Ron DeSantis, like the whole #trump/#republican party, knows that #kids are smarter and more politically aware about what they see happening to their country than in the past. Kids are more opinionated about what's going on around them. So of course DeSantis wants them silenced. He and other fascists don't want to hear from the kids. And they don't want you hearing from them either.
I think this may be one of Oliver's most important episodes, in that it could affect the most change. But don't focus only on the admittedly #blockbuster finale. The message is clear: #ClarenceThomas is a #crook and has no business being a #SCOTUS#justice!
If you haven't seen Jon Stewart in his glorious return to The Daily Show then find 20 minutes and 29 seconds in your schedule and :eyes_opposite: WATCH THIS!
Make no mistake: #oil and power companies will fight HARD against this.
"Recent solar power advances have led #scientists to predict that millions of homes... could go off grid over the coming years [becoming] self-sufficient using just #SolarPanels and batteries."
"US #Senator Ron Wyden released documents confirming the #NationalSecurityAgency buys Americans’ internet records, which can [read: WILL] reveal which #websites they visit and what #apps they use."
The #CPU that runs some #USB-C wall chargers has more than twice the RAM, and is 563x faster than the #computer that ran the guidance system in #Apollo 11.
To those "my cellphone has more computing power than Apollo 11" guys...

As a people, we are really dumb. But not dumb enough, apparently.
Many people may have never noticed this particular #Mastodon feature, much less used it. But I find it very useful!
The website lets you record a "Note" on all profile pages, even if you don't follow them. (I think many of the apps do this too.) Notes can be anything textual: your nickname for them, when your first contact was, or maybe the toot you "met" over.
I rarely block anyone so mine are usually "they're an asshole" so I know how to handle them the next time they crop up.
"...featured hashtags are displayed prominently on your profile..."
I don't see #FeaturedHashtags on my own #profile page, even though I have about a dozen of them listed in the settings (link). I'm using the web interface on my #desktop and #phone. Is that feature disabled? Maybe those #hashtags only shown to others who see my page but not to me? #MastodonQuestion@feditips, maybe you know? (I looked for it on your site.)
Those who still believe autonomous AI isn't a threat need to reassess their stance.
"Several #governments are lobbying the #UN for a binding resolution restricting the use of AI killer #drones, but the #USA is among a group of nations — which also includes #Russia, #Australia, and #Israel — who are resisting any such move, favoring a non-binding #resolution instead."
