I’d really like to see another with ’s head rolling down the White House lawn, but I do remember how it backfired the first time.

The reason we're in this situation is because in the past, ALL of the traitors weren't punished. I don't want this DEADLY MISTAKE to happen again.

@StillIRise1963 I’ve said it before, but the Confederates and their families should have been exiled to their ancestral homelands and their properties distributed among their slaves. Traitors should be banished if not imprisoned.

My brother-in-law in his eighties has always just bought drugstore reading glasses, and I see his son has been doing the same. I think a lot of people just don’t get what they need because of such bad coverage.

The second problem is that people will start writing books in the form of endless posts 🤭🫣👇

There are two problems that are coming for Mastodon of which apparently an awful lot of people are unaware. These problems are coming for Mastodon not because of anything specific to Mastodon: they come to all growing social media platforms. But for some reason most people haven't noticed them, per se.

The first problem is that scale has social effects. Most technical people know that scale has technological effects. Same thing's true on the social side, too.

If you can’t object to, criticize, argue against, bemoan, or rue the Israeli counterattack against Hamas/Gaza without promoting the extermination of the Jews, then I have no choice but to block and report you. If Mastodon is not better than Twitter, what’s the point?

Since it’s unlikely we will hold the Senate unless the the gods of cardiac arrest are smiling on us, it becomes absolutely essential that we hold the White House, and preferably, the House, too. If we don’t, the last 8 years are going to look like training wheels for the train wreck coming down the track.

The ease with which the world is backing away from supporting both Israel and Ukraine—don’t forget that Zelenskyy is Jewish—is disturbing to me.
