I’m more frequently seeing new accounts show up that are arguing for only one thing, repeatedly. Remember the large scale disinfo campaigns on Twitter made to look like real people from real places and with real lives? I think they’ve discovered #Mastodon.

So, a friendly reminder not to believe everything you read on here. Check out the person’s bio and timeline before buying their story - especially if you find yourself nodding in agreement. We can be better than Musk’s rat palace.

Ouch.

Unfortunately for all of us, Republicans really are the fucking embodiment of the old saying: “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”

A Quick Explainer on the GOP House Problems:
The GOP is full of selfish greedy attention whores. They don’t want to govern: they want to be on Hannity.

Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-1), again votes for insurrectionist Jim Jordan. He could've followed the lead of the 22 representatives who said "no" and want another option...but nope. #uspolitics

5/ Via Scott MacFarlane:

A new defector. Rep Vern Buchanan (R-FL) does not vote for Rep Jim Jordan on second ballot

Via Angry Staffer:

That’s 4.

We’re only in the Cs.

Time to tap out, Gym.

I see lots of folks trying to distinguish between Hamas and Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

It's important to remember that Hamas won the last Palestinian election, in results Fatah, Israel, and the U.S. have refused to recognize.

If you are going to say that Palestinians should pursue justice through peaceful means, you need to ensure that such means exist.

What we see is rather the opposite, with a toothless, spineless, corrupt Palestinian Authority that depends on complicity with the occupier for its survival.

"Throughout his career, he has pushed Louisiana to restrict LGBTQ+ rights and block teaching of such issues in education, including at the collegiate level. Last year, Landry created a new tool for people to file complaints against teachers and libraries. He has also worked for the state to obtain information about Louisiana residents who travel out of state to obtain gender-affirming care or abortions."

Hey #astronomy and #scicomm friends. The amazing @cosmoquestx is gearing up for a fundraising event called Hangout-athon, coming Nov 3-5.

They're an amazing group that produces multiple podcasts and has even helped NASA missions (obligatory FU Benu). They deserve all the money in the world, but like many others, the economy is hitting them hard.

Please consider helping out, even just by spreading the word.

Sometimes I feel like my account is a way for me to keep track of interesting people and farm serotonin for my slightly janky brain in order to get anything else done, other times I'm pretty sure it's a subscription service that aims to disseminate cute cat photos and clips for those who are cat-inclined

Good morning all! Hope everyone has a great day!!!

"Recently, however, several major corporations, including AT&T, Comcast, Intel, and Mastercard, have resumed donations to Jordan [after ceasing donations following the Jan. 6 insurrection attempt]. …

Popular Information asked these four companies what Jordan has done since January 6 to alleviate concerns about donating to his campaign. None of the companies responded."
