There are many people struggling at this time. It is always worth remembering and being mindful of that. Christmas has become such a consumer materialistic endeavour. Too many people will go into debt to buy things that people do not really need.

Maybe it’s time to celebrate Christmas with good food, good company and joy. That is what Christmas should be about. Not unnecessary gifts.

Elon musk now supports Ron DeSantis who banned books, banned abortion, banned saying gay, used state power to punish Disney for criticizing his bigoted policies, passed laws to criminalize protests and ban teaching Black history. This is Musk’s idea of “freedom”

A note about my use of content warnings:

I've started using them because a handful of users asked me to when I first started here. I've found that I like them and they're particularly useful for someone who posts too much and too Musk, as I do. Thinking about how much the GOP sucks should be optional.

"LOLitics" is my standard CW. That means it's a pretty typical joke/observation/shitpost. If I think something is worth more attention, I'll add a somewhat helpful but probably too glib CW.

The danger from the extreme right is terrifying.

The responsibility of politicians using the megaphone on every type of discontent, Covid, migration and Russian-style views of the Ukraine war is huge.

Time to push back !

It’s amazing the degree to which Republicans just lie. Europeans loathe Trump, as do most people around the world, save the Russians and a few others who Trump pandered to.

@StevenBeschloss people were set to abandon Twitter, but people with large accounts didn’t want to start over elsewhere, so they encouraged people to stay.
Allowing TFG back, whether he posts or not was my red line.
Those that remain are being encouraged, by those with large accounts, to remain in an abusive relationship.

I stirred everyone up with my last post so here is a picture of a delicious croissant waffle I got from a place down the street.

Then his trolls and bots swarm the entire platform amplifying this message. It’s picked up by conspiracy media and conspiracy politicians and amplified further.

When I started using Mastodon a couple of weeks ago, it seemed thriving and lots of engagement. Notifications were unbelievable. The last few days that has almost disappeared. Engagement has gone down so much, and I hardly get notifications. Has something happened on mastodon.social that I’m not aware of. I’m not the only one to notice.

I came across this old pic and it reminded me that Donald claimed he had bone spurs, STD’s were his Vietnam, and called military members losers and suckers.

He’ll never be a sliver of the man Pete Buttigieg is!
