There are people who truly believe voting doesn't matter, and I get that, BUT if it truly doesn't matter then why are the Conservatives fighting so hard to stop minorities and women from voting, and trying to restructure districts? You don't fight against something that isn't a problem. The reality is that a large enough of a majority doesn't agree with them, and they know it.

I never predicted I would say this, but right now Mastodon is technically more stable than Twitter is. What a shit show e-musk made that place become.

Everyone* is going to be there, they did the work so the Brands were there on day one being all Brand-y, all the influencers and Creators are there, plus there are enough early 21st century mall cops around so the Nazis aren't *too* visible. It'll be packed and Elon is fucked. The amount of prep work Meta must've done to get all those blue checks lined up on day one, they know how to run their advertising businesses.

Watching two tech bros with user-data-driven commercial social media sites mocking how much personal data the commercial social media site of a third tech bro collects is hilarious in a totally hellish kind of 21st century way. Hope you’re enjoying the non-data collecting non-commercial one right here 🐘

If Jack Dorsey & Elon Musk (who are friends) merely wanted to run a MAGA site full of fascists, they could have just bought Parler & saved themselves approx 43.999 billion dollars. What they wanted was to cripple the sad remnants of investigative journalism, and the political left, which successfully used Twitter for political organizing, activism & messaging throughout the Trump regime. Why would anyone who cares about either of these things go to Jack's #Bluesky project.

the idea of being visited by aliens lost its appeal when i realized they’d likely just be some other planet’s asshole billionaires

I just read another news article about why mastodon didn’t make it and is dying. It’s very sad to hear and probably explains why I have to keep adding more server capacity to handle all the people quitting mastodon.

Musk is an abusive narcissist. I just jumped on Twitter to check something, and I immediately started thinking about the 600 limit. There was an uneasiness, a stress. Don't read too many things! Need to keep some "reads" available if needed later! That unease and uncertainty is classic abuser behavior. And when he steps in and allows things to go back, Twitter users will feel a gratefulness to him. He's a sick mother fucker. #FuckTwitter #FuckElon

Elon: We had all these things called 'data centers', you see. And they were everywhere, and I don't know why you'd need all your data in so many places, so I just closed a bunch of them. Man, I'm fucking KILLING this job.

Attached: 2 images This is hilarious. It appears that Twitter is DDOSing itself. The Twitter home feed's been down for most of this morning. Even though nothing loads, the Twitter website never stops trying and trying. In the first video, notice the error message that I'm being rate limited. Then notice the jiggling scrollbar on the right. The second video shows why it's jiggling. Twitter is firing off about 10 requests a second to itself to try and fetch content that never arrives because Elon's latest genius innovation is to block people from being able to read Twitter without logging in. This likely created some hellish conditions that the engineers never envisioned and so we get this comedy of errors resulting in the most epic of self-owns, the self-DDOS. Unbelievable. It's amateur hour. #TwitterDown #MastodonMigration #DDOS #TwitterFail #SelfDDOS

Since Trump's lead is widening after clearly violating the law, can we dispense with the notion that rural America is simply misunderstood and justly aggrieved? Nah, they're a bunch of wannabe feudal lords who are angry their land doesn't make them legally superior to those they consider their inferiors.

Besides the fact that RFK Jr is a complete nutjob, it’s hilarious to see people who complain about “the elites” and “the regime” getting behind a Kennedy.

GOP: We are pro-life! So—free pre-natal care? GOP: No Extend child tax credit? GOP: No Paid family leave? GOP: No Universal pre-K? GOP: No Universal healthcare? GOP: No Gun reform? GOP: No How exactly are you pro-life?🤔 GOP: Ban reproductive health access & increase women’s death.

Dear media folks covering the fascist tech sector: I need you re-read the sentence "She has a good reputation, and seems like a reliable business person even if she's working for an Afrikaner nazi supervillian to fix his rapidly breaking fascist discourse/trans pogrom machine company" again over and over and over and over until you understand what's wrong with it and why nobody likes you.

Just give me a minute, I'm making a quick transition from submersible expert to military coup expert.

You know, it would be very helpful if our side learned to boil down our carefully observed and nuanced understandings to a thick sap that we can use to coat the rhetorical darts we fling at the other side. For instance, try this: "drag queens don't groom children, youth pastors do." Also: "the pedophiles are in youth ministry." Also: "yeah it's terrible how they cover up for sexual predators - oh, wait that was churches not drag shows." (Pro tip: say "churches", never "the Church", unless you want them to find you hilariously stupid.)
