A truly lovely book!

It seems likely that we'll begin hearing from GOP candidates distancing themselves from the rapist in chief. The only question the press should ask is "Where were you when it mattered?"

Nature is so cool.

I feel this. The comments over on lobste.rs are ... interesting.

Is the point of programming the production of "software"?

What if, just if, it isn't?

Luxury! When I was a child, computers hadn't been invented, and if you've never had a file drawer stuck into your bottom, well, let me tell you, it's an experience!

I am not pro-violence in any sense.

That said, if some folx wanted to start eating the very rich, I might look the other way.

Vote! Vote for the lesser evil, every time. We'll whittle away at the evil.

Maybe we can prosecute some criminals, and chow down in some rich along the way.

Please let's get these stupid evil crass grifters out of office ASAP, even if we just replace them with slightly less stupid evil crass grifters. Start a trend toward intelligent good civil workers.

This is important, and speaks the truth. I wish my "AI"-using friends would heed it.

Good point, really.

Two stars!

Five stars for these two stars!

I can't live in rage all the time.
I can't live in shame all the time.
I can't live in horror all the time.
I have to look away.
I have to think of other things,
of nice things, happy things.

Denial sometimes seems like the only way to survive.

But I know. Folx are hurting. Evil abounds.
I do what I can, when I can.

I laugh, I smile, I enjoy things.
But I do not forget.
I will not forget.
I support as I can.
And I vote.

Hello, loves!

Bit of a Dilemma
I have two items in my queue and I don't think I can address them in parallel. What shall I do?
Contains brief LLM-AI slur.
May contain footnotes.

So, I don't know, but it seems to me that if someone toots something public, it should be ok to reply to it, unless that very toot requests no replies. Even then it would seem odd to me.

I know that others feel differently. I just don't get it. In particular how are we supposed to know when we can and when we can't?

Is this a conversation medium, or just a publishing medium? If the latter, why is there a reply button?

Reply to this or don't, as you wish.

I have recently read books by two well-known authors who think that Corvettes have back seats. They have never had back seats. Why doesn't everyone know this?

This seems likely to be important. I hope it offers some answers. The current system leads to Hunger Games or worse.

Perhaps I should apologize for being a cis-het old white man.
But honestly none of those are my fault.

People paste this cat face into all kinds of things. What does it mean, does it refer to something i should know about?

RE: https://dair-community.social/@emilymbender/117174255997285841

My friends, please give these thoughts very serious consideration.

I'm no expert, but isn't intentionally destroying one's own country treason?
