I was talking to my daughter last night, and she "forgot" the name Mastodon. She asked me if I had heard something on "fossil Twitter," thus killing me twice.

Remember that Lyft, Uber, and DoorDash drivers are hosting labor actions today. If you can avoid using their services, please do so, and see if they are holding protests near you.
Don't cross picket lines, don't support scabs, and don't impede a work stoppage or slowdown.
@LeftistLawyer There is a difference between a Leftist brain and a Rightest brain. They see things differently and respond to things differently. But some people are trying to use every trick they can think of to make that divide wider and wider. It's a complicated issue, and there is much to say, but my feeling is that unless we can start to change some minds, their side will keep growing and ours will keep shrinking.
With all the election doubt and gerrymandering and other dirty tricks, we will certainly need to win at least some of them over or our numbers may not be enough..

@LeftistLawyer Everyone reading this thread can do this. I'm not a lawyer, but I am a small business owner, and I do much the same thing. If they think you are one of them, (or at least don't suspect you of being not one of them) it's much easier to evoke reflection. Facts and logic only provoke the Backfire Effect in them, so if we want to get them to a more rational place, we need to adjust our strategies.

(begin quote)
"Let's get something straight. Growing old doesn't make people conservative. In fact the more marginalized identity statuses a person has, the LESS conservative they grow over time.
The reason we equate "old" with "conservative" is that marginalization kills people off younger.
Some of the most radical people you know are old.
It's just a lot of others died before they could get there, so there's a diminishing proportion. (2/_)

David Attenborough [whispering]:
“As the predators close in on their helpless prey, we can only watch in silent horror, for it is not man’s role to interfere in the hierarchy of nature.”

💚 Nuestros pensamientos están con Chile, que lucha contra unos incendios devastadores. La crisis subraya la urgencia de una acción climática global. Unámonos para proteger a las comunidades vulnerables y construir un futuro sostenible para todos.

It's just amazing how companies went from fake caring to just telling all of us to get over it.
@BlackAzizAnansi I've never used Doordash. Is it kind of like Uber where you can give them a review? Because that's the kind of thing I would give a bad review for.
