Trump + Kushner + MBS = corruption and a national security threat.

To be sure, I want Meta to die.

I don't like it when people lose jobs, not one bit.

But I also think Meta is one of the most toxic and evil corporations to exist: one that has enabled genocides.

So I hope Meta keeps making this mistake, and Facebook, Instagram, etc. keep dying a slow death.

OK I'll do an intro.

I'm Eric. I work the front-end web world in order to enjoy cooking, eating, family and friends as often as possible.

I'm generally thoughtful and a good listener. I'll share things I find humorous but kind-natured, technically interesting, or generally neat.

I really want this to thing to work. I'll do my part by trying to be more creative and sharing it.

Whoa! 🤩

Democrats are passing bills, building the country up, and putting Americans to work with higher wages while Republicans are running around the halls of Congress with balloons.

Jesus slammed those ‘He Gets Us’ ads during the #Superbowl because cuz he knows they’re funded by the founder of Hobby Lobby. Check out what Jesus said on this episode of the God Pod: https://thegodpodcast.com/jesus-slams-he-gets-us-super-bowl-ad/

@EugeneMcParland So governments, whose exact job it is to decide things, shouldn't make decisions about sport? Sport has some magic special snowflake exemption from the rest of the world does it?

This day in history. 1633. Galileo faced charges of heresy for saying the planets revolve around the sun. But the Catholic church admitted its error and apologized, in 1992.

it must be school picture day

Her name was Brianna Ghey. She was 16. She was murdered. Stabbed to death. The local police are obfuscating that this was an anti-trans hate crime. British media coverage is ignoring that she was trans. Because of the success of TERF/GC fascists, she won't be buried as herself. Her death certificate and headstone, by British law, will misgender and erase her. This is what all TERF/GCs want: Total elimination and erasure of trans people.
Was your crappy wizard simulator worth her life?

Which corgi are you?

I very recently learned that the term “boycott” comes from someone’s actual name: Charles Boycott. Boycott was an English land agent who tried, in 1880, to collect unpayable rents from Irish peasants on behalf of an English aristocrat landlord. When he failed to collect the rents, he tried evicting the tenants. The Irish Land League responded with a campaign to ignore Boycott’s orders and isolate him socially and economically.

They not only ignored his eviction orders and threw manure at his process servers, but refused to deliver his mail or sell him food.

It was pretty effective—the British government eventually had to deploy a thousand soldiers (naturally, because the state works for the propertied class and none more than the 19th century British state) at a cost of some £10,000 to harvest £500 worth of crops. Boycott had to be evacuated by the soldiers, who even had to drive him out, as no locals would agree to drive his carriage out of the region.

Imagine being cancelled so hard that your name becomes permanently associated with getting cancelled.

This is also one of my favourite owl photographs I've made. These two Barred Owl (Strix varia) owlets were sitting together on this branch and were nice enough to still be there when I returned with a longer lens!

#Introduction
Hi, I'm new here to Mastodon. I didn't do much on social media until the pandemic, and now I'm kind of hooked. I was active on Twitter, but given the new owner's plans it's time to transition elsewhere.

I like sailing, kayaking, day hiking, and a good lager. Until about three years ago, I was active in skiing and beer league hockey.

My social media interests include humor, current affairs, politics (especially the upcoming election), history, art, cinema, and technology.

@drewharwell That should constitute a grave breach of medical confidentiality, and should also be considered a criminal act.
