@Dahlialith@mstdn.social Well, the nice thing for billionaires about fostering Supreme Court Justices is that they can be sent back to the shelter if they start issuing progressive opinions.

BREAKING: Elon Musk announces #SpaceX will refuse all Moon missions because they require performing a translunar injection burn in order to cross cislunar space

"you should federate with meta because activitypub is all about openness" is just "why doesn't the so-called tolerant left tolerate my bigotry" for computers

Spare a thought for Harlan Crow, who must have been pretty upset to learn how cheaply Justices Gorsuch and Alito went for.

That’s funny, the words “Elon Musk” are considered a slur on this platform.

Attached: 2 images People are watching GOP reactions to Trump's TV confessions. Erick Erickson said, "Guys, Trump admitted on TV tonight he withheld documents from the grand jury. Game over, legally. What an idiot." "Legally" it's game over. But what about politically? How far will hardcore MAGA go to defend him? Will it split the party, thereby causing them to lose the 2024 election big time? (On the theory that Trump will torpedo any nominee that isn't him?) Or will they fall in line again?

I have a couple of really complex patients and can't decide upon best course of care. I'm going to ask if Joe Rogan will have a doctor debate a lawyer on his show and will go with the treatment from whichever sounds more convincing and gets the most debate points. #antivaxxers

Declaring that banning gender-affirming care is unconstitutional is a devastating blow to a major piece of conservative campaign plans as we approach election season. Keep fighting these bigots. Keep pushing. Don't give them a moment's fucking rest. Make them regret the day they came into contact with you.

Like a healthy percentage of dumb bigoted conservative twats who tried to stake out turf on Mastodon in days agone are basically blocked by a vast swath of the fediverse at this point cuz, y'know, it's not run by Elon Musk and therefore doesn't work actively to amplify the voices of verified sociopath assholes but they keep trying, like the intrepid sexless ubermenschen they think they are in spite of all evidence available from every social interaction they've ever had. Keep at it, guys. You are the 300 Spartans of Unloved Loserdom and, exactly like the 300 Spartans, you're fash-y dickbags and you lost.

Hunter Biden has actually been a very useful case study for the difference in this country between the right and the left. I’ve never heard anyone in my liberal circles suggest he shouldn’t be investigated and prosecuted if there’s evidence of wrongdoing. Joe Biden hasn’t blathered endlessly about political witch hunts, hasn’t insulted and attacked everyone involved in the process, and won’t make this a violence-inducing talking point at cultish campaign rallies. Because we’d think that’s nuts.

Trump must be wondering why Biden hasn't called for his supporters to riot over the prosecution of his son.

my fedi instance is hosted on hunter biden's laptop

It’s getting really easy to find Nazis on Twitter. Just check any thread of replies to Elon Musk, they’ll be right near the top.

hi i'm a smug piece of shit here to explain to you that blocking #Meta is useless and impossible and wrong actually. let me tell you how #ActivityPub is a sieve and #Facebook is very large. you know i know what i'm talking about because i currently work for #Google and/or used to work for #Twitter and proudly have that in my bio. that's probably where i internalized the futility of trying anything ever. if i'm queer, female, and/or a racial minority, i'm insulated from most problems because of my wealth. if i'm not, i have no idea what those problems are other than something about bathrooms? i have several expensive hobbies and have never donated to a mutual aid fundraiser in my life because someone might scam me. i have no idea what collective action is, but i'm sure it can't work because, as i have mentioned, Facebook is very large. i have an all or nothing idea of success and cannot fathom the concept of making something slightly less shitty. anyway, fuck you, you dumb peasants

You can tell TERFs / GCs are hateful bigots because there are no circumstances under which a trans person can exist that they will accept. They may pretend to in order to appear reasonable in front of others, but the goal posts always shift so the trans person is inevitably in the wrong. There is no such thing as a "gold star" trans person who does everything right such that they have to accept them because they just want us dead, period.

Great moments in the political philosophy of speech: 1776. Every person must have the right to speak freely without government persecution. 2018. Also no one should call them an asshole. 2023. And everyone should have to listen.

You know why we still have Pride parades? Because there’s still fucking polls asking people if they find us “morally acceptable”. Fuck your morals. We’re humans. We don’t need polls to determine if we should be allowed to be alive.

Barack Hussein Obama won as Barack Hussein Obama Meanwhile… Nimarata Nikki Randhawa had to run as Nikki Haley Piyush Jindal had to run as Bobby Jindal Rafael Edward Cruz had to run as Ted Cruz Even Ronna Romney had to run as Ronna McDaniel And don’t get me started on the 11-teen different names of George Santos Point is, GOP claims that “Dems are obsessed with identity politics” is 100% projection.

If only the journalism industry had the same courage as unpaid Reddit moderators, things might really change for the better.

The Republican position is that if children want school lunches they should get a job at the mill or slaughterhouse to pay for them.
