My husband just read me a story that showed up in his feed that went something like this:

A teacher asked her class who liked Trump. The children knew she liked Trump, so they all raised their hands, except one student.

Teacher: “Why don’t you like Trump?”

Student: “I am a Democrat.”

Teacher: “Why?”

Student: “Because my mom is a Democrat and my Dad is a Democrat.”

Teacher: "What would you do if your mom was stupid and your dad was mean?”

Student: “I would be a Trump supporter.”

😂

Especially if you’ve been subscribed to the Patreon for Low Quality Facts, let it be publicly known that they have been selling all of their “facts” as NFTs on opensea for Etherium since August 2021. Their account been suspended from mstdn.social today for this crypto scheme and, last I checked, they had a lot of followers around here.

I’ve been working with a Signal developer to improve the #accessibility of the desktop app, and I think it’s getting to a usable state (at least on Windows). There are sounds for chats in the current window now, and messages are list items (and also articles) so they can be reached easily. There are also a few keyboard shortcuts to jump to the oldest unread message, jump to the composer, and navigate to various sections of the app. I’ll be addressing some of the remaining issues, such as the chatty conversation windows and the fact you can tab to every single message in the history. If anyone has feedback on #screenreader accessibility of the current beta, I can pass it along. I haven’t tested it on MacOS or Linux yet. The beta is here: https://support.signal.org/hc/en-us/articles/360007318471-Signal-Beta

Alright, this is priceless – this is why we say that the #Fediverse is magical!

So, @kraft who works at Automattic (creator of WordPress) pops in to check out #Calckey. We start a chat about how they have a “Share to Mastodon” button, but that doesn’t cover the richness of platforms in the Fediverse. Bam, less than 12 hours later, Automattic are officially discussing how they could implement a “Share to the Fediverse” button, connecting the rest of the platforms potentially to hundreds of millions of websites using WordPress.

Is that something, or what?

Anderson Cooper lecturing people has me seeing red. How dare he. #CNN shoved Trump in our faces and he’s trying to make it sound as if we’re being unappreciative???

Last I checked viewers dictate what is popular, not what the networks think we should be watching.

Forcing an insurrectionist into our living rooms was bad enough. Telling us we should like it is beyond the pale.
