why is just wanting to be nice to people such a radical idea these days come on

humanity has some incredible talent, but damn do we also have some absolute dumb fucks too

Let's be clear: Trump's attacks on "antifa" are an attack on America. www.theverge.com/policy/79051...

if the government doesn’t show up for ten minutes we all get the day off

“The government shutdown isn’t republicans or democrats fault! it’s an inability to have healthy political discourse in America issue!” …and who stoked the conditions for healthy political discourse in America to fall apart?

This is the best elevator pitch I've seen from Dems on the shutdown.

Every time Republican politicians try to pin this shutdown on Democrat politicians, I hope they are rebutted with only this post. These posts are all that need to be said.

lmao what the fuck why do congresspeople still get paid during a shutdown absolute bullshit

Shortly after the inauguration, I cut off a Trump voting friend for dangerous rhetoric towards the LGBTQ+ community, libraries, and abortions to name a few. 9 months in and Trump is saying it is war against liberal cities and Cruz is saying we should be nicer to pedophiles.

one battle after another was incredible

glad I moved to @libreoffice a year and a half ago

I don’t think we have hit the final result of the mass COVID-19 lockdown work/life balance and life priorities readjustment a lot of people went through.

Tim Berners-Lee explains why he gave away the #www for free. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/sep/28/why-i-gave-the-world-wide-web-away-for-free "For the web to have everything on it, everyone had to be able to use it, and want to do so. This was already asking a lot. I couldn’t also […]

Reasonably sure Mastodon peeps like libraries and might like a peek at this wowzer I stepped into today. #dascdmx

In the morning, there is a period of my feed that is just the couple of the bots I follow posting in to the void and there is just something kind of beautiful about it.

me trying to see if I can just cut through some grass to hop on a running trail or if I need to run through a shopping center and alongside a highway

I love banana ball so much

BREAKING: Microsoft has blocked the Israeli military from some cloud and AI services. The block comes after The Guardian revealed last month that Microsoft’s services were being used for mass surveillance of Palestinians. Full details 👇 www.theverge.com/news/785733/...

I’ve been seeing lists of national advertisers on Sinclair and Nexstar to boycott and I think that’s incredibly unhelpful and possibly purposefully overwhelming so that people don’t do anything. Boycott LOCAL advertisers that are on LOCAL Sinclair & Nexstar stations. A local water damage repair […]

I am once again asking Joe Pera to summon the spirits and make a Joe Pera Talks With You Blu-Ray release happen

say what you want about America, but 13 bucks still gets you a hell of a lot of mice

A PSA that all of adult swim’s bumpers like off the air and ambient swim are on HBO Max and are a beauty. Currently watching a train navigate around a snowy Norway set to ambient tracks from Ghostly Records (one of my fav electronic labels)

Forgive me for sounding like an extremist, but if the purpose of society isn't to house, feed, and care for its members, what the fuck is the purpose?

Bro stole my oat bar and I didn't even notice him sneak up on me

Charlie Kirk never cared about debates.

“The bottom line: We have extraordinary power. We’re the vast majority. Like every other big corporation, Disney relies on us.” This, but for every corporation and government out there. Together we have power to flex and change anything we want, not just putting Kimmel back on the air. What […]

RE: https://mastodon.social/@pdimagearchive/115254096443784830 can anyone else do the 3D effect without the stereoscope? a bit harder to do on a phone screen than a stereogram for me personally, but it’s still impressive every time when I get my eyes to lock in

Fuck these guys. “The Trump administration canceled grants for street safety measures, pedestrian trails and bike lanes in communities around the country this month, each time offering a simple rationale for yanking back federal aid: the projects aren’t designed for cars.” […]

so in the case of Karen Attiah being fired from The Washington Post, how does one boycott something they never interacted with in the first place? What do you do if you’ve already cut out Bezo’s companies and never read The Washington Post? I guess the best answer is to support their next move […]

na-uh, if we can hold a grudge against Target the way we have for this long, it better take more than a tepid "oops jk LOL" followed immediately by a "look! baby yoda!!" trailer to be forgiving Disney. find a nerdy friend with a plex or become an anarchist nerd yourself, it is easy to do!

need some help brainstorming 2-4 max 7-letter word protest sayings! so far I’ve used and have planned: “fuck Trump + Kirk” “LGBTQ+ rights fuck ICE” I really wanted to use “see? boycotts work” today, but boycotts is too long and “strikes” isn’t the right message

still boycott Disney/ABC, but only tune in for Kimmel

>pays off student loan >credit score goes down remind me again why these things aren’t just a total scam?

taper week 1 of 2 begins today for the Fort Ben Half Marathon in October… a bit nervous about hitting my race goals now that the time for improving in training is over, but am going to try and trust the process and just do what I need to do on race day

The Lass Class was really good, highly recommend catching it while it lasts or on streaming when that happens. A lot about Reich’s work and some lessons on wealth & poverty, but what hooked me was his thoughts on getting older, closing out this long chapter of his life, and the transition from […]

my idea of a great sunday night? thanks for asking. attending a screening of a documentary (abt Robert Reich) at a local movie theater, coming home to work on a puzzle (Bluey playing in the background, ofc), and ending the night with Tron Legacy and spicy ramen. I love it here in my brain

Charlie Kirk was always a stupid guy. A mean SOB… Not working out too well for him right now. So, when you start feeling sorry for him, remember he was a bad guy.

“damn that’s a lot what a crazy… oh there’s zero sources for this outside of said X post”

The only streaming service I dont pirate is Dropout content because I genuinely respect those people and they deserve my $5 or whatever a month. Game Changer and Cloudward Ho are great btw

didn’t even know this was out, but got tickets this weekend to see Robert Reich’s The Last Class at the Kan-Kan!

Some guy in Danville has an Indystar Op-Ed telling IPS to give up all its schools🤣 www.indystar.com/story/opinio...

we have Disney+ bundled with a phone plan and from the billing page, it does not look like we are paying a separate line item for it nor is there a clear way to remove this benefit… if we have to keep the account, what are some ways to make our account hurt Disney more than the average user?

‘LOST’ creator Damon Lindelof pledges not to work with @Disney unless Kimmel is reinstated, and Matt Belloni says other Hollywood talent will likely soon do the same.

Every union that worked on the Jimmy Kimmel Show, and works with Disney, Sinclair Broadcasting, and Nextstar should strike. Just shut it all down. No one’s jobs are safe when corporations put appeasing fascists over workers and their constitutional rights.

I think both KGALW and now Massive Attack counts as "multiple major artists" https://pitchfork.com/news/massive-attack-say-theyll-remove-music-from-spotify

exactly the right framing for this. this is was not in any way a business decision unless you consider bending the knee in result of a threat from a government agency in order to get a merger through simply a "business decision" […]

guess what? if you buy your media or check it out from your local library, you don't have to pay, for example, Disney a monthly subscription to access that media! just in case no particular reason for this psa

I do feel like I got a lot of weird looks for pushing to go to open protocols, not having all your data with one company, VPNS, E2EE services and all of that after the election and I'm glad that I did. It is better to have these privacy systems in place BEFORE you need them.
