@jann @SuperSideshow the skill in practical effects and costuming really shouldn't be denigrated this way :/

@TonyStark I guess the obvious flaws in 'replace Biden' being exposed in print and on TV, they're going for 'replace the black woman!' before the obvious flaws in that also get exposed in print and on TV.

@dangillmor nope, everything is from someone I follow, was boosted by someone I follow, or has a hashtag I follow.

That was very similar to my take at the time. I get it, but I still don’t like it. Some liberals can be ridiculous boneheads and they won’t understand his nuancing. If in fact that’s what he was doing.

So this is jon stewart’s second or third show tonight? I sure hope he’s a little less privileged this time. We need him to be important source of information and perspective for this election. We don’t need him to be both-siderized is asshole.

@shoq I watched the first one and figured he was probably building bridges with multiple constituencies and ensuring he could bring a broad audience along to the end goal of not fascism.

Agree it's not fun to see credence given to some shitty takes, hope that doesn't last too long...

One for my peeps.

Trump is unable to appeal the E Jean Carroll ruling because in order to appeal he needs to put up 110% of the cash in escrow, and it seems he is unable to.

This $350m NYC ruling, does it need an amount in escrow before he can appeal?

@selzero signs point to yes

I am doing so much better but sometimes I still have a lung health relapse. It's so difficult to predict all triggers and how they add up (and often impossible to control, like weather changes). Anyway, it's obviously very emotionally draining and hard when I have to suddenly rest a ton and sit there feeling bad. I started watching Dimension 20 which I'd never heard of before and it's like the best thing I've found this whole time for comfort in the pain & it's LONG & there's so MUCH of it

@grimalkina I have a bunch of long running d&d podcasts I listen to that are a great comfort, especially when things are rough but also as a day to day companion.

@mcc there's people who work there who know

At linux.conf.au in NZ in 2019 they ran some great sessions explaining their home gateway, doing demos etc and said basically 'mozilla is here for you, to make your digital life better and safer and private'.

That person knew what was up. As an org, voices like that seem to get drowned out...

@StillIRise1963 any one house republican could oust the guy whenever they want

None of them do.

Any four (I think it's four or five) could elect someone sane and responsible by partnering with Jeffries.

No four (or five) of them do.

Public health is dead.

US CDC: "Americans who test positive for the coronavirus no longer need to routinely stay home from work and school for five days under new guidance planned by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention."

“Public health has to be realistic, In making recommendations to the public today, we have to try to get the most out of what people are willing to do.”

Why be right and do your job when you can be "realistic," instead?

When I was in my early 20’s, I hustled my ass off. I worked 2 jobs and a side hustle. I drank 8 cups of coffee a day and popped No Doz pills to work at night.

And then I burned the fuck out. And crashed hard.
And it wasn’t worth it.

There’s a lot of folks who will tell you: “grind to the point of exhaustion. Chase wealth and rest later. Make work your only religion.”

That advice is poison. It will leave you broken and hurt and tired and alone.

depereo,
@depereo@mastodon.social avatar

@Daojoan I pulled 90 hour weeks thinking that you were supposed to do that in your early 20s.

Then I fell asleep while driving. Ended up in a field by the highway, thankfully... No one else around.

Sacrificing other people's safety (and your own) for some 'hard work' bullshit that doesn't really get you anywhere is never worth it. I nearly didn't have a long term to enjoy a 'reward' from! Or could have imperiled someone else's.

I don't watch a lot of sport but I'm not allergic to it and for some reason I've been watching like... all of the New Year 2024 sumo tournament from Japan

and it's really a not at all like any other sport I've watched much less any tournament or anything like that, partly because each bout is so short (and there are so many of them)

and i like the formality and traditionalism of all of it and the crowd wearing a mix of business clothing, traditional finery, and occasional casualwear, and...

...and is this woman wearing a The Shaggs T-shirt?

Were you able to raise $1Million dollars?

No? That’s why people like Rudy don’t pay multi million dollar judgements or have to spend time in prison

Just get more ties to Q-Anon lunatics like the Borlands and cash in on favors to the Russian mob as a “thanks for going after Gotti for us”

Bootstraps. 🇺🇸

@flexghost I could raise under $1M.
