    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? 😁

    Jonathan Kay, in response to one of the questions in the debate I just posted.

  4. @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.

    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.

  10. @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.

  11. My painted mannequin returns in collage number nine, this time with a topiary "hat". She is superimposed against a background of corn plants photographed in Maine. There is a slice of Guatemalan toys curling up on the left, and at the bottom is a Volkswagen beetle taxi from Taxco, Mexico.

  12. This third collage in the series uses graffiti from Camaguey, Cuba, black and white images of a mannequin that I painted, and brightly colored woven fabric from Guatemala.

  13. @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

    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

    right, typical #toxicIdealism

    "dems kill palestinians, i'll never vote dem"

    and thus we get trump and many more dead palestinians

    while if you vote dem, you get less dead palestinians

    that should matter to you

    but no

    what matters to you is impossible purity

    not the reality you live in

    thus you have a big heart

    and no fucking brain:

    your nonvote, in reality, *harms* palestinians

  25. [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.

    I'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!! 🫶

    Zur Fahndung ▶️ t1p.de/ngnbh

    👮 Die bisherigen Fahndungsmaßnahmen der Kriminalpolizei führten zu keinen weiteren Erkenntnissen. Auch die Überprüfung möglicher Hinwendungsorte blieben bislang ohne Erfolg.

    👥 Personenbeschreibung
    Der Vermisste hat eine Halbglatze mit weißen Haaren. Zuletzt trug er offenbar eine lange Radlerhose, eine blau-weiße Trainingsjacke und war mit seinem schwarzen Herrenrad unterwegs, an dem eine schwarze Satteltasche mit roten Farbelementen angebracht sein dürfte.
