@dukepaaron I'm kind of sad I didn't think of this response sooner because it wins the internets for today.

By "unserious", I mean that the people throwing that term around don't actually believe it. If they did, they'd be doing things like writing their congresspeople and demanding things like "grant Gazans asylum with an expedited process" or any of the other things people fighting genocides do. Instead they're virtue signaling on social media and on the streets.

It seems unserious because it is unserious.

@aardrian Oh yes you would. And I still call it Twitter, or Birdchan, but definitely not x.

@aardrian We don't just mean Mastodon.

I was going to write a snarky post about how GAAD is basically performative bullshit, but you beat me to it.

@sickmatter Given his last message I suspect he was simply overwhelmed by all the Eurovision stuff on Saturday on here. That on top of everything else that's gone on antisemitismwise on here and he probably just had enough.

@sickmatter I think he may be just off the fediverse at this point, not that he's directing anything personal against any of us.

Actually I had some pepper steak and rice with lots of veggies. But sweet and sour chicken is good too.

@swarming Agreed it would need to be incredibly long, and you'll want to have a plan for essentially battoning down the hatches and ducking when the inevitable virulent backlash hits.

Hang in there we'll make it through.

Awesome!

Awesome!

Aw happy anniversary to you two.

Thanks for sharing this.

Tony's right these people need to be kept as far away from power as possible.

Oh my God. Yeah I'm sure that was an instant unfollow.

I won't name names, but someone boosted one of those posts into my timeline and, quite apart from whether I agreed with the message, I unfollowed the person who boosted it. Not a person I have a relationship with outside of social media.

Speaking for myself, I derive a special kind of joy by removing all the UTM paramaters from links before I post.

I'm coming over to your house to eat.
