They know exactly what buttons to push and they are gonna be pushing all of them, every day, non-stop for the rest of the year, even after the election.

Buckle up your chinstraps.

There is a lot of alignment between the Dominionists and #TESCREAL crowd.

The last time Donald Trump took the stand at trial, his poor performance and arrogant refusal to follow court rules easily lost him tens of millions of additional dollars to E. Jean Carroll.

If he does it again now in the criminal case, he will send himself straight to prison.

When is the last time you ate at a Red Lobster?

I’ll go: at least 13+ years ago in a suburb outside Chicago.

I would replace "caused" with "greatly contributed to", but otherwise I think this is correct.

Guess no one cares about those Jan.6th bombs.

Imagine Braveheart is your favorite movie, but you don’t know what happened to William Wallace at the end.

Imagine Good Will Hunting is your favorite movie, but you don’t know who stole who’s line at the end.

Imagine The Usual Suspects is your favorite movie, but you don’t know
who Keyser Soze is at the end.

Imagine The Sixth Sense is your favorite movie, but you don’t know what happened to Bruce Willis’ character at the end.

Now, imagine you’re #SamAltman.

“#SocialMedia has turned so many into public relations professionals who pursue likeability instead of #truth. That’s why people speak along pre-vetted party lines and silence their edgy ideas. First to others, later to themselves. When anything you say online can be instantly accessed with a Google search, the costs of independent thinking aren’t worth the benefits to most people.”

How do #ReplyGuys fit into the model of #followership?

Imagine having a country to escape to when things get too uncomfortable for you.

Must be nice, I guess 🤷🏻‍♂️

To be clear, #JohnBrown was right.

He was radical.

He was an abolitionist.

He was also a murderer and wannabe insurrectionist against the Republic.

He precipitated a Civil War.

John Brown saw clearly and correctly.

The human-curated source that is my Mastodon feed.

It replaced Twitter and I range from being between 2 days and several months ahead of the Discourse.

People who ban books so so from a place of intense fear, deep insecurity, and sense of self-seriousness.

If your profession or identity has an “appreciation week” or “history month”, then you’re being fucked over and your people were probably fucked over.

I’m so glad public libraries already exist. Could you I magine trying to sell the idea of libraries to politicians in 2024?

“You want to build a large public complex on prime real estate that gives away free books & education & community events—paid for by our tax dollars? Are you crazy??”

It took 18 months for lawyers to agree on language for public distribution.

I'm going to stick my neck out and suggest that the extremist settler movement in Israel is rooted in the USA and culturally has a lot in common with US white supremacist/settler ideology—there's a reason Netanyahu is so comfortable with Republicans who dine at the Christian Nationalist table.

The #technology miracle of “#AI” is that the words generated actually form sequences which humans process as plausible formulations of sentences in language we know.

marick, 29 days ago to emacs

I am being a good little programmer and adding docstrings to some Elixir code. I hate looking at it. It so gets in the way of the code; see below.

I want an #emacs keypress that hides all lines between two regexps (One for @…doc…”””; one for the ending “””.) Weirdly, I can’t find anything. I used to be good at Elisp/Emacs programming, but I pretty much stopped doing that around 30 years ago. So looking for something similar I can hack on (or package that obviates the need to).

Any pointers?
