And now the Dems must show their willingness to exercise power. To remain steady on an agenda for lasting change.

Ding dong the Mitch is dead.

Now we gotta get Warnock through the Georgia special election so we have a buffer against Manchin/Sinema.

I'm writing letters to voters in Georgia through Vote Forward to get out the vote -- and you can, too! Sign up here! https://votefwd.org/campaigns

Cortez Masto won and Ds retain the Senate!!! https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/election-results-congress-senate-house-11-12-2022/index.html

Now that the dust is settling, here's an #introduction. I'm a filmmaker, actor, and staunch New-Twitter rejecter.

I love the gentler, non-algorithmic nature of this community, and in keeping with that, I don't plan to use this account for self-promo. You can find my projects on other platforms (which I seldom use) or my own site: https://linktr.ee/alxwinter.

The #fediverse is an opportunity to build a community as robust as Twitter without the histrionics and clickbait toxicity. Let's do that!

That's more than the combined delegations from the 10 most climate-impacted countries.”

mastodon vs twitter (updated)

Heading out to a brunch with my family and my best friend. I have voluntarily signed up to watch them get drunk and ask why we don't marry each other. Happy Saturday y'all. #blackmastodon #saturday

@DrK Hello and nice to meet you! I work on a deep learning algorithm that quantifies blood, swelling, and CSF in ICH patients' CT scans.

Your experience reminded me of this dataset. It has genetic and imaging data for Alzheimer's patients.

Time for my (re-)#introduction.

I'm Jacky Alciné, a software developer by trade and interest. When I'm not doing that, I'm usually ranting, reading or writing about what I'm learning and understanding about #Racism, #Socialism, #USPoliticalHistory or something about #FLOSS.

I like the idea and prospect of an open Web so I'm an adamant supporter of things like the #IndieWeb, #Fediverse and the offline Web (hey SSB!).

You can learn more about me on my website at https://jacky.wtf/about.

Ask me what you'd like, I'd reply as humanely possible.

There’s no blue checkmark in the world worth giving your credit card info to a company that just fired the bulk of its devs responsible for digital security.

Shocking. Musk’s Twitter has just blocked people trying to read/share a Byline Times article.

It’s never happened to Byline Times before. Reader suppression, if you will - on an article about voter suppression, ironically.

They even put up a warning when you try to retweet eg the viral post of this article by the Electoral Reform Society (verified for the RIGHT reason, not paid) that Byline Times may be a harmful website!

Shamelessly hopping on the #introduction bandwagon: Hi, I'm Ian. I'm a science communicator and space writer working at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California as a media relations specialist. Space robot PR, basically. In a past life, I was a solar physicist. I love science fiction in all its forms and have a passion for #astrophysics, #astronomy and all things #space. When not typing, you'll likely find me at the #gym, #running in the hills, or at the pub with a G&T.

And here's my #LEGO shed where I do all my builds.

First tentative foray into Mastodon. Hello hello is anyone there?

I keep hearing that #Mastodon is not likely to replace #Twitter. To that I say: so what?
I've been contributing to the #Linux desktop for the last 15 years not because it's likely to replace #Windows, but because providing people with free desktop is the right thing to do.
I use and support Mastodon not because it's likely to replace Twitter, but because it's a social network done right.

A colleague suggested that ole Muskmelon has as a goal to destroy establishment journalism. I don’t doubt this, given his string-puller fascist Peter Thiel is in the mix. But I think he underestimated the disgust people have at this move, and the fact that many who gave the platform gravitas, humor and/or cachet have withdrawn their participation. This certainly includes many important journalists. Never mind the brand withdrawal.

Nice try, asshole.

#wakandaforever Was something special. #ryancoogler nailed it with the tone and direction. Every performance hit the mark. And #Angelbassett once again proves why she should get every accolade there is available for actors.

The lesson to take from the big layoffs at Twitter and Facebook is this: "The job will never love you back." No matter how much effort you put in, no matter how clever you are, no matter how long you've committed yourself to $COMPANY, when push comes to shove, you're just a replaceable part in the machine.

Keep your weekends and your evenings. Leave your bugs at work. Your time is for you, and your boss won't send you flowers.
