@thomasfuchs@hachyderm.ioA very “surprising pattern” that people don’t want to use fucking shit that doesn’t fucking work and depends on stealing people’s work and fucking lighting the mother-fucking planet on fire while feeding their fucking money into the greedy throats of billionaires.

Simultaneously people think that your gender is completely dictated by your chromosomes etc at birth and are immutable and trans men/women are “icky”

@grumpybozo@toad.socialNot necessarily a professional, because unlikely things do happen. They must. You have to suspect that they were a trained shooter to get that lucky at that distance but a LOT of people who are not professional assassins in any sense* have well-practiced shooting skills. In the narrow sense of the phrase, only a tiny fraction of the highly-skilled shooters have ever killed a person for pay in the private sector.

@grumpybozo@toad.socialI think that the people who care the most about Rosie O’Donnell are Trump & his toadies.
I mean, she’s not exactly a key political actor in any sense. She’s not an A-list talent and never was. I don’t want her de-naturalized (because it’s fucking illegal & unprincipled) but that’s only because I don’t want ANYONE denaturalized for any reason other than having lied about major criminal activities on their naturalization paperwork.

At this point I don’t even know which instance to recommend if someone asks me, every single instance I used to recommend has already been on some drama and will give a bad experience for people first joining.

@timbray@cosocial.caI’m not a Bloomberg subscriber but I get a few of their newsletters. It’s interesting to me that they’re more or less 100% free of MAGA cant.

My perception is that Bloomberg represents the conventional wisdom of the mainstream business community. So, a little surprising.

Here we are with our thumbs out, beginning our trip on State St. in front of the Michigan Union.
People, Nebraska is fucking cold in February.

Two people on the left are hitchhiking, with one holding a sign that reads "PIKES PEAK OR BUST!" - a reference to the famous mountain in Colorado. The person [it me] holding the sign has their thumb out in the classic hitchhiking gesture. A third person stands to the right, and all three are dressed in typical 1970s casual wear including jackets and jeans.
