. Sending big love to you whether I missed your name or not!
Thank you all!! 🫶

I guess it was syndicated from byline times?
Mussayev claims he was personally aware of #Trump's recruitment in 1987 by his KGB department, the 6th Directorate, which focused on recruiting business leaders from Western countries.
The article mentions Trump's first wife, Ivana Zelníčková, and her reported ties to the Czechoslovak security service, the #StB, which formally cooperated with the #KGB. This connection suggests a potential vulnerability or channel of influence.

#LauraBenanti, the #actor who plays #MelaniaTrump on #LateNight with #StephenColbert, was featured on #Elsbeth last night. So distracting. I couldn't unsee Melania.

#MehmetOz is a fucking moron
"Dr. Mehmet Oz, the administrator of the Centers for #Medicare and #Medicaid Services and another task force member, has frequently pointed to California’s hospice industry as a prime example of fraud, noting that a third of all hospice providers were in one city: #LosAngeles."
25% of #California's population is in #LA. and a good 10% in surrounding communities with no hospice facilities. #FuckTrump and his #TV administration.

Pedantic pet peeve of the day.
"On accident."
NO, please.
The correct phrasing is "by accident," or "accidentally."

#RightWing #pundit and #neverTrumper #DavidFrench did a hit piece on #GrahamPlatner, the #Democrat running for #Senate against #SusanCollins of #Maine. There was a lot to respond to. I chose these two points.
