I told my wife this morning, I think his lil plan is to go on TV for this press conference, declare the whole thing a witch hunt, claim it's because Jack Smith and all his mean judge friends have a boner for Trump, and everything's fine, it's all a sham.

He'll think this completely absolves him, because he has come out and told 'the truth' and all, and he'll waddle off back to Mar-a-lago, where the Deputies will be waiting for him.

The Russian Embassy in Sweden, in a rude comment, confirmed the strike on the Swedish company SKF’s plant in Lutsk

So I am told.

That's really not the point though, is it.

I've had kbin show me a 500 once or twice, but it was because my ethernet cable had slipped the socket.

I've gotten more complex custom errors of indeterminate type, generally when posting, but typically the error is in error, as the post completes as expected.

@Anomander

This is the second error I described.

However, I was not trying to tell you what error you experienced, only offering my experience for comparison, or to add to the list of things you're hearing about.

Cheers and Good Luck

Latest update from AJC is that the Fulton County Website briefly served a Trump charging document, featuring a Racketeering Charge, and 18 others. It was quickly removed, apparently posted by mistake.

Babylon 5 was the show I wanted to like, knew I was supposed to like, was literally made for me by people who's work I freaking loved elsewhere; but as much as I wanted it to, it just never really spoke to me.

Conclusive Evidence for Modified Gravity: Collapse of Newton’s and Einstein’s Theories in Low Acceleration (scitechdaily.com)

A study on the orbital motions of wide binaries has uncovered evidence that standard gravity breaks down at low accelerations. This discovery aligns with a modified theory called MOND and challenges current concepts of dark matter. The implications for astrophysics, physics, and cosmology are profou

Concerning this this thing with people refusing to do business with people who are 'gay':

YET AGAIN, SCOTUS IS ASKING/ANSWERING THE WRONG QUESTION.

The question isn't whether you should be able to refuse service to 'gays' or whatever -- the question should be whether you have the right to refuse service to anyone at all.

In fact, you do: to suggest otherwise would imply that you are not free to choose who you work for, and when. That you are a slave to your customer, or to your own business.

It doesn't have anything to do with 'gays'. It has everything to do with personal liberty.

If you don't want to work for someone, or someone doesn't want to work for you - everyone should be fine with that. Look at it this way, would you want to be forced to work for these assholes?

People who are saying they won't work for you 'because...reasons' are simply assholes, and here's a pro-tip, whether you identify as gay or straight or a fucking spayed martian demigod you don't want to do business with someone that you consider an asshole, or that considers you an asshole.

There are so many people who do want your business, no matter who you are, and when you engage those people, you and they form an instant mutual support community that is nothing but positive. Seek THOSE businesses out, and to hell with the others, they're not worth your time. That they missed the opportunity to increase their earnings through engaging you is their dilemma, not yours.

Don't fertilize the hate 💖 but if you're going to pick a hill to die on, sweet babeh jeebus, you can do so much better than this.

In the interest of full disclosure, I am not gay, neither do I have a problem doing business with gay people, but if you're an asshole, I will kick you to the curb, as they say, no matter what part of the sexual spectrum you have personally staked out.

I put 'gay' in quotes because I don't want a single person to think I'm using the word negatively; indeed, my point is, this is not about being gay or being a gay person refused service. Don't let them make their asinine behavior about you. Just get away from them.

This is about being forced to do business with someone with whom you do not wish to engage in business. and I'm not defending these jerks, I'm just trying to clue you in that you don't want to eat one of their damn cakes anyway, and I sure wouldn't want to eat or serve a cake I forced them to bake in court.

Come on y'all, this is common sense, why is this even a thing.

@Roundcat

I mean, I know what you're saying, and I have some weird shit happening too from time to time, but I just got to say I have similar shit happen on reddit.

Unlike reddit, I have hope that this will just get better.

I'll take ducttape and good vibes anytime :)

How do I make a multipart post in a magazine?

I just tried posting the series of parts to my /mag, they showed up in reverse order in the microblog? WTF?

Please, if there is some advantage to this microblog thing, I'd love to know what is, and also how to make a post in my own magazine that does not feature a link.

'Threads/Microblog/People/Magazines' is where simplicity goes sideways in this webapp. It is not obvious what those things are; the couple of guides I've found don't discuss this focal point of confusion.

@djidane535

It's cool, user @djidane535 dropped some truth on me, and it finally soaked in.

I'll probably end up with some user scripts, or a browser extension, but I'm holding back until I know more about the ecosystem, what's useful, etc.

There’s always the therapist!
J/K, the therapist might not care for that lol 😝

could you be just a little more specific? are talking toothpaste, charmin, downy, ketchup bottle, your significant other? tiny teddy bear? I’m just riffing here, in the absence of guidance.

I mean, there's a lot of motivation to not do anything with twitter but stay away from it

This message would be a lot more useful if you said something about what you removed, because I have no idea what you're talking about, or why you thought it inappropriate for m/politics
