Life is a preposterous horror.

Money speaks for money, the devil for his own
Who comes to speak for the skin and the bone?

The law locks up the man or woman
Who steals the goose off the common
But leaves the greater villain loose
Who steals the common from the goose.

Toronto mayoral hopeful Brad Bradford, who's known for his deep ties to former mayor John Tory, is insisting that #Toronto's housing crisis can be traced to the "failed policies" of the city's last progressive mayor David Miller... who was elected 20 years ago.. and not the policies of recent former mayors Rob Ford and John Tory.

@gemelliz He's on take from property developers, isn't he, and thinks the solution is luxury investment condos?

@bruces Seems like Orthodox Christians have been slightly less warmongering than Catholic and Protestant ones in any case.

@BoredomFestival @bruces The slightest, tiniest incremental difference.

Never in my life have I wanted a Bluetooth connected BBQ. The entire point of being in charge of the grill is that you don't have to talk to anyone, but you still look like you're being social. This nonsense is being designed by marketers, not BBQers

@TheBierFrau It's a sign of our beautiful times that advertising ruined, and made near completely useless:

  2. Voicemail
  3. Text messages

Since we do not have the population or resources to resist any of the Great Powers, we could probably sell off everything but a few planes.

And no joking slap some silos down in the prairies with the money we save.

America, Russia, China, you lose your 50 biggest cities if you come at us. We get wiped out too but it'll be never worth it for you.

Yes I am advocating for nuclear weapons.

They money we save can go to healthcare.

A question to anyone who played a #videogame in the past 15 years.

When they ask me to adjust the slider so that the logo is barely visible how visible should that be? Like, should I be straining my eyes to just maybe notice it?

    I believe that everyone has the right to block whoever they want to block, but did they really have to go out of their way to message me and turn the blocking into a big riddle?

    I have so many questions. Who is this person? What is it that I'm doing? What do they think I am exactly?

    This is quite the mystery, and I fear it is one that will forever remain unsolved.

    @lowqualityfacts The desire in you to respond was what they were ultimately going for, I think.

    Have you tried your server's Local timeline yet? 🥳 It shows all public posts by people on your server. On huge servers it's a mess, but on smaller servers it can be really fun and friendly, especially on themed servers.

    -If you're using the official app, click the magnifying glass 🔍 , then the Community tab. This is your server's Local.

    -If you're using a browser, click on "Local" or 👥 at the right of the screen.

    Third party apps will also have their own interface to access Local.

    @feditips I imagine local timelines are actually fun on the smaller servers, instead of an exercise in watching incompetent people promote pointless businesses.

    It's hilarious to watch the American spam turn into Asian spam turn into Euro spam as the day progresses.

    People who dislike cats seem to have this belief that cats don't come when they're called. In reality, while some cats (like some dogs) won't respond that way, most cats I've known definitely will come when called. The thing is, unlike with a command to a dog, a cat will put your recommendation on its queue, and depending on the size of the queue it may be acted on immediately, or later. It's basically a scheduling issue.

    A bill that raises the age of when you can purchase a semi automatic rifle passes the #Texas state house committee. It's a small step but it's action regardless.

    There’s A Gun-demic: 7 Mass Shootings In One Weekend

    Here we go again. We’ve been in this mind space before. Many times. We’ve been shocked, dismayed, heartbroken, crushed, angry, bitter — I can keep going with a lexicon of the reactions which are common every single time there is bloodshed and death from an automatic weapon.

    Watching the news these days is like one of those horror movies where Satan comes back to rule, Rosemary’s Baby with an AR-15

    @gwfoto @PBruce @Ecthompsonmd Even when it's working well and intended, America is among the least good types of democracy there is.

    We can hardly blame the average American for elections where gerrymandering and voter disfranchisement, in a limited number of swing states, are what wins elections.

    If Charles is okay with people being arrested in the UK for not wanting a king, then it seems likely he would not mind you in Australia or Canada being arrested for not wanting a king.

    @tannerman I think maybe.

    I was thinking, they have breathing filters and such. They can deflect blasts pretty easy.

    But a blistering agent?

    Would seem more sensible if you wanted to put a force user down.

    This is what I think about in my free time.

    @tannerman Well, Steve Tanner, you went far and above the call of duty in answering a silly little question that had been in the mind of a total stranger for a while.
