Very old autistic guitarist. I try to be kind. I do not suffer fools. I left twitter a bit over 7 years ago as it was too evil then. Also it is an old photo I am vain.

I have yet to hear any viable argument to support trump running for office. He belongs in prison.

Does anyone else have trouble doing one thing at a time? Like if I'm doing chores it helps to have a podcast or talk to someone, or watching TV, I need to do something with my hands, like a little handy craft, or a simple game. I love movies, but the movie has to be absolutely fascinating for me to want to go to a theater where I just need to sit there and watch. I have a large amount of tabs open on my phone all the time and I flit back and forth through a bunch of different things. Weed helps calm this down a bit.

@RickiTarr I spend my evenings watching you tube videos whilst playing my guitar. I therefore prefer videos without music as I provide that myself.

@RickiTarr Everything from crooner tunes from the 40s to current pop songs. The only genre of music I do not care for is bluegrass as that was the soundtrack of my abusive childhood.

We're a species of ignorant primates with a superiority complex only out powered by our self destructive tendencies.

Whatever people knew about fascism in 1939 we know so much more now. One thing about fascism is it's inherently, almost definitionally, self destructive. Yet at any given time 12-20% of the population of a democracy prefers it.

We compare to a cold when its more similar to HIV.

We're tolerating multiple genocides globally.

An embarrassing multi-million-dollar accounting error that occurred during PM Harper's tenure and was covered up for years at Veterans Affairs will end up costing taxpayers almost $1 billion.
More than 272,000 veterans were short-changed on pension and disability payments for almost eight years.
The error was fixed, but Harper's govt decided not to notify the affected veterans and not to offer reimbursement for the missed payments.

So if presidential immunity is a thing should we rescind the impeachment of nixon and clinton? Also would this mean that Biden could kill trump if he chose to? I am not sure any of you have really thought this through....

Okay, let me try to ask this question, in a coherent way!

When we hear certain kinds of music, arrangements and tones, we associate them with feelings and emotions, like this sounds magical or whimsical, this sounds bouncy and happy, or dark and tragic. Do you think that is this is innate, like the combination of certain notes and tones just illicit these feelings in most people or is it because we've seen it related to these kinds of emotions on the radio or in movies and TV?

If either trump or putin dies while I am still alive I will be setting up loudspeakers with dance music on my street and will invite anyone who wants to come and help me celebrate by dancing in the street. I have not done this since thatcher died.

Meanwhile in Canada the candidate for leader of the conservative party is hand picked by former leader stephen harper (the worst leader that Canada has ever had) stephen harper is also the head of the IDU, an organization who's aim is to have an ultra right wing fascist asshole like trump running every country on earth. It would be worse for the common person than the dark ages.

“Martyr, holy man. A hero, a real hero,” the woman explained why she came to say goodbye to Navalny.

The US military tracked Putin's movements. How? His comrades (advisers, drivers, etc.) had smartphones and were browsing the internet, using apps. Ads were displayed to them. And data traces from advertising networks revealed everything. https://www.wired.com/story/how-pentagon-learned-targeted-ads-to-find-targets-and-vladimir-putin/

    "Meta keeps insisting that it will not promote 'political' content on Threads"

    As a queer Arab woman I ask, how do you shy away from politics when your very existence is political in your context?

    Good read from @mmasnick -

    This video illustrates perfectly how someone as unintelligent as Trump can still be a presidential candidate.

    The TYT network asks Trump supporters if it was wrong of Trump to talk smack about NATO, and the supporters immediately say no… only to later admit, they do not actually know what NATO is.

    But Putin is a great guy, because he is not part of the elite, they claim… leaving out the fact that Putin is the richest man on earth.

    I went to bed for a few hours. I had assumed that as we had only just checked in, housekeeping would not be coming round, so I did not put out the Do Not Disturb sign. However a lady entered the room with a plate of fruit while I was asleep, IDK which of us was most shocked and surprised. She said, “Oh, I’m so sorry madam!” about five times, and I responded, “No, no, it’s OK!” about five times. Tom had just stepped into the bathroom wearing only his underpants, so it was nearly more embarrassing for everyone

    I'm tired of hearing about AI, to be honest. I never cared for it. I don't respect people who use generative AI, and I despise companies that sell out people's data to train it. Yes, people will lose jobs to it, but the world will not be better for it. It's just that consequences are rarely immediately apparent in such complex systems.

    Ulrich_the_Elder,

    @Gargron I have set up filters to guard against AI and so far they appear to be working. Having a system of filters is the best thing about Mastodon.

    Let's face it: The Supreme Court is in the bag for the Trump party. The idea that it needs to consider whether the president is totally above the law is beyond bonkers.

    Even assuming (as I do) that the court rules that presidents can't (for example) order a hit team to kill political opponents, this is the delay Trump and his fellow fascists wanted.

    For now, he is damn near above the law. Disgusting, terrifying.
