I am once again reminded of how much I loathe everyone who didn't vote for Harris in 2024. Here's example 214567 of why the candidates were not all the same.

So...who sold my phone number to every Democrat campaigning for office? I have enjoyed tell Moulton's people that he's a bigot, but that doesn't make up for all of the other messages.

It's funny that anyone thinks I'm ever going to sign a petition or make a donation to an organization again.

The more I read about tech and the people making a good amount of money off of it, the more I don't want to use it.

Well played, gentlemen. Because I think every #kpop fan gagged over the new Asian Pop Music Performance category a few weeks ago.

Confession: I still can't name all BTS members, and Arirang is the first album of theirs I've delved into, but I *love* this. Here's hoping they're starting to realize what bs the Grammies are and don't submit ever again.

I beg you, pay attention to what @gerrymcgovern is saying here. (FYI, the slave labor in question is being forced from the Uyghurs--remember them?)

The point is NOT that we need to keep using fossil fuels; the point is that we need to significantly reduce our energy consumption, regardless of source.

(Do NOT have something in your profile about how antifascist you are and then come say that slave labor and environmental degradation are a worthy trade off for cheap panels)

Hit me with your best #classical #music suggestions. (Please!)

Did I mention that @gerrymcgovern is talking about his latest book, *99th Day: A Warning About Technology* with my climate action organization on 3/26? Because he is! 1 PM EST--but you're welcome to register from another time zone.

Gerry does not pull any punches about how bad it is--and where the harms are happening--but this is also a book that isn't condemning us to doom, but rather showing us how to stop the madness. Reality, not "copium".

When you think of #mining think of murder, and I am not exaggerating. We are not getting into utopia aka the #greentransition on the backs of vulnerable populations.

I'm two episodes away from finishing #kdrama #IlJiMae Got to say, up until episode 13, this felt like homework, and I don't mean because of the historical content. I need things a little tighter.

Also, admittedly, my enjoyment was tempered by the knowledge that the second lead was credibly accused of sexual assault.

The court cited English king Charles I in its judgment.

Yoon was not the only one sentenced.

Fight a fascist, you just might win.

This is about #southkorea This is also about #uspol

I do like #kdrama but I love Korean movies more because it's nice to finish something in less than three hours (or 12 episodes). They've been harder to find the last few years, for several reasons, but I watched *The Boss* this weekend. Hilarious. Lee Sung Min, obviously, stole every scene he was in, but only because he didn't share scenes with Lee Kyoo Hyung. (Yeah, yeah, the leads were funny, too.)

More Korean films I can access, please!

If Patel published more often, he'd be the only thing I read. If nothing else, he has suggestions.

RE: https://mastodon.green/@gerrymcgovern/115847646670277025

I'm trying to imagine what the world looks like to people who approve all of this mining. Do they think every spot they conceive of exists in a vacuum?

#kdrama crowd, I'm looking for recommendations. My husband and I are watching #TaxiDriver3, but that's it. I'm actually more of a movie person than a drama person, so I'll take both recs.

I'll watch some zany comedies, but my speed is more thriller and/or ridiculous action scenes (swear to god, this only applies to Korean-language entertainment). Hit and Run Squad, Vagabond, Mouse are among my favorites.

My husband likes sageuk, I will tolerate it.

Thank you!
