Isn't it interesting that every killing by every cop is just a single bad apple that should never be thought to spoil the bunch, while every protest by and on behalf of marginalized people must be flawlessly perfect, or all participants deserve the brutality the police exist to deliver to them?

TikTok ban is deeply stupid, definitely unconstitutional, a complete failure of governance. Pathetic that it was attached to a must-pass bill

Via Klasfeld:

Expected first:

The judge may issue his Sandoval rulings, determining what prior bad acts prosecutors can confront Trump with if he testifies.

A key question: "What's fair game?"

Please store Cybertruck indoors at all times. Please reassure Cybertruck that it is overtly macho at least twice a day. Failure to do so will damage Cybertruck's ego and void your warranty.

"Austin Smith drops reelection campaign amid accusations of petition signature fraud"

"And he’s facing a possible criminal investigation into his signatures after state elections officials forwarded his petition signatures to the Arizona Attorney General’s Office."

Sweet. Dickhead "Freedom" Caucus moron.

Just going to suggest a few thousand people on mastodon disagree with you because my whole motherfucking thing is expletive-ridden tirades. Naturally, I wouldn't presume that is also yours or anyone else's motherfucking thing, but, as pertains to things you want to avoid, the mute and block button seem to be sitting right there and I imagine either one of those would've addressed your issue much more efficiently.

New: I talked to Trump Media investors about their shares' value getting cut in half. A tree remover in Oklahoma who bet basically his whole nest egg told me, “This isn’t just another stock … I feel like it was God Almighty that put it in my lap" https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2024/04/14/truth-social-investors-faith-trump/

"I would like to demand our border be closed," says Donald Trump with House Speaker Mike Johnson standing at his side. Biden "should close the border immediately."

Lost Tapes From Major Musicians Are Out There. These Guys Find Them.

For decades, recordings left at studios have languished in storage rooms and basements. Master Tape Rescue, a company of two industry vets, is coming to save them.

Hey, is post search not working any more?

#Mastodon

jamesbritt, 1 month ago to random

I find this puzzling.

Followed a link for release by a composer. It lists all these places to stream it, and just one place to buy it.

#Bandcamp is not there at all.

But if I search, sure as shit, it's on Bandcamp. I've seen this many times for other such link-pages.

Why do people do this? Is this a function of the those sites? No BC option?

I don't want to buy the crappy MP3-only version from Amazon. Nor do I want to pay more for a CD so I can rip it.

What's an example of a work of art (literature, music, poetry, theater, painting, whatever) that you've had a spiritual experience with? (Take this how you'd like...at one with the universe, in touch with God, deeply aware of something larger than yourself; however you think of it is fine.)

Boosts appreciated, commentary appreciated but not necessary. :)

X rolled out a change that automatically converts all links that have the string “twitter” anywhere in them to “X.”

For example, if someone tweets the link setwitter.com, the X client application will change that link to sex.com.

This is not a joke.

How is this not libel?

Meta is telling people who’ve linked to my site that it contains malware.

This. Is. Completely. False.

This letter is 10 years old. It was true then and remains true today. Regarding the recent murder of aid workers, I'd say we're at about stage 5.
