Just remember, when you say you won't vote for Joe Biden, nothing bad happens to Joe Biden. He retires, goes home to his family, and lives his life in peace.

What happens to your Muslim/Hindu/Sikh/Jain/Buddhist/Wiccan/Pagan neighbours? They're fucked. What happens to your LGBTQ friends? They're fucked too. What happens to poor people? The disabled? The elderly? Babies? Kids? BIPOC folks? Women?

What do you care? If you cared, you would've voted for Joe!

Also unsure how much of ‘I want to move to LA’ is ‘I really can’t deal with SF’ and how much of it is ‘I’ve been feeling skittish about SF ever since two bad racist incidents happened to me there (and no amount of well meaning liberal hugs will make that go away)’

It just struck me what Apple got wrong with its “crushing ad.”

They thought we would identify with the iPad, not the creative instruments and materials.

I have an idea. I would like to build a desk for myself using a slab of wood and a bunch of milk crates.

Milk crates are cheap. You can buy them for $5-$6 each on specialty sites.

I have the perfect spot for it on my third floor, next to a window. I could theoretically fit a 100-inch slab of wood in the spot.

People who won’t vote are not just committing suicide, they’re committing murder.

"Introducing Apple Pencil Pro. It takes the pencil experience to a whole new level." is one of those ridiculous sentences which make me laugh out loud .

Just played #Helldivers2 for the first time in a couple of weeks, and I think we just had our first true encounter with griefers...one of them kept calling in air strikes everywhere we had to be at, and the other shot us any time we had samples, including right outside of the extraction point right as we were getting on ship.

We've been pretty lucky in helldivers so far, actually met a few people we sent friend requests to after because we got along great. I don't understand what enjoyment griefers get from making the game suck for others. Guess I'm not fked up enough 🙃

Blocking somebody? Baller move. You’re in charge of your account. You decide who has access to you.

Telling someone, “I’m blocking you for that!” immediately before blocking them? Baby move. Your dysfunctional obsession with getting the last word in is showing.

When all the unhoused people in the United States are moved into camps, go visit them and explain through the fence that you didn’t vote because of Gaza.

I need some new science fiction to read, who has some suggestions? I don't like military sci-fi. For reference, my favorite series is the Expanse, I also enjoyed Scalzi's Collapsing Empire, I love Robert Charles Wilson's books. I mostly enjoy space operas and unique stories about technology, for example I really liked the recent book Mountain in the Sea about AI and intelligent octopus. Suggestions from the awesome Bookstodon community? @bookstodon #Bookstodon #Scifi #ScienceFiction

Oh no, it’s over, NYPD found proof that it was trained terrorists behind the protests and showing the manual they found when raiding Columbia university

Cookie’s vet just called back with her new test results. Everything she had which was previously 2-5x more than normal (all liver related) have all come back to well within normal. The vet now recommends keeping her on this medication and routine for as long as possible (instead of euthanasia)! There was a moment a few weeks ago when we didn’t know if she’d make it, or what her quality of life would be. She’s really surprised everyone with her will to live well.

Got an unsolicited job offer from a recruiter in Illinois today.

Recruiter: we were really impressed with your resume, and want to recommend this very basic, bare-bones data entry job that only pays $18.50 an hour.

Wow, what an honor! 😂 So glad that my years of working in tech startups and aircraft maintenance has given me this prestigous opportunity!

I told y'all, cops don't do what you think they do.🤷🏿‍♂️

Black folk know this from lived experience. Some white folk only learn this when they go to report a theft or sexual assault and find out that the $11B/year NYPD are not equipped to handle that.

I am going to answer this question for everyone:

My answer is here:

Remember:

There were possible crimes, but tax and reporting crimes are not election interference.

There is also a circular thing with Cohen and Pecker telling the court that they expected Trump to pay back the hush money payments.

If they expected to get paid back, it was a loan to Trump and not a contribution. Right?

If you don’t want to be murdered by the state, then VOTE FOR THE DEM.

do leftists who keep calling democrats the lesser evil actually realize that to normal people, they are the lesser evil compared to trumpers?

Republicans: “We believe in free markets.”

Workers: “Ok, I'd like to go work for my firm's competitor without legal threats.”

Republicans: “No, not that free market.”

Lina Khan was appointed by Joe Biden to lead the FTC in 2021. Elections matter and so does who appoints government officials.

This is huge news for workers.

FTC bans noncompete agreements, making it easier for workers to quit. Here's what to know. -
