@davidgerard @cassidy @firefoxwebdevs Even the goalposts are slop now.

@benroyce @Thumper1964 Hmmm... didn't read him that way. He did complain about the current crop of Dems, but missed him saying he wasn't going to vote. In fact, he said he did vote Dem in 2024.

@woozle @suzannealdrich @blogdiva @ellie @chieroglyph yes, winter markets are overpriced winter gimmicky food and nicknacksI haven't been to the German/Austrian ones though, maybe they're less naff vs ours.

@AngelaScholder indeed, hence my concern! I’ve been doing fieldwork in Greenland every year for the last four years, this is the first time I’ve had to take a threat of war seriously

@8124 @stefan @elena good! I think there are social pressures possible, such as blocking servers that don't respect advisory flags.

@benroyce all good!

@tzimmer_history The greatest tragedy of this tragedy will be the failure to gird the soft underbelly of democracy-reform the court-eliminate the electoral college-democratize the senate-entrench voting rights-eliminate the philibusterDemocrats just want to 'go back to the way it was" which clearly wasn't working.

@nancywisser Well, it’s only in NYC for now. Here’s hoping they get enough blowback that it doesn’t spread — and maybe ends there, too. But who knows?

@randahl Don't expect consistency. People who make vulgar displays of power can't be bothered with such tedious matters. If people can predict what you're going to do, you're not displaying enough power.I almost feel like the inconsistency is a feature, not a bug. It shows he can do literally anything.

@jeridansky Hmmm. This reminds me of "Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean there isn't someone out to get me."Only now in 2026, it's "Just because it's fake doesn't mean it's not true."

@coolbean been sayong this

@jeridansky mine too, Jeri! Thank you for the reminder: will try to pop out today to grab bread at Rosalind and go for a short walk in Pacifica.

btw: when Bush & Cheney were getting ready to invade #Iraq, i started translating news from EU & Latin America that were not being reprinted or followed up by USA media. BBC, El Pais, they would block americans from their sites. L’Express never did; neither news sites from Canada, México, Brasil. so i was a one-woman RSS feed, circumventing geoblocks, quote posting (yes, they existed before twitter) what caught my eye or blogging full translations. USA media has never been trustworthy.

@fiore toki pona's closest thing to a universally recognised swear word literally means "broken". the vocab is too small for slurs

@ellynelly

@metagrrrl Just an intriguing mystery, then!

I'm really glad that 40% of unemployed/retired/can't work people are making the most out of their time, doing nothing or fun stuff.I should have added a category for anyone who'd felt like "none of the above really applied". Many of my older friends struggle with retirement. Especially former teachers who attached a great deal of self-worth into their work.On unemployed livability:- Can't afford survival - 9%- Surviving - 56%- Comfortable - 34%Given both the job market, the state of recruiting, and the impending financial/political instability, I'm really worried about these numbers. "Surviving" doesn't usually last long.(If you're in the can't afford survival camp, don't be afraid to put up a mutual aid post or to seek help from food banks or community groups. Your survival is important.)4/n

@jack @medmastodon Wow! That is SO COOL!

What do I want you to know, watching from far away?I want you to know that if you are not hearing about ICE swarming all the hell over my city, you are not hearing the actual news.I want you to know that if all you see is video of ICE marching off Very Dangerous Criminals in an orderly and authoritative way, you are not hearing the actual news.I want you to know that these turds act tough, but run away • every • time • they think too many people are watching or there might be video.4/
