There is a whole genre of people who play music to animals, and it is probably one of the better features of our species

“Another Provocative Flag Was Flown at Another #Alito Home

The justice’s beach house displayed an “Appeal to Heaven” flag, a symbol carried on #Jan6 and associated with a push for a more Christian-minded government. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/22/us/justice-alito-flag-appeal-to-heaven.html

#writerscoffeeclub 22 If someone were to write your [...]biography, who would you want to write it?

Nobody
Let them rather write about an interesting woman, and give me a miss

Re: the last boost

Is someone working on a global low/no-covid specific dating app?

Because if god willing there is ever a world where it's safe for me to leave the house again, I would really like to meet people who are:

• systems thinkers
• in solidarity with those who have less economic power
• fighting eugenics and ableism
• able to resist peer pressure
• resolved in their convictions
• thinking for the long term

Truly, I can think of nothing sexier and I mean that with my whole heart.

This story has something in it for everyone.

The town of #SummerfieldNC lies just north of Greensboro, North Carolina, and has seen a transition from rural farming village to bedroom community to reluctant suburb over the past two decades.

#Summerfield's current town council was voted in on a hardcore #NIMBYism platform. Putting that platform into action, however, has led to some substantial consequences for the town, including... (1/n)

Notice how quickly the fascists moved from not requiring masks under the guise of freedom to OUTLAWING masks for everyone in NC.

I’m observing a consistent background drone on Mastodon attacking President Biden over US Gaza policy.
While I disagree with the USA’s complicity with Israel in Gaza, and have complained about it often in smaller forums, the consensus is:
Keep some level of perspective and pragmatism. Under no circumstance can you not vote for Biden and expect a better outcome for Gaza and Palestinians. You want to help them? YOU ARE NOT by enabling Trump as POTUS to team up with Netanyahu. 🔥🤔

I parked near some asshole who had a big Trump bumpersticker, and a smaller one that read: "Trump was right about everything."

It took every ounce of self-restraint to not deface it.

New section. Now working through participant's thoughts on oncology-aware diet.

The issue here is that many hospitals have special menus for people living with diabetes, gluten sensitivity, lactose sensitivity, etc, but few have diets aor dietary assistance for oncology patients who are often exhausted, dizzy, or nauseous, and lose a ton of weight. In contrast, facilities that had oncology-aware diets or special oncology-dietiticians, the experience was far better.

I am wary of generalisations in ideas like the drama triangle. But honestly when I look back at every job or team I've worked on, I can immediately identify the person everyone was trying to either reassure or placate, and the folk who thought they were helping but actually perpetuated the unhealthy dynamic. It's been almost ubiquitous in my experience.

A brief work of futuristic business fiction:

It's the year 2050, and the board of Acme Corp is meeting to review annual results. Years prior, the board okayed a radical proposal: Fire all employees and use AI to develop products, execute production, and service customers. “The benefits of essentially cost-free operations directed with pinpoint precision, nanosecond speed, and data-driven logic will yield the greatest profit margin in history,” promised the consultant's report.

gimulnautti, 1 month ago to Russia

#Russia is now at peak #military-industrial capacity, practically zero unemployment, pay hikes because not enough labour force to man the weapons factories. 35% of government spending go to military. 7.1% of GDP. All of it to go up in smoke in #Ukraine

However, if we look at the numbers, this output only matches current EU military spending. Countries which are on avg spending less than 2% on it currently.

Tell me again how Ukraine supported only by Europe can’t possibly win?
