As so often with Trump, the correct answer is the obvious one in front of our noses. Why did he fight tooth and nail for 6 years to avoid releasing taxes? Because he knew, and mortally feared, that they would show him for what he is, a
big
Fat
LOSER.

It's. Not. Over. #MaskUp #GetBoosted 😷 💉

Via Dr. Zeke Emmanuel:

"I get it. We're exhausted & want #COVID19 to be over, but it's not that simple. 125K Americans a year are still dying. China's likely to see 800M infections this month. We can prevent the worst with masks & air filtration, but Americans have to buy in."

Many stranded Southwest travelers who sought flights on different airlines were met with a shock: sky-high prices — in some cases triple or quadruple the rate for the same route a week ago.

Here's why.

There you have it folks!!

Great grey owl, Ontario, Canada, what a handsome bird.

I saw a toot about how Mastodon isn’t a suitable network for social movements.. posted on a social network with 8 million accounts that has no adverts, is volunteer run, is open source, has no owner and is end to end free of big technology companies.

Smart analysis of Warren's influence and political skills

"It’s not just that Warren has lots of ideas. What goes less noticed is how shrewd she is at the politics of advancing her agenda...While often cast by the party’s centrists as proposing overly liberal ideas that will annoy moderate voters, Warren in fact tends to fixate on issues where she is aligned with popular opinion..."

Atari didn't release for the #Atari8bit computers some of the games made for the #Atari5200 console. Glenn the Man, at the time one of the the most known Atari software crackers, converted them so they would run on the Atari 8-bit computers (for example Gremlins). In november he passed away. He's real name was Glenn Botts. @savetz interviewed him in 2015: https://ataripodcast.libsyn.com/antic-interview-90-glenn-the-5200-man #atari #retrogaming #cracking

"By banning some of us, Musk is sending a message to everyone else: Comply with the dictator or lose access. Twitter has become a virtual simulation of authoritarian rule."

"But Musk didn’t build Twitter. We, collectively, turned the bird app into a consequential power. If it remains under the control of a man who sees journalists as enemies, we have a moral responsibility to fly the coop."

@SpockResists I've been off for a couple of days. How were your holidays?

I'm probably very late to noticing this, but I had to look up some stuff about Nazi Germany yesterday and used Wkipedia as a starting place, as one does, and I am 90% sure the pagest showed signs of being edited by people who are pro-Nazi/pro-Hitler. I even made an edit to remove a very blatant example, but it seemed to be an issue on all the wikipedia articles I happened to visit on Nazi stuff.

Anyone else noticed this? Has anyone written about it?

There will be right wing provocateurs masquerading as professionals from various fields.

In case you missed this brilliant development yesterday!

I love atheists because they choose to be good not out of fear of hell but because it’s the right thing to do.

How I long to reblog killer comebacks! It's gonna happen! The vulture is dying and 2023 will bring #MarkHamill, #ChrisEvans and #RexChapman to #Mastodon ! One way or another...

IMPORTANT #FEDIBLOCK

RECOMMEND IMMEDIATE DEFEDERATION

After being followed by a user on this instance, I discovered it is a den of self-described pedophiles who call themselves "maps" and believe they are "queer" and deserve to be on the LGBTQ spectrum 🤢. They even followed several people on tech.lgbt!! I have DMed these people to warn them for their safety.
