  1. So, #AI bots have found their way into the #Fediverse. Unpleasant, but probably unavoidable.

    From now on, it's crucial to pay very close attention to replies and DMs and not react reflexively.

    It's a shame that this garbage is infiltrating everything uninvited. Neither #respect nor #decency - just like its creators.

  2. KARMA-FREE TRUMP 💎

    Donald Trump does not need to be hated in order to be seen clearly.

    There is no need to imagine that #karma will #punish him.

    No need to turn him into the #supernatural embodiment of #evil
    No need to diagnose his soul.

    His vanity, grievance, cruelty, #fear ,appetite, and enormous need for #attention are serious enough.

    #Hatred does not improve our #perception.

    It distorts it.

    It makes the hated person larger, darker, and more #powerful in the #mind than they already are.

    It also gives them permanent residence in the #nervous #system.

    Trump should be opposed when he lies, harms, corrupts, intimidates, degrades institutions, or participates in or encourages cruelty.

    That opposition can be #firm.

    It should be relentless.

    It can name exactly what is happening.

    But hatred is not required.

    Nor is #spiritual #fantasy.

    No one knows what happens to Donald Trump after #death.

    No one knows whether the #universe keeps a #punishment #ledger.

    What is known, though, is that actions have consequences here.

    People are harmed.

    Truth is weakened.

    Fear spreads.

    #Cowardice becomes #contagious.

    But cruelty does not have to set the terms.

    #Kindness as strength can be encouraged in the face of cruelty.

    #Courage in the face of intimidation.

    #Truth in the face of deception.

    #Decency in the face of degradation.

    Restraint in the face of vengeance.

    #Clarity in the face of confusion.

    The task is not to hate the man.

    The task is to see clearly, speak plainly, protect those being harmed, and refuse to let cruelty decide who we become.

  3. It’s #Friday folks!

    Have the best #weekend you can.

    You know the drill:
    Be #kind
    Be #gentle
    Be #true
    Be like #bees

    And don’t just say you care, show you care.
    About #bees, #nature, #freedom, #decency, the #planet, your #future.
    The #truth.

    Go easy folks…but don’t go blinkered!

  4. I understand that many politicians are generally #corrupt as fuck, but just running roughshod over every shred of #decency and #fairness is today's hallmark of the #Republican Party.

    If you're not a #hypocritical sneering, #lying cheat and #crook, you're simply not good enough for today's #gop.

  5. I’m becoming more and more convinced that I must be an #Alien. People are seeming more and more strange to me. Aside from the biological aspects, I’m finding fewer and fewer things we have in common. Everything I consider human— #empathy, #social awareness, #decency, #equality, #kindness, #modesty (to name a few, list is incomplete)—is meeting with growing resistance in society. #Humanity is increasingly triggering #hate and #anger. This is fueled by #politics and despicable #demagogues who use #fear and #incitement to pit people against one another.

    #Democracy #Fascism

  6. A little bit of #history as we remember #decency, #education, and champions of #democracy such as #EleanorRoosevelt

    Her spirit and legacy live on.

    flic.kr/p/2j2eNjf

    In #TrumpVirus Season 1 (Pandemic),
    Eleanor was again a beacon for reason & right. In 2020, as millions died, some followed #science / #truth, & got the miracle vaccine. Deniers & #cult believers most of all, died, plus spread the disease, not wearing masks.

    Eleanor modeled how it's done.
    And MAGAts tore off her mask!

  7. In an open letter, the heads of leading #AI companies, scientists, and #biosecurity experts are imploring #policymakers to regulate them by law so that their machines do not develop #biochemical weapons.

    They will likely receive praise and recognition for this, even though the whole premise is flawed. Human decency is sufficient to prevent such things—that is, the ability to restrain and control oneself.

    The tragic reality, however, is that #decency is found only where it is unimportant. Once #power and the necessary means come into play, it stands no chance against #greed.

  8. @wdlindsy

    Bill. I look forward to your posts. I generally re-post every post. I find your work informative, useful, and thought-provoking.

    I have NOT read anything from you that seemed to be offensive, overly partisan, or objectionable to anyone with a sense of #morality #ethics or #decency

    That your informative work is being muted, blocked, or interfered with, is shameful.

    I would urge you to please continue your work on some other #mastodon instance.

    #censorship
    #journalism

  9. RE: mastodon.social/@RonSupportsYo

    Vice Pres. JD Vance admitted that he lied when he falsely claimed that "Haitian immigrants were eating cats and dogs."
    Those comments of JD Vance were racist, hateful, and they harmed many good America citizens.

  10. Nine Rules for #Moral #Decency That Should Be Followed Strictly and without Exception

    1. Look people in the face more often, particularly when you’re angry with them.
    2. If your colleague leaves the room, cover their cup of coffee with a napkin.
    3. Enjoy your moral behavior as best you can.
    4. If you’re not going to give money to that homeless person, send it to an organization for the homeless.
    5. Try not to contribute to the dying of the environment.
    6. Say hello to the cat. Avoid eating it if possible.
    7. Continue on your path of being a recovering racist, misogynist, homophobe, and so on.
    8. Create some #politics. After all, it created you.
    9. Enjoy reading #philosophy, even when it advises you to be better than you can reasonably be.

  11. "The World is Watching" - Sir #TrumpVirus #war on #decency #peace

    diaspora.glasswings.com/posts/

    He did NOT squash NATO, did nothing but brag about his saving us all, like nobody's ever seen before. Obliteration. Winning.

  12. Someone tell Trump THIS is what a real president looks like—he never spoke ill of others, even those like Trump who deserved it. #Leadership #Decency America’s great president @[email protected] highlights and unforgettable moments with American kids -Happy Sunday Per - Christina Lorey-

  13. Not even going to try to guess the rea$oning here.

    (Not enough distraction, beyond #war, from the #TrumpEpsteinFiles?)

    "I think what you’re witnessing right now is the initial steps of the empire, the American empire’s retreat from the Levant and the Middle East in general.

    I don’t think we’re going to be able to sustain our presence there after what’s going to happen here, particularly if we stay at this for a long time and really do take significant casualties."

  15. On my long #jobseeker journey every week I face a new #bottom. Emails not answered, meeting noshows (despite schedule in calendar tetris apps), being too slow at interview, hiring managers going to holiday in the middle of process that just started.

    This is not only #jobmarket issue, but this is #decency issue and inhumane treatment taking away remnants of #dignity.
