Folks can sign up to be matched on our website here https://www.skypeascientist.com/sign-up.html

I have no idea who originally made this graphic, but whoever you are, you are a genius.

"Right-wing activist Charlie Kirk was drowned out by protesters chanting “Fuck you, fascist!” during an appearance at Northern Arizona University. Mediaite reported that the Turning Point USA founder visited the university on Tuesday for a debate entitled “Prove Me Wrong: The Government is Lying to You.” Awaiting Kirk was a swarm of rowdy protesters carrying signs including “Facists [sic] fuck off!” “Charlie Kirk has a small face,” “Trans rights = human rights,” and “Charlie K. is a piss baby.” Mediaite said Kirk set up a booth to debate students only to be “drowned out by screaming students, bullhorns, and even a brass band.”

CEOs keep pretending they can't afford to pay workers fairly while they rake in millions off of workers' labor. Don't fall for this illusion of scarcity.

“Today, my Administration approved another $37 million in debt cancellation for over 1,200 borrowers who were deceived by the University of Phoenix.” - President Biden in a statement https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2023/09/20/statement-from-president-joe-biden-on-student-debt-relief-action-for-university-of-phoenix-borrowers/

@Skepticat there is a man who has run out of fucks to give about the opposition. They will yell slur at him regardless, so he will not seek any middle ground and that ladies and gentlemen, makes him the hero the American people desperately need.

Say it with me people, Fetterman/Ocasio-Cortez 2028!

Yep, sometimes people are overly sensitive on Mastodon, and Yep, it can be more serious here sometimes too, BUT I in no way miss the bullying and harassment of anyone left of center, LGBTQ, women, people of color, anyone that was decided to be too "Woke". I don't miss how difficult it was to get rid of people who had blatantly broke the rules. I don't miss clique gangs who would randomly decided to destroy someone else's account because of pettiness. I most definitely don't miss actual fucking Nazis.

If people seem overly sensitive and serious, remember it's usually because they found a safer place to be themselves and they really really want to keep it that way. We have the opportunity to build, and maintain great things here. So, if you want more funny, make more funny, make whatever you want, let's just keep each other safe.

Working from home with the kittens today!

#UAW Union President Shawn Fain blasts #Trump's reported plan to speak with auto workers and union members in Detroit:

"Every fiber of our union is being poured into fighting the billionaire class and an economy that enriches people like Donald Trump at the expense of workers."

"But I ask you this: If we abandon the core principles of the United States to appease an aggressor, can any state in this body feel that they are protected? If we allow Ukraine to be carved up, is the independence of any nation secure?

I respectfully suggest the answer is ‘no.’ We have to stand up to this naked aggression today, and deter other would-be aggressors tomorrow.

That’s why the U.S. together with our allies and partners around the world will continue to stand with the brave people of Ukraine as they defend their sovereignty and territorial integrity and their freedom.”

Powerful speech by President Joe Biden before the United Nations, with President Zelenskyy also in attendance.

Screenshot from CNN Live Feed of President Biden’s Remarks

“Russia alone bears responsibility for this war. Russia alone has the power to end this war immediately. And it’s Russia alone that stands in the way of peace.

Russia’s price for peace is Ukraine’s capitulation, Ukraine’s territory, and Ukraine’s children. Russia believes that the world will grow weary and allow it to brutalize Ukraine without consequence."
