@neroden @Romaq Who is being taken by surprise by Twitter's condition? Why are you presenting this as breaking news?

@Romaq @mergerson

Yeah, that's fair enough. I mean, I'm still on Twitter! I just expect it to explode and collapse any day and I hate seeing people be taken by surprise by that.

@neroden What if I told you that Black Americans are extremely tech savvy and well-informed as to developments, and can make their own judgments as to timing and next steps?

Stop trying to make "the only ethical choice is to leave Twitter" happen unless you've made the choice to not listen to the Black communities who have explained why it's still important for many.

Yes, the owner is clearly, at a minimum, openly friendly with fascists. Now wait until you hear about the everyday lives of Black Americans in predominantly White communities and workplaces.

Make your choice but do not proclaim it to be "the only" reasonable choice.

@Romaq Not everything needs to be monetized.

Reasonably good briefing on Artemis entry plans, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkEBfxtg4Xg - BUT do we actually have a lat/lon for the target splashdown location anywhere @NASA@twitter.com ? Is there a NOTAM or something for the splashdown zone (as opposed to the reentry corridor)?

7 out of 10 Black voters are worried about voter suppression. 1 out of 5 Black voters have personally experienced voter suppression! Less than 25% of Black voters think the democratic party prioritizes the issues most important for their survival. Now that's disillusionment.

And yet, 50% of Black US voters didn't go full fascist or try to overthrow the government?

In normal folk, disillusionment leads to demands for a better democracy.👍🏿 There are better options than "Fascism or giving up."

Trillions of galaxies each containing billions of stars with each having a family of orbiting planets expanding ever farther from where the eye can see, yet in one galaxy, orbiting an insignificant star, on a single rock, a god made all of this to glorify himself, so a single species of primates would cut off their penis tips, not eat shellfish, & know how many shekels to sell their daughters for — all so the primates would worship him, or else burn for eternity.

I wrote a story for a friend - by @JulianGough@twitter.com https://buff.ly/3Pb5VAH The story behind the #Minecraft #EndPoem. Long, emotional, fascinating.

When I hear about the coup attempt in Germany & the desire of these violent extremists to insert Prince Heinrich XIII of Reuss as the leader after a planned execution of the German chancellor, it sounds ludicrous, laughable. But that's the thing: These people are deadly serious.

Because the plots of these anti-democratic extremists often seem so ludicrous, they can succeed because the public--& too many leaders--don't take them seriously enough. This tendency is how Trump got as far as he did.

Tradition is just peer pressure from dead people.

You know what they say; act up, be ungovernable…

A cryptobro DMed me to ask if I wanted to join his mailing list.

I spent slightly too long making this to send in reply.

This one makes me laugh every year… because it is so very true.
