@StillIRise1963 oh, that's lovely. May he stay unemployed for ever. And that is the nicest thing I can wish him. The other stuff I wish him is not suitable for a a polite, kind, world like the fediverse. Oh, hell, fuck that guy. May he rot in hell.

Last time #Trump was in office, he filled the #judiciary with unqualified, partisan activists that were literally picked from a list provided to him by the #FederalistSociety. Since being appointed, these Trump judges have been involved in a plethora of terrible decisions, and embarrassing rulings that were reversed on appeal. These are lifetime appointments, so we'll be suffering the consequences for decades to come. We can't give him the chance to appoint more.

Heads up:

If you have accounts on several instances, and you're posting the same content to them with the same hashtags, anyone who follows those tags will see your posts appearing multiple times in their feed. It can be a bit spammy. I understand wanting to reach as big an audience as you can if you're trying to make a living from your art/craft.etc. - the common way to do that here is to post to one account, then boost from the other accounts.

Tennessee Republicans have some whoop-ass coming their way. Between their insane abortion ideas, their outright refusal to address the growing gun violence problem in the state, and their overtly racist, anti-democratic expulsion of two black lawmakers, it's clear they are disconnected from their constituents, and have no intention of being reasonable. Election Day will be a day a reckoning for these enemies of the people.

Losing Tucker Carlson is a huge loss for the nation. And by "the nation," I mean Putin's Russia.

I was trying to photograph meteors, grumbling to myself at the amount of light pollution from the North ... when I finally realised what was happening and rotated the camera. Aurora from Exmoor. #aurora #auroraborealis #exmoor #exmoornationalpark

Alright. Let’s get this day started. ☀️☕️

Jack Dorsey enthusiastically co-signed the deal that betrayed 200 million Twitter users and handed their accounts over to a fucking right wing egomaniacal billionaire. You’ll have to excuse me if I’m not eager to sign up for another one of this dude’s schemes.

Hey people of Mastodon! And especially anyone who likes the stuff I make (thank you, love you). I'm feeling well after nearly 2 weeks of being bed ridden, so I'm getting back to being artistically active in music, film, poetry and jewellery making and getting back to engaging here with all of you wonderful persons behind the screens. Big love.

I think this squirrel was assessing my trash can placement. Or something? 😆

@kentindell @neil Reminds me of this

Just fyi. #openinformation

- #Movies (all around and/or #Horror)
- #Kaiju and Giant Monster Media
- #Dinosaur & #Paleontology

Thanks! (Pls boost for reach)

For a few minutes today I was 7 years old again. I was at the Grand Rapids Comic Con to meet Bin Furuya, the original #Ultraman from the 1960s series. I was obsessed with it since the 70s.

He will be 80 this year, and he's a lovely man. He did the motion capture for the film Shin Ultraman, released last year.

I've gone to cons since the late 80s,and this was up there with meeting Nichelle Nichols. It was totally worth the drive.

Early employee Twitter @rabble has a different opinion on Nostr.

He believes it’s only a matter of time before relays will be regulated.

It’s important to understand that @rabble is making his own Nostr client—one which is very good, and makes the best case for Nostr so far.

But more importantly, he knows full well that every social network, regardless of protocol, requires moderation—even if users don’t believe in it.

#NoLabels Took More Than $100,000 From Clarence Thomas Buddy Harlan Crow

"The “nonpartisan” group also relied on Crow—whom it dubbed one of its “whales”—to reel in nearly two dozen other donors from 2019 to 2021."
