How Could Have Been So Foolish?

@ATLeagle @palin That is no one’s definition of “terrorism.” You might want to review the law of “nuisance.”

Here’s an excellent article about important lawsuits just filed on behalf of Uvalde families who lost loved ones to a mass shooting there. The families, represented by the same attorney who represented the Sandy Hook families, are suing Daniel Defense, the maker of the AR-15 used by the shooter, as well as the publisher of Call of Duty video games and Meta. (I am quoted in the story.) https://wapo.st/3R1Y9LA

Let's do some election math: Trump = abortion bans and MAGA extremists imposing their views on your personal decisions. But Biden + a Democratic trifecta = reproductive freedom for every American. Your support is the missing variable in this equation. If you can, pitch in to power our organizing work to win in November. https://secure.actblue.com/donate/stop-trump-again?refcode=mastodon20240518directpost&source=mastodon

Donald Trump just offered to gut environmental laws if oil company execs raise $1 billion to help him get re-elected. In return for that $1 billion payoff, experts say Trump could do $900 billion damage to the environment. But, certainly, do go on about how angry you are with Biden that you can't possibly vote for him. Don't worry, our children don't really need a planet to live on--we'll just send billionaires into space once Earth becomes unlivable. Problem solved! https://www.inquirer.com/columnists/attytood/trump-oil-industry-climate-change-wildwood-rally-crowd-20240514.html?utm_source=social&utm_campaign=gift_link&utm_medium=referral

I can't figure out if mastodon is a high context culture or not. People seem to be expected to give long introductions and do a lot of identity/positionality disclosure, but also an enormous reply guy culture which is defined by low context drive-by. Conversational turn-taking is extremely low compared to other platforms ime, but depth-seeking is high. What an interesting mix.

*obviously, these experiences are all situated within my own network effects, and I'm not well networked here.

@pseudonym @grimalkina I think of all of these as being like a convention's lobby during break. And different conventions differ in quality and form. And the goodness of the snacks.
